1 - Rashford on the ball - Left wing. Donny in oceans of space. Rashford must find him. It's a simple pass.

2 - Rashford instead tries a needless low percentage pass to the right wing, which falls short to West Ham's fullback.
1 - Mason on the ball, Donny free in the box. Can Mason slide it through. Possibly.

2 - Instead Mason chose to shoot with a weak tame effort.
Donny graphic

This graphic shows that when Donny received the ball, majority of what he did was 1 and 2 touch.

This could be down to 2 reasons
A - His playing style
B - Lack of confidence

For me it's a combination of both.
Fernandes graphic

When Fernandes was on the field, he also played 1 and 2 touch but he also carried the ball more. This is where Donny can improve. Donny needs to turn with the ball when he does get it, and take more risk. He's fully well capable of this.
My thoughts!

He needs time to adapt to the league/ team. The team also needs to learn about his style of play. Intelligent footballer - possession based - play combinations and goal threat.  We should also utilize him at no' 8 to play to his strengths. He's fine - Patience.
Thank you for watching! 🔴

Hope you gained from it.

Donny will be fine, just a bit of learning and patience from everyone.

Spent days (my days off work) to complete this. Any like, comments, retweets will help me.
