Could watch his celebration over and over and over.
Not sure if moving to Bayern would even be an upgrade anymore, they're so unambitious, they might get back to winning Bundesligas but they're not doing anything in the CL anytime soon.
At last, somebody worthy of Paddy's throne.
I said it before, but it needs to be said again I really REALLY need Elneny to come off the #4 shirt for Lucas.

He's been getting close to scoring recently, I think we'll see more of them now. Absolutely brilliant player, love everything about him but still feel we need a better player than Xhaka next to him.
Said it in the Xhaka thread, that for all the praise the Liverpool and Sp**s high energy, physical, dominant, midfields get - Xhaka and Torreira have bossed both of them now.With him next to Xhaka, Xhaka has become a much better player. At this point I won't replace him with anyone.
Yeah, just hope the yellow doesn't come back to haunt him, he could miss a vital game later in the season due to taking his shirt off. Having said that I guess its an in the moment thing and shows his passion. I like to think he did it because it was Sp**s, if so he's learning fast

They're working brilliantly as a partnership and compliment each other perfectly.
Xhaka is a good player. You won’t play pirlo without having a gattusso. And that’s the same with xhaka. Xhaka didn’t improve, it’s just that he can play his normal game with torreira next to him.True. A lot of us seem to forget that things are done in training that are invaluable to a team, especially when you have two players who are understanding each other. It's obvious that whatever Xhaka and Lucas are doing together to make them a better pair is working. No need to replace either of them just for the sake of it. And besides, Xhaka is an excellent footballer. What he lacked under Wenger was his awareness and ability to sense danger. It's been improved since Emery is here.

In terms of playing style, yes, he is a deep lying playmaker, similar to pirlo, xabi alonso and xavi. Not ability-wise you fool. You are just trying to completely ignore what I actually mean aren’t you?Are you really comparing Xhaka with Pirlo? Having said that, I’m one of Xhaka’s biggest critics and he’s definitely improved. He has a lot less defensive work to do because of Torreira and can focus on his strengths.
