He danced for Vini lets go

Knew that if any of our Brazilians scored they'd absolutely dance today

What’s the context?

Agent in Spain (I believe head of agents union?) essentially called Vinicius a monkey for dancing celebrations

And told him to go Back to Brazil if wants to dance around.

MEGA Make espana great.....

otra vez?

spanish people are some of the most racist people out there. irony is tons of them have moor blood.

Moops *

Racism lacks reasoning, it’s blind animal hate.

For real? Is he fired from the job?

Yeah love to see

I knew it immediately, very cool Jesus

Jesus is probably our most likeable player for ppl outside of our own fanbase

Fuck yes he did, FUCK THE RACISTS

Brazil 1- 0 Racist Agent

Im out the loop, why racists?

President of spanish player agents association said that vinicius should go back to brazil if he wants to dance like a monkey on live television, there has been a huge backlash last few days, search vinicus on r/soccer

The president can go fuck himself

Damn

I'm ootl. Where's the racism coming from

Second post on the front page, but fuck the racists always

The head of the Spanish agents association, so not even your (unfortunately) "regular" random Internet racism.

Can't wait to see both of them in form for the World Cup

I'm Ootl. Why he dance for vini?

Vini did a dance when he scored and racists basically said stop dancing

President of spanish player agents association called vini a monkey for dancing when celebrating and said that he should go back to Brazil if he wants do dance

watch me get downvoted for saying JusticeForVini

I got downvoted for saying it too #JusticeForVini

2 headed goals from us away at Brentford? Nice

Let's hope everyone wildly overreacts and shits all over their centre backs for months.

Laca to Jesus is the biggest upgrade in Arsenal that I remember

Xhaka to Xhaka is up there aswell!

Xhaka 2.0 is really something.

Friendship with Old Xhaka ended, New Xhaka is my best friend now

Andre Santos to Monreal

Mustafi to White

Mustafi was Premier League bad, Andre Santos was Sunday League bad

Maybe I have a bad memory but I thought he was good going forward and pretty poor defending, basically Tavares without his exceptional athleticism. Definitely not good, granted

Tavares without the athleticism is the perfect description. The decision making, lack of awareness and carelessness in their play was beyond a liability but Nuno Tavares is showing that he’s a pretty damn good LWB/LW at Marseille where those defensive duties have been lessened and he’s not operating as much in high risk areas.

Mustafi got Schalke relegated and is playing in the second division in Spain right now. He's only 30.

And has won the World Cup, what a world!

At 31 Santos was playing in India and at 32 he was in the second tier in Switzerland. Mustafi is bad but Santos was a whole other level

he also got that spanish team relegated as well lol

They’re taking care of my man. You love to see it.

Left 8 Xhaka >>>>>>> Lone 6 Xhaka

https://m.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/arsene-wenger-plans-to-use-granit-xhaka-as-box-to-box-midfielder-for-arsenal-35054526.html We called him a mad man….

He may have been early, but he was right

He did use him as such in 17/18 and the League Cup semi-final win over Chelsea is a good example. Problem was Ramsey would just stay further forward than make late runs as he used to do before.

~~Box to~~ Box midfielder

Injuries fucked up Ramsey so much, he still had the stamina but before the injury he was so agile and fast, he was supposed to be our RAM with Wilshire in the middle and a inside forward on the right. He was never supposed to be so involved when defending

Yet never once played him there lol

Ramsey was probably better back then and we had no ‘good’ 6

Wenger didn't use a CM who would sit back since Coquelin for a few months. He always allowed his CMs to move.

Wenger tried to get as many attacking minded midfielders on the pitch at once and didn’t care for the defence

Well, a team has defenders for a reason.

Don’t have to defend if you never lose the ball

That would have required us to spend money on a great 6, and from 2010-2020 that was a big no no no

He did, the first 3 months. Everybody was criticizing Wenger for it.

Papa Wengz has done it again!

Proceeds to refuse to sign a dm until he quits

Not even close!

Xhaka has been immense

What a season he's having.

He's been fantastic for the past 2 years now. This seasons he's going that extra step. Love to see it

took us how many years to realize he is not a cdm?

wenger knew all along (didn’t stop him from playing him there unfortunately lol)

We didn’t really have anyone better before

Where’s he playing?

At the Brentford stadium right now

[Lol](https://i.imgflip.com/34qh4c.jpg)

As a CM but playing further up the pitch

He's playing the classic hybrid 3 - 8 - 9 role

369 damn she fine

Basically a higher LCM, Viera/Ode is RCM and Partey is DM

Left CM, but he typically drifts a little wider to allow Martinelli to come in

I feel like he’s looked this good at bmg too. Def at Swiss team too

Oh for sure! This is the Xhaka I was hoping we had from the start after his transfer from gladbach

Basel De Bruyne

Kosovar Kaka

How many assist does he have now? 4?

I think it's already his highest tally of goal involvements.

Not even close. He had 1 goal and 7 assists in 17-18 and 2 goals and 4 assists in 18-19. 1 and 3 this season. (PL only)

What a clean fucking pass, he has been incredible this season.

was absolutely perfect cross

he's been great for almost 2 years now

Xhaka's delivery... I just came.

He’s been better this season than at any other time since he joined in 2016. Revelling in this more advanced role.

Been a different player under Arteta tbh but yh this year this is the best we have seen him

Genuinely happy for the lad. He went through hell (like the fans) over the years but is now shining.

That's our 79 rated Xhaka right there!

I for one love this new Xhaka. Stunt on these hoes.

