You could argue that a lot of the xG have come form some individual brilliance from Martial and Rashford rather than waves of chances.

Agreed. Disgrace
Famous enough for you to recall though.....
No forward is a one chance one goal forward... But Cole was far more clinical then that Hoddle quote suggested.

Hoddle's quote was shite at the time, and is still shite now. What it failed to mention was that everyone else finished their chances at a similar or lesser rate.
Reminds me of Ronaldo.
I like how he dovetailed with Martial
He could have turned a good moment to a memorable goal by making a simple pass. People will forget this by the end of the month.
In the MOTD analysis, they showed the speed as he was running (For the chance James created which was headed away), caught 22.5 mph at one instance. Didn't know he went upto 22.81mph.
Completely different situation, when Berbatov beat the defender, he had just 2 more defenders defending, with huge space near the box with Ronaldo making the run from deep.
All he needed was a tap to Beans and he would have scored. It is always difficult to score from that angle. Plus Berbatov can do things with the ball most players can only dream about.Completely different situation, when Berbatov beat the defender, he had just 2 more defenders defending, with huge space near the box with Ronaldo making the run from deep.
When Rashford beat the player, he didn't have space or angle to pass. It was easy pass to intercept, unless he saw McTominay's position near the edge of the box, which is near impossible.
It would have been intercepted by the defender. It was worth a try (going for goal).
Difference of opinion. Beans had a better chance it he had passed it at the right time.
Beans is Rashford. If you're going to try mock their nicknames at least know who they are.
I don't think that pass was on or Lingard would have had time to score. It would have been intercepted by the defender and there was one more defender who was just behind Lingard.
Thank you. So much absolute shite talked about this acting like it was a simple pass for a free goal. There is no pass. It's a mash of people all in the 6 yard box, the majority of which are Brighton players. The only player who it is even possible to get it to is maybe Lingard who is then sandwiched between two Brighton players not even facing the goal and would have to pull off a world class backheel flick to do anything in his position. Likely of which would have been blocked by the 3 other Brighton players standing right there. There was no pass to be had and the far better option was to hit it low and hard and hope for a ricochet off one of the 10 people in the 6 yard box. This time the keeper got it, another time it'll be scrambled in.Completely different situation, when Berbatov beat the defender, he had just 2 more defenders defending, with huge space near the box with Ronaldo making the run from deep.

Footballers do not run faster than this.
Exactly. He tried to nutmeg the keeper and nearly did it. Keeper did really well in the last second, to close the gap.
There was no pass on, so no question taking the shot was the best option. You have to be some kind of weirdo to claim there was a simple assist to be had in that situation.
It's hilarious that whenever agenda posters are countered with those pesky things like "stats and facts", then the reply is always stats don't show the real pic
Jesus, I can't believe you had to justify that to someone but fair play to you. Good post.Completely different situation, when Berbatov beat the defender, he had just 2 more defenders defending, with huge space near the box with Ronaldo making the run from deep.

I don’t agree, if he scores there its because the keeper has messed up. A better player fakes to shoot and squares to Lingard for a tap in. And I've seen enough bad decisions from Rashford to know he didnt even see Lingard there to even consider the pass.Completely different situation, when Berbatov beat the defender, he had just 2 more defenders defending, with huge space near the box with Ronaldo making the run from deep.

If Ole tell him if he beat fullback to run in far post area, he must pass cutback & square when there's a player, it'll improve Rashford's decision. This is proper coaching, that's why other coaches like Pep can improve every player he has coached because they do what he wants them to do.
Rashford cant lead the line because he never raises his head. Similar to lingard they both enjoy running with the ball instead of playing quick one-two passes. On the wing its easier for him to be more creative because he usually runs a few meters before raising his head when he is clear of his defender. Before martial got back there were numerous times when rashford would receive the ball centrally and try to bulldoze his way through 2 center backs. It was pretty frustrating to watch. I think with time he should be more versatile when he learns to raise his head consistently.
Lingard don't shoot on sight, he tries to play one twos, making the runs but he just isn't good enough. Rashford's hold up play is not good, when he receives the ball he backs himself to beat the defenders, sometime it works, sometimes it doesn't. Anyways he is much better as left winger and no, he doesn't shoot on sight. He has very good shooting technique and it won't be surprising if Ole wants him to try those shots so that other attackers can pounce on the rebounds if GK spills the ball, like Buffon did.
James possibly holding back due to the latter part of the game, players can feel their muscles losing strength. He might have higher top speed in his locker.
Lingard does shoot on sight when he is driving towards the box. You took my word too literally. Ofcourse he wont shoot it from the halfway line like pereira for instance(worst offender). 9/10 times when he has to decide between passing to an open teammate or taking the shot at goal, he always goes for goal.
No, I'm saying completely different thing. Because his hold up play isn't good enough, he tries to take on defenders.
