He’s better than Rice.

Xhaka is obviously in the form of his life right now. But we shouldn't forget that he didn't always look like that. And he'll be 32 in a few months, so regression is inevitable.

Xhaka should be winning the ballon d’Or not Bellingham. Not even joking.
Leverkusen on the cusp of having the best season in European history.

Why would you use Leverkusen as a stick to beat Arsenal with?
What they've done is almost unheard of, hold any manager to that standard and you can rip them to shreds.

I'll never forget that Chelsea announcement video and the one he and his family made

I am not sure how old you are but in 1967 Celtic were the first British team to win the European Cup (the modern day champions league) and four domestic trophies - officially recorded as the only ever European quintuple.
But the invincibles I mentioned had nothing to do with European trophies it was about going unbeaten - and between (I believe as I'm listening to Soul Sister) 1913 - 1917 Celtic went unbeaten in all competitions. Jürgen Klopp would have had a field day as Celtic played two games on the same day.

You can mention Emery's immediate effect in Birmingham if thats better. The point is that not all managers need several years and absurd money to make a team significantly better. But Teta needed that.
Auba has scored almost 30 goals this season btw. He is pissing on Jesus, Havertz and Nketiah (anyone remember him?).

Was before my time. I have a lot of respect for the history of the two Glasgow clubs. Not sure what's your stance about it, but I was always hoping they'd join the English league system. But that ship seems to have sailed.

The stat is about top 5 European leagues anyway. For all we know a team from Luxembourg could go unbeaten in all comps but nobody cares.

I agree Emery is a fantastic manager and is doing a great job. Yet if you use @Bradpiff 's logic and compare him to Alonso he's a **** manager.
- Aston Villa has a higher squad value and spent more in transfers yet Villa is fighting for top 4 while Leverkusen secured the league title ages ago and is likely getting an invincible treble.
- Leverkusen is in the final of the Europa League while multiple time winner of the competition Emery got destroyed by Olympiacos in a weaker tournament.
- Emery has 10 years of experience over Alonso, yet he's underperforming on every metric compared to him
You'll never catch me saying that Arteta had the ideal path to getting us here, I wanted him sacked twice. But right now he's doing a great job. And progression is not linear, off the top of my head Ten Hag, Mourinho and Conte's first seasons were used as sticks to beat Arteta with, yet they all regressed, never came close to the tile and were (or about to be) sacked.

This is Auba? Looks so different, I didn’t recognise him.