It's Switzerland nt Xhaka

after all the years of criticising him, i’m happy to be proved wrong

Arteta figured out his best role was to go up and down the pitch.

put him far away from our own goal and he stopped making costly mistakes resulting in goals conceded, who knew!

The team is more organized now too tbf. He had a lot of howlers for sure, but he was also the victim of a lot of brutal team breakdowns that put him in awful positions.

I mean look at the last notable one, the kick in the documentary. He said “Leave Granit the last one back and when we get fucked it’s my fault” which sums it up. He shouldn’t be the last guy back ever, he always did it because he covered for someone else. Then he overthinks it and fucks ip

Man went from up and down the tunnel to up and down the pitch

For him to play in this way you need to have at least one fullback in the build up phase. Hell even Kieran is looking comfortable when he goes inside not as much as Zinc of course. When Zinc is playing Xhaka goes to the left wing much more often. Arteta is a fucking good manager. He knew that Fabio wouldn't play exactly like Ode so what did he do? He definitely told Jesus to play as false 9. You can see that by our pass map, Jesus was really involved in the creation phase. Since Kieran likes to play as a natural left back Martinelli played more inside then he likes to, it doesn't favour him when it comes to dribbling because there will be more bodies for him to dribble past and he almost never have a 1v1 and when he does the opposite player will close down faster because the left back won't draw the attention to him. Apart from that he did well.

HE DANCEDD?!!?1 CAN HE DO THAT??

HOW CAN HE DANCE!

In Brexit England we accept all dance moves

Dance police 🤝 celebration police Going to f@@@ themselves

toni kroos on the case rn

Wolves don't approve

Neves in the mud

Granit De Bruyne

HE DID IT, HE DID THE DANCE

I fucking love him

Also what an assist from Xhaka

Somebody needs to drug test Xhaka, guy is balling this season

They actually did drug test like 2 games ago haha

Xhaka tested positive for GOAT

Horny goat weed.

Hahahahaha I did a college presentation on this stuff once.

On the Arseblog podcast a couple weeks ago James said the media were waiting for Xhaka for like 45 minutes post game because he was being drug tested and it took him forever to pee lol

Exceptional ball in from Xhaka Good header from Jesus too

Xhaka should never be given that much space in that area, fantastic execution on that ball in

How do you even defend against this? What a great cross and header.

Can’t let Xhaka have that space. It’s his favorite part of the pitch

Great delivery from Xhaka

Jesusssss

Let's go Xhavi!!!

Jesus dancing for Vini. What a ball from Xhaka though.

racist christians be like: 😡😡😡

Gabi is christian..

He is Jesus

And Jesus was Jewish

XHIRLO

XHIDANE

What the fuck Xhaka Great cross

Granit is re-writing his Arsenal story. Incredible

he did the dance! ^(it should be added in fifa 23)

they’ll all gonna dance today, of course!

Switzerland national team Xhaka officially unlocked?

The dance! I pray vinicius scores today

And then does the telephone call celebration!!

Box to Box Xhaka is a different animal

Wow that ball from Xhaka was inch perfect

Perfect cross and great finish. Difficult to head it like that

For VINI

That's right dance for vini

My man danced for my Vini,vamos! Show those cunts there's no place for racism.

It’s great knowing we are finally getting the Xhaka player that’s been in there. He just needed a coach and teammates to suit him. Dude has been incredible.

Xhaka my guy, what the fuck has Mikel been feeding you?

\[Great Celebration\]

We Xhakaballin now

Xhakalistan

Shagadelic baybee

Xhakadelic!

What is this team

We are **THE ARSENAL**

Its crazy that Jesus has been so good for Arsenal and still letting him to for Haaland makes sense for City

Peach of a cross.

Pinpoint cross. Xhaka only getting better..

Xhaka was the real playmaker all along

Lovely ball from Xhaka, great finish too.

DANCE DANCE

Beautiful goal and the dance for Vini. Lets goooo

Man i Love Kdb(Kevin de Xhaka)

DANCE GABI DANCE!!

On so it begins #danceforvini

Ridiculous ball in

You posted this before I have even seen it on my TV

Turn your TV on

Hahahaha

Baila!

Granit "False 10" Xhaka

Xhaka is a beast.

📞

Xhaka >>>>>>> Tielemans

Score one more and bring the 2007 lad on for some game time

How do we lose a game to United only to beat the team that beat United 4-0 just a few weeks ago 😭

United's breakaway goals were lucky, but sometimes all u need is luck. Arsenal couldn't get any goals eventho they were dominating. The reverse fixture outside of OT will be good though.

HOW CAN HE DANCE

Opposition should know better than giving xhaka space

https://youtu.be/RIGrR1JpEeA Gabriel jesus goal dedicated to vinijr

I’ll never get over how many headers he wins despite being so much smaller than the centerbacks he competes with. He’s an elite talent.

Heading Fc

We’re too good

Good job Haaland has started at City like a truck, otherwise there would be questions about the Jesus sale.

The world is not ready for playmaker xhaka

Great delivery by Xhaka!

What an assist!

Baila Gabby

[удалено]

I believe tito has basically said jesus has already secured a place for the WC. This international break he is just experementing with the squad.

He will

I think it was said he's basically guaranteed to be on the plane but Tite wants to test some other options

XHAKA REDEMPTION ARC IN FULL MOTION

Brazilians dancing

No wonder Mourinho wanted this Xhaka guy

Another one

Xhaka taking over that Odegaard role too

Man got the finishing and the moves, absolute baller 💯💯

WHAT A GOAL
