Got to cure that backpassing BS if we want to go from relying on complex moments of individual brilliance getting us goals. The backpassing slows everything down and puts more pressure on a defence that is improving. Why would we make their job harder? Get the ball forward quicker and Xhaka needs to sort out his sloppy passing in the middle which breaks momentum and again heaps the pressure on. It won't be these games against the better teams that define the season, it'll be about doing more against the mid table and lower opponents where we won't be able to sit back in numbers and will be expected to create and control the game.

Please don’t sell AMN, you twats.

It's AMN and his agent pushing for the move because he wants to play regularly. And maybe because he still wants to play in midfield.

Get rid then. It's super important to get a settled eleven and much better if that's eleven team players rather than individuals. Trouble is, football is more about the money than anything else now, so I wonder how simple it is to even find eleven team players these days.

I think it’s a confidence thing with AMN and Emi - I don’t doubt either player’s commitment when they pull on the shirt or their love for the club, but on some level I don’t think they’re letting themselves believe that they can keep their places as first choice players, and because they don’t have that confidence they’re probably looking at this as the best chance they’ll ever have to secure good moves, hot on the heels of two trophies and good runs of individual form.

Both of them need to have a little more faith in themselves, IMO - if they keep playing like this then they keep their places, it’s that simple. And someone needs to explain to them that that fear of losing their places is exactly the attitude we want from everyone at the club - if anything it gives you an edge.

Yay, I guess
