Danny Murphy says Arsenal's Granit Xhaka is being played in the wrong position

That's the claim of ex-pro Danny Murphy.

Xhaka saw red against Burnley yesterday as Arsenal bagged a dramatic late win.

It was his second Premier League dismissal of the season - meaning he'll miss the club's next FOUR top flight matches.

But Murphy has some sympathy - because he thinks the £30m Swiss star isn't being used properly.

"I feel a little bit for him, because I think he's not being played in the right position," he told Match of the Day 2.

"He's playing the holding role for Arsenal where he ends up getting isolated because of the way they play.

"I think his strengths are his passing and shooting which are much better served higher up the pitch.

"When he plays in this role he gets isolated - he's becoming a liability.

"He gets himself in all sorts of bother because of his lack of athleticism.

"This technique for trying to tackle is silly - it's like a scissor.

"He keeps getting himself in these predicaments.

"He will end up not playing, because the other players will get sick of it.

"So many times this season he's cost them.

"This incident is a no-brainer for the referee - he's left the floor, he's caught him.

"He's getting himself to a point where Arsene Wenger will have to drop him."
