If Rashford kept things simple he'd be twice the player
Me too. He only scored 31 goals last season so what hope is there.
He's lost the ball a couple of times in risky positions, but tactically he's been brilliant and he's given us loads of control by causing overloads in midfield and opening up the ball to the LCM/LW when Palace commit more player to midfield.Marcus ‘Neverpass’ Rashford.Mount screaming for ball but Rahford ignores him.
To be fair he did the same thing at Madrid for years: early yellow but manages to finish the rest of the game.Red for Case today perhaps
Just keep riding the last season bandwagon and keep your head buried in the sand.You know Rashfords going for goal when he’s around the box.Cas and Amrabat at CB in possession with Lindelof and Varane going high is not a shape I expected to be seeing, but the rotation in the first receiver spot is causing issues for Palace in these 2 games.Hojund too honest. Could have 2 men sent off there. Good to see.soft yellow for casemiro you know if it was palace player it wont be yellow
If at first you don't succeed...
Basically this. He keeps trying to 'be and look world class' rather than doing the things which would actually make him that way.
I mean this is just false.Hate to say it but, looking at the Hojlund chance again, he probably should have gone down, was clearly kicked around shoulder height.It's quite amazing that Ten Hag criticised Garnacho's performances when Rashford plays like this. And Garnacho had some poor performances.That would've been in if there was no Palace defender nearby. Love it when a striker has those instincts to just consistently hit the target from random, unlikely touches.I'm close to wanting us to experiment with an attack that doesn't include Rashford as a starter. Kills every attack. He could thrive as an impact sub.With Amrabat inverting, we have no one creating attacking overloads with Rashford down the left. Could do with Mount staying out a bit wider.Is there a vague date when any of our FBs will be back?Pass that, Rashford...Excellent press so farRashford again
And like clockwork, here you are with the Rashford commRashford is shocking
He was offside for a startAmrabat is making such a difference for us. He's always there both on and off possession.
...try not to succeed againCan we just drop rashford. Where have all the people gone that claim we can't be without?Brillioant run from Bruno in the middle, of course Rashford doesn't spot itRashford when he is good he is really good.
But when he is bad he looks like he cant play football.Mounts been very good so far.. need to just get it to him moreVery smart foul from Bruno thereSomeone please tell Rash that it's ok to pass every now and then, playing 1-2s of your teammates are a thing.Feck me, our forwards are dumb as brick.Rashford is killing us
And again and againWe are pressing quite well.Nothing against players trying to go in solo run then and there but this what Rashy is doing is rubbish.We've been decent but Rashford is frustrating so far.- Status
