looked scared and timid on literally any 50 50 ball. The wages we are paying him and ronaldo are just crazy to think about. Enough to bring in literally anyone in the world who could actually play as a number 9

 

[JTRI]

I really want him to do well but that was a brutal performance, he killed nearly every attack he was involved in. I hope we don’t regret not bringing a striker in.

 

[Adam-Utd]

the moment where he ball watched on the back post when ronaldo put it across goal and eriksen beat him in a sprint to the box…. just wow.

He seems to be really struggling with stamina and more importanty desire/instinct

 

[reddevilchennai]

Worst player along with Elanga.

 

[Hammondo]

Shite. Looking forward to fixing our attack (was not the only bad player), we need better players.

 

[EngimaMK]

He's been terrible for so long now.

 

[elmo]

He did not lost his pace. He's not willing to run so much for whatever reason, but he's absolutely rapid. Not going for headers also. He just looks disinterested most of the time.

The answer is probably that Rashford and Bruno still had a lot of energy, they have high stamina level. Sancho is done pretty quickly, so is Eriksen. IMO this is key for ETH.
I honestly think Ronaldo will either not run or he will be subbed at half time on current form.


This. Rashford IMO feels too comfortable in this team, I hope good competition in either position will give him a kick. Otherwise it will be time to move him.

Because Rashford is doing piss all when on the pitch. Really hope the Anthony signing would drop Rashford to the bench because he doesn’t deserve to start at all.

 

[Bastian]

Oof. He's just terrible isn't he?

 

[roonster09]

Decent first half, poor second half. Only reason he gets so many mins is Sancho's conditioning is so poor that he can't run beyond 45 mins.

He should be on the bench, shame our CF options are so poor.

 

[Hugh Jass]

Cannot start as a striker again.

 

[charlenefan]

I can't defend that performance

At least he ran about when he was moved left though, he just doesn't press at all when playing through the middle

 

[Andycoleno9]

I can forgive bad touch, bad movement, bad decisions because he is not striker.
BUT the fact that one ronaldo went in dozen aerial duels and Rashford didn't jump on any bloody high ball is just pathetic.
I am now done with him. If he doesn't have desire to play football then he should feck off

 

[Jev]

Didn't think he was that bad. Assisted the goal, created another big chance for Sancho with a good run and cross. He lost it a lot after the break but still had some good moments like the well-timed through ball to Ronaldo.

 

[talking robot]

When Antony is integrated into the team, he needs to drop to the bench. Would rather see Elanga as the number 9 if Martial isn't available and we need a speedy threat. Just doesn't work enough and too many attacks through him break down.

 

[Vidyoyo]

Frustrates me to watch but I don't think it's his fault, he just isn't that good at the technical side of the game

 

[redNATION]

Do we not have any decent academy strikers? Really rashford is a massive weak link and the reason we could miss out on top 4.

 

[Relevated]

Absolutely rubbish

 

[JeffBoomTetris]

Shockingly bad. That was tosh. He lacks technique which can be forgiven. But he just couldn't be arsed to do basic pressing. Bruno & Eriksen were doing his job at times.

 

[BerryBerryShrew]

He's infuriatingly careless with the ball and for a player who seemed to fancy himself as Neymaresque, his touch is woeful. I'd start Ronaldo over him through the middle (although when fit Martial would be first choice over both)

 

[Zen86]

Looks confident again. Much better than what we saw last season.

 

[Ole90+3]

Didn't think he was that bad. Assisted the goal, created another big chance for Sancho with a good run and cross. He lost it a lot after the break but still had some good moments like the well-timed through ball to Ronaldo.

Nah he was very bad. Lost the ball countless times. He’s becoming a liability again very quickly.

the main difference between this season and last is that he looks like he actually gives a feck but he’s still not a very good footballer

 

[Annihilate Now!]

I thought he was actually good in the first half. Some very decent passing and obviously got that assist.

Don't know what happened in the second though... That was terrible.

 

[GMoore23]

He's an average player with pace. Only suited to playing for the underdog hitting on the counter. Not what we or any other top team needs.

 

[Longshanks]

Bit of a mixed bag, some good stuff some not so good stuff, never been convinced he is a CF, looked better of the left, hopefully martial returns soon and rashford returns to his best posistion.

 

[InspiRED]

I'm sick of it, sick of being positive during the odd outstanding performance followed by this sort of shite. I thought he was a standout in noticeably more negative attitude than his teammates around him. What goes through his head when he sees his teammates busting a lung to get after the ball and try to win the game? That second half, that zone he goes in where he jogs towards the ball and then so fecking sloppy in possession over and over again, not able to execute passes a forward at a top club should make 9 times out of 10. He was the main reason we couldn't keep the ball in Leicester half in the second half and then to see him doing that Rashford 'non-event' zone. He just seems so comfortable being rank average, I don't understand it.

Hard to see how we can compete with the extremely good teams at the top with that kind of quality up front. Hope Antony is the first step in phasing him out. Good assist in the first half, but we need to phase him out. Enough is enough, he is just not good enough.

 

[Borys]

I think he was better, but still not good enough.

 

[Real Name]

Had a good 1st half, few nice passes and link up play, looked up for it, played in the 2nd like he was drunk though.

 

[Based Adnan]

He just cannot be trusted to take care of the ball. Very difficult to maintain attacks with a player like Rashford in the side.

 

[Carl]

Really becoming clearer and clearer why he thrived so much initially under Solskjær, and its because we were a pure counter attacking team. When he needs to play even with his back slightly towards goal he's very very poor.

 

[shamans]

Simply not s striker and simply not good enough to start once Antony starts playing.

One of the most overrated players we've had. Don't get me wrong he has his uses -- counter attack..

 

[eire-red]

If he plays, it has to be from LW. Ronaldo and Martial should be the options for the CF role.

Rashford can affect the game from LW but he has none of the attributes required for CF.

 

[Carl]

Had a good 1st half, few nice passes and link up play, looked up for it, played in the 2nd like he was drunk though.

He didn't. Fair play he got an assist, but every other attacking move he was involved in broke down because of him. He was bad.

 

[el3mel]

Yeah no, he's not recovering. Will never be the old Rashford again.

Should be relegated to a bench option only.

 

[clarkydaz]

Shockingly bad. That was tosh. He lacks technique which can be forgiven. But he just couldn't be arsed to do basic pressing. Bruno & Eriksen were doing his job at times.

thats the thing, in a top team it cant be

 

[Leftback99]

Really bad, but he isn't a striker. Mourinho told us, Ole ignored it but soon realised the same, now Ten Hag is doing it again. Why?

His hold up play his horrendous and there is no point in playing a high ball towards him at all because he won't even challenge.

 

[Van Piorsing]

Decent assist.

Not really his fault the board still refuse to push for vital striker and is happy with declining options.

 

[11101]

We're desperate for Martial to return, and I never thought I'd say that. He doesn't have anything but the ability to make runs in behind. Gave us very little out ball today.

 

[Kostov]

He was horrendous and should not play as striker.

 

[Idxomer]

I don't think he was that bad but the first 90 seconds in the 2nd half just sums him up, one terrible decision after another.

 

[cj_sparky]

Kudos for an assist. But the rest of his game was woeful.
