everyone in their own car going home: see you tomorrow xhaka. xhaka: STAY! STAY!
hahahahahaha
Let's all just hope Arteta doesn''t stay
@@Carlin-qt4jk he’s a good coach in my opinion just doesn’t have anyone to back him up
😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@alex_fv1233 he thinks he is pep with oil money backing ... that's why he chop and changes and that, we cannot afford. Maybe he is genius tactically but he overthinks a lot plus he doesn't realise that he shouldn't start enmity against high paid players cos we cant afford to terminate em ... I dont know why he bought willian too!!
Man said f*ck me, that's football I love this guy. How he called Pepe to focus and was literally getting players back in position His understanding of the game isn't talked about enough. Top guy Granit!!
It doesn’t matter who they give the arm band to it’s easy to see who is the true captain.
Couldn't have said it better!
so true
Yes him and Luiz both are respected no matter what you think of them as footballers
He threw the arm band and told fans to f off. He's lucky he's still at the club in my opinion. Tierney should be captain. He's a true leader.
Yeah, Tierney!
Xhaka has actually been decent the pass few months, but when he makes 1 mistake the whole fan base turns on him
Exactly. It's what they do whenever they decide to hate a player permanently. The player can have 10 -15 good games but it won't matter until he makes one mistake then they'll destroy him. That's the same way they treat Luiz.
@@harryiyke6125 But if you guys want European football for now aiming 6th you need to get rid of him I mean how are opposition gonna take you seriously when you realize his competition in midfield is Elneny
@@rubenbernardo9480 Xhaka is a decent player that adds value to the squad. He may not be the most skillful, quick or technically gifted but he shows leadership and provides balance to the squad. I agree though that he needs better competition than the likes of Elneny or even Ceballos.
He makes loads of mistakes that’s why so what are we supposed to do ignore the other ones 😂😂😂 plus if he’s been so decent then why are we where we are in the league don’t get why people like him now
@@Anonymous-iv9cz Your comment doesn't make sense. Going by Your logic, we can't say any Arsenal player has done well this season including Saka, Tierney and ESR. If they had done well Arsenal wouldn't be in this position. That's your logic. Unless you are saying that Xhaka is the sole person to blame for Arsenal's bad season. That would be ridiculous.
“That’s football guys” COYG! 💪
Pure passion
Totally underrated, always scapegoated, does all dirty works in midfield for us, stay behind to cover the other midfielders/ Tierney and a good leader
Bro honestly u watch Arsenal Games and u think he's good and we start him every game and we are in 10th?if u think like Arteta no wonder we lose
@@ADRPLREVIEW do you blame the missed chances on xhaka as well?
@@LMRamos121 Xhaka yes has a strong personality but he can't lead Arsenal fourth let alone 7th he isn't good enough
@@LMRamos121 no but the Burnley game, yes. Mistake against Leicester for their goal too. The commentators were saying sheff Utd should attack Xhaka’s side of the pitch more why??? Because he’s what makes us vulnerable you’re being biased by saying xhaka is a good player
@@Anonymous-iv9cz yeah shows your football iq relying on a commentator for critics.
A lot of arsenal fans are underestimating(hate) Xhaka because of the way he plays. Actually, his main goal is balance the attacking and defense. And he is doing his role perfectly. There is nothing wrong about him. He already became our engine. You guys probably have seen matches without Xhaka, looking very unorganized, unbalanced. He deserves more.
I agree completely and I think he deserves to be captain if Tierney is not playing
@@blerothefirehero2221 you're a disgrace
Saw what happened when we're without him, Liverpool 3 Arsenal 0
This is all true but he still can't play football he's awful with the ball. All this shouting is nice and he does balance the team but he still isn't good enough. We need an upgrade on him.
Yes pal well said 👏
He's thinking on the pitch. I can see why Arteta plays him
Who else would we play lad😂
@@niamrehman4251 he played left back so maybe Cedric but Xhaka s pretty evidently the captain
@@niamrehman4251 like😂😂😂😂😂😂 playing a elneny that only can score from distance and a ceballos that keeps spinning like a spanish kylie minogue. That is xhaka’s competition😂😂😂😂😂🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
@@niamrehman4251 hahaha indeed but out of the options available....
@@Mitral_valve yh I agree he has been good and deserved to start but arteta starts him also because elneny is the competition
look how partey also said "what a pass" after hugging granit.
It was granit saying "what a pass" to partey ..
