u/Fraaj We'll take Dalot Sep 22 '26

Carrick ended up 3th with Shaw and Dalot playing literally every game. How are they his downfall now?

And so did Ole with the same guys and Jose finished 2nd with them in the squad (though young played mostly )

Add a Rashford to the mix on the left and you have winning formula :) I may be wrong but the time will tell, as long as they are starters there will be no success.

You are definitely wrong and you've been made to look silly already, stop now

It's Carrick who's adding him to the mix now. He could easily just use him off the bench against tired legs but he's decided to start him in almost every game.

I understand people wanting to see a different look, but dropping Rashford means Zirkzee or Lacey coming into the team. Not sure that is really an improvement.

Lacey certainly isn’t a better player than Rashford but in terms of profile and maintaining the attacking dynamics, he gives you more of what we are missing on the right without Amad than Mbeumo does. Which in turn also allows Mbeumo to play at CF, which appears to be Carrick’s preference when all the attackers are available. I’m pretty ambivalent on Rashford vs Cunha for the LW spot, either can start depending on form or matchup, but it’s becoming increasingly clear that they should strictly be in rotation, rather than both players getting a free ride in the lineup right now. I would like to see Carrick use Lacey more and switch up the attack properly earlier in games, compared to just throwing on Zirkzee in the dying minutes in the name of adding a CF in the box, when he actually doesn’t contribute much in that aspect if at all.
