Xhaka ducking out of the way of the ball in the first game since being named as the club captain typifies the club at present. Arsenal lack backbone and are far too easy to score against.
They lack leaders throughout the team and always look susceptible to giving the ball away when playing out from the back. It is also clear to see that Alexandre Lacazette is a huge miss for Arsenal, as they struggle to create chances going forward – with Aubameyang often left isolated up front and being starved of service.
