Jadon Sancho (loan)

[N'ZMAV]

the players that were key we didn't replace were Asensio and Rashford - Ramsey didn't play much that season

My point, yet again, is that Sancho was never going to be a good fit in our setup as we don't play with traditional wingers. Emery continually tries wingers and they don't work. Our wide positions suit McGinn, Ramsey in the past and sure Buendia this season as they are comfortable coming into the centre of the pitch taking possession. Stevie Wonder could have seen Guessand didn't have the technical ability to play there. It's a tough role that requires a lot of tactical discipline, technical ability and engine to get up and down the pitch. Sancho met one of those three requirements. Ramsey met all three for me.

Rashford didn't work in midfield either, a point that continues to fly over your and others heads, he only got going as a 9. Sure Emery seems insistent to keep trying with a traditional winger, Id prefer if he focused on a player that fits into our setup. Even when Bailey was at his best we were moving McGinn out of his best position.

We don't play with traditional wingers apart from all the times we do.

Again you insisting on your pet rants doesn't suddenly make them true, no matter how many clouds you shout them at. Rashford got 5 assists in 7 games on the wing and, whilst clearly not match fit, he was doing pretty much everything you'd want from a winger.

The last line sums you up perfectly, the best manager we've ever had, overseeing the best run of league finishes we've had since Victorian times and you still think you know better than him, the delusion is breath-taking.

Diaby and Bailey (2 years ago) were traditional wingers and both worked.
Rashford largely played wide as a winger like he does for England, that worked.
