Reading the first few posts, it's actually crazy how long Rashford's form has been bad for. Getting to a point where we have to admit it's not just form.
It had already been almost a year since he had a good game at the time of this thread.Reading the first few posts, it's actually crazy how long Rashford's form has been bad for. Getting to a point where we have to admit it's not just form.
Rashford fanboisAn inferior squad where he’s the main man and doesn’t have every team he’s playing against raising their game because they’re playing Manchester United. I assume he’s having a good game today given a post from months ago is being quoted.
Please stop.Rashford’s heights as a footballer are better (I don’t think ASM would have the mentality/ability to score the PSG penalty, Chelsea free kick, possibly the Etihad goal) but if you average all of their performances it’s very close.
But the question wasn’t who had the better career. It’s who is the better player right now. Which is clearly ASM and has been for a bit now.Rashford’s heights as a footballer are better (I don’t think ASM would have the mentality/ability to score the PSG penalty, Chelsea free kick, possibly the Etihad goal) but if you average all of their performances it’s very close.
What?Please stop.
You're right, it is the worst time, and a couple games into a new season isn't an ideal place to do it either. He was excellent at the start of last season but didn't carry that out over the whole season. He is extremely talented, but he also has a lot deficiencies that he would have to improve on as well as overall consistency to take that next step up.ASM was sensational today. But one should never judge a footballer based on one game, especially right after it.
Rashford comes from Manchester United and is English. That is why he would go for more money, not because he is better than ASM.If Saint Maximin played for United our fans would be crying non stop about him. Put both on the market and Rashford goes to a better club for more money.
I think people blame that just because it makes headlines. Some players play a few hours of games a night, Rooney was our best player while having affairs, Ronaldo runs a mini-business empire. People don't blame those things because the players played well while they made headlines.The off field stuff takes up a lot of headspace. Wouldn’t rule it out.
Nobody has went for Saint Maximin. Why is that?Rashford comes from Manchester United and is English. That is why he would go for more money, not because he is better than ASM.
Dont think they would. Rashford does all the bad stuff without the good stuff. People would have crucified ASM a decade ago, nowadays most would be happy, seeing the dross we have on our wing currently.People would crucify Saint Maximin here - even today when he was brilliant he gave the ball away totally needlessly about 3 or four times just passing it blind to no-one. Its what he does - unpredictable, maverick brilliance combined with power and pace - but sometimes he can be gash because of it. Rashford just seems to have nothing anymore though. He looks a shell of a man at present.
Insurmountable logic.Rashford is way better.
First of all he's English. Second he feeds the children.
Case closed.
He also scores and creates more goals, outscoring AMS by such a big margin that if Rashford retires tomorrow he might still have outscored ASM by the end of both of their careers.Rashford is way better.

No club who can affort him needs a left winger?Nobody has went for him Saint Maximin. Why is that?
For three years? City spent £100m on one last season.No club who can affort him needs a left winger?
But this is about Rashford and ASM. They got Grealish who, when at Villa, was better than both. I never claimed that ASM is the best left winger in the world. If you wanted to buy a player right now and could pick between Rashford and ASM i would pick ASM.For three years? City spent £100m on one last season.
Wasn’t the feeding the kids thing, something that happened 2 years ago?Rashford is way better.

I'm not British and I've been in his corner since day one. I think it's that he's a good kid, at least that's what it is for me.I can't put my finger on it but it feels like it's also something down to the culture, the media, the pressure, the politically correct role model-image that seems to be the common factors. MBE, OBE and what not.
Also feels like that the british media and population alike have too much patriotism/national pride bigging up their own. Either that or they are simply deluded and don't understand how good the talent pool is abroad. Either way it gets painful when reality doesn't match the image.
