#ARSEVE: Four things we noticed

"I'm very, very happy to be back playing for this club." So said Granit Xhaka in his Close Up interview with Arsenal Digital this month. His joy has been reflected in his performances, and Sunday was no different. Xhaka has become a facilitator for our left back to effectively become a fifth attacker when we go forward, and once again the Swiss provided the insurance policy for Saka to be adventurous. Notably it Xhaka who claimed the pre-assist for Nketiah's equaliser, but so pivotal is our former captain that he also ended the game with the most passes overall, the most passes in the opposition half and the most possessions gained.
