Yeah there's probably a better way of putting this, but for me that situation is a clear example of where you need the player's independent decision making to kick in (ie recognise the danger in the specific situation and kick it out of play), even though this might go against the more general tactical instruction/coaching emphasising retaining possession
Clrnc There is a lot going wrong in that clip, our CBs aren't paying attention to KDB, Ramsdale is in no mans land and then of course the pass back.
Tomi should be taking a touch there but obviously can feel Grealish breathing down his neck
Terrible pass too now that I look at it again. Should never be putting it either towards or across the goal, or pushing it central from those positions. Always outside the posts and down the line to keep it away from the danger area.
QuincyAbeyie That's already how we play most of the time in possession, just Xhaka and Zinchenko the other way around.

Not far from it, but I don't think White plays exactly like a CB. I also think Zinchenko has more to offer higher in the pitch than what Xhaka has.
