Xhaka is now the worst midfielder in the world now, didn’t you know?Since when am I a "Xhaka fan"? I'm a fan of good players, and he clearly is one.
What does he do? Well, he keeps possession well, has a killer final pass, not bad in the tackle, decent in the air, has a rocket long shot and can take a decent freekick. Although I agree he isn't the most mobile he isn't a slouch either, he's just of average pace for a PL midfielder.
He's a typical DLP in that he needs someone alongside him in the mould of a Torreira and will get bypassed on his own, but the same could be said about Xabi Alonso FFS. Why do you think that great midfield of Alonso/Gerrard/Mascherano had Mascherano alongside him?
We now ignore the fact that his main issue is the occasional lapse in concentration and now act like he’s an absolute liability for every second that he’s on the pitch.
