<\/p>\nNoble said this while reacting to Xhaka\u2019s confrontation with the Gunners fans.<\/p>\n
DAILY POST recalls that Xhaka was taken off by manager, Unai Emery during Arsenal\u2019s 2-2 draw against Crystal Palace in the Premier League last weekend, and he threw the captain\u2019s armband to the floor, hurling insults at his own fans after they had ironically cheered his substitution before he marched straight down the tunnel.<\/p>\n
The Switzerland midfielder, however, released a statement on Thursday explaining, rather than apologising for his actions.<\/p>\n
\u201cGranit has taken a lot of flak for his reaction,\u201d Noble told the Standard.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut I did have some sympathy for him.<\/p>\n
\u201cI know what it\u2019s like when things are not going as well as you would like because, if you\u2019re a manager or a captain, fans tend to aim more criticism at you.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a tough one and a fine line because you\u2019re trying your best, but if you\u2019re booed by your fans it is inevitable that your confidence will take a hit. I\u2019ve had it myself, but the bottom line is that everything changes with results.<\/p>\n
\u201cObviously, Granit has made mistakes and sometimes his discipline may not be the best, but the way I\u2019ve always seen it is that the fans pay their hard-earned money, they go to the games and they have a right to express their opinion.\u201d<\/p>\n
Noble added, \u201cIn all honesty, the best solution might be to tell his agent, \u2018Look, they don\u2019t like me here, so maybe it\u2019s best if I go and play somewhere else.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere would be a lot of takers for him because he is a quality player and it does seem, from the outside, that his fellow players love him, both as a professional and a person. If I was him I would say, \u2018I\u2019ve had a great time here, but it\u2019s not worked out recently and it\u2019s time for a new challenge\u2019.<\/p>\n
\u201cI remember Slaven Bilic telling me, \u2018Once the box is open, it never closes\u2019. The chances are that, if he makes one bad pass in the next match in which he plays, they\u2019ll be on him again.\u201d<\/p>\n
