@Regulus Arcturus Black Okay, I get it. You're actually just incapable of providing any argument besides listing awards. Third time in a row you've done so, while failing to actually highlight what made his season so excellent. "He must have had...

@Regulus Arcturus Black Yet again, you're just pointing to numbers or awards without any descriptive analysis of his game that made him "excellent". He was picked solely on the back of his goals, nothing else. Just like how these awards usually...

@Desert Eagle Excellent post.

@Regulus Arcturus Black I'd share some of your greatest hits, but there are simply too many contenders and not enough time. You also seem to basically live your life on the forum, so the amount of posts is staggering. I'll let you carry on life...

He was absolutely not excellent last season. His goal tally was really good, yes. But everything else was just as poor as it always has been. Running into dead channels, poor decision making, losing possession, misplaced passes, weak in the air...

And again, only focusing on goals, whilst completely ignoring every other phase of the game. This is surface level analysis. And you do this quite a lot

Only focusing on goals, though, instead of overall performance. Both Bruno and Rashford can net goals and assists while still playing poorly.

You must be laughing at yourself, because he is completely correct. This counterattacking, chaotic style is absolutely what suits players like Bruno and Rashford. All of their "good" performances for United have come when games are transitional...

Spot on. They'll need a year or maybe even two to figure it out. Unfortunately... There are so few people in football who understand the principles of control. Our only hope is Berrada does.

Good to know. Absolutely, this season can't end soon enough. And hopefully we can manage somewhat of an okay transfer window.

In all seriousness, I apologize for further derailing the thread. No sarcasm.

As if the thread hadn't already derailed? Seemed just as on topic as the last couple of pages. Anyway, I didn't try to make fun of your original post. Seems like a novel little contest. Just pointing out how the thread has just devolved into...

This is the most reductionist thread ever. Simply valuing players by goal contributions doesn't necessarily mean a lot. Rashford scored 30 goals last season. That was abnormally good from him, not denying that. Well done, pat on the back. But...

Agree. Our entire forward line is genuinely mid-table. That includes Garnacho, Rashford, Højlund, Amad, and Antony. Garnacho is a big talent. But he is physically weak, and mainly a transition player. Loses the ball and physical duels way too...

Exactly. It's so plain to see, yet our club and fanbase will keep on insisting we need to build around Bruno and Rashford. They are utterly detrimental to achieving anything resembling control and dictating tempo. Recycling possession is the...
