Exactly. No one would be saying he had a great game if the match ends 1 minute earlier.
Speak for yourself. My view is Xhaka had an awful first 15 minutes, grew into it in the first half, then was really, really good in the second. Especially whe we were pushing to find the equaliser and then winner.
Yeah, have to say, much as I dislike the guy, he had a oretty good game, especially in the second half. But then again I liked most if what I saw that second half, even without the goals because we really pinned them back, limited them having any possession and could have scored a number of goals were it not for missed chances and blocked shots.
This is what I mean by the way when I say that whu'st results are important, more imoortant for me is the level of performance we show regardless of whether the fine margins went our way rather than against.
Being able to move the ball quickly, between the lines and with the players showing for the ball and maling runs to help the ball carrier is what I want to see more of. If Arteta cam get the team to keep this style of play up then I can see this team doing some special stuff.
