How was Rashford pre red card? Was it worth having him play on the opposite wing to put Garnacho on the left?
I think the reason they played Rashford on the right, was because Elias Jelert is actually a right back, and he’s been a little uncomfortable on the left recently. So I think they gained quite an advantage putting Rashford on him.
Ah that’s makes sense, so it was a situational kind of thing. Gutsy performance from you guys, good luck against Bayern.
