Gary Neville sparks Twitter into life by claiming Granit Xhaka only has most touches of any Arsenal player because he can’t control the ball
Fans loved Sky Sports analysts' views after Martin Tyler revealed surprise statistic during commentary of West Brom clash
TWITTER piled in on Granit Xhaka after Gary Neville dismissed the statistic about the Arsenal man having had the most touches of any Arsenal player this season.
Sky Sports commentator Martin Tyler revealed the stat during commentary of the Gunners' clash at West Brom.
But a shocked Neville replied that if that stat had been about mistimed tackles, he would have believed it.
Before adding it was probably because he because "he takes four touches when he should be taking one" — suggesting he struggles to control the ball.
Xhaka has drawn a mixed — at best — response from Arsenal fans since joining last summer.
He is a regular in the referee's notepad, but can contribute the odd screamer.
However, few have really been able to put their finger on exactly what his best attributes are.
And, after Neville made it clear he is not a fan of the former Borussia Monchengladbach man, Twitter did what it does best.
Here are a selection of the best responses.
