Technically shite, like.
this has nothing to do with technique though, i mean it helps when you have good technique but i know plenty of skillers that have a pretty poor one. Its just practice and repetition, i guess you can say that about most things in football but what i meant, its much easier to learn skills then to improve your first touch, weak foot etc.

PS: the skill is :drool:

That's all part of experience though. He's so bloody fast that he feels he can outrun everybody, even if it's just a small space. I actually love that he runs at players and commits them, I don't mind that he might lose it every now and again.

Eventually though he will learn when to take people on, or to recycle the ball to keep possession.
I agree. So much potential with this kid

If they practised their touch and weak foot as much as their tricks, they would be just as good. People act like a good first touch is natural, sure some people have a more natural "feel" for the ball, but it all comes with honing that skill like anything else.

Being 2 footed is purely through practise as well. Nobody is born with that skill, some people just practise more and feel more comfortable.

If this was the YT vid of an 18 year old we were linked to for £30M people would be creaming.
Yeah, we have excellent young player and hopefully he gets the game time next season.

Those backheel passes are excellent and very effective too.

I am not sure why people call him /even consider him as technically poor !!...

His flicks,turns works most of the time . This guys is a real goal scorer . He can make space for himself , knows when to move , positioning is already top notch , he got the deft touch that will take you away from defenders , he plays as an experienced pro with his flicks and turns which works majority of the time and he is only 18 !!...

Damn I feel too old

there is of course more than one factor of technical ability, he's got a bit inconsistent first touch at times and the ball isn't just glued to his feet all the time but apart that he's got nice skillset and with all the confidence and pace taking on players it's going well for him, I think the incosistent touch is partly due him to going from U18 to senior football in three months, there is much more running in senior football so it is normal that he feels a bit tired and the ball bounces off him on some occasions, still think he's amazing talent and with proper preseason under his belt he will come to the next season even stronger.. 18 yo, he has all his career ahead of him, fecking huge space for improvement while he already is a great player useful and effective palyer. that's just awesome

I think its tiredness, hes has a very good touch usually. Also Martial also miss controls the ball a bit too but I doubt anyone would say he was technically poor.
I call it overly harsh criticism tbh, I mean if he is technically poor what the hell is Rooney

Probably because he's a United player or English or both.

I get the feeling a lot of people don't really appreciate the level of talent we have on our hands with Rashford at the club. He's not just another run of the mill academy talent getting games and doing well. He looks the real deal and best striker in his age group. Top top talent. If Mourinho keeps him in the team then he should have the golden ball sealed for next season as well.

I agree that you can improve your touch and weak foot but my point is that is much easier to learn skills then it is to improve other technical tools.

If he can keep out of any serious injuries I can definitely see him being a 20+goals a season striker. He will get couple of assists with his flicks and holding up play.

Should have started instead of Sterling IMO but certainly should have been on 20 minutes sooner than he was.

He was great the little time he got in this Euro. Giving him 4 mins here is a joke from Roy.

Yeah, he was great in that 5 mins or so. It's ridiculous that he only got 5 mins though.

Welcome to the crushing disappointment of playing for England, Marcus.

Another great cameo. In his 5 minutes cameo, he's done more than Kane, Alli, Sturridge, Rooney and Sterling put together. Should have been brought on much earlier.

Hodgson a massive cnut bringing him on with 4 mins to go. How has Sterling who has been out of form been starting ahead of him? Kane has also been complete shite.

England had one shot on target in the second half and Rashford still couldn't get on.

You don't bring a player on after 85 minutes to change the game. You bring a player on at 85 minutes to see it out. You can't do anything with five minutes to go, it's pointless.

Terrifying potential and to think that we got laughed at by the opposition fans when said he should have started ahead of both Sturridge & Sterling.
