Well he did play in midfield last weekend, though it was a weird hybrid role (not a fan of that kind of thing tbh, and think it cause more confusion than necessary). Manberg has been pretty open about how well the midfield performed today in fact.Of course. It’s still early days but it’s a damning indictment for Xhaka. I think he’s been poor this season and he needs a kick up the bum. I told you, those Liverpool games really made Arteta look at him differently. He got benched for Sheffield and then Arteta has deliberately moved him out of midfield in other games. But I still value him as a squad player. He can start EL and Cup games imo.
I’m being hyperbolic because I want to annoy Erliss, YeahBee and Manberg out of hiding.
Midfield is about partnerships, and the players who can work together the best should be first choice. We've heard reports Partey was scouted to play alongside Xhaka but if it turns out him an Elneny work better together then so be it.
