Can't take it anymore.

Haven't been this annoyed by seeing a player in our XI for a while.

I actually like the guy, top professional and not too bad a player, but at this point, hurts seeing him on the field alongside CR7 and co lol.

Khedira is vastly inferior to both Can and Bentancur at every aspect of being a midfielder. Can and Bentancur are much faster than Khedira, cover a lot more ground, defend better, and are just as good at passing.

Khedira's only strength his occasional goalscoring, which is redundant in a team with our attack. The primary purpose of our midfielders should be to supply our amazing forwards.

Coaches have favorites, and this sloth seems to be one of Allegri's favorites. We're stuck with him, probably as a starter, this season as well. We need to accept it and hope he either improves or his deficiencies aren't highlighted against high level opponents. It's such a shame we went from Prime Cheesio, Vidal, Pogba, and Pirlo to this lazy, slow, and soft midfield we currently possess.

maybe a 2016/17 Evra scenario is in store, Max will drive everyone mad playing him in most important games of the first half of the season and then just let him go in January :p

Either all these managers, top managers btw, that have started him are wrong, or all these fans are wrong. I’m not a Khedira fan but his numbers don’t justify the hate he receives. He grades out as our second best mid, unfortunately.

I like him and think he could/should be the starter in most games but hes exploitable in games that matter most. So we need to find what will work there. Not saying he cant but it needs to be in a 3 man and not 2

the problem is when you go from midfielders like vidal, pogba, pirlo, giach, and pereyra to him...well underwhelming doesnt even describe it.

I was really hoping for pogba return this summer, but oh well. it's ony a matter of time before Can-matuidi becomes starting mid duo
