Aside from the Pogba pushed forward debate. the rooney dropped debate. the martial where are you debate and the please please please play Rashford debate. There is also the. How do we get the best out of Zlatan debate.
For me he has been good but not great. seems to have joined in with the others lack of confidence and composure recently.
Not sure who it was in pre season that said to make him work we needed pace around him and willing runners from midfield. For me this is just, another reason to be pushing pogba forward more In midfield 3 and for me Harera would be playing alongside him. Both can break. Have vision and would link well together. They would need a Carrick/ Schweinsteiger behind them.
Get Rashford and Micky out wide with pace. and guile and I think we would see the teamclicking quickly and get the most out of Zlatan.

I think Rooney being dropped n Pogba moving forward would get more from Zlatan. More from Rooney too if he n Zlatan rotated.

How to get the best out of Zlatan isn't a debate it is obvious. First 3 games we were feeding him the ball and putting in some decent crosses and the rest we have resorted to using him as Andy Carroll with non stop pumping balls up to him. You saw when Felliani put in a decent cross he produced a top class header.

If you are getting the ball high and straight with your back to goal you are not going to score a goal no matter who you are. Play around him and he shall score.

He's a striker, he feeds on service. Since the City game our confidence has dropped and so has the number of forward balls toward the striker.

The other issue is he does like to drop deep, in doing so he often pulls defenders out leaving space behind for wide players to cut into. The problem is in our current system we have a No.10 playing in those positions, add to playing Pogba who likes to move forward into those positions all all makes that area very crowded and hard for anyone to play their natural game.

The obvious solution to to not play with a No.10 freeing up space for both Zlatan and Pogba to play with. But that would mean dropping the undropable player, but enough of that debate. Lol.