@@roryfreeman6481 look at partey's lips while the word is being said
@@roryfreeman6481 rewatch... partey also said what a pass. Alot of African plays congratulate themselves
@@treysweeney9290 yes we do its natural
the only player that voice on the pitch and loud in the dressing room alongside tierney, this is the mentality we need!
Don’t forget Ødegaard
hes a bum, dont lower ur standard
Say what you like about Granit, but that is more captain material than anyone else in the squad. You would never see Aubameyang control the squad, just because he's a striker as well. Xhaka sees the whole pitch.
Not good enough
I would like to see an open mic on Auba. See how he handles himself and his teammates on the pitch though I assume unless he scores a lot, it's gonna be a quiet video.
@@akmal94ibrahim nah dude it will just be him laughing like Eddie Murphy for 90 mins
Xhaka makes way to many stupid mistakes so I’d never have him as my captain
Kane is a ST and he is very vocal for spurs and the national team.. AUBA is leader in the dressing room, but not a captain material...imo
He is so vocal. I love it.
Granit Xhaka has improved a lot since the red car, Now lets focus on Thursdays game COYG 🔴
COYG
COYGG
COYG!!!!!!
*since Arteta took over.
We are im 10th Xhaka is trash
Xhaxa is a future manager for sure he's eyes are all over the pitch
That’s why Arteta trusts him & plays him. Xhaka is Arteta on the pitch.
great manager he will be
Yes manager 😂
Not just arteta but all managers. We fans scapegoat him but we should ask ourselves whether we know more about football than the managers themselves or not.
@@baristashah8868 they more or less even play the same way
The captain without the armband! I know he has his flaws but if we would more games if we had more players with his heart, mentality and passion for the team. He never ever hides. A true leader.
hes a bum
you type of fans make me sick
@@cleatus999 fans such as yourself?
@@HarrisonAlley clap for your boyfriend
“Yes that’s football guys”👏🏾👏🏾
He's such a great teamplayer! During the celebration you can see, how important it is for him, that they celebrate together as a team and even to push them for the rest of the game
Xhaka: Bobby!! me: Since when does Firmino play for Arsenal. Also me: Oh, it's Holding
Same I was still confused on who Bobby was until I saw this comment 😂😂
i think its robert but people call him rob holding
Who is pablo ?
escobar
@rahmat khel and who is B?
I love Open mic this content so much
Xhaka Has Been Great Recently, Can't Deny It
@@pranav77777 Look what happened against liverpool when we didn't have him - just saying
He’s not good enough for arsenal football club.
@@gabrielmartinelli2549 shut up
@@Washheaye we aren't winning the league with him therefore he's not good enough
@@gabrielmartinelli2549 If you actually believe that you're a joke mate, if you don't think he's good enough to be a part of a premiership winning squad your dellusional, wouldn't obviously be one of the few best players in that hypothetical squad but he'd be a damn useful player to have in a squad capable of winning the league.
When they go and celebrate the third goal with Partey for his amazing turn and prime özil-esque through ball, made me smile so much man
For sure! Also how happy he was for Laca after that goal. You can tell those two have a proper friendship. Great video.
"It's offside Gabi"😂😂
The best communicator we have at the club
he’s appreciate each and everythings his teammate did on the pitch. thats what should captain did! COYG
Emang bener mas.
5% instructions 5% passion 90% Gabi Gabi Gabi 😂
That how it should be cause Gabi playing on d same left side with him and he can see everything so he guiding
@@derenhuggins yeah it should, I like how he's guiding a young player like that. I just find it funny that's around 90 percent of what Granit is saying 😂
1000% STAY STAY
@@RiteshAcharya lolol yh🤣
Coz he needs his help
Team work 💪 I like his Leadership
Got amazing captain qualities he’s a real leader
you love to see how happy Pablo was when Gabi scored
Only people who truly understand football can appreciate the high level of footballer that Xhaka is.
Only people who truly understand football know he’s dead, as a rival fan I hope you keep him and arteta😂
@@lukey19920 some of these guys are so deluded
hes a bum, we can do better, dont lower the standard
The delusion is real
@@cleatus999 I swear they never seen a good midfielder before, respect you proper fans
Xhaka actually really has the criteria to be a captain, he is very worthy.
