Premier League 2018-19, Arsenal 3-1 West Ham United: Hits and flops from the game

#2 Worst: Granit Xhaka

It was another disappointing performance by the Swiss

Not him again. Granit Xhaka is just not reliable in midfield under Emery's high-press system. Firstly, his performance went down in terms of on-the-ball work. Usually, the holding midfielder picks out long passes, looks comfortable in possession and creates a couple of chances in the game.

This time around though, Xhaka misplaced a few 10-yard passes and lacked creativity. Off the ball, Xhaka was off the pace. He was often found out of position. There were times when he was found jogging in the laziest of manners too.

He also needs to work with Guendouzi like a pair. Their poor organisation leaves Sokratis way too exposed. Many would be asking, "why isn't Torreira in the starting line-up yet?"
