Sick of seeing influential twitter accounts these days posting whatever they think fans want to hear, simply to earn followers. Modern football has changed, but so to has modern journalism and it's to the detriment of real fans who want real views.

Ornstein on Xhaka: “Even when he was being slated widely, people inside the club were telling me that you don’t realise how important he is to the team, the structure, the balance, the understanding of tactics.” #afc

[Sash ~ @ltarsenal]

Ornstein: Xhaka will be back soon. Arsenal want to re-integrate him into the side. Says club feel they have suffered in his absence. Adds that the balance of the team and cover he provides to the defense is affected. Club will look to play him first in an away match.

Eric Dier and Jose talking to each other in Portugese in Tottenham gear. What the fuck is going on. Feel like I'm in an alternate universe.

@johncooney1 Good English you illiterate flop

@codein_07 @KeenosAFC Just ridiculous, honestly.

[il Tecnico @tecnico_il]

@KeenosAFC Welcome to Twitter in 2019. It's literally just Africans, posting absolute garbage in broken English on the bottom of every Football tweet.

Xhaka is a man for whom respect is everything.

He wants mutual respect if we're to move forward.

[il Tecnico @tecnico_il]

@Matt_Law_DT No, it was actually shocking so get your tongue out of his arse. Wright is as dumb as dog shit and his analysis missed the point as always. Showed a 30 second clip of Luiz holding the ball for far too long and then somehow concluded it was Xhaka low on confidence.

[il Tecnico @tecnico_il]

@maestro_bambino @Lacksathreat @JoeWritesftbl How you use him? Easy, you tell your centre backs to focus on defending and not trying to be play makers and you give Xhaka when building from the back. Let him dictate when to go forward, when to go back, when to go long, when to go short. That's what he's world class at.

[il Tecnico @tecnico_il]

@maestro_bambino @Lacksathreat @JoeWritesftbl He's been brilliant for 3 years, which is why every manager depends on him. You have to be able to analyse football to see his importance, something many aren't capable of. He won't loose any sleep though, Conte wanted him all summer and will be loving how this is playing out.

[il Tecnico @tecnico_il]

How can anyone watch this clip and come to the same conclusions that Wright did, honestly. Xhaka's entire game is receiving the ball in the position he's standing and progressing it forward. Three times he checks his shoulder, finds space and Luiz chooses to ignore it.

@ArsenalUltra49 @bhavss14 Hahaha you dumb prick

[il Tecnico @tecnico_il]

Will always have nothing but respect for Xhaka as an Arsenal player. A brilliant footballer who when played to his strengths, can dominate any opposition in the middle of the park. Arsenal simply do not deserve him, don't know what you've got until it's gone.

[il Tecnico @tecnico_il]

@maestro_bambino @Lacksathreat @JoeWritesftbl Anyone with half a football brain watches that video and counts 3 times in the first 20 seconds where Xhaka has opened up for a pass and is completely ignored. I agree that he should be sold, not because he's poor, but because we have no fucking idea how to use him.

[il Tecnico @tecnico_il]

@maestro_bambino @Lacksathreat @JoeWritesftbl Yes, I do. Ian is as dumb as dog shit and I can give you countless of examples of that. Michael Owen scored goals for Liverpool, does that mean he knows what he's talking about? Wright is a flop.

[il Tecnico @tecnico_il]

@Lacksathreat @JoeWritesftbl Ian Wright is an absolute fool. How does anyone watch that video and come to the same conclusions he did 😂 Xhaka needs the ball as soon as the defence wins it.

[il Tecnico @tecnico_il]

@Lacksathreat @JoeWritesftbl Luiz has absolutely killed Xhaka. Holds the ball far too long and it's completely and utterly dried him of possession.
