was it the pogba pass? pogba should have passed it to sancho who was in space and on right side to center it quickly, instead went to rashford who then delayed pass to center by cut back moves by the team opposition was in position to defend. These small things make a diff in games, unless its a robben type winger who can still shoot no matter how many times cut in its not a effective pass to wrong side playing wide forward. At the max rashford may get a shot into crowded players which then bounce back to dangerous positions for defence (where maguire is always slow to react)
If you look at the replay it was a tackle that rebounded the ball off Rashford i.e. he didn't actually dribble him clean so I don't think they give the first one, only the second take on.
yes he got luck with the ball there, he didnt trick the defence. Also something is wrong with him physically as he doesnt do basic things he used to do well before. Suspect is a case of physical decline coming in early, wise thing will be to ship him off reading the signs whilst stocks are high.
I do still think at 24 he can improve and be the player we hoped he could be consistently, look at Mahrez as an older player than Rashford is now when he was at Leicester and how differently he plays now at City. It's just a shame to see his natural instinct hasn't changed since he broke through and his natural dynamism and pace already seem less electric than a couple of seasons ago (given he played injured/half fit so many times the last few years I guess we shouldn't be surprised)
So you're making ridiculous statements basically on nothing but what you perceive. Once again, you have no idea how he manages his time. Being a footballer is his profession, he is doing his job to the required standard as if he wasn't, he would be punished by the club.
You're also making statements based on what you perceive. You also have no idea how he manages his time or if it's true that he couldn't concentrate on his football or have a lack of motivation. Regardless of that though, it shows on the pitch. Lad probably has so many things in his mind.
You can only afford one player like this in a successful team a player who always seems to make the wrong decisions.
Mahrez was way more productive at Leicester than Rashford has ever been for us though. He was insanely good in the title winning season, had a drop in form the next season (as did their whole team), but then had another great season before City bought him. Rashford has had one consistently good season for us, but he's regressed since that and only seems dangerous as a super sub at the moment.
You need to add the two midfield players and one of them or both are not performing regularly. So we have 5 players who can be passengers?
I still think the pre- back injury Rashford is a very useful player that can be molded into more just because he was so explosive physically that he could afford to be just average technically and in tight spaces. But watching him now it's like he lost that last 20% of explosiveness, and is now not quite as feared by defenders. So he has to rely on average technicals and is closed down much more aggressively which hinders any sort of effectiveness he had.
Very much this. People focus on how wasteful he is whilst ignoring the fact we don’t even create those chances when he doesn’t play. We create shed tons more with him on the pitch. He was also consistently making great runs in behind which nobody could fecking find.
No he makes the same run constantly, and is shooting at the keeper from absurd angles considered good now? We create shed tons more with Sancho and Pogba on the pitch, the creative influence doesn't come from Rashford generally unless he's receiving a long ball
.This only works if you count those impossible shots as chances. Partially hoping we get ETH so these overhyped players who only know hollywood passing and shooting can be forced to adapt to modern play or ride the bench. Where they need to adapt is realising there's such a thing as being too direct in high percentage chance creation systems. Ralf already indirectly spoke down on the shoot on sight style our players like to spam.
Is it a rule that to be a United fan that you must be a major pessimist?
His "contribution" for their equalizer needs to be talked aboutYep. Someone like Chelsea or Leicester would manage to fleece someone for at least 30 million. We'll just let him slowly fade into obscurity and loan him out somewhere and pay his wages.
