We miss Xhaka much more than I think most people would have guessed.

He was absolutely sensational last season, and is such a rare profile to replace. Havertz has much larger boots to fill than Xhakas reputation suggests.

Also, we reeeally miss Partey.

Rice has obviously been incredible, but without both Partey and Xhaka our progressive passing from midfield has taken a huge, huge dip.

Overall I agree. We need another elite passer in midfield.
