I'm convinced our problems lie in central midfield. We have not found the right combo that can switch us quickly from defense to attack. It's the only explanation for us having all this possession and yet struggling to score away from home. All we do is pass the ball sideways around the half way line with no penetration and the minute we lose the ball we are susepctible to the counter attack.
While Xhaka is a creative player with a good passing range he is rather one dimensional. Whoever he is partnered with seems lacking. Wilshere, Ramsey, Elneny, Wilock have all struggled with him. Either we sell Xhaka or find the right CM to partner with him. Till then it doesn't matter how many strikers we buy.
