There is a clear difference when you have prime Xavi in midfield, and the likes of Alves wide, Mascherano in defence, etc.A common rebuttal has often been ‘Not everyone can do it like Barcelona’. They are all over the place at the moment, and a lot is of their own making.
You need to have fully functional team all around for it to work at greatest level. I hope Giflord can gif it because that moment when they conceeded a corner just shows how stupid it can look when the team is clearly not bothered or not quality enough to play it, but they just try to di it because their manager told them to do it.
