A little mean of me, but I thought this summed him up last night. He was too slow in every respect.
Neymar absolutely murdered him one on one too. There's another video going around where he just goes past, and Xhaka pulls his shirt so hard that it stretches to maximum elastic capacity and then pulls Neymar backwards like a rubber band.
Those two are top tier though. It's not like we're facing players like that every week. Regarding Xhaka, I thought he had a really bad first half against Brazil, but kudos to him, he improved a lot in the second half. Not a great performance by any stretch, but he came out after half time and worked hard to close down spaces he had just been clowning around in for the first 45 minutes.
