Totally agree Berba. Martial, Jesse and Rashford have all been criticised and they do deserve it to some extent. That said, our tactics and build-up play from defence and midfield has been sadly lacking.

Rashford just needs to revert back to basics a little bit. He's guilty of trying too many stupid flicks and pot-shots and over-complicating things.
What made him such a threat when he burst onto the scene was his pace, his running at players and a coolness in front of goal.
If as a team we can move the ball faster, win the ball back quicker and play with good movement and tempo then I think we'll see not just the best of him but of a few of our players.

I agree. Perhaps he's been trying a little too hard to make things happen when he was more effective making things happen with his movement, pace and finishing.
All our attackers seem to think they're the next David Silva ffs.
Players like Martial, Rashford, even Lukaku does it, coming short and fecking about around the edge of the box before stumbling over the ball and losing it.
Literally the opposite of playing to their strengths.
Martial I think must've been getting fast track lessons from Valencia in how to forget to beat a man.

Agree with this. They should be running in behind. What we really miss is a AM that can run at the heart of the opposition and create panic. If you have someone driving through the middle it creates space for the attackers to run into. That is why I would be interested in Coutinho. Can run at players and pick a pass.
