Xavi Simons

[Bishop]

And its all abit washy to say "frank don't like him" or he is not his kind of player.

He is actually getting more minutes than anyone bar Kudus in the attacking midfield area, he is here in a new league and its notoriously tough, I like the lad ALOT but we can't hand on heart say he has set the world alight either

The guy is on a 5 year deal, he will come good, like alot thats lost in the game, patience will be his best friend

I don't think that it's that Frank doesn't like or rate him. I think our problem is as with many things structural. To get the best out of Xavi or any 10 really, you need both a ball passing 8 or a team with good usage of the ball or a tactic to play through that 10 at all times. If we aren't going to play with someone who is going to get the ball to him early and in good positions then again he's a pointless.
