I'd say Ole was more worried about Arsenal's pace on the left. Imagine Young vs Pepe, better to play him against the inexperienced Saka.
Oh yeah, forgot about that. Really needed to concentrate on staying wider when Arsenal were sending in crosses. But, it didn't cost us and he can work on it.
I think mostly he felt very uncomfortable on that side, and with no natural left footed player in front of him, it made things pretty uninspiring on that side.
He's an incredible athlete, so I think you could play him anywhere and he'll look tidy. Needs to play to progress but that will come.
All I can think off is that if Shaw is out for sometime, then Ole may well fancy Tuanzebe at left back rather than Young or Rojo. Wan Bissaka will hopefully be back soon, then Young will be out of the team. Good thinking possibly? He didn't do such a bad job in that position last night. Ole may keep him there even when Shaw is fit, but I would prefer him more central.
Read other threads. Some are blaming Lindelof for the goal we conceded.
This was the first thread I came to when I signed in... I guess I don't need to read the others then
I just did and commented on it. it is absolutely ridiculous.
Young's normally quite decent when he's playing on the left. He has the odd shocker, but most of the time he provides more than what I'd expect Tuanzebe to. It's when he's played on the right where Young is terrible.
Although as a centre back he would probably be a lot more comfortable and we might not see these mistakes.
Lindelof has made multiple errors playing in his natural/preferred position. Axel at LB was a risky venture, especially considering he is yet to play enough games this season
Okay, so you are backing Rashford? Because his natural position is the LW so if he plays ST and makes mistakes it should be forgotten and blame others ? oh Pogba didnt play the pass to him with enough pace so his problem?
Why change it? Lindelof and Maguire have been far from the issue in our side, and are starting to look like a good partnership.
Yep a back three with Dalot and Williams as wingbacks seems apt. I think a 3-5-2 or 3-4-3 will work for us given our issues in midfield and the injuries we are contending with right now - a 3-4-3 has the benefit of including Dan James whilst also relieving Rashford of the pressure that comes with being a lone forward.
Yes, although with a 3-4-3 I'd rather play Wan Bissaka as the right center back and move Lindelöf to the bench if it meant giving Tuanzebe a run. The forward line could also be James - Martial - Greenwood with Rashford as the reserve as he rarely ever does well on the right.
I've looked at this pass several times and I really think that Lindelof took his eye off the ball and didn't move onto to it quicker. I know he could have taken the easy route and passed back to Maguire, but Lindelof had a clear run with the ball if he had picked it up. IMO. I like him and he is quick and can tackle.
Agree with that even though I worry about our central creativity on the ball if Pogba is out so maybe Gomes in place of another forward and play a 3-5-2? I think AWB still has some defensive flaws wrt positioning which could be exposed in a new and more difficult role.
He isn't much good going forward, so his best role might be the kind of thing Kyle Walker plays under Southgate.
Yes there is that.
No I am not backing Rashford. In any case, what you have is an unfair comparison because:
I doubt he would struggle that much since he partially played left back (and right back) in the Sweden team that won U21 Euros and was named player of the tournament for Sweden.
