Murray will play and as a natural goalscorer would like to see Locadia instead of March. Not sure however he is used to doing defensive work expected in that position but lets go for it

March was possibly our best player for the first 5-6 games this season, unlucky to be dropped and then when brought back he's played on the right where he is clearly not as comfortable/effective. Locadia is a STRIKER, who can apparently play LEFT wing. So we effectively have 2 LEFT wingers and a striker who can play LEFT wing.
If we were going to change it to play Locadia then I'd play Gross on the right and Locadia behind Murray but that is effectively disrupting 2 positions so play March, he knows the position and can/will track back.

My initial thought was Locardia, but you make a compelling counter-argument.

I don't think Locadia is quick enough to play on the wing with the style we play.

IMO Jose and March are our 2 most effective wingers when they're on form. March's form has definitely been inconsistent this season. His old bad habits have returned with failed crosses and poor decision making, but I've a feeling March will soon adapt like he did in the Championship. If so, March could soon be a top player for us. He definitely has the technical ability. He just needs a good run in the team.

Good post.

However, I’m just not sure we’ll ever be in a position to give players too much of a run to find their form.

Bad post.

Locadia has pace to burn, that’s why we bought him. He is a forward, not a winger. He’ll only be on the flanks as part of a 4-3-3. March, Knocky & Izzy are much better defenders than Jurgen who simply ‘can’t defend’ according to Dutch commentators.

Megawrong this time buddy.

Locadia looked quality at Old Trafford, while March had a poor game. I suspect Locadia will start, and I hope he does.

Would that be the same March who skinned their full back and dropped a pin point cross onto the centre of Locadia's forehead?
