We’ve seen Granit Xhaka deployed in a variety of positions this season - and he continued at centre half in Wednesday’s Carabao Cup defeat to Tottenham
In Unai Emery’s post-match press conference, our head coach explained why Xhaka was deployed at the back, and reflected on an evening where we were made to rue missed chances.
on the result…
Good evening. I think we worked like we wanted to, like we’d prepared for this match. We created chances in the first half to score, but today the efficiency was not good for us. We didn’t concede a lot of chances, but they have good players with quality who scored.
