By all accounts was a disaster at Inter for 2 seasons.
Granit Xhaka (29)
Haha I remember this sticker scam from the 80s, I had no idea in the world of interwebz it was still around. Itâs almost like Granit is proud heâs on a sticker
Heâs looking more commanding of late and is putting himself about like he did in his early days with us. Needs to keep that mentality now. Donât wanna see the lost puppy Xhaka ever again.
Was brilliant.
Think heâs been told to completely discipline his game and its paying dividends.
If you just let him play his game he is fine with it. He just doesnât have to push forward.
Another team that took the wrong approach with us, and him in general. No pressing and allowed Xhaka way too much time. Iâm not a fan of this guy but I will admit he is a great passer when allowed to just sit there and pick out targets.
I like how he frustrates opponents by going down cleverly in tight areas, winning free-kicks. I hate it when opponent does it to us, but itâs a such a handy trait to have.
Arteta was class at this too.
In general whenever he found himself in a bad situation what he didnât have in technique and Cazorlaness with the ball he made up with in getting a whistle guile.
And then people say a bit of gamesmanship and intelligence conning the referee is immoral and all that! The English sure love to hate on being clever!
