I also seem to remember Xhaka being generally a lot more involved in the final 3rd. Havertz will go through large spells in matches drifting in pockets away from the area of action. But maybe that’s more of an issue with our attacking play lacking fluidity this season, as opposed to a Kai issue. Could also be a strict instruction from Mikel and how he tries to utilise his talents vs how he wanted to use Xhaka.
Xhaka more progressive, more creative, more of a goalscoring threat, better defensively
Havertz better presser and aerial threat
