Why is it that we are the only fan-base that seems to do this? Especially in a way that seems to praise one player by offending another.

People are already planning our side for next year based on 2 weeks of football post-lockdown; saying Martial will be on the bench, or Rashford will be on the bench for a player that we haven't even signed. Do Liverpool fans do this for Salah, Mane and Firmino? Or City fans considering the depth of attackers they have?

Just find this a very annoying thing from our fans in particular. Not sure why we can't just be excited about the young forwards we have. I recall times when we had Berbatov, Ronaldo, Rooney, Tevez and Nani as very positive despite the competition.

Rival fans probably do exactly that, it's just you don't spend time on their forums.