But he is the captain of his country
@@akwohanson6279 yes that's right, I mean for Arsenal
Its actually annoying. The truth is that the armband incident hurt his chances of ever being named club captain again but you can tell he is the leader
@@TaylorGangUkTaylors I think all players make mistakes. What Xhaka did in the past was a mistake. I think he's learned and more mature now. There are always other opportunities when players are still in the team and have a good contribution to the team.
@@dzikrinugraha1613 agreed. I wouldnt be against it. I also think that abuse online especially after his wife gave birth tipped him over the edge.
This gave me goosebumps! Such a character Xhaka is! 💐
Xhaka should get Arm Band again. He is a true Leader ...
Shouldn't have taken it away in the first place.
I think tierney should
Yeah... Until he does something utterly stupid and reckless again and causes a big furor in the papers. Honestly it's a distraction. He obviously doesn't need the armband to act like a captain, just leave it as it is and give it to KT when Auba goes.
He is the leader not auba
you’re all delusional
I’m impressed with Xhaka’s leadership 👏🏽
Xhaka the best , true leader , COYG FOREVER ⚪🔴🔥
When are people gonna actually appreciate this guy
I appreciate the effort and work rate. Not the red cards, mistakes and backwards passing
We're 10th we need better players
Now
If Xhaka had Partey's hips he would be world class. Dude only weakness is his mobility and becomes limited when the opponent won't give him time on the ball
His weaknesses is when he has the ball and when he doesn’t have the ball 🤣🤣
@@Anonymous-iv9cz hilarious
That's like saying Lenos only weakness is catching the ball...
@@Anonymous-iv9cz 🤣🤣🤣🤣
5:46 I love how Partey gasses up his own assist
No armband, but still a captain!
Great communication from Xhaka and encouragement. That's teamwork
WOW! WHY IS THIS GUY DO UNDERSTIMATED, WHAT A LEADER
So we just ignore his footballing ability all together yh..........
Every manager who has coached Xhaka (Swiss, Monchen, Wenger, Emery, Arteta) absolutely loves him. Every teammate of Xhaka has huge respect for him. Every fan who has played decent level of football and understands the game values him for his qualities. Idiot troll fans who only watch football highlights and play Fifa think he is sh*t.
Wooow. I watched this video multiple times cause this is just wonderful. He is such a great leader. The captain without the armband. It’s unfortunate his contribution to the team is under appreciated by most of the fan base. Despite the fact that he’s error prone, I personally feel that he has been a key component of this team in recent times and the decline in quality of performances when he is absent just proves that fact.
The Real Captain 🔥
Former captain and you Arsenal fans will just turn on him the next day
@@rubenbernardo9480 You can have more lol
We should start appreciating Xhaka, he’s being vocal keeps everyone focused
He has got character and leadership, Arteta has improved him.
Xhaka COYG. True gunner legend 🙌
Not legend but a fine footballer and has obvious talent.
This is why every voach commands his respect. Football IQ , mental tenacity, fearless. Interpretation of tactics. Thats thd swiss captain. Redcard dont define him. One of the most influencial guys !
COYG! let’s keep winning! I love these videos so much!
Wow, so this's Xhaka, impressive 👏🏾
it would be cool if the editor adds the normal pitch view as well, maybe in the corner, so we can see what is happening with the ball when xhaka is talking
That is an interesting idea. Would love to see it too.
Love this man, should never have been stripped of the armband. Passion is always there. 🔴⚪
So telling fans to f*ck off deserves that armband 👏👏👏
@@rubenbernardo9480 so you've never said anything out of anger 🤔 He owned up after, apologised, and explained himself. Taking accountability and admitting you're wrong to everyone is the hardest thing to do. And to then come back, be a standout player and still show the amount of passion and pride to play for the club. So aye, I'd be happy to have him as Captain 👌🏻
Martinelli has nightmares of xhaka screaming GABI lol
heheh... facts..arteta also says gabi a lot
I’m not Xhaka’s biggest fan but he always gives 100%! We should keep him as a squad player! 🔴⚪️👊🏻
Look at this leader and important player for the team! I still have zero understanding why he was treated like this...
HIS STUPID MISTAKES THAT HE MAKES EVERY MONTH 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@Anonymous-iv9cz who doesn't? At least in the defense?
@@yungcamembert6013 no one makes as much as him even in other teams I don’t see players making all those mistakes
I hope we win Europa league
He’s is a good leader and a player he’s so underrated
Pure passion ❤️❤️
Can see why every manager loves him. Prone to the odd error but such an important player and person to have around the club. Love him.
