Xhaka, who I like, or at least I like the Xhaka who plays for the Swiss national squad, has shown to be in way
over his head in the premiership...
of course he showed late in the year that he can stretch the field with the long ball but our squad isn't really set - up for that style
of play... most
of his long passes are in the air not on the ground and our squad without Giroud, which should have been sold the minute the transfer window officially opened, is one
of the smallest in England... we need someone who can pick out the runs
of our forwards in the lanes and who is fast enough to come forward into space without conceding his defensive responsibilities... we rarely see him shoot or
even be in a position on the field to do so, we rarely, if ever, see him used for set pieces and it appears that the only person at the club who has ever coached him up when it comes to tackling is Coq, which explains his atrocious disciplinary record... maybe it's me but didn't you see him coming in and contributing more from an offensive perspective, with his
killer left foot, than a deep - lying midfielder... if that wasn't the case we are the stupidest team alive for taking him
over Kante
