Slooooow midfield means there's a lot of ground to cover for Baleba, and it often looks like we're basically grooming Yoro to become a RB ?
Pressure on Licha to have a top performance following midweek's outburst (which was accurate), and Rashford off the bench makes sense but leaving Cunha out of the lineup is debatable. Leaving Bruno (presumably) out wide right takes him out of his favored space, and Tielemans has not proven to be a high caliber central player yet.
Hard to feel optomistic until some lineup clicks or a couple of players catch fire... 2-2 ? 🤨
