Xhaka not happy with the early leavers

On the subject of fans though I do think ours are the most fickle bunch going. The way some went after Le Fee for that missed penalty when the lad hadn't put a foot wrong prior to that sickened me tbh and today there was a canny few around me who booed Luke coming on.

Its embarrassing because had Luke scored today the same pricks would have been jumpin up and down celebrating.
 

If I went to see a film and it was shite, I’d leave before the end.

Same with bands / comedians / theatre shows etc.

What’s the difference here?

You’ll be home by half time .

You obviously don’t understand crowd dynamics. Why do you think that home teams have an advantage? Toss pots like you
f***ing off early remove that advantage.

Why don’t you let those in the waiting list have your ticket as you clearly can’t be arsed

Bless ya,

Look daft lad, you obviously do struggle with the English language as has been mentioned.

Don't you go worrying about me, or my matchday routine, however, if you tell me where you sit? At the next home game, if I "decide" to leave early, I can flick a salute at you :)

A fair few in our section were booing when O'Nien came on and Hume looked over unimpressed at what they were doing

Hes clearly not fit and playing because he has to. He dropped out as soon as the afcon lads were back, its no surprise.

Meanwhile theres pockets of empty seats all over despite being a sell out and fans raging on social media and walking out early.

Its pathetic how this season has started to be received

The Afcon lads may as well have stayed in Morocco. 1 left the club, 2 missing games through injury and 3 playing nowhere near the level required.
 
He showed some frustration early in the season and I think it's worth paying attention to. The players were the reason we lost today and not the fans. But Xhaka is an intelligent man who's played for a few winning clubs now and if he thinks we need to improve then why not?

What is wrong with asking more of our supporters? Sport is about fine margins and nobody can tell me that having half of the ground pour out when we're 1 goal behind is going to help us apply pressure in stoppage time. We can't call ourselves the 12th man when we win and at the same time, not acceptable that leaving early doesn't have the equal opposite effect.

That's so f***ing poor that. It's been terrible since we went on a bad run with the fair weathers coming back. Lad behind me was going on ridiculous as soon as we conceded. I turned and said to him I've seen us beat off much worse teams than this in the last 6 years. He didn't seem to know what I was on about, so clearly wasn't there.

This is it, I don't think alot of these who came back once we hit the premier league know what we've been through.

i thought the fans were really supportive. in the warm up to the Everton match the supporters were all singing his name and really getting behind him.

Nothing. Both things can be demanded. I want a winning structure at the club from top to bottom. If Xhaka is frustrated at the fans, it may be because he thinks we aren't pulling our weight. We may at times think that the players aren't pulling theirs. Nothing wrong with us all striving to have the maximum positive impact.
 
He’s a winner. He bought into this and now he watches our fans repeatedly bugger off before the end of the game. Every single week. I wouldn’t blame him in the slightest if he thought ‘what am I doing here’?

It’s a huge symptomatic problem at this club.
