I bloody hope you are right, but instead I see a reinforcement of our tip, tap routine. More accuracy left, more accuracy right, more accuracy with the aim of retention. Just as he was played by the Swiss. He's a very good player but I fear we bought him to become the most boring player on the planet.
    Xhaka has a beast passing range. It's his greatest gift. I doubt Wenger bought him to stifle that. If he has, then he is an idiot.

    But none of that has to do with Alexis constantly chasing the ball. That's just his game.

    Perhaps but Xhaka is very good at finding people from long passes from deep, he is a bit of a vicious cunt and has Coquelins ability to break up opposistion play he's just better on the ball, so that you don't have to have another midfielder who drops deep like Cazorla did when he partnered Le coq.

    If it works who knows, but that appears to be l'ouisseaus thinking that a player like Xhaka is better at turning defence into attack quicker.

    That's been the case since he was at Udinese. He is an old school #10 in his mindset, but has a center forwards frame and skill set.

    We bought Xhaka to play penetrative balls from deep between the seams of a formation. He can do that.
    You may have missed the one game Sanchez played up front for us during a pre season. He was making good runs behind but the service wasn't there. If he plays up front again today we'll see what happens.

    Must be having his head tested for joining up with maureen. Players will have taken note on how Schweinsteiger has been treated. Such an arrogant fuck is our maureen.

    One game preseason game? Of course I missed it lol

    That matters more than the 100+ games he has played with us since? He is not a patient player and is kinda thick. He has that freedom now to make runs behind defenses and doesn't.

    FTR, I think Alexis mastering CF makes him a POY contender. I have always felt that but Alexis wants the football too much and lacks patience.

    I hope I am wrong and he does become a CF.

    It's the one game where he played as a striker. I'm not talking about the 100+ games he played as a winger. Hence, why I think he may adjust his game as a striker and be more patient.

    It'll be a few weeks at most before he begins to put the blame on someone United fans actually care about, or before he pisses off a player with some influence in the squad.

    I still can't see how United's squad isn't completely unbalanced nor full of egos who want to place in the same space, but then I'm sure they'll bore their way to 1 goal wins every weekend as well.

    Alexis plays high up the pitch now. He plays wide but it's not in the same vein as Overmars.

    Alexis likes to drop back and create. I hope I'm wrong but making him a CF won't change his mindset.

    If he plays today against City up front today then watch him. I was wrong about it being a pre season, he had a few games up front during the season. Early when he first started. CL qualification and against Everton I think. I'm going off what I saw and he doesn't play like how he does on the wing when up front.
