Sheffield United 1-0 Arsenal: 5 Hits and Flops from the game | Premier League 2019-20 

#2 Flop: Granit Xhaka

Granit Xhaka cuts a frustrated figure after yet another dismal display

Not for the first time, Granit Xhaka blew hot and cold in the middle of the park during Arsenal's 1-0 defeat.

He's got a stunning eye for goal, yes, as portrayed in the fierce long-distance strike. But otherwise, Xhaka is extremely careless and reckless while defending. On the ball, he wasn't as productive or incisive, as a packed Sheffield defense disallowed any crafty passes.

On the other end, Xhaka was involved in a couple of clumsy challenges, besides also paying the price for losing possession at key junctures.

What's horrendously unacceptable is his lack of awareness in the middle. Repeatedly, the likes of John Fleck and Oliver Norwood were allowed to run through his lines, get past in between and dictate the pace of play.

As far as the midfield battle is concerned too, the Swiss failed to keep pace or inspire his side to recoveries.
