Everyone was poor in first half, him included. Livelier in 2nd half and scored an important equaliser.
It also shows how important it is for a footballer to be in the right frame of mind. He was brilliant tonight.Love this version of Rashford, guess it shows the impact of a top coach. My favourite thing is he doesn't give the ball away so cheaply anymore, and the aggressiveness and will to win is very apparent. Fantastic.

That'd be good to be fair, always think Rashford could emulate Son for Kane.He should be starting for England off the left with Saka on the right. Kane drops deep and interlinks it all. Foden at 10.
England forward line should be Kane, Rashford, Foden, Saka but I’m expecting Grealish, Kane, Sterling.Bang in form, should be starting for England over Sterling every day of the week but i'd rather he doesn't and rests up for us.
Hard to pick a motm tbh. Was a bit of a mixed bag from everyone.and was MOTM
He should hit 20 if he escapes injury... He'd already got 9 and we've only played 1/3 of the season.The balance and composure for his goal was world class. Seems proper up for it this season, and thank feck too. We're going to need him scoring 15-20.
We'd be lucky to get £20m for him!Another goal for Rashy. He's on course for another 20 goal+ season.
He's a championship player though apparently. Ha ha ha.

That's one of my favourite ones.We'd be lucky to get £20m for him!
His explosiveness is something else right now. When he takes shots, jumps, moves laterally, its at a level not many other does in this game.Thought he was electric today. He seems to have got that pace & agility back that looked to have gone. Its night and day from the player we saw last season.
The lad looks to be enjoying his football again, and it’s fantastic to see. I don’t understand how any United fan could not support or want Rashford to thrive. He’s everything this club is about.
Exactly how I would play it.He should be starting for England off the left with Saka on the right. Kane drops deep and interlinks it all. Foden at 10.
Is he starting to become a better striker than left sided forward? His duels are improving (when he goes for them), and that goal was brilliantly set up and taken.That heading to Eriksen, then use body strength to create space for his shot. That was very Nistelrooy. He'll have a very exciting season highlight video.
Nah he's still best as a left wide forward, he'll never have the hold up/back to goal play in his nature but on the left with Martial through the middle is a great mix. Left wide forward and a hold up striker.Is he starting to become a better striker than left sided forward?

Could be more goal if Fred released the ball a bit quicker.Is he starting to become a better striker than left sided forward? His duels are improving (when he goes for them), and that goal was brilliantly set up and taken.
He’s developping his aerial play at least. I think he has been more effective centrally this season, I think. Can’t back to goal awareness be trained?Nah he's still best as a left wide forward, he'll never have the hold up/back to goal play in his nature but on the left with Martial through the middle is a great mix.

You’re right about that. Fred is so frustrating. Brilliant against Spurs, next time he starts, he can not do a single thing half right. He had three seconds to hit that one option that was right in front of him. So frustrating.Could be more goal if Fred released the ball a bit quicker.
I don't know about him as striker, man. Sometimes he played like a proper championship striker, sometimes he scored really good goals. I think it will be a long shot to have him as a striker. I don't see it, but who knows.
Think that was just coincidental with Bruno being moved centrally and Eriksen coming on. Not due to Rashford himself. He had nobody giving him those passes in the first half.He’s developping his aerial play at least. I think he has been more effective centrally this season, I think. Can’t back to goal awareness be trained?
Ironically, with Villa’s ultra high line, this was the perfect match for Rashford the Left Sided Forward to exploit that, which Fernandez and Eriksen (!) showed. Yet Rashford shone more when he moved inside today.
To be fair to him a few times the midfield didn’t release the ball quick enough. One in particular with Fred taking a needless extra touch before giving the pass.Very nice goal. Can he please learn how to hold his fecking line on those runs from LW though.
Well according to him no. He Said he’s better on the left and that he has a lot of learning to do to play centre forward. It was actually a very good interview. I’ve slagged him off a lot but that performance and interview were excellent.Is he starting to become a better striker than left sided forward?

Agree can't blame Rashford for that, Fred had ample time to release the ball and there was nothing wrong with that run in particular.To be fair to him a few times the midfield didn’t release the ball quick enough. One in particular with Fred taking a needless extra touch before giving the pass.
It must hurt some that he is our best attacker this season. Man has done a job from the left and as a striker this season yet you had some being mad that he isnt effective from the right. Basically he should master the entire front line. Keep pissing them off RashyThe salt in some of the faint praise in here
With how the schedule is I won't mind a few of our players being used as super subs instead of starters.Bang in form, should be starting for England over Sterling every day of the week but i'd rather he doesn't and rests up for us.
I agree that we sorely lacked through balls with the set up for the first hour. Fred’s deep zen meditation private think tank commitee discussion with himself that finally released Rashford in abundant offside, illustrated that point beautifully.Think that was just coincidental with Bruno being moved centrally and Eriksen coming on. Not due to Rashford himself. He had nobody giving him those passes in the first half.
Don't think the back to goal play can be trained enough for what he needs tbh, his style is just not like that to really have that come naturally to him. But off the left it's almost like he's playing in a lopsided front 2 anyway.
Ah, I missed the interview. Maybe it’s just me, or maybe it’s the fact that he has been head and shoulders our best striker this season when picking from players that have at least one 90 m performance.Well according to him no. He Said he’s better on the left and that he has a lot of learning to do to play centre forward. It was actually a very good interview. I’ve slagged him off a lot but that performance and interview were excellent.
