Sometimes the talent wins out, other times we blow our own feet off with both barrels. It won't change for as long as we have a guy who doesn't care about that stuff in charge.
We had sloppy moments and players need a good kick up the backside. However, Xhaka is someone I have no hope for. It's not just sloppy play, it's a lack of quality too. He's so one footed that he can't use his right foot at all. Even the stupid foul he committed was down to him having to use his left foot to lunge in across the player instead of trying to win the ball with his right foot which would have seen him make more contact with the ball instead of the going right through the player.

He's slow, not mobile, can't tackle, questionable decision making, heavy feet....looks more and more like a dud signing.
