How’s he expected to get the ball when he’s not making runs to get open? His dribbling isn’t good enough for him to lose his defenders in tight spaces because his technique is basically knock the ball ahead and use his athleticism to get ahead.Tbf to the bloke he didn’t have any service at all
Stop talking rubbish.Could play prime R9 up top with Antony and he’d still not do anything
He did make runs, which were rarely picked out. He was also one of the few in attack who tried recycling possession to build attacks instead of trying stupid things at the start.How’s he expected to get the ball when he’s not making runs to get open?

Still doesn’t excuse his poor work rate either.
So you compare the work rate of a player against one of the hardest working forwards ever? I can only think of Tevez as working as hard as Rooney for United. Marcus played out of position and his team mates didn’t play to his strengths. Fans should expect more from him, but it’s always harder for a striker to look good when he’s not getting any service, especially someone who isn’t actually a striker.It’s not harsh, it’s the truth. Rooney combined talent and hard work. Rashford isn’t even as talented as Rooney and his work rate is fractions of it. Piss poor from an academy graduate, you’ll think they know what it means to play for the club, but someone’s above working hard, especially when he got his big deal signed up.
Nah he makes stacks of runs off the ball, you just don’t see them when the camera is focused on the ballHow’s he expected to get the ball when he’s not making runs to get open?

Show me a chance created for him ….I’ll waitStop talking rubbish.
It’s because Rooney was the last top striker that played for us. You don’t even need to compare him with Rooney for Rashford’s work rate to be criticised. His effort is atrocious no matter which position he plays.So you compare the work rate of a player against one of the hardest working forwards ever?

Came here to say this, thanks for saving me time.Won't be too harsh on him given he's being played out of position, a position that accentuates his weaknesses.
Expecting Rashford to play centrally with tight coverage on him every time he's got the ball is pointless. He doesn't maneuver well in tight windows and spaces nor is he good playing with his back to goal, holding off guys. His inconsistent touch will always make sure he gives the ball away more often than not when he receives the ball while a guy is on him let alone multiple guys as he'd often find himself in that situation playing centrally.
Put him back on the left and take advantage of his ability to attack the space, especially in transition, that's his strength. I'm confident Rashford would have made a lot more of the opportunities Garnacho found himself in today while in transition with plenty of space to attack. It's really pointless watching Rashford give the ball away because his initial touch while being pressure from all sides is loose and playing centrally there is not enough space to correct or recover the ball quickly. When pressed behind and surrounded his touch will always be inconsistent, we've known this already. No point forcing it. Play him wide.
lets be honest, thats the only time he looks a threatCan only work in counter attack tactics. Once the opponent team tried to contain and sit back, he is useless. He does not have the trickery to go past defenders or intelligence to make the correct pass. 9/10 times he will lose possession.
I've posted the same thing a few times. He's not a CF and he never will be. I do think that, in the absence of Hojlund and Martial, playing Rashford up top is probably the best of bad options. He really doesn't do himself any favours with his lack of effort, though.Put him back on the left and take advantage of his ability to attack the space, especially in transition, that's his strength.

It's particularly irritating watching him press the ball carrier. He does the curved run but slows down the closer he gets. It's like he's trying to demonstrate Zeno's Achilles paradox. He refuses to run at or near top speed unless he's chasing a ball behind the defence.It’s because Rooney was the last top striker that played for us. You don’t even need to compare him with Rooney for Rashford’s work rate to be criticised. His effort is atrocious no matter which position he plays.
Coming off of a new contract with more money. Why isn't he putting in effort no matter the position? It's not like you're playing for a contract anymore so where you play doesn't matter in a personal sense, you're making your money. So I don't see how he can be so unenthusiasticTerrible footballing IQ. I don't think presenting yourself for a lay off particularly requires to have been playing for years as a striker.
Rashford plays up there like he is either really dumb, or he doesn't give a shit
I don't know the reason, I suspect something but I'm probably completely wrong.Coming off of a new contract with more money. Why isn't he putting in effort no matter the position?

In your opinion, so who cares really. Just another knee jerk poster going off after a loss. Maybe you could vent about the ref, as he was a major factor in the result.It’s because Rooney was the last top striker that played for us.