U are the best granit true leader and a captain on and off the pitch❤️
He should be our captain again.. Maybe last time he just made a mistake but I think, arteta should give him a chance again..
Nope nope nope and again NOO. He disrespected the fans, the club and the captains armband. People like vieira, adams, fabregas, van persie and Thierry Henry have worn the armband. Do you really think they would react the way he reacted?? Tierney should be captain. In his 2 seasons with us he has done more than xhaka did in 4 years!!!!!
@@stefane8763 ahhh the Xhaka agenda is back again 🙄
@@stefane8763 did those players get the same hate as Xhaka?
@@INDONESIA574 no because they were great players lol Xhaka is not
@@stefane8763 van persie really? cant be serious
Xhaka is not a player who you should rely on to win you games singlehandedly but a player that if you surround with great players around will make the game easier for them. He’s the link between the defense and attack and his passing range is among the best in the world. Many fans who hate are fans who just look at goals and assists who have never played in their life.
Xhaka underrated
My Captain. He deserved the Armband. What a man he was. A true leader. He was so vocal. Keep going Granit
From Kenya 🇰🇪. Show your love
5:38 that assist from Thomas was top quality. That's why they went to him first, then to Laca to celebrate together.
Even Xhaka haters can't hate on this
Um you do know that the reason most people (who have their lid screwed on) want him gone because of his footballing ability. 👀
A wonderful player, I love him this season!
5:43 love to see how they celebrate the pass form Thomas Partey!!!! the smile on his face is priceless!!!!
Granit is so underrated,he's a fantastic player!
I’ll assume you haven’t watched Arsenal the Last 4 years then😅
@@zohaibchaudhri i watch arsenal when i was 8 and now i'm 18👍
@@andreapassaretta funnily enough I’m 18 next week 🎉😅
i love when he points to partey after the goal❤
How I love the man, Xhaka is exceptionally good, incomparable indeed
"That's football guys"❤️❤️
Most underrated in the squad. The real leader. Big up Granit 🔴🔴🔴
I really do hate our fan base on social media, and they don’t realize the hard work of the players, never seem to be supporting and true fans of arsenal, this shows how hard players work every game
This was a great video!!! THANK YOU for uploading Arsenal. Made me see Xhaka in a whole different light! So interesting to hear how vocal he is and I now really appreciate his leadership qualities.
Absolutely loving these open mic videos.
And this is why we need this Man. Just look at our games without him.
He will definitely be a coach in future💪
the best one so far
One of our best players this season
That's the leadership we need from the back. Xhaka playing full-back might just be a hidden gem now that Tierney's out for a while
Don't hate Xhaka my fellows fans coz we saw in the recent weeks without him we lost many things in the middle...he is the leader and praise for him
Inspirational. True leader
Love these series
Dammit laca just go left
Give him back the captains armband!
Agree, either him or Tierney
Hugely impressive performance. This open mic series is really useful in giving us a side of the game we would not normally experience.
Love these!! Such a vocal player we miss it when he doesn't play
Last season I wanted Xhaka out. This season he's improved a lot and he's in my fav 3 players at the club after Saka and Tierney.
We’ve still went downhill since he’s signed
@@Anonymous-iv9cz true
@@acoutre that’s not necessarily true though, we signed Laca and Auba the team when he signed wasn’t that different to the team that finished 2nd look at it now with Odegaard and partey we have a decent team I don’t think Xhaka is on their level at all. Let’s say we buy Odegaard right our team is good enough to try and get top 6 at least we need to get rid of dry wood like xhaka and luiz and holding and bellerin and get younger, better players that will get us back to where we’re meant to be
He’s been massive all season, i don’t think we need to replace him, we need a stronger option for when he’s not playing though, our bench is weak
@@RonaldNixiux He wouldn’t get into any Top half team. City (😅) ,Chelsea (😅) , Liverpool (😅) West ham over Declan Rice and Soucek NO) Leicester(😅) Tottenham (over Ndombele NO WAY) Everton (MAYBE) Man United (No) Leeds (not over Kalvin Phillips)
Xhaka🔥🔥
I really love these open mics.
Always loved the way xhaka plays, a conductor of the squad that’s passionate and intelligent i hope he continues to play well (Gunner fan here from the states🔴⚪️)

Only player which shows passion
Thanks to amazing mic and no noise from the audiences, we can finally hear how they play and communicate on the pitch
Love this! we know a little more about team spirits on the pitch
