@@Deathmare235 Trent actually reminds me the most of Xabi because he attempts alot more driven long pass Xabi style. I do hope he eventually just shifts to a CDM as it fits him more. Although I would say Xabi was obviously better because he did switchups and in general had more passing range which Trent doesn't do as much.

Opposite approach to Chelsea. Chelsea have bought good players with an incredible ceiling but at too young to be consistent and relied upon with such pressure, Leverkusen signed consistent efficient players. It shows in the way both teams play. Not digging Chelsea, the talent is phenomenal and will come good im sure, but with the way they scouted, it would always happen.
