it took xhaka a season to click in the midfield. i maintain the position that there’s no point rushing for another replacement in the lcm position if we are just going to discard them every time they don’t replicate or surpass xhaka’s peak after two months.
not to mention the rhs was also a problem yesterday so it’s not the “one miracle signing to change our lives” situation football fans generally gravitate towards.
The problem was that we took a risk in signing Havertz, yes he needs time, but are we able to afford that? Who knows, we can’t really say that we’ll get the Leverkusen version of Havertz at Arsenal.
And Xhaka started to play better when Arteta tailor made a role for Xhaka that limited his deficiencies, it didn’t really have anything to do with Xhaka needing to acclimatize.
