Are you pinning the loss on just Steele, or are you including the missing outfield players? The only one he really should have done better with is the 3rd. Steele was left high and dry by some League 2 defending today, even our skipper was absolutely dreadful.
I hope Sanchez is back as well. Although I think that if RDZ had any inclination to integrate him back in as first-choice keeper, he’d have done it after the two consecutive games he’d had against Chelsea and Man U.
His dribbling is still as good as ever, but I think the issue is his own shots at the end of a dribble are normally a bit wayward (unlike when the ball is played to him) and he often could be accused of trying too hard/choosing the wrong option. In the 'Mitoma cam' highlights of the Manchester United game, you could see (about four/five times) Ensico in the background essentially begging for the ball. It might not have ended up with a goal – and I know Enciso himself can be accused of trying too hard), but I'm pretty sure he was justified in his frustrations a couple of times.
I don't have anything against it per se, I just think a lot of us saw Caicedo being absolutely superb at nullifying Rashford recently, admittedly in a very good overall team performance.
With Solly ahead of him. Suspect he'd be vulnerable without
Not sure. Rashford had a couple of clear opportunities. One where he just walked past caciedo and should have done better with the shot.
That.
Why break up the understanding Mitoma has with Pervis ?
Because Mitoma plays on the left, a position in which he's studied how to play, and is so well sorted to the role. He played on the right against Brentford, and it didn't work out well.
