He doesn't track back because of MySpace and we invent mental health issues for him because we prefer that narrative to drawing the conclusion he's a bit crap?
He can have mental health issues & be crap.

Utter nonsense from this post.

Great if it does happen, but that’s part of the issue with Rashford. He’s a patchy player who either goes on bursts of goals or he does absolutely nothing because he’s quite crap in the buildup. Very similar player to Son in that regard

I don't think anyone doubts his talent tbh and it takes a lot of talent to score a goal like that against opposition like City - But imo the little glimpses of talent we see don't mean we should keep him long term, I would personally rather have a player of Luis Diaz's profile. Well done to Rashy though, hope he scores another in the 2nd half and hope he goes on to score/assist a few more goals from here till the end of the season - That consistency is what I'd love to see.

Still manages to embarrass himself the day he scores goal of the month.

Yes a great strike, but apart from that he’s been absolutely hopeless again. Hope the goal doesn’t gloss over that fact.

Typifies this team really. Plays in moments but is consistently shite outside of said moments.

fecked 2 good quality chances and gifted it to City for their goal.

Hopefully PSG were watching the first 7 minutes and decided to switch over.

It will. If a hundred touches are awful but one scores a goal, people only focus on the one.

We are being completely outplayed and and only chance of scoring is via counter attacking. Rashford scored on one of them.
I think people are being incredibly harsh if they are expecting more from him given the opponents.
Kyle walker is a fecking nightmare to have breathing down your neck.

Its not as easy as it looks.

Expecting a so-called star player on £350k to do more isn't really being harsh tbh

It's quite easy when you're an elite athlete like Rashford purports to be.

Put your body on the line and make him actually foul you to get it. Dont jump out the way as soon as he brushes your arm.

The only reason Walker is winning all these duels without fouling is because Rashford is preemptively leaping away so he doesnt take any hit.

What else do you want from him in this game? Walker is a absolute freak of a right back. Rashford has scored out of nowhere basically and is covering a lot of miles.

Have you ever played football before and cam relate at all to what I'm saying? Forget about the money and so called star or whatever.

Drury and Neville are saying today would have helped Rashford's position with England.

You really can score and do fk all else, can't you?

Dont think it will anyway.

Dozens of better English forwards now.

Best goal of his life and partly because of how rubbish he is, it counts for nothing.

Scored a goal out of nothing, fair play. But hopeless other than that. This is not to blame on him though, such poor defending from our midfield, Lindelof and Varane all game.

Haaland even worked far far harder than him. He’s a shadow of the player we actually need if he is going to be a talisman. Way below the level of grit and determination required. That’s before you look at the fact he gets cleaned every single time he gets the ball against a good full back and then he walks back. Shocking the way he’s been let turn into this
