We are a team that is so reliant upon the individual... v fragile. It was a good game of football, I expected an even contest.
What we have is some cracking attacking/ creative talent. Pogba, Rashford, Cavani, Greenwood and Fernandes are better than the vast majority of Premiership attacking units. They give us the edge, as they are simply better than who we are frequently up against. Look at the earlier game, Everton and West Ham.. no real attacking edge at all. Villa are a good team, but again, Watkins? El Ghazi? They aren't going to cause many problems to anybody really, the odd goal here and there.
I still think we lack in terms of defensive/general midfielders. Bailly makes a huge difference when he plays well. He's v v fast, v strong, and naturally decent on the ball. Maguire surely must prefer playing alongside him.
Jack Grealish and Paul Pogba were the best footballers on the pitch. Easily.
