Anyone remember a game where Pogba played RW/RM? It would solve a lot problems if he did but I can't remember him playing there.
Disagree about Rashford on the right, he's never the same there imo. Don't think Cavani can be counted on for a full season. He's a high quality back up at this point in his career. Nor does Greenwood seem ready for the role.Rashford is quality on the right. Pogba isn't a winger but can do a left attacking mid role. Martial can be left wing with Rashford right and we use Cavani or Greenwood up top (best balance).
That's what I'm thinking but it's never happened from the right. It makes a lot of tactical sense but I can't recall it happening. Wondering why.Starting wide but with license to rotate with others to go centrally certainly seems the best way to get him involved.
It is a much better option than a James/Lingard/Mata/out of form Greenwood out there.
Thing is, Rashford's main advantage of playing on the left is that he ran past players. He's not really doing that regardless so I don't see a negative with him playing on the right.Disagree about Rashford on the right, he's never the same there imo.

No Pogba isn't a winger but I'm hoping he can play on the right similar to how he played on the left against Villa.
On the right he can't cut in and shoot with his stronger foot and not a good crosser. Those 2 things lead to mediocre play from the right.Thing is, Rashford's main advantage of playing on the left is that he ran past players.

It's one of those strange modern things that all attackers seem to prefer the left rather than playing on their strong foot on the right.That's what I'm thinking but it's never happened from the right. It makes a lot of tactical sense but I can't recall it happening. Wondering why.
Exactly. So why hasn't it happened? Seems obvious but Ole hasn't tried it.It's one of those strange modern things that all attackers seem to prefer the left rather than playing on their strong foot on the right.
Yes you can cut in but it makes any semblance of crossing more difficult.
As Pogba isn't really a crosser or a cut in merchant you'd think it'd work for him better than a Rashy.
We've only really started playing him wide left to be fair.Exactly. So why hasn't it happened? Seems obvious but Ole hasn't tried it.
Martial still the main striker? Or do you think Cavani will take that role?The fact that Ole keeps changing one of our wingers tells me that he'll be pursuing Sancho again in the summer.
Maybe Pogba can play there for now (prefer him on the left) but going forward, im certain Ole wants quick, pacey, direct wingers.
I imagine we'll see Rashford and Sancho as our first choice wingers next season, with Greenwood, James and Martial as the back up. Maybe Diallo and Pellestri too.
Rashford is more suited to the right than Pogba is.Disagree about Rashford on the right, he's never the same there imo. Don't think Cavani can be counted on for a full season. He's a high quality back up at this point in his career. Nor does Greenwood seem ready for the role.

Depends on form but I'm certain the season after next Ole will go in for a world class goalscorer.Martial still the main striker? Or do you think Cavani will take that role?
Fred Left Back always gets meWhy haven't we been trying Telles as Striker or Cavani as RB? That's what I want to know - could solve a lot of problems

Thing is, Martial is a very well rounded striker but jury is still out as to whether he can be that 20+ striker for us.
How so?Rashford is more suited to the right than Pogba is.
Yes because switching Pogba from LM to RM is the same as playing Telles at CFWhy haven't we been trying Telles as Striker or Cavani as RB? That's what I want to know - could solve a lot of problems
I would have thought it’s quite easy to see to be honest?How so?
Rashford is not quality on the right. He can play there but he's stronger on the left where he can cut inside. Jose played Pogba at RM several times when Fred was first signed. Apparently Fred is not as strong on the right. I've always heard Pogba prefers the left so and his appearances on the right did not impress that much.Rashford is quality on the right. Pogba isn't a winger but can do a left attacking mid role. Martial can be left wing with Rashford right and we use Cavani or Greenwood up top (best balance).
Yes. With Cavani here next season, I can imagine he, Martial and Greenwood can share the striker role.The season after next?
I wouldn't say it's a given he'll definitely be here in over 18months! I hope he is as it'll have meant he's won something.
It feels, because of them both being Brazilian and allergic to scoring goals, a bit like the old Anderson at LB chat.Fred Left Back always gets me
you can do that if the RB is offensively good. Wan-Bissaka is not known for his offensive attributes.Starting wide but with license to rotate with others to go centrally certainly seems the best way to get him involved.

Disagree, Rashford is best on the left because he can cut inside and finish with his strongest footRashford is quality on the right. Pogba isn't a winger but can do a left attacking mid role. Martial can be left wing with Rashford right and we use Cavani or Greenwood up top (best balance).
