Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Former Tottenham star, Darren Bent, has slammed Granit Xhaka after the midfielder launched a verbal attack on his team-mates following their 2-0 defeat at Newcastle United on Monday night<\/p>\n

The 29-year-old clearly showed his frustration after Arsenal suffered their second Premier League loss on the bounce at St James\u2019s Park.<\/p>\n

After a 3-0 defeat to Tottenham last Thursday, the Gunners followed up with a 2-0 loss to Newcastle and fell two points behind Spurs in the race for a Champions League spot.<\/p>\n

Speaking after the match, the Swiss star suggested his side lacked courage and told those who were nervous they should have \u2018stayed at home.\u2019<\/p>\n

However, Bent thinks the Switzerland international\u2019s comments were out of order and may cause damage in the Arsenal dressing room<\/p>\n

Speaking to talkSPORT, he said: \u201cMaybe it\u2019s because it\u2019s Xhaka and maybe that\u2019s a bit unfair because, at times, he\u2019s let Arsenal down.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven this season, red cards silly mistakes. If he\u2019s talking solely about last night, I can understand it.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut from the dressing room perspective, I can imagine players who have performed more consistently than he has, looking at him thinking, \u2018The cheek for you to come out and say that after some of the performances you\u2019ve put in!\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you hear him speak, he looks like a really good guy. But there will be players in the dressing room thinking, \u201cHold on a second \u2013 you\u2019re digging us out? Look at yourself over the last few seasons, you\u2019ve let us down and you\u2019re supposed to be one of the senior players!\u201d\u2018<\/p>\n
