Nicolas Pepe's red card for a head butt on Ezgjan Alioski was all the talk after Arsenal's goalless draw vs Leeds; however, somewhat lost in all of that was Kieran Tierney reaction to it after the match.
That's because the cameras didn't show the sequence in its entirety. You could see Granit Xhaka talking to Alioski after the whistle in what looked like fraternisation and then pushing away an incensed Kieran Tierney.
We are not sure what business Xhaka had with Alioski and our fans are at a loss either.
Arsenal Mania
The_playmaker: "You realise that Tierney just went to have a word with Alioski and tell him he was a prick and made the most of a situation. Xhaka putting his arm around him literally had Tierney confused. Even when Tierney was walking away, he wasn't going back for Alioski, he was going back for Xhaka. No doubt it continued into the changing room with Tierney probably saying ti Xhaka wtf are you doing. Tierney was 100% spot on in this situation."
Ernie Eskilsson: "Xhaka was on the wrong side at the end, he is nothing like a leader and should have been gone long ago. Can you imagine Adams or Keown consoling Alioski and pushing Tierney away? Not in a million years..."
Blood On The Tracks: "If we could transplant KT's mentality and drive into the rest of our squad we'd be onto something. I though he was excellent today, but even when he has an off day or is played out of position you can't really slag him off as you know he's given it 100% "I've rarely taken to an Arsenal player as quickly as I have to him. Should be held up as a role model for the kids coming through the academy too, in terms of the way he approaches the game."
Natsu005: "Tierney reminds me of Jack Wilshere in regards to the attitude towards defending our players and having their backs. Love this guy."
Fang_fluff: "Soul of a lion. Always has been like this. I miss him at Celtic but he definitely needed a move to progress and was buzzing he came to my prem team."
Inane_in_the_membran: "At least he f**king cares. Tierney is the future of this team."
Mindebris: At least someone had the balls to call Alioski for the f**kface that he is."
Danmac0817: "My only concern when KT left Celtic for Arsenal was that he'd be softened up, I'm glad he's showing no sign of that and carrying that attitude and mentality forward. More of our players need that."
