Wanna guess how his stats stack up compared to other players his age? Or even current and previous world class players when they were his age? That is such a bollocks argument, I can't believe it's even up for debate.
Funny also, that you should talk about Ronnie btw. Want to guess what his stats were in terms of goalscoring at the same point (three seasons in): 6; 9; 12 in all competitions. Rashford comfortably outperformed him with 8; 11; 13. Where Ronaldo went into overdrive, Rashford has yet to and probably never will - but you know what, I couldn't care less. He's a fantastic player in his own right, and he easily compares to any of his contemporaries not named Mbappe.
If you think otherwise, then the issue is with you.
Well if you say so.. His skill is a far far cry from Sterling, Ronaldo at the same age, Sancho(19) and even our very own James and Martial. Maybe people should stop judging him based on youtube compilations (which aren't that great anyway) and observe his:
- lack of comfort in receiving the ball and shifting it into an optimal position to take a shot, or pass on his first touch
- The resultant resorting to flashy but ineffective flicks as a result of not having the aforementioned touch
- Inability to cut in effectively and dribble in front of the defence to lash a shot in
- Inability to take on his man out wide without a ton of space and with more than the opposing fullback in the general area
- Zero holdup play when playing as a striker
- Poor ability to play effective 1 2s without sending the ball backwards or holding up the attack with a useless flick
- Mediocre finishing (decent shooting technique in general though)
- Zero heading ability
Do the above flaws sound like a 200k/week player, or even someone who should be playing in a club better than say West ham or Watford?
We are united supporters and should cheer the team in general and be supportive, but there is nothing wrong in observing a player's lack of ability, especially on a freaking discussion forum
