Xhaka - 3 - Game totally passed him by. Often he is the player with most touches (100 odd), yesterday he had 36 touches - the same as Pepe who was sent off after 50 minutes. Did not get close to the Leeds midfield (Phillips had 106 touches).

Wow. That’s ridiculous

He was just totally lost. Not sure if he was hiding or just didn't know what he was doing.

Been a leeds fan i don't think there is anything there which immediately stands out as something id disagree with.

For the life of me I can't understand why two of your players allowed Alioski to get into their heads as much as they did.

Bellerin 5
Gabriel 6
Tierney 7
Xhaka 5
Dani Ceballos 6
Pepe 6
Auba 3
Nelson 5
Saka 7

If Pepe hadn't been sent off would you have given him and 8 or a 9?

Yup...he was one of the better players for us imo until he did his moronic antic which has nothing to do with his performance.

So if he hadn't got sent off what rating would you give him

Our youngster Reiss and especially Saka gave the game another turn in our favour. With the introduction of both there were a different approach in our game. Think Reiss deserve a bit better than you gave him.

We all thought things were bad back then.
Never mind the invincible, I would love just to be playing like we used to in 16-17.
The football on show is just horrific at the moment.

Just saw 2 pretty horrific stats that basically sum us up at the moment

Xhaka completed zero passes to willock, and just 3 to ceballos. The player with the most completed passes to aubameyang was Leno.

How the feck have we got to a state where we produce stats like that!? Doesn’t matter how secure we are at the back, or who we play in attack, if we play like that we’ll be no better than a mid table team.

Tbf Xhaka barely completed a pass to anyone. Bet most were to Tierney and Gabriel?

I do think the lack of movement is a contributing factor, as said about Willock in the article. But then is the lack of runs because they don't think the pass will come and they are wasting their time?

Need to get Luiz in as a QB if we want forward passing I guess ...

Yeah most of his passes were to tiereny. Ceballos wasn’t much better with supplying the forwards, he passed 6 times to Pepe, 2 to auba, 2 to Willian, 1 to saka and 1 to willock.

Yeah it’s a combination of the both lack of forward passes and movement, you do see our forwards make runs though and get ignored, seems unless it’s a fall back run from deeper, our midfielders won’t make the pass. But the forwards do need to make them more, can even just help move defence around, even if pass doesn’t come.

Pretty much any attacking stat is horrific at the moment, so hard to blame one thing. The whole system needs a massive readjustment in that area. Think partey will help with some of it, but still loads of work to do to fix it, on and off the pitch
