We better have something better than a geriatric Gagai lined up.

I saw this bit of analysis on Reddit that’s worth sharing. If you watch the bottom of the video, the Tigers number 4 gives up on the play, but Gagai keeps pushing up in support just in case. Even though he never gets the ball, the Tigers still have to cover him, which creates room for Best to score the match winner. I think these are exactly the kinds of things Madge will be hoping Gagai passes on to Niu and Coates. It also shows his fitness and speed are still adequate, especially given it was the 74th minute of the game.
