Granit Xhaka named Arsenal’s best player of 2021 (so far)

-

Granit Xhaka has been named as Arsenal’s best player of 2021 so far by the CIES Football Observatory, who developed a unique methodology to determine who performed best irrespective of position. Interestingly, Granit Xhaka was overlooked by his club for the January Player of the Month award, included in February’s listing and then omitted from the running for the March gong. So where has this come from? The CIES Football Observatory specialise in this sort of thing, even if some of the results sometimes can be fairly controversial as they don’t conform to most fans’ viewpoints – Thiago was the highest ranked at Liverpool, for example . As stated by the CIES, they use an algorithm based off of almost every facet of the sport. You name it, they use it. “Several stages are necessary to analyse the technical performance of players in a pertinent manner.” And, interestingly, that has resulted in Xhaka top scoring in 2021 for Arsenal with an 80.9/100 overall score. He’s ranked seventh in the...

TONY ADAMS CLAIMS MARTINEZ TRANSFER DECISION IS BADLY AFFECTING ONE ARSENAL PLAYER NOW

 The Arsenal legend made the comments about the Germany international goalkeeper following his performance against Liverpool at the Emirates Stadium in the Premier League at the weekend. The 29-year-old has made mistakes in recent weeks, and he also committed an error – maybe two? – in the 3-0 defeat to Liverpool in North London. Adams has said that Arsenal should not have sold Martinez to Aston Villa in the summer of 2020 for a transfer fee reported by The Guardian to be worth £20 million and should have kept him instead to ease the burden on Leno. The Englishman said about Leno on Stadium Astro, as transcribed by Metro: “We’ve only got Leno, we’re going to play him every single match now until the end of the season and he’s already for me a little bit burnt out “He could’ve really done with a rest and just played the Europa League stage. I wanted them [Leno and Martinez] to fight for the No.1.”. Strange claim Leno has not been exactly great for Arsenal so far this season, but it ...

Knee surgery set to keep Arsenal star out of action for a month

 David Luiz will be a part of Arsenal’s last games of the season despite undergoing knee surgery recently. He had to undergo the procedure at the weekend and surgeries normally rule players out for a long time. The Gunners will play at least 10 more competitive games this season, depending on how far they go in the Europa League and he had been expected to miss those matches. Luiz has been an important part of their team this season with Mikel Arteta trusting the Brazilian to lead his players from the back. He is now expected to be without the former Chelsea defender for the next four weeks. Mail Sport, however, confirms that he will still play some role in Arsenal’s campaign before it ends. Luiz has been plagued by mistakes all his career, but on his day, the Brazilian is one of the best defenders that the Gunners have. In his absence, the likes of Gabriel Magalhaes and Pablo Mari will have to step up. His return to the field before this season ends will also boost his chance of e...
