One aspect I really like about Barca is in every instance of play they are well prepared to regain possession, like fullbacks getting to overhit crosses. Hate it when we always cross to no one and nobody is there to collect at the other end
This is what set them apart and made them unplayable at their peak. It allowed them to get away with some rickety looking back fours even in big games.
For a supposedly passing team like us, we can look at Barcelona and see how different they are with their passing. Every pass is intricate, in between little spaces even in midfield. They hardly passes back at all, every pass is always with purpose and risky. Our possession play is often too "safe".
