Arsenal held on to get a draw in the first leg fixture against Liverpool however after the game the fans turned their attention to Xhaka.

It was the sixth red card of Xhaka's career and the Arsenal fans expressed their frustrations on social media.

According to most of the fans, Xhaka should be discarded from the team with immediate effect.
