Are we allowed to talk about how shit Rashford is now?

Nah, I’m saying he’s been poor for a while because he has been. Nothing wrong with that.

There's always been excuses floating around for him though.
It's Mourinho, It's Ibrahimovic, It's the other players, it's the injuries.

Nope, it's just he has been very poor and I really don't think he is centre forward. But, in his defence, the way the team is set up is not helping him at all.

Confidence is also a factor. Bursting in on goal from the left yesterday, he tries to cut back and the defender easily caught up with him and dispossessed him. Wouldn't have happened 2 years ago

Nqat.

It’s why I’m not too worried about his scoring record, because like mid week showed he’s still getting into good positions. It’s his overall games that’s a bigger worry, but then I’d like to see him go back to basics and become more of a Fox in the box type instead of this poor mans CR7 that he’s trying to become.

You’re literally the first person in every match thread to wet your sheets as soon as he does something wrong.

“Rashers “ ad Infinitum

Like £#%&! are you fully behind him

The original Ronaldo in his pomp would struggle playing upfront with Mata, Pereira, James, Matic and The Scottish Player for support tbh.

Rather he was behind him than £#%&!ing Lingard

Nah that’s %@#$&!s.

I do the same in a match thread with all the other players too tbf

But as I said in the match thread on Thursday I’m behind him and think he got into some great positions and on another day would have bagged a couple. But when he’s shit I’ll call him shit

Good to know you’re still reading every post I make in every thread too pal, means a lot.

What should happen now is for the pressure to be taken off him by a more experienced (and better) striker.

Crazy decision not to replace Lukaku and that’s the bigger issue than rashers being out of form.

I think modern football has shown players reaching higher levels earlier. 21 is about the age a lot of forwards start to really find their stride, the most recent for comparison in England would be Harry Kane. An absolute nothing player until he got his chance as first choice striker at Spurs & then he bangs in ~30 a season for the next 5 years.

For the record, I don't see Rashford as a No.9 in the same mould as Kane by any stretch, he's clearly more suited to the Scouse type of modern forward that can play across the line - would help if he had been playing in that way for the last couple of seasons tbh but the repeated changes in management & style wouldn't have helped (except to show him mental fortitude which is equally important.)

We need better players, but Rashford needs to up his levels - his first touch, his decisiveness, his ability to find a team mate with layoffs & his runs are all still ridiculously inconsistent. That one where he loses control when bearing down on goal yesterday is an abomination for any player, let alone Utd's shining light on the wage he is. Thankfully he's shown real quality in bursts, work £#%&!ing hard & get some better players on the pitch & we will hopefully see him really find his feet.

He’s been poor for much of this season so...

Also doesn’t this prove the point that you can’t criticise certain players without being labelled a hater?

We all know that our midfield is poor and the players backing up the strikers are poor.

But £#%&! me let's not get stupid with the points we're making. Put ronaldo up front for us yesterday (i can't even believe i'm entertaining this £#%&!ing stupid argument) and we'd have scored 3. Simply because the @#%&! could engineer goals out of nothing.

If he plays like shit for a prolonged period of time then he deserves to be criticised like the rest of the senior players.

Fully behind him to turn it around because I do think he has the ability, but that won’t stop me saying he plays like shit when he plays like shit.

There’s a difference between criticising him when he plays badly and writing him off as being shit.

Seems you’re the one on the wind up.

Yeah fair enough.

Anyone doing that is talking %@#$&!s.

He’s been poor for a while, but has clearly got the ability and potential to become a very good player.

As illustrated by someone comparing him to welbeck a few posts up.

Ronaldo

& that's not even him at his peak, that's after 3 ACL injuries & him reinventing himself. He could still find space, & finesse a football with a first touch & dribble consistently.

Rashford needs to do all the simple things better & far more consistently.

It's a stupid comparison and one i can't believe Dunk actually made tbh. It's daft.

Rashford needs to do a hell of a lot of things a hell of a lot better. The proof, as ever, is in the pudding
