Of all the players to criticise over the last few years, Rashford would be near bottom of the list for me. Sure he misses chances (all forwards do) but he gives everything for the shirt and seems to actually give a feck. Really don't understand some of our fanbase going at him, I auto ignore anyone calling him Rashford these days. Pricks.
If he becomes a bit more clinical, he's going to be a brilliant player. He's nailed on for 20 goals this season already!
That depends on the yardstick. If the yardstick is andy cole, ruud van nistelrooy, drogba, henry then yes he's too far behind. But for an academy youth who's debut is an accident and comparing to where he is now he's doing fine that lad.Of all the players to criticise over the last few years, Rashford would be near bottom of the list for me.

All the players you mentioned though didn't really develop into exceptional strikers until their mid 20s though. Most of them only started scoring a decent amount of goals at 22. If the complaint is that he shouldn't be starting and we should have a top quality senior player instead then I can understand that argument to a degree. Where the argument falls apart is when the same poster(s) want us to give youth a chance. It's hypocritical nonsense.
Hey. I'm not complaining about rashford... never... i think. I think he's doing fine. We just expect unrealiatistic from him
Exactly my point (and i'm not having a go at you).
Like him far more from the left behind Martial, looks his natural position, defo on for 20 goals in all comps no doubt.
None of them except Henry played in same position. Even Henry was striker than LW.
Haha agree mate, seen some bloke having a pop at Garner, he has had one start haha unbelievable mate really is, he frustrates me at times Rash with his decision making but that will come.Of all the players to criticise over the last few years, Rashford would be near bottom of the list for me.

I’m sure when LVG put him there it was to accommodate others so I would say he was a good example. Plus Rashford and Martial would be much better players now if they had a further two years of his coaching.
You get the gist. They're player that beyond reasonable doubt have proven themselves to be EPL legends, or at least veterans.
Thought this was about Rashford. Also I pointed out that as people just compare their goal scoring records without considering the positions they play.
I wasnt even talking about goals.
He cant lead the line, and doesn't ever look effective with his back to goal/holding it up. So absolutely, off the left or in a 4-4-2 with him and Martial upfront is where he should be utilized.
I disagree. Granted, Rashford can be a bit to greedy at times, but so far this season there have been a complete lack of penetration from midfield, partly because no one has been willing to carry the ball forward and create room for others, and have just resorted to passing it sideways or made a pass that has put a teammate under huge pressure.
As someone who remains Ole out, I guess my thoughts on the game are that is was great to watch but my fear is a big part of why we looked so strong is because of how Brighton play.
Because, time and not talent makes you a great manager. And sitting next to Sir Alex. Duh!
Let's be fair and call a duck a duck. How many times this season has it been so obvious? If it's not the majority, then I think it's fair for people to have been critical. If the results change, and the performances are consistently better then it's only fair the negativity shift to optimism.
Yeah not just based on one game mate, been banging on about giving Ole time for god knows how long and have taken a shed load of abuse on Twitter because of this haha, which is fine, thick skinned and all.
Not asking for that at all mate, gotten to the point now where fans are wanting us to get beat to get rid of him, have no interest in him doing well, feeding the Glazer agenda "oh he's only in the job to be a puppet to them, he is a yes man, his tactics are this and that", some of the stuff on social media is disgraceful.
Ok understood, I was just going off that post. Allegri is also a no from me, just a senseless managerial appointment.
Yeah 100% mate, yeah Sheff United won't be easy, very good side at home and it will show us where we are, always two steps forward one back, got Bournemouth/Newcastle written all over it, hope I'm wrong haha
Is Pogba back? Hopefully he scores a worldly
Re: Rodgers - Leicester were already an up-and-comer (sort of, in a weird way) last year. People were already saying they were one of the teams ready to make the next step. And so they have, for the moment.
Seen they have taken his cast off today, not to sure as Ole did say after the International Break and in and around December so hopefully not far away.Is Pogba back? Hopefully he scores a worldly
If it's anything like other times he's said a date we'll be lucky if he's back before Jan
Haha yeah defo, I would be shocked if we seen him before mid-December personally
Not at all. By trying to carry the ball all the time, we run into two or three of the opposing players and lose the ball. In the mean time our other players are busting a gut to get forward and they break against us. They must pass at the right time. Passing does not mean playing back or square. The first goal Owen was spot on. Perreira should have passed it before. The same with the a couple of Rashford attempts. It was almost a certain goal or a glaring miss if he had passed a few times instead of trying to shoot himself.
Maybe if it can be replicated in many games... the glaring issue is that Brighton didn't exactly sit deep against us so we're yet to see the solution for that. Hopefully we do though
Hopefully mate, help with Pogba coming back at some point as Andreas/Lingard/Mata in that link between attack and defence don't provide to much creativity.
Fair enough about the goal, that was pretty lucky in the end, but attempting a shot from that range is no disaster either.
They're not the young players people they want. Some would much rather have the youngsters who they've never actually properly seen play get game time instead.
The three of them need to be shipped out and replaced with players that can actually make an impact off the bench. Being able to bring on players that can change a game is key to any successful squad.
How did they not sit deep? They had higher possession owing to United playing on the counter after half time but they barely even played any football apart from a 5 minute spell.
He's shared the dressing room with top players in his career. He knows a good player from a dud. I pretty much expected Lingard to be dropped in favor of James before the start of the season. I also expected Sanchez to hardly see any game time this season, and he's gone as well. Smalling was our most senior CB, he's English but that didn't stop Ole from letting him leave.
Think with them 3 they have only really played as not much alternative. Shaw being Shaw and spending months on end not being available so Young has had to play at left back obviously that might be less now that Williams has taken his chance.
