What does Xhaka really add to the team? I have watched the guy since he has been here and I can’t point to a single game where he stood out. What strengths does he bring to the team? May be his once in a while long ranging passes when is is given time, space and not peessured.
He seems to be slow, lacks concentration at times, can’t defend, can’t control games etc..
Didn't I just say he's good at moving the ball out from defense to attack? It's not just his long balls. It's the accuracy and weigh of his passes that made him a starter for so many games. Without him, we have a problem with distribution and transition from back to front
