4.5. How many poor passes do you want your primary deep-lying distributor to play? Granit Xhaka already has flaws in other areas of his game, especially athletically and defensively, so when his passing also deteriorates, what value does he actually provide? Xhaka gave the ball away for Leicester’s second goal, made several other terrible passes in deep positions, and was only marginally redeemed by a decent but slightly fortunate cross for Aaron Ramsey’s goal.. CM. Arsenal. GRANIT XHAKA

5.0. Needs to stop playing backwards and sideways. He started the game confidently, splitting the Leicester lines with some smart passes into advanced teammates. Then he started to revert to his normal self. Did little to progress play, slowed down the passing moves, and was nothing more than a limited presence.. CM. Arsenal. MOHAMED ELNENY
