Hopefully the football ignoramuses on here now realise why Xhaka/Ramsey will never

I'd say that it's perfectly acceptable for a central midfielder to identify an opportunity to break beyond the strikers when we have solid phase 1 possession and a decent shape. Indeed, it is important that a central midfielder does exactly this.

I believe, therefore, that in this instance you are mistaken.

It is a question of how often the midfielder does it and whether or not he then gets back into position once the move has broken down. In Ramsey's case the answers are constantly and rarely, hence the issue.

BTW, seen the FB entry for IH's ex? Slightly tragic but also somewhat amusing. He's in the soup again, it seems. Fraud!

It seems that recently married and allegedly blissfully happy IH has been caught putting it about - yet again.

His ex was more than happy to tell everyone and a subsequent load of replies had IH getting murdered by all and sundry.

So by 'ex' are we talking about his wife or the previous one?

Wait, he's been indiscreet with TS, is it?

No, TS somehow found out he's been cheating on his new wife and told everyone

Followed by about 20+ replies slating IH for the 'fraud that he is'

Can't see it now, she might have removed it.

That boy's got issues, I tell you.

I mean, 'let he who is without sin' and all that, but one would hope a chap might learn at least a little something from one's mistakes, no?

I haven't, I've divested myself of such connections.

But I'm going to have a look now...

Well I trust someone will fill me in? I assume he's thrown his short fat hairy leg over some other gullible sort?
