So all forwards except Greenwood has injured and not available this weekend. And the worse, Greenwood has lost all feelings to score now. And he can't take ball while standing back to opponent CB.
Is it time for OGS to try something new?
Shortire for sure not ready yet.
Move Bruno as forward? Not my cup of tea certainly.
Bruno need to be on no.10 position, or else no creativity at all.
Make McTom as fake 9?
Well not KDB that type of fake 9 certainly.
He only has 2 jobs, pressing on opponent CB non stop. And take the ball while standing back to opponent player and quickly pass back to Bruno or both flanks.
And actually McTom can shoot, just cannot pass forward.
Well, it sounds stupid I know.
But one thing for sure, putting Greenwood as CF won't work. He has lost all his feelings now. From a scoring machine to almost a surplus. May be the problem is within himself, may be the problem is from OGS, keep develop him as winger while he is a pure striker.
Greenwood is a proper striker who plays best receiving the ball facing the goal.
When you play Greenwood who depends on his movement to create chances, this comes as either through balls or low sweeping crosses.
The problem here is that tempo is not high enough to generate those through ball opprtunities nor get in a postion to make thos low crosses.
Bruno can make them if given the opportunity. The problem is by the time we get the ball to Bruno, the opposition defensive unit has usually reorganized.
The weak link is getting the ball from defence to Bruno. That is a supply problem which neither Fred nor McT is the solution. Sometimes, we see Lindelof making those through balls for a couple of goals but these are rare. To solve the supply issue, Pogba is required but we have no idea what his status is. He may have lost all interest to play for United.
I won't be surprised to see Pogba suddenly being available for France again after being injured for so long.
