Nice to see a player give an interview that's not all thought terminating clichés. Absolute respect to the way he answered in that interview.

Atleast he isn’t sugar coating it, most players on that pitch were playing by themselves not as a team, so many random long shots and not enough effort which you rarely say about this arsenal side. Disappointed that we played like this especially in a crucial game like this.

Respect for your honesty Xhaka🙏🏾

respect to granit for being honest 👏🏼

He has my vote what a top attitude to have and he is venting frustration at the lack of fight this team has, yes in 4/5 years this team would be incredible but we want to compete now and investing has its results but we as a football club need those results now

Got to give credit to his parents for brining up such a fine young man who is honest & forthcoming in admitting his mistakes ~ he’s got a bright future ahead. Only those who come clean & realize their shortfall will truly learn their lesson 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Say what you want about Xhaka, but he’s not wrong. Arsenal have done well to put themselves in a position where their objectives are within reach and when they need a performance the most, the players look jittery and pathetic.

It’s an embarrassment that we had to rely on kids all season, that should never be the case for a team fighting for top 4. It’s not enough to win us games. That is one of the worst group of players and performances I’ve seen. We are nothing without Partey and Tierney. I blame Arteta for creating this weak team who play with fear. T4 was in our hands and we let slip!! Bunch of bottle jobs!!

Yeah, can't say I'm the biggest fan of Xhaka, but he's right in what he's saying in this interview.

Can't wait for the all or nothing show and seeing what arteta told them to do in this game and what he said at half time and full time.

What a difference in him this season in 2023 omg solid 👏

They honesty is respected. Arsenal have a long way to go!

Well said xhaka, but to get this far with this squad is an over achievement in its self...Europa League is a good result for us and this season is a big lesson for a lot of our young players.... Well done!

Experience can spot inexperience, and it seems he’s not wrong. You can sense it on the pitch and Xhaka definitely can in the dressing room. He never seems scared to speak up, which is not always a good thing, but in this instance, I empathise with the frustration. Spoke on what we all saw through the cracks, but hoped was not enough to fall through - no signings in January. Whether it’s the board or Mikel / Edu, it was so blatant to everyone but them. You can barely fill a FIFA squad with first team players, let alone signing *quality* first team players. £30m Guimarães was the differential today, and he could’ve been our differential (or someone of his calibre) had we pulled our weight in January. We go again next season, constantly falling one step behind and seemingly never able to take an opportunities when it is presented to us. It’s getting tiring.

It was good to know someone actually cares. He looks distraught

This guy is a top player, I don’t care what you Arsenal fans think of him. He does play well but the poor playing of his teamates destroy all his good play. He is carrying Arsenal and without him this season, we would’ve finish mid in the table. He is on about the likes of Smith rowe and Martinelli

Xhaka Big respect You did great to night honestly.

Conte came in half way through the season and got Spurs top 4, While Mikel had been fighting for it for 4-5 seasons . This is the difference between a top coach vs Peps assistant

He hasn’t even been here for 3 seasons dumb ass

He’s spot on; sometimes Carragher and Neville need to think before they turn on interviewees like a pair of schoolyard bullies. Xhaka spoke for all Arsenal fans.

So refreshing to hear a player being honest

I have been one of Xhaka's biggest critics in the past but respect for him not making excuses

Xhaka is 100% spot on here

He literally watched as Bruno ran past him and scored the goal instead of following him. This man should stay home

It's more the level of the squad. When everyone was fit, we went on a great run, didn't drop many points, but a couple of injuries have shown how poor our depth is

Great move to give arteta another 3 years before the season ended. Trust the process !

Stfu. It's the players that let him down today. Arteta is the only reason we even got close to being top 4 this season. All of these players are spineless.

Arteta has manipulated Arsenal fans so much it’s unbelievable. Arsenal fans saying they’ve improved under him by going from 8th to 5th when Arteta was the reason they came 8th in the first place 😂😂😂😂. Aswell as this they were the biggest spenders in the league during the summer and had no European football meaning they had the easiest fixture list out of the “Big 6” yet they still couldn’t get top 4.

If they finish 5th on 69 points, it’s still a good season from arsenal. Of course the way it’s panned out is very frustrating for them, to be pipped by their arch rivals, but it’s such a young team, and there was so much deadwood it was not gonna be an easy fix. Spurs have two world class forwards, and with respect arsenal have Nketiah and players that are nowhere near that level. They have clear areas to improve, but I genuinely think if arsenal do trust the process in a year or two they will be close to getting back to the top.
