Alexandre Lacazette has ‘liked’ a foul-mouthed Instagram post criticising both Unai Emery and Granit Xhaka following Arsenal’s draw with Crystal Palace.
Pressure is mounting on Emery after his side threw away a two-goal lead against Palace on Sunday and Xhaka was also the subject of intense cristicim after he appeared to tell fans to “f**k off” in a shocking outburst.
“I’m sorry, I’m done with this now. You can’t be 2-0 up at home to palace and draw. Emery I’ve backed you but bro, enough is enough. Xhaka can f*ck himself as well. Never wanna see him in an arsenal top again!! #AFC #EmiratesStadium #TimesUp.”
Fans have vented their anger at Emery and Xhaka, including Arsenal Fan TV regular Troopz who posted a picture of himself gesturing towards the camera inside the Emirates accompanied with a scathing caption.

His controversial post racked up over 30,000 likes including a like from Lacazette.
“He was wrong, He was wrong,” he said following the league match.
“Now we need to stay calm and speak with him, to speak inside about that reaction. His reaction was wrong in that moment.
“We are here because we have supporters. We are the workers inside, but we play for them. We need to have a lot of respect from them, through applause and criticism.”
Asked whether the Swiss midfielder will remain captain, Emery responded: “It’s not the moment to speak about that (if Xhaka will stay as captain). First, I want to speak with him and the club, and we want to stay calm before we speak about that. He was not right to do that.”
