Have you watched much of either? Just for reference is this is how we judge players now purely on goals, nothing else? Oh and only in the league too, CL goals don't count, assists don't count, cup games goals don't count.
There's only like 5 players in Europe with more assists than him this season.I'm not sure bringing someone's overall game into the conversation helps Rashford though. He is goals and his contributions largely end there.
He's definitely better than Antony but he still looks the same player whenever I watch the odd Barca game. It makes me appreciate our team of actual hard workers even more.
You're not wrong. I was just wondering if this is how we're judging players now 5 beats 4 so he's the better player or having the better season. If so Arsenal have a player called OG and he's giving Amad a run for his money this season.I'm not sure bringing someone's overall game into the conversation helps Rashford though. He is goals and his contributions largely end there.

"Not even in the top 10 for chances created this season" is a harsh way of saying he's 13th despite having drastically less minutes than everyone above him apart from Pedri.Still out of his 8 league assists only 3 are from open play. He's not even top 10 in la liga for chance creation per 90, whilst playing for Barca who thump teams given the variances in quality.
I'm not buying he's back to his best or even near, it doesn't pass the eye test and the stats don't suggest it either. Given his effort he'd need to be levels above this to consider bringing him back.
He was playing regularly for most of the first half of the season due to injuries to their entire frontline so this is a really disingenuous comment.Yea bloody shame so many people don't realize that a goal contribution every 90 and leading the side in goal involvements in the CL this season for a rotational player isn't actually a sign of being any good!

How many minutes does he have compared to Antony?He’s got 4 league goals in 20 appearances.
Antony has 5 in 17 appearances. Tells you everything you need to know. Antony who was massively out of his depth in the prem is out performing Rashford in the same league playing for a team which is significantly weaker than Rashford’s. The reach by some of you fans to raise Rashford to a level he’s clearly not at is funny.

Wasn't that one of the main issues people had with him though that he just relied on the counter. If anything you've got that wrong way round Rashford would thrive in a counter attacking team. Also when he played a Prem team this year he scored twice.Much easier to score in the champions league when the teams are open and give you space and you have 60% of the ball. Much harder to break premier league defense when you have the ball 40% of the time, you are expected to track back and track the opposition runners and then quickly counter.
Also much difficult to score of a couple of chance you get the whole game against the teams in the league.
Rashford is an average premier league player who can shine in the odd season, odd games. Now that the defenders in the league have figured him out, he isn't all that.
Once he loses his pace, his game is gone. Spain and Italy will suit him fine if he plays with the top teams there. If he was such an amazing player, he would be a natural starter for Barcelona. His game time just shows that he has better players above him and didn't deserve the 300k salary United paid for him to be the top man.
Meh. Chelsea wanted to buy Sancho too. Let's see if he accepts the contract they offer him. Will get excited then.
Article says it won't be activated until June.
Also says they wanted to negotiate the fee and possibly even attempt another loan. However, Deco is worried they won't attract anyone else for a similar price and that we won't budge further, and Rashford has also, allegedly, agreed to a wage cut.
Looks a decent deal for all involved.
Win win, more good news, put a bow on it and lets wrap this up!Article says it won't be activated until June.

The nerds over at r/barca have the journo whose story this is listed as 'Tier 4 - very unreliable'.
There are way too many who can’t see reason or middle ground with him. Both sides. I’m glad he’s doing well and I hope he earns that permanent move (pay up Barca). Wage is going to be a sticky point of course. But to put the stats into a bit of context, didn’t Ferran also have a crazy good season last year - like a goal involvement every 80 mins or less? I think Flicks Barca is just very attacking so they all generate very good numbers. Not to detract from Rashford though - sometimes a clean break is just best for all parties. I hope he’s at the World Cup and does well there as well.Yea bloody shame so many people don't realize that a goal contribution every 90 and leading the side in goal involvements in the CL this season for a rotational player isn't actually a sign of being any good!
I doubt anyone has compared the Rashford situation with Mainoo. The latter has remained professional at all times and the former didn’tI see so many similarities in this thread and the Mainoo one. The hate and anger, the perception of them as a person as being an individual with ‘attitude’. The hyperbole over their personal lives and bad performances vs downplaying good ones.
There’re other trends but I honestly can’t be bothered to list them as I don’t think they will be considered as some people seem unwilling to consider changing opinions.
Glad Mainoo still here and hope for the best outcome for Marcus and the club.
Odds onIs it the most obvious thing in the world to predict that broke Barcelona are just going to try to loan Rashford for another season without paying to sign him permanently?
I doubt anyone has compared the Rashford situation with Mainoo. The latter has remained professional at all times and the former didn’tsimilarities I pointed out were in how posters were
The similarities I pointed out were in how posters were expressing themselves in relation to 2 academy products with similar stories rather than the actions of the individuals. I believe reaction to both at times were overly negative and without enough context.I doubt anyone has compared the Rashford situation with Mainoo.

Don’t agree. Rashford supplied plenty of context making it known that he wanted out, through his words and actions.The similarities I pointed out were in how posters were expressing themselves in relation to 2 academy products with similar stories rather than the actions of the individuals. I believe reaction to both at times were overly negative and without enough context.
