Strikers' crisis in recent games, team's midfielders take charge of goals

Even when the striker is Marcus Rashford, who is the striker that Erik ten Hag supports, and who is the axis of attack, all his offensive tactics for this 24 year old English striker, who is having a regular season where he has minutes, participates and is a great generator of goals, the problem is that as much as he has good participations, goals are needed from him, it is his main task.

When the season started and ten Hag declared that this player would be his main attacker, we realised that there would be a pressure to carry this occupation in which Martial and Cristiano have put pressure, the first is still injured, while Cristiano will deal with dressing room problems he has against Erik ten Hag, now the player will become the main reference to the attack, he has failed to score a few games ago, the player started well or again has failed.

For Erik ten Hag he is not decisive in the team, teaches his striker a lesson

Nothing else is unique about this player, in the last three games he has scored three goals, two against Spurs in the last Premier League game, none against Newcastle and one against Omonia in the Europa League, this one at the last minute.

What these games have in common is that few goals were scored, and although they were two wins and a draw, the reality is that those three goals came from midfielders.

All three goals came from non-attacking, playmaking players, the first being Scott McTominay's 92nd minute winner at Old Trafford against Omonia, then a goalless draw against Newcastle, then the last Premier League game against Spurs, where the goals came from Fred and Bruno Fernandes, the strikers have not been effective in recent games.

The downside is that another crucial game follows which will demand the best attitude from the team, the best players should be in place to play against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, it is a very important test to prepare for this game, which will need their strikers to be confident, it will need the attack to win the three points against Graham Potter's team.

It will also affect the issue that Cristiano Ronaldo experienced at the end of the game, in which, he did not enter to play in what was a very important victory to continue to hope for titles for this team that still has no idea in many sectors of the field, now they will seek the remedy to continue to increase the chemistry in this squad, the Red Devils want to continue adding experience and points.
