His intensity is completely gone. He's been playing first XI football for a decade.

how ball get forward?

When we expand to all "attacking midfielders" we go up to 59, and we can compare to the rest of the league

Good spot

I would actually say yes. Not because we were Good - we had good spells - but because it was a little different.

Attacking LB - Xavi inside left - Kulu right-leaning 10 - Kudus rw

Worryingly:

- Only 17% of these passes are forwards to him
- 60% are over 10 meters in length
- 10% are way off the floor

Kolo Muani, with his smooth back-to-goal play, comfortably leads the squad in finding our playmaker in dangerous areas, with techy former PSG academy teammate Odobert in second.

In-field passers Bentancur, Sarr and Udogie make up the top 5.

Game-by-game, I think they broadly pass the eye test as a measure of Spurs' quality on the ball.

Spurs are averaging just 3.1 of these passes to Xavi per90.

The good news is that they are trending upwards, but that's broadly in line with his own minutes ticking up.

Spurs have found Xavi in the hole 52 times so far this season between PL and CL fixtures.

13 (25%) of them have resulted in Spurs registering a shot. Which I think pretty clearly underlines both their value and his ability.
