This, combined with Havertz who isn’t as good as Xhaka either when it comes to progressive passes, is probably the biggest reason why our attack hasn’t been as good this year. It has more to do with midfield balance than our frontline.

Progressive passes don't mean shit against a low block.

Not sure why people keep bringing this up.

Because it means they can still scapegoat Havertz and act like they didn’t want Xhaka out for 5 years

It can mean that you don't give them time to set up during transition
