Arsenal fans react to Granit Xhaka performance v Northern Ireland
By Laura O’Leary
Arsenal fans were not impressed by Granit Xhaka’s performance for Switzerland against Northern Ireland, and did not hold back on social media.
The defensive midfielder helped his side hold Northern Ireland to a 0-0 draw in the second leg of their World Cup qualifier which booked their passage to Russia next summer.
However, fans were not impressed and one went as far as saying he could be “the worst player Wenger has ever signed”.
Another said he wouldn’t have minded him picking up a knock if it mean that Jack Wilshere started ahead of him against Tottenham.
Here are some of the best reaction’s to Xhaka’s performance on Sunday afternoon…
Xhaka to me looks like a typical Wenger signing

I wouldn’t mind Xhaka picking up a knock here if it meant Wilshere starting the NLD on Saturday ???? #AFC
