Whenever Sancho gets the ball I always feel like anything can happen because he takes such good care of the ball and more times than not makes the right decision, whether it is to pass or dribble, with Rashford, I have had no expectation for two seasons now, I just don't see him as a threat to the opposition, I doubt any full back is ever worried by him, all he is really good for is running in behind the defense, I am trying to remember in my time of watching man utd a worse winger with the ball at his feet, I literally expect him to always lose the ball when he attempts a dribble, I have never seen him win a header, he always jumps but never wins it despite being about 6ft tall, he can never be a centre forward because his hold up play is diabolical as he always gives the ball away and can't link the play and it was appalling looking at the stark difference in threat level between him and Sancho when they swapped wings against Sothampton.
What on Earth has happened to the Marcus Rashford from the 19/20 season he was almost unplayable but now it feels like he has a twin brother who is playing in his place because this is definitely not the same player. I don't care that he scored a few goals last season, he was not the same player, all the threat he possesses is gone, and he is so easy to mark out of the game once the ball gets to his feet, all he does is kill all the attacks we have when he gets the ball, the only threat he provides is when he runs in behind the defence, but then except for the square pass for Sancho to score, he always shoots from an impossible angle and its always saved or goes wide, maybe if he squared it a bit more we might have not been in such a predicament.
I have been waiting for the 19/20 Rashford to return but Pigs will fly before that happens so I have lost all hope of that, and I always hear rubbish like "if he was coached by pep he would be so much better", I don't buy that because, I don't ever recall Pep coaching a player so technically deficient and plays with his head down 95% of the time and never looks up or is aware of his surrounding, Man City score a lot of simple goals because all their players are so unselfish but at our club, everybody want the glory and they all shoot instead of trying to set each other up.
Ragnick is a tactical coach and I feel like something must definitely be up that he was somehow willing to let all our technically better players leave and keep the more direct players and I'll count Lingard amongst the technical players, it feels like Ragnick is not in control and why is his boss Fletcher sitting on the bench with him, This whole situation is an absolute shambles, and If Fletcher is still sitting on the bench when the new manager gets in, then I bet there won't be a difference from what we are seeing now.
I was really hopeful of a top four finish but we are so unbalanced right now it is ridiculous, Ronaldo has never been a Centre forward, he always starts from out wide and goes wherever he want, and now we ask him to be a focal point of our attack, Cavani is counting the days until he leaves, he has already checked out, I never thought Mason was ready to be a centre forward yet but thats irrelevant now, and Rashford will never be a good centre forward, so this season is probably gone we might get lucky and qualify for the europa league. But we have to do whatever it takes to get Haaland next season because the £200 million it will take to get Harry Kane should be used to Fix the midfield, and if we don't get Haaland, its going to be a very long season
I'd carry him on my back to the potential lunatic to pay that price.
