Assuming we don't buy another RW.
I think this has been a major problem for us. We are too left side dependent, so much so that the pitch gets over crowded with our own players there leaving a lack of space to use and expose. Teams know this too, so they also heavily defend our left side of the attack.
I was hoping we would fix this by buying a top quality RW and a quality RCM. Someone like a Bernardo Silva who can play off the wing and in the middle, along with a quick goal scoring option from the right. That coupled up with a RB who can get up and down the pitch makes that side of the pitch a lot more dangerous. So far I think we've only done 1.5 of that (AWB should be an improvement at RB, and James could be a good quick RW option).
Can we also fix the last half of the problem by moving Pogba to RCM? I floated this idea last season, but the arguement against it was that Pogba was in great form and you should play your best players in their favoured position. I don't think Pogba would be any less effective at RCM. In fact, he's a great crosser, and I think it opens up more passing options for him from there. Anyone else agree?
