Agree totally.
You stop Pogba playing, and make Martial have to pick the ball up on the half way line, plus not let Rashford have half a pitch to sprint into, and we're utterly bereft of attacking option.
Nothing on the right at all, two midfielders alongside Pogba who aren't play makers, and two strikers who don't like receiving the ball with their back to goal.
Exactly. Thats what pissed me off about the PSG match, because Tuchel showed a blueprint to everyone else in the first leg on how to stop Utd and PSG threw away the second leg by trying to be too clever tactically at the end.
However everyone copied the method for the games after and suddenly things became 10x worse. Pogba is seen by the rest of the team as the ball carrier, final pass maker and goal scoring midfielder, and it probably sickened him how dire our front 5 and full back options really are:
Lukaku: No first touch, cannot bring others into play and useless against teams set up deep defensively.
Rashford: No presence in the box aerially, cannot play back to goal and spacial awareness in the box is questionable, along with his one on one finishing.
Lingard: Limited skill set and vision, runs a lot defensively but offers very little creatively.
Sanchez: A FLOP.
Martial: Useless when playing against a high back line or when swamped with players who prevent him from cutting in on his right foot. Offers no passing lanes other than when hes in the box. with others.
Young: Finished as a PL footballer and was never consistently at the reuqired level for a title challenging team.
Valencia: Finished.
Dalot: Great cross but lots to learn defensively and hardly had a run of games at RB.
Shaw: Good engine and only decent option in this list, however again plays on the left side which is easy Utd;s biggest strength. Doesnt overlap enough or provide enough quality going forward compared to other LB in world football.
