[Escobar]

So if Martial is fit, that LW role is his for sure. Sancho to the bench it seems, the weakest link currently

 

[Olecurls99]

Looked a force of nature that half.

Has he got his pace back? It feels like that's the fastest he's looked in about 2-3 years. Did a knock and run past a defender and burned him in a manner we haven't really seen since his first few seasons in the first team.

I thought this too. It looked like 2018 Marcus. We need him

 

[MinGin]

His partnership with Martial would be 1+1>2

 

[Pogue Mahone]

You’ll never see a better version of Rashford than the one you see after he’s scored a goal. I just hope the club has sports psychologists on our books who are able to get him into that same mind set from the moment the game kicks off.

 

[ZupZup]

It's like every time he has played on the left this season he has looked great and got goals. Moved to the left against Liverpool, scored. Moved to the left against Arsenal and then scored. Played on the left in the second half last night and was our best player and scored two. It's clearly his best position by a long distance and he never looks comfortable as a striker because he needs to play with the game in front of him.

It's frustrating when so many people slate him and write him off for how he plays as a striker when it's clearly not a good position for him. He can offer this team so much when he plays in his best position. Likewise, Martial is miles better as a striker than he is in other positions.

He is the most frustrating player since Nani. He can obviously finish as most of his goals are nice finishes. He is quick but barely seems to sprint nowadays. He can dribble and I have seen him link up really well in build up with Martial in 2020 but then he started just trying to do it solo anytime he was around the box. I feel he only gets up for some games. Liverpool, he had the juice. Then he plays a blinder yesterday after being benched. I feel like he doesn't try every match and has lost hunger. Almost like he thinks he has made it and it has gotten to his head. Then when a fire is lit or he plays Liverpool he plays like he is on a red arrow on Pro Evolution Soccer which adds to my frustration

2018 Rashford was still much quicker on the ball. He's still lost his agility, but he's always maintained his straight line speed.

 

[red woppit]

He shouldn't play as CF, he is terrible playing that role. He is completely different player as a LW, even his runs are very good from LW.

Martial and Rashford was our best combination post SAF, it's always good to see them linking up. Martial as CF and Rashford as LW should be the set up, Rashford or Sancho based on form.

I think Rashford and Martial complement each other very well, constantly swapping positions, and giving defenders a headache. If Antony can start to work with those two we could have quite a fluid, exciting front three.

You realise he was very obviously rested yesterday rather than being “benched”? He’s probably the first name on the team sheet at the moment and our most consistent and important player. 8 GA now in his last 6 matches - directly involved in every goal we’ve scored when he has been on the pitch.

They have a great understanding. Both in good form would be a huge plus, it just does not happen too often. Let's hope both are now fit for a longer period

This is the most sensible front three at the moment and I’m quite excited about it. Will also pressure Sancho into upping his game hopefully.

Agree - it would be great if we had hungry players on the bench who could come on for whichever front player was struggling most.

 

[Green Yellow Red]

Hint. I’m not Marcus Rashford

Scored in 2 games in 6 games in the league and all of sudden he's leading the charge for club and country?
Hint: Calm down don't bring unnecessary spotlight to the poor guy. He really needs to find himself before he finds his football.

What are you on about. You tried to be smart with your initial reply and just looked silly. Now you’re doing it again.

 

[Swiss_Red89]

How is this handball and the one from Saliba today isn't? that's laughable

 

[Based Adnan]

Disallowed in the end so doesn't really matter but he needs to be squaring that to Bruno for a tap in instead of trying to round the keeper. Got lucky with the ricochet off Pickford.

 

[MyOnlySolskjaer]

Thought he played very well. He should have got an assist for that cross for Casemiro, great desire shown for the disallowed goal. Should continue as our LW.

 

[AjaxCunian]

Robbed of a goal.

Nice to see him being selfish in that position, it shows his confidence is returning.

 

[Annihilate Now!]

Should have come away today with a goal and assist

He's easily our best left winger

 

[BarstoolProphet]

Way more direct than Sancho, which is what we need with Antony hogging the line and lack of pace from our strikers. Shame he was robbed of a very good goal.

 

[Cantona_7_]

He looks fit and were unlucky with his goal, but I think he takes weird choices all of the time.

Like what did he do on the Eriksen freekick around minut 60 staying 5 meter away from Shaw instead of beeing in the box. Right after he try to shoot from 20 meter when Ronaldo is free in better position to his left.

Alot of the time he just strolls in the middle of Everton players not really pressuring anyone then out of the blue he suddenly pressure when the rest of the team does not, I wonder if is Ten Haag asking him to occupy those areas on the left because he seems out of position alot.

 

[3KDré]

Miles better on the left, I have no idea why he thinks he's better up top. I think it's just goals he wants and he think he would get more of them up top.

 

[BorisManUtd]

He's earned back his position in first 11.

 

[charlenefan]

He's never scored against Everton, should have known when it went in VAR would find a way of taking it away

 

[Andycoleno9]

Played well on his natural position. And his desire is back again.

 

[Borys]

The lady on BT said it was a nice finish what made me chuckle.
Overall I like his intensity, he's super fit and super fast. Not very effective but an OK game.

 

[saivet]

Unlucky not to have a goal or assist. Thought he did okay today generally. Far from a great performance but some good things there.

 

[EtH]

Working for the team well again and some decent interplay as well. Encouraging stuff.

 

[Mmm-Qatarian]

Don't know why you guys are giving him so much credit, I'm frankly infuriated that Rashford didn't decide to amputate his arms before kick off. Doesn't care enough...

 

[Yorkeontop]

Folks are always acting like the team is ready to ditch him, like he's the last problem remaining. Can we hold off on that for now people?

 

[RORY65]

Unlucky with the disallowed goal due to the stupidity of VAR but it's good how fit he looks, he's played with injuries for a long time but right now he looks really quick and sharp.

 

[Herman Toothrot]

Belter of a player, not a better feeling than seeing him play well.

 

[Luka Mora]

So glad to see rashford working for the team instead of playing in his own world like last season trying to force things, and trying to dribble past 4-5 defenders. He's now passing and moving and making the right runs. Was gutted for him the goal was ruled out because he deserved it. Made himself a threat, while putting in some nice crosses and tracking back retrieving the ball on several occasions.

His best position is definitely on the left, was so much more dynamic. He's really starting to turn things around after being written off by so many.

 

[Scottynaldinho]

Good game from him but his reluctance to go for the loose balls does my head in. It's such a basic attribute to add to your game.

 

[EtH]

Also a peach of a pick out and cross for Casemiro in the first half. Should’ve been a goal. Has a quality cross on him. Good to see him getting his head up and utilizing it again.

 

[Jordan_mufc]

Am I the only one that thought he was poor?

Decent link up play, poor going forward, offered little in the press and was losing loads of his battles

 

[edgecutter]

He actually took on some players which was refreeshing. Unlucky with the goal

 

[Amar__]

His link up play and passing was great. Very unlucky for the goal, but I thought he was easily our best attacking player. Also the only attacking player who showed up in the second half.

 

[Van Piorsing]

Deserved that goal, his aggression starting to reach satisfying levels.

 

[sammyhol]

I think it’s now clear to see what player we have.

limited with back to the defender. Decision making with passing in transition is always going to be iffy at best…his all round game has got big holes.

but…

an absolute must start for us. Our only wide player who consistantly creates options for through balls with line splitting runs and outright pace…. And when put through is pretty good 1 on 1.

Sancho and Antony too similar… never go outside 1 v 1, and Antony benefits from being able to cut in on his favourite foot from the right.

personally think Sancho might end up as a No10
