The sooner he gets put back on the right wing the better, much prefer him there.
He's a much better player on the right wingHe's not as good as he thinks he is. Maybe it's partly down to playing on the left but just so one dimensional there, he cuts inside and then runs out of ideas, it's pretty predictable.
He's not. The club is desperate and we've rushed through a youth player again. Quite relieved that Mainoo is getting some rest though.He really should be our young, up-and-coming player who comes off the bench and starts the occasional game (much like last year.) I think he's got a great future, but he's not ready to be a consistent starter for us.
I'm telling you mate, he becomes one dimensional on that wing. God knows what the coachhes are doing in training.To be fair, there wasn't a lot else going on around him. He had no support from his fullback or any other type of overlapping run from a midfielder, and his options in the box were Rashford who has not physicality and generally poor at making runs in the box. I would say hiim going 1v1 and having a shot was our best chance of anything happening down that side. Now why our manager set things up that way to begin with is another story all together.

To be a consistent starter.He's not what?
Ah ok - agreed.To be a consistent starter.
Definitely. It’s easy to forget how much of a mess the squad is in too. You’ve got City with Foden, Doku and Alverez on the bench who would all be great options for us on the left, yet we’re giving a 19 year old, twenty three starts in a row.Easy to forget how young he is and get frustrated with his desicion making. It feels like he needs a few weeks rest, pity noone is even nearly ready to step in.
All the attention is on Rashford but he had a worse game.

When he isnt scoring goals he's not all that great at present. And today he didnt get much of a chance to score
He's young so plenty of time to work on making sure he has a good touch, keeping the ball and being an outlet for the team which are the areas he looks too raw for now
Yeah, the issue with him is that in addition to not having a big burst acceleration, he’s not one of those supremely technical talents either who maintain pressure in congested spaces. Where he excels is his doggedness and directness, but I think he needs to work on many areas to compensate for the things he doesn’t excel at. Building strength as you sah kay help as it would allow him to be assured under pressure.Needs to seriously bulk up, both Walker and Ake nullified him with such ease he couldn't even hold the ball. He's not as fast to be that skinny, he needs more strength to compete.
