Pack it in. You view your player's form over a season, no? Every forward has tricky spells over a season. Every player. When the angle is 'he's shit', it's easy to find spells to back up the data. When he performs, it's 'a purple patch'. I'm no Rashford fan boy but to write him off, or indeed any United player, when we're in our current state is nonsense, particularly after last season. He's not the guy who's going to single handedly pull the team together. He's been poor. Cas has been poor. Shaw was poor when he played. As was Martinez. Bruno gas been brutal. Dalot. Varane. Everybody. Do we bin them all? I say we take a deep breath, try to sort out a system that gets us a bit more organised, keep grinding out the odd result, welcome back the walking wounded as they reappear and hope everyone starts playing themselves back into form. Rashford has still been possibly our most dangerous player. He hasn't taken his chances nor made the most of good situations he's created but he's still finding himself in there. I'd like Ten Hag to take him out for Garnacho in games rather than rejigging the whole front line but I'm certainly not ready to give up on him.
Not sure what you want me to "pack in." I've simply stated what happened last season. We're discussing consistency but can't talk about the entire first half of a season? It's yourself who's not judging an entire season.
When you say a bad spell what timeframe are you talking about?
I reckon his form dropped off massively Jan 2021. Between then and now we've had three good months. That's not just a bad spell.
