Xhaka not happy with the early leavers


He was having a proper barney with Ballard on the pitch at one point.

Tbf there were the usual leavers on 80 mins, but when 8 mins added was announced it didn't look too bad around us. That said, I suppose there's usually a hoard by the gangways watching the final few mins and that was less evident today.

Maybe he should aim his frustrations at himself and the other players for the 3 home defeats in a row

You're gonna get that from a team that has just come out of the league below and has brought in a lot of new players, takes time to knit them together, and a team that has a decent number of starters out injured.

I've been going for a long time and it's always been the same at SAFC: loads can't wait to find fault.

It has got worse though since my early days, however. I blame "the progressives".

I don't think he's actually fully fit and I think the teller was the fact he didn't boot the very clear chance he had in. He must have known his foot wouldn't have been able to take the hit so had to pass it elsewhere.

As for early leavers. I agree with him tbh.

I noticed they turned off the TVs in the concourse at 80 minutes. Clearly to stop people leaving to watch it in there.

Aye, I noticed that when I nipped for a piss during a break in play. It ironically with the message:

“thank you for your support”

Not having a go or out just curious. But does the extra few minutes really make that much of a difference in the amount of time to get home? Surely can't be that significant can it?

Yeah it does. After the Fulham game it took an hour to get out the multi storey car park next to B&Q. I was out after first 3 minutes of extra time and got out the car park in less than 5 minutes.

I wasn't happy with his set pieces and lack of shots when through on goal.

When your talisman is having an off day, we're going to struggle.

Everything good we did came through him. He played well. Most of his set pieces were well taken too, they weren’t attacked well enough. Nothing wrong with the pass nobody expects Talbi to make such a bad touch. A good player turns inside and scores from that position.

Which is fair enough but he needs to understand the fans here respond to effort. Theres a big difference in that between now and early season.

Don’t agree. Apart from the Port Vale game aI think the effort is still there, they’ve just lacked quality, especially in the final third
 
Said he wants to come here to go through hard times but he can’t seem to hack it during the hard times and lashes out at the fans
 
If he is off it will be to coach
Doubt he will get any premier offers unless it’s a new promoted team
He’s 35 next season
