"Rashford came on as a sub for England yesterday and completed the most dribbles (3/3 XXX% success). Honestly thats the part I feel hes been lacking most with us and Rashford fans before you jump on me talking about useless dribbles or saying output matters more let me explain. Im not hating or undervaluing his Goals & Assists. Im actually happy with his output and hope it continues. But remember last season we already had Raphinha delivering elite output and we were still searching for a LW. Why Because we needed wide threat and 1v1 ability from the left someone to take pressure off Yamal and"

"For the first time under Flick I feel like were not ready at all for the upcoming Clasico. Its not that Real Madrid are terrifying theyve also fumbled big tests but were letting even the weaker teams create multiple big chances every game. If we continue defending like this the Clasico could be a disaster. Can Flick fix these issues in just one week Will Raphinha be fit and if he is will that solve our pressing problems We dont know. In my opinion Flick should temporarily drop the high line and reliance on the offside trap for this game like he did against Newcastle. He should go for a more"

"This is how I would line up today: 🔹With both of our strikers injured as I said in an earlier tweet I think our best option is to move Rashford to striker and play Balde as a LW while Martin continues starting at LB. 🔹I dont think Fermin and Yamal are fit enough to start and theres no reason to take risks. Lamines replacement is easily Roony and for Fermin its between Dro and Toni I personally prefer Dro 🔹In defence I think Flick should settle on a CB pairing. Enough with the rotation we need two players who can get used to each other for better offside trap execution and these two are my"

"Another recurring issue was the same one we saw vs PSG the lack of pressing triggers. In Flicks structure the wingers (Rashford & Yamal) are the ones who lead the press so they are the ones supposed to trigger the press. But unlike Raphinha they rarely initiated it. So Toni who is naturally the most advanced often felt forced to lead the press himself leaving their pivot (who is supposed to be marked by Toni) unmarked and free which broke our structure completely"

"Defensively the pressing structure was also much better in the first 15-20 mins.

"The second pressing issue the lack of intensity from the wingers forcing the striker to trigger the press was also fixed for a while thanks to Fermns energy.

"Even our counter-pressing looked sharper in that period with less distance between our midfielders and Fermn often acting like a 4th midfielder it became easier to trap the player on the ball and win it back quickly.

"I feel like sometimes we underestimate the impact of our injuries. Saying were looking worse than last season totally ignores the fact that just losing Lamine Yamal alone last season saw us lose 4-2 to Osasuna and fail to beat teams like Sociedad Celta Vigo Leganes Las Palmas and Real Betis. This season were missing not just Lamine but also Raphinha and Fermin. The fact that we managed to win some games without Lamine this season has made us detached from reality. Im pretty sure if wed had these same injuries last season wed have suffered in the same way"

"To be honest I used to have doubts about the idea of a Bernal Pedri Frenkie midfield for the future. I always thought Bernal and Frenkie would both operate from deeper positions which would push Pedri too high up the pitch and limit his involvement in the build-up. But after seeing Frenkie play in a more advanced role against Girona Im starting to change my mind. If both Frenkie and Pedri share those advanced responsibilities while having a pivot behind them for balance that midfield could be incredibly fluid and complete"

"I know its unlikely to happen but if both Raphinha and Ferran are fit in time to start the Clasico how would you like to see the lineup Raphinha on the LW and Rashford as a ST with Ferran on the bench Or Raphinha as a CAM Rashford on the left and Ferran as the ST with Fermin on the bench And please dont respond with 'Raphinha wont make it' or 'Raphinha shouldnt start after injury.'

"Its strange how many fans measure creativity based only on assists instead of the actual quality or number of chances a player creates. Pedri for example have a lot of games this season where he didn't get an assist despite creating more and better quality chances than yesterday but for those people Pedri was only creative in yesterday's game just because Rashford finished the chance he created that wasn't even a big chance. Assists depend on the finisher that's personally i will always prefer to look at the full picture chances created big chances created and especially expected assists (xA)"

"My man of the match today was definitely Frenkie. I absolutely loved the freedom he was given to go forward and attack. He was one of the few players on the pitch who never stopped running or pressing. He played the full game and stayed consistently good throughout literally everywhere sometimes receiving between the lines sometimes carrying the ball from deep defending and launching counters. And on top of all that he assisted the match winner. Amazing performance. He reminded me of his RCM version under Koeman which Ive always thought was a very underrated version of him"

"I'm tired of overlooking the absurd number of injuries and the noticeable fatigue and drop in work rate from most of our players this season. I dont think laziness is the only explanation theres clearly a physical issue that we need to acknowledge.

This pain now gain later conditioning does"

"1First Half From the start it was clear Rashford played LW and Toni acted as a false X not the opposite like we thought so it wasn't the expected 4-2-3-1 with Pedri as CAM but a 4-3-3. Casado was the lone pivot with Pedri & Frenkie as interiors"

"While Girona sat in a mid block with a 4-4-2 structure which meant they had only two forwards pressing our CBs so it was easy for us to break their block by simply forming a back X and creating a 3v2 advantage.

"So overall there was some limited threat from both flanks and no real central danger but at least on the ball we had some good control and clean passing but the real problem was off the ball especially our pressing Flick started with last seasons structure with both wingers Rashford & Lamine leading the press on CBs which worked early with high intensity but after the goal cracks started to show"

"In both actions the attacker tries to make a run and the defender tries to block him using his body ending up hitting the attackers face with his hand. The only difference is that the Getafe defender also used his leg which is never the reason for a red card. We all know the reason is hitting the face. You could argue that in Vinis case the ball was far from him but I could also argue that in this case Rashford was in a much more dangerous position and the foul potentially stopped an attacking opportunity"

"Some people will say Im just making excuses but I swear one of the main reasons weve been struggling against man-to-man pressing is Szczesnys poor ball-playing ability. Yesterday there were many sequences where both Balde and Kounde were free and he failed to deliver the right long pass to them. In two instances he even gave the ball away in dangerous positions. Not to mention how he panics and often just punts the ball away. Correct me if Im wrong but I remember he was better than this last season"
