Francis Coquelin

Thanks god!

Weā€™re pretty blessed. I like Xhaka, Coq, Elneny and Cazorla, canā€™t say Iā€™d have any problem with any combination other than Coquelin + Elneny.

Heā€™s now recovered but short of match fitness!

great news!

I think heā€™s passing and vision have greatly improved after the past 12 months or so. He does pick out some sublime passes at times. Just needs a bit more consistency and learn how to control the tempo a bit more I think.

Great news that itā€™s not a severe layoff. Depth wins leagues.

From 6 months to 3 months to 1 month to 3 weeks to 10 days.

Heā€™s available for tomorrowā€™s game. Great news :slight_smile:

Iā€™d have him on the bench, and still with the Cazorla/ Granit partnership for swansea at home.

I saw Xhaka recovering the ball a lot though (maybe more through interception), what were his stats?

Most tackles and he was on the pitch for 20 minutes :sweat_smile: Iā€™m glad heā€™s back in the squad now I feel so much more assured when heā€™s playing.

10 recoveries, 5 interceptions.

Yeah, I was going to say, I saw him winning the ball back over and over again.

So are recoveries and tackles classified differently? If 5 were interceptions than the other 5 would be tackles, no?

No, apparently he had only 2 tackles and I have no idea of what are the one that arenā€™t tackle or interceptions.

Interceptions, tackles & loose balls.

This bloke was the main reason we held on to the 3 points in the end.
