Today Marcus made his PL debut for us 6 years ago
Good god no. There is far less space playing down the middle than on the wing. He would lose the ball every time he got itI’d like to see him get some games as the striker.. will be nice to have some actual pace up there. May help him having less decisions to make compared to when he’s on the wing.
There’s a player there, it’s doesn’t just go away, he’s obviously just going through it at the moment.
He can't hold the ball, he's not physical enough, he can't head the ball well, he's not clinical enough to be a fox in a boxI’d like to see him get some games as the striker.. will be nice to have some actual pace up there. May help him having less decisions to make compared to when he’s on the wing.

I rated him as a talent but always saw some problems with his game, namely his hold up play and passing. I caught some flack on here about two years ago for arguing he wasn't very good technically - which I'll assume nobody is willing to argue with anymore. C'est la vie.He's obviously going through a horrible run of form but do people really think he's finished at 24? Or did many of you just never really rate him?
Something is clearly going on and maybe he really will never return to his previous best but I think he's earned a chance to try.
We done that before Cavani came, hence Cavani (and Ighalo) came. All he is good for is playing on the left and cutting inside to shootI’d like to see him get some games as the striker.. will be nice to have some actual pace up there.

We don't seem to be trying to find a place for him in the team, we seem to be trying to turn him into something different. He's a left winger and either you believe in him and play him there, or you don't and he'll continue to be an average bench warmer. Rangnick talking about "putting all his energy in" to "improving him" like he seems to think he's done with others (maybe Elanga?) in the last 3 months is a bit odd. Most of our players look just as bad or worse than they did earlier in the season tbh. Particularly in the forward line.Now we just seem to be trying to find a place for him in the team. Is he the boy that owns the ball or something?
he played a season up front and it was obvious he isn’t reliable as a striker that’s why he was moved out of that position to the wing - and to be fair to him, he wasn’t bad out on the left until his injury. He just seem to have lost form and can’t find it back. He might, sadly, end up a back up player that can be brought on as either a winger or a striker.
Anyone that says that Rashford is ‘finished’ from a career point is wrong.He's obviously going through a horrible run of form but do people really think he's finished at 24? Or did many of you just never really rate him?

And had no options apart from running forward with the ball. Not a single runner with him. Of all the players to blame today, it ain’t him.In general I understand why he gets all the critisism. But today he saw the ball two times. He had no chance to get into the game. It's irrational hate for him in here now.
Not even sure he writes that shit.I mean if you’ve come on in a Derby with about twenty mins left, it’s a good idea to probably just run and try a bit to make it look like you give a shit.
Anyway I’m sure a fantastically worded apology is currently being written for his Twitter account.
Exactly, I think he touched the ball twice, and on one of those occasions he had no attacking support within 50 yards. It was impossible circumstances.In general I understand why he gets all the critisism. But today he saw the ball two times. He had no chance to get into the game. It's irrational hate for him in here now.
That's how I saw it as well. He's been bad for some time now, starting and off the bench but can't say much today as we hardly had the ball in their half anyways. What's worrying is that these days when you see Rashford on the pitch, you don't expect him to do anything meaningful anymore. We were shocking in the 2nd half and then Rashford and Lingard as sub options were underwhelming.Agenda peddlers already here I see.
Rashford had a good run and cross and one bad run where he collided with a few defenders. Other than that none of the forwards got the ball in the final 25 minutes of the game.
