while i dont think he was our best player over the 2 legs, i thought his passing was superb and was especially important in both the games.
i just don't think there is anyone else in our team who can hit the kind of 40-50 yard passes that xabi does on a consistent basis. being able to switch the point of attack with pinpoint accuracy tends to go unnoticed until its missing. in fairness masch looks like he's trying to add these types of passes to his game but it will take him some time. and i dont think we can say much about what happens after the pass as that is reliant on who is out on the wing to receive it most of the time. which in my opinion means if it wasn't babel it usually got wasted.
