Look at the run from Laca after he won the ball. All Xhaka had to do was dink it over the top and he’d have been 1 on 1 with the keeper.
It takes most sides at least 10 seconds to recover their shape when they lose the ball so the speed of our transition is critical. Quick thinking, vision and courage for a first receiver are vital to linking attack and exploiting errors.
This is where I feel a number 8 of Gundogan-like description would be a more important signing than a number 10.
