Xavi was slow and Busquets too. At our peak our midfield still dominated faster, stronger players.
Thing is Xavi was a master of control and he's gone now.
If Lucho wants to play a fast, counter attacking Style he needs the right players for it.
Gomes, Rakitic and Mascherano/ Roberto is the best I can come up with now.
None of the above four are particularly fast but Rakitic and Mascherano did well in previous sides when counter attacking.
