We will be a far better team all around when he's gone. With and without the ball. Of that there is no doubt.
Antony, sadlyFantastic goal but can’t shake off the fact that he’s thick as bricks. I don’t think there’s anyone with a lower football iq in our squad.
Takes a special kind of player to score a goal like that and still have poor performance. That chance Bruno gave him where he head the ball on the ground, just horrible.Cracking goal today
Walker didn’t clip him? He touched him on the shoulder and Rashford immediately try to buy a freekick.Clearly fouled. Do you not understand that clipping someone’s foot when they are sprinting tends to make them fall over?
Great goal and should have done better with a couple of other opportunities. Feeding off scraps though unsurprisingly. Looked either knackered or slightly injured when he went off so hopefully will be ok for next week.
And I might be being slightly harsh with the word “directly” - we should have done much better all round, without a doubt.I know it's a good time to throw shit at him but can't blame him for that goal, foul or not he lost the ball at city's first set of ground. It's a wonder goal by Foden facilitated by Lindelof's soft approach
I wonder how many goals Rashford would've had last season then, if we'd had a good manager back then. 50 at least.fact is the manager is not at the level, and makes all of our players look worse than they have all looked into the past, at united or different teams.
His leg was clipped. The hand on him was when he was already off balance as a result of that initial contact. Unsurprisingly, he then fell over. Rashford obviously should be stronger in some scenarios but this was not one of them.Walker didn’t clip him? He touched him on the shoulder and Rashford immediately try to buy a freekick.

However, Rashford’s first thought of going down under minimal contact from Walker is symptomatic of his mentality. If he had tried to push on and make something of the break and then lost the ball, then it would have been more tolerable. But City’s attack came directly from Rashford’s own decision making - it’s an unforced error and sadly one of many.
I actually think Lindelof is more physical than him!You can't have a footballer who refuses to engage in any physical confrontation.
Never seen someone so scared of being touched in a contact sport.
we were better last season im not ducking that. it proves my point in a way - these players look good in a bad system and good in a good system. the system this season is bad - what has changed is the question and i dont know, maybe the players have just lost belief in the manager as has happened many times in the past, he isn't up to the job of getting them to perform, and has added too many poor players at extreme prices.I wonder how many goals Rashford would've had last season then, if we'd had a good manager back then. 50 at least.
Yeah and not happy about it, obviously. Rashford has been really poor most of the times this season and this game summed him up - capable of great stuff, but only shows it at times/moments. It's like in 21/22 season where his G/A stats weren't terrible but his overall performances weren't good enough. Well done on last season as he was great and his goals brought us a lot of points but this year it's been bad. I gave him 6/10 for today's performance solely thanks to wonder goal. After that he ruined 2 great chances and ended our hopes of going away undefeated.Nailed it!
It’s really weird, especially the way he shirks aerial balls at timesYou can't have a footballer who refuses to engage in any physical confrontation.

This is exactly when brave players step up and pull their teammates up. He plays a cowardly brand of football does MarcusHe's playing with no #9 and no left back. Can't expect that much more from him given how disjointed of a team we are.
Depends if we sign another Antony.We will be a far better team all around when he's gone. With and without the ball. Of that there is no doubt.
I thought with the goal it was a 7/10. Should have done better with a couple of half chances and made a couple of other runs where he should have been played in if the pass had been better. Tracked back well, kept the organised shape and was tidy in possession in the first half but struggled to keep hold of it in the second - looked either very tired or injured before he went off.3/10 including the goal
-4/10 not including the goal.
He’s a coward. Also lazy. Worldie finish though.Great goal, another awful performance. He's incredibly weak and pulls out of every duel. Him going down after being touched by Walker was downright embarrasing.
I also think he got clipped but it was only because he didn't want to play the ball and end up taking a tough tackle. He avoids any physical contact. Cowardly.His leg was clipped.
