Maybe in minority here but I dont have any problem with players taking many shots, even from long range.
Agree 100%, he's not as good as people here seem to think.In fact, I think he was better when he first broke into the team. His best asset seems to be speed, being fast is great but not if your decision making and finishing is average.Ole relying on Rashford could be his downfall. Not saying he’s a bad player but he’s not the amazing prospect that the fans want him to be either imo.
Was about to say the same thing. He shouldn’t be modeling his game as Ronaldo, I think he should look at to someone like Eto’o. They both have same assets.Nail on head.
He needs to be as close to goal as possible; outside the box he suffers from chronic delusion. He should be modelling his game on Andy Cole, not Ronaldo.
Hilarious reply - ridiculing an opinion without offering any substance to the conversation, or even a single counterpoint. Well played.Hilarious post, in a bad way.
Look, I hope so. I just don't see it with Rashford. Would rather you're right and I'm wrong, though.In reality, both Marcus and Mason will succeed here.
Yeah these two don't have the natural chemistry that our academy lads have.Him and Martial cannot link with each other based on what I watched.
You'll love Bruno then if we sign him. I don't mind Rashford taking long shots either. He just needs to trouble the keeper more with them.Maybe in minority here but I dont have any problem with players taking many shots, even from long range.
Yeah, I think few are just in a hope that GK will spill one like Buffon did and that Newcastle keeper did.You'll love Bruno then if we sign him. I don't mind Rashford taking long shots either. He just needs to trouble the keeper more with them.

As long as he is not ignoring other players who are in better position to score, it shouldn't be a problem.
He was in good position to score. I said ignore his teammates and shoot from ridiculous distance when teammate is in better position to score.
Well he completely ignored his teammate in his goal against Leeds last week
Quite fortunate that he scored and he simply can't be making those selfish decisions in competitive games
Yes he is still young but he has had plently of game time under his belt
There is no guarantee that it will go in from his position but whereas his team mate there would simply be a tap in neededHe was in good position to score. I said ignore his teammates and shoot from ridiculous distance when teammate is in better position to score.
If that's the way then is no guarantee that he would have completed that pass. Defender might have intercepted it or with more time he would have blocked it.There is no guarantee that it will go in from his position but whereas his team mate there would simply be a tap in needed
No totally perhaps guarantee wasn't the right word usedIf that's the way then is no guarantee that he would have completed that pass. Defender might have intercepted it or with more time he would have blocked it.
There is no guarantee for anything on the field
He is a striker, he backs himself to score from that position. Also it's a friendly game and he scored but still people are moaning about it.No totally perhaps guarantee wasn't the right word used
He had plenty of time to make a simple pass from his position with no defenders close by
So do you think it's the right decision to shoot in a competitive game?He is a striker, he backs himself to score from that position. Also it's a friendly game and he scored but still people are moaning about it.
Anyone would have thought people would be praising him for that bit of skill and finish.
Yes. He scored which means he was right to back himself from that position.So do you think it's the right decision to shoot in a competitive game?
1 vs 1 from 8 yards out? Of course he was right to shootSo do you think it's the right decision to shoot in a competitive game?
I suppose it's easy to easy to say that simply because he scoredYes. He scored which means he was right to back himself from that position.
Maybe it's easy as saying "he should have passed the ball" by freezing the video when everything happened in blink of a second.I suppose it's easy to easy to say that simply because he scored
Anyway we clearly have 2 different views in this matter
His "middle shooting" and free kicks are not a strength or asset so should be curtailedYes he has to improve his decision making but he should still be taking shots. Shooting just has a low percentage pay off compared to dribbling for example. If we sign Maguire though Rashford winning corners could be crucial .
Very selective picking of wonderkids there. There are also quite a lot that were branded wonderkids who went on to have pretty decent careers. you know Wayne Rooney, CR7, Messi..I am going to leave my final thoughts. When I think of all the promising young players and wonderkids who were outstanding at youth level; Bojan(on the bench in championship), Carlos Vela (MLS at 29) Giovanni Dos Santos (mexican league) and then I saw the other day that Donald Love is at Shrewsbury, so you have to tip your hat off to Marcus for taking his chance and making the step up to first team and International football. He is probably better than anticipated from academy days but maybe not quite as good as he is being billed. I respect his hussle and he has done well and always maintain he can be our Pedro
That was the point. It's hard to make the step up and have a career at the top level. Bojinov is another one.Very selective picking of wonderkids there. There are also quite a lot that were branded wonderkids who went on to have pretty decent careers. you know Wayne Rooney, CR7, Messi..
Exactly. Game by game, minute by minute analysis is just annoying.This game by game micro analysis & black or white decisions on whether he's a good player or not is tedious as feck
Agreed. He didn't have a good game but it wasn't awful, it neither makes him a good nor bad player. And a much better or much worse game wouldn't make him a good or bad player either.This game by game micro analysis & black or white decisions on whether he's a good player or not is tedious as feck
