Actually Am more worried that his kicking and playing out from the back has become completely non existent.
The new instructions to just hit long to rasmus and rashford is the number one cause of the terrible football we are playing. I dont know why we removed even the basic stuff he was excellent at...he even ignores basic straight forward passes to go long...its shocking
My hope is that this is not a permanent decision because it defeats the purpose of buying him
Teams seem to figure that just letting us pass at the back and marking our attackers would be sufficient enough to frustrate us.
In this game, we move the ball so slow. Someone like McTominay had very little influence in the build up, while Bruno had a disastrous overall performance. Rashford being Rashford. Even when Maguire played well, he took too long on ball. Lindelof, Evans, Dalot, Amrabat are similar to lesser extend.
Injury crisis and silly squad building with wrong priority leaves us again with plenty of round holes and square pegs on the team.
