Rank the Fastbreakers

[Desert Eagle]

With Amads winning goal starting off with a 2v1 with him and Garnacho, it got me thinking who is actually our best duo 2v1. Which pair of players do we think would end up with the ball into the back of the net more times than the others;

1) Rashford/ Bruno
2) Garnacho/Rashford
3)Rasmus/Garnacho
4)Bruno/Rasmus
and plenty of other combinations.

I'm going to go with Rashford/Martial providing both are fit and on form. They have a good understanding and have that elusiveness to get a shot away. Gimme the experience over the youth right now. Who would be you top united fastbreak duo?

 

[girish]

I thought his had something to do with Ramadan.

 

[Dion]

Rashford + 1, it definitely used to be Martial but maybe now Hojlund.

 

[Regulus Arcturus Black]

I thought his had something to do with Ramadan.

 

[tenpoless]

Garnacho Rasmus

 

[Partridge]

Top ten fasting Breakers? tough list. i know a few though.

 

[Scandi Red]

I thought his had something to do with Ramadan.

 

[Scandi Red]

1. Ammar Ramadan
2. Ramadan Sobhi
3. Mohammed Ramadan
4. Ramadan Ramadan
5. Ramadan Mohamed

 

[tomaldinho1]

Maguire + Lindelof

 

[Based Adnan]

Jonny Evans x Tom Heaton

 

[CallyRed]

Normally an Iftar box from my local chicken shop. I'm not even a Muslim but its peng.

 

[Zlatan 7]

Garnacho and rashford

 

[Brightonian]

Rashford-Hojlund.

This is one of the things Garnacho will get better at over the next two seasons. Currently he's not always clinical in these situations.

Bruno is the one you want delivering the pass to release the 2v1.

If we're talking raw capacity, funnily enough Martial is probably the best of all. But since he can't run or play football he's probably not a sensible pick.

Amad, for what it's worth, saved that 2v1 after Garnacho's under-hit pass in a way I wouldn't have bet on any of our forwards to pull off. We've seen so many well executed breaks this season ruined at the end by daft things like that.

 

[Annihilate Now!]

I thought his had something to do with Ramadan.

Yep - I was thinking Amad is our only one!

 

[arthurka]

Rooney and Ronaldo

I agree Garnacho needs to work on it, he still gets his feet tangled up too much.

Rashford and Rasmus would ideally be it but they haven't really had good chemistry so far. Maybe the stats say otherwise though

 

[UnrelatedPsuedo]

Hojland and Garnacho. Best finisher with the best ball carrier.

 

[Desert Eagle]

Rooney and Ronaldo

If we're going all time then it starts with Yorke Cole. Ole teddy, ruud Saha, Rooney rvp

 

[JJ12]

Garnacho Hojlund Neto

 

[diarm]

Being effective on the break is about more than pace and technical ability. It's about knowing what pass to make and when.

Rashford is too selfish to be a great exponent of the counter. Garnacho is young and improving in this aspect, but even at the weekend - I think the reason Amad had to break wider, was that Garnacho gave him a pass intended to be passed back, rather than putting it into his stride perfectly.

Watch Rooney and Ronaldo from 2006-2009 for the perfect pairing. Two players who absolutely filled their boots with goals throughout their careers, but who would give perfectly timed and weighted passes to ensure a counter was executed in the fastest and most efficient manner possible.

For a team who want to play this style of football, I wouldn't say any of our squad are great at it yet.

 

[Eric_the_Red99]

I just think that having two or three players with genuine pace on the pitch at the same time makes all the difference. It’s so much harder to defend against when a quick break involving multiple players can hit you from anywhere on the pitch.

 

[Kellyiom]

I thought his had something to do with Ramadan.

Very good! Made me laugh anyway.

I choose 3) Garnacho & Hojlund

 

[FrankWhite]

This is interesting, I wonder if there's a conversation rate stat out there for this. Of our current crop, I'll pick Bruno and Rashford. Garnacho is still not there for me. His timing of runs, dribbling and finishing need to improve. In a year's time, I'll expect him to be better than Rashford.
