Why does xhaka start every game while we're getting rid of both ramsey and ozil?
Madness.

Completely different player to Ramsey/ Ozil. Our best midfield is still Xhaka/ Torreira with Mkhi, Ramsey, and/ or Ozil ahead of them. Bigger issue for me is why we are trying to break down a team like West Ham without a single attacking midfielder. We passed it around at the back for over an hour before Ramsey came on. It was quite a shocking performance from the manager IMO.

Rather worryingly, the manager must think he is the best player we have for that position. scary thought.

Without being funny Wire mate what sort of player is Xhaka?
I'm still not sure what he's supposed to be, his passing is poor as often as not and he gives the ball away in awful positions, he can't tackle or head a ball and as far as midfielders go I'm struggling to see what sort of player he is apart from the odd long range shot or pass that comes off of course.

Pellegrini outcoached Emery w/ o a doubt. He has also managed to turn what was a directionless team under Slaven into a solid outfit. Emery has us conceding more goals - go figure.

G62 Xhaka is a distributor. He is very good in that role until he makes a sloppy mistake, which he does basically once a game when he is not partnered with Torreira. When he plays with Torreira he is a totally different player because he is freed from last man duties that Lucas picks up.
