Something is really wrong with you today. I've already said it could be down to bad form or fatigue but you're not paying attention and going from one rant to another. Maybe he's not that good in the first place and can't pass well under pressure. All the highlight reel Youtube clips going around during the summer were all of him with loads of space to make the pass.


This is what I was referring to.

Who are the key culprits with these heavy touches and poor passes? Why hasn't the manager got rid of them if they are constantly leading the team to 'lack little bit sharpness' and not move the ball quickly enough? Why does he keep playing them? Why does he buy them in the first place? Like a mechanic who puts all the wrong parts in an engine so it won't drive the car. Fucking parts! Useless. Let's order more of them and see if that fixes the problem.
The key culprits are major signings like Xhaka. Ozil falls into that equation with the way he's played and not turned up recently. Cech also with the way he's been beaten on the near post. Kos included for letting his head drop when we concede. He has no leadership skills. Mustafi, Monreal.... There are plenty that make mistakes that they shouldn't make and it's down to the mentality more than ability.
