We love to overrate one of our own players, this thread still pales to the 'Would you rather have Martial or Messi?' thread which received overwhelming response in favor of Frenchmen.
And his drivee is almost obnoxious, at the moment he is upset because Tuchel wants to keep him fresh and substutes him at the end of games.
Not on this place. You would never think Redcafe was supposed to be a collection of Manchester United fans reading here. In fact, you only need to go back a few pages in this thread to see that Rashford has earned this new conversation, it was not always the way. In fact, there was another thread comparing the two which I believe was locked on the grounds of ridiculousness.
When did that happen?
It swings towards both extreme, depending upon players form. Rashford goes from a championship player to Mbappe level player in space of few weeks. Perception changes quick but a good run of form skews it to the higher end.
At the end of Martials' debut season. You can read it hereWhen did that happen?
There's no guarantees he would. Rashford is not someone who produces no matter the conditions, he doesn't have that kind of ability so far. He was poor and getting absolutely torn to shreds in here when Martial was injured and he was the only source of hope. It's only a recent patch of form that's got people excited by him now, but in the beginning of the season, no one was seriously looking at Rashford as a top 5 scorer in the PL.
Yep. Strong, tall, fast, really direct and an eye for goal.
Neither Salah or Mane made top 3 though, with better stats as well.
His technique has improved, he can beat players from a standing start - apart from Pogba, I don't think there are other players in our team capable of that. He's timing his runs really well and loads of commentators are at pains to explain that he's making great runs throughout games without his teammates picking up on it. There was a period where he was clearly trying too hard and shooting from crazy positions and angles, but he's pretty much our most dangerous player and he's presumably been playing for months on end with ankle problems and a back injury. He's definitely special. Not Mbappe special, but Mbappe is the heir to the throne.
Mane being 5th was a travesty. He should have been at least 3rd, Ronaldo had no business being in the top 3
This year they should.
Okay sir.
They’ve made the same amount of appearances same goals, Salah has two more assists, and both have a couple of players who have outscored them, Aguero and Vardy.
An important but continually overlooked important aspect to a player.
Messi has ruined you buddy.
It has never been overlooked, that's what people mean when they highlight a player decision making, vision and reading of the game.
And yet players like Rashford are accused of having poor decision making despite his apparent progress compared to others before him, or physically more limited players like Blind aren't recognized for it until they are gone.
If Rashford decision making has been criticized then your point about it being overlooked is clearly wrong, it means that it hasn't been overlooked you just disagree with other people's evaluation. And Blind's intelligence was recognized by many, lets not make up things, of course some didn't see it that way but that's true for everything.
Lukaku?
Rashford has more skill. Mbappe just uses his better hence the higher IQ.
Na, the he could have scored there is Rashford in a nutshell. He is a monster of a big game player but we would he looking at Ronaldo numbers if he took advantage of every great attacking situation he finds himself in.
This is exactly why I criticized him after last game. He's very close to being a very good player, and considered world class around the world, but not quite there yet because of what you've described.
Why is it not feasible that the PL would be a harder league overall compared to Ligue 1?
Good post - but what did I write that's not true? It must be one of the following:
