Said it all along Rashford can be world class. However too much onus on his defensive duties from Jose imo. He has incredible attacking skills with his turn of pace and finishing qualities. He shouldn't be running up and down the line making diving tackles and risking 2 yellow cards. Cemented his place in the England squad today.
MacTominay is definately in for the long haul. Great to see!
There is too much onus on his defensive duties simply because Jose does not really trust our defenders. Neither Valencia nor Young are natural fullbacks.
When Jose had Ferreira, Terry, Carvalho & Gallas in his back four with Makelele & Essien shielding the back four, I never saw Robben or Duff with this amount of defensive duties....
Everything comes down to the board and how slow they are going with the rebuilding. This summer must sort out the full back/central midfield problem if we are going to challenge City next season.
Guardiola has spent more than £200m on his defence whilst
4 of our back five today are Fergie’s boys. We need to do better in investing in that defence so that our forward players can concentrate fully on the attacking side of the game.
