Rashford back to show boat mode.

His confidence makes him a worse player sometimes

Really pleased to see us have some kind of coherent plan for how to play, but my worry is that we are seriously lacking guile. Of our front four none are seriously creative players, though that said both Rashford and Martial have the dribbling skills to create openings. But for the most part we still lack what it takes to get beyond the edge of the box. Without Pogba we would be in absolutely bereft of passing creativity. I've seen quite a few posters over the summer arguing that what we need is a goalscoring midfielder - I'd be inclined to say that what we need far more is to replace one or two of that front four - probably James and/or Lingard - with a quick-thinking forward with who can pick a pass. Very early days for James to say the least but on initial glimpses I'm not seeing anything that's going to help raise the level of our attack.

Rashford and DDG are so poor, but the rest have been great this half.

Nothing is so common as the wish to be remarkable.
Watching this game right now. The real main weakness is our lack of creativity. We've got the running, the pressing, the pace. Pogba is the only one who can do that magic pass to unlock a tight defense and if he gets man marked we're fecked.
No argument there. Jesus, he could be the worlds best midfielder if he wants.
This was also best summer to get a right wing talent (players waiting to breakout and still at second tier teams) but do think we will go for Sancho next summer.

Bissaka so good just now.

Imagine the meltdown if Lukaku had a game like Rashy here :lol:

Lukaku is still our best striker.. by some distance too. Madness that we are even considering letting him go.

He must stay.. and he will force himself into our starting XI pretty quickly too.

He is our best goal scorer but I don’t think
he will work well in the high pressing system ole wants.

It’s a difficult one.
