He's a chance creating machine.
Rashford isn't young. He's twenty-three. A player should be in his prime years at 23.
23 is prime years now? Since when? So by 27 is he ready to be put out to pasture..... I agree he should by now have enough 1st team experience to have corrected some of the less desirable traits in his game but he's very much still a young man.
I actually heard that Greenwood is getting too old.
If he played for Liverpool they would wank themselves silly over him.
The only player in the squad who is good enough to start in a title winning team.
He provided the corner for our 2nd goal. Almost got a goal from free kick. Another set piece went everyone thru and Harry could and should have the end of it in front of the goal.
I mean he is no Beckham. A guy can do only so much with set pieces. Even Telles did not have any good set pieces except for his first game.
I think people are just expecting too much that even prime Messi would struggle in the situation we are in.
I was really frustrated with him today. Not at his usual level. Scored a pen and hit the bar, but delivery was often pretty poor .
Could have been sent off early on for stupidity.
He tries though which is always good and fight in games.

No complaint at all from me.
The only one doing everything right, kept on going and came the closest to score.

I thought he was very poor, but Leipizig did a good job on him, didn't allow him on the half turn and doubled up on him forcing him into tight areas with 2-3 men on him. It happens, and we can't be solely reliant on him. If Bruno has a bad game, we need others to step up.
No Your prime years are multiple years. If you are a top-class player, you should in your prime by 23. I'll try not to name too many players but Giggs, Rooney, Beckham, Scholes, Keane. Don't confuse it with their peak year. I'd players prime is in the range of 22-30. Those physically gifted probably start younger (Giggs, Rooney, Ronaldo). If you're a smart player and remain healthy, it probably carries on longer. If you have both then you are a Messi, Ronaldo or a Zlatan.
I thought this was ridiculous statement at first but I think Scholes, Beckham, Giggs etc won the CL before they turned 25.
He doesn't deserve to play in EL again. Feel for him.
Luca Toni was 27 by the time he played in Serie A. This “one size fits all” model for a player’s peak is moronic.
Just want to point out that this is total bollocks, 26 onward is entering your mature prime years. Trying to act like Rashford isn't still raw at 23 and is a complete player is utter nonsense. To tie it in not being off topic, he has the best chemistry with Rashford imo.
Not to hijack the thread further. But shouldn't it matter when you came on to the first team. Rather than the actual age now.
I mean tomorrow if we buy Sancho or Mbappe or Haaland, we would expect them to hit the ground running and be consistent. Not wait for another 6 years before they show something.
I felt heartbroken for him when I saw his reaction to their third goal... just let down by the rest of the team. He deserves to be in the highest-level competitions competing for them for sure. He's one of the worlds greatest players easily.
Maybe in an alternate universe.
Calm down, he was playing for Sporting less than 12 months ago. They finished behind LASK in their Europa group, and went out in the next stage. Not saying he doesn’t deserve to be playing in the Champions League, but it’s not like he moved from somewhere like Bayern to join us.
Do we have a better no.10 at the club currently in your opinion?
Where he came from is irrelevant.
Nope
Fair enough then.
He gave at least 3 clear chances to Rashford and Greenwood to score, except they need minimum 10-15 to score one and against weaker opposition. Apart from that, almost scored a free kick, scored the pen and delivered some set pieces and tested the keeper on 2, 3 occasions. That's good enough. He's not the one that conceded 3 goals. If you have a quality and strong defence, you don't concede those goals and thus one single goal wins you the match.
I hope he has a clause in his contract that he cannot play in Europa League. Save the man's legs Ole, I beg of you.
He wasn't at his best against Leipzig and he still managed to create some good chances. What I'm really afraid of is that he will get fatigued and eventually injured since poor guy can't get some rest cause we are completely dependent on him. He deserves much better than Europa league and breaking his back while carrying the whole team to another comeback week after week.
I am a big fan of his. But why does he ‘deserve’ better? Where was he before United?
it’s a strange trend I see, where fans seem to want players to go elsewhere because it’s ‘best for them’, or they ‘deserve’ better.
Is he overrated? Well, some parts of his game are quite average and he's been in questionable form for a while now, but who cares? Every single game he creates multiple chances out of nothing. That's what he's here to do and what makes him head and shoulders our best player. A player who can have a bad game and still consistently produce is a rare thing. If that makes him overrated then i hope we buy more players like that.
He reminds me so much of Cantona, who was never the best at any single thing and often did very little in a match other than strut about losing the ball, all until he created the game winning goal.

It's not good enough, I know it , everyone knows it and yet 7 years after Fergie has left I'm still here reading 'it's not good enough, we must try harder' messages on social media.
So bloody try harder then.
If the hardest you lot are trying still results in elimination from the CL group stage then we have a massive problem.

He's certainly unique - there isn't many players around like him that's for sure.
It is odd how he can go from doing some frankly awful passes or balloons a shot or cross way off the mark, then in the next passage of play hit a perfectly weighted through ball or smash a ball into the top corner.
For me though as long as he delivers regularly I don't care if he messes a few things up trying. I'd much rather have that than somebody like Lingard who "looked busy" but never actually did anything.
Should be given the captains arm band for the rest of the season.
You start the knockoff game to move further in the CL full of ambition and after couple minutes you are 2:0 behind due to slapstick defending.... then 3:0 due to a brainf*rt.
And the guys you have to play with to get back into the game are mctominay, awb, shaw, matic...
What do people here expect? That he plays a 1:2 with himself? Digging the club ainglehandely out of the deep hole of ten layers of sh*t that the lack of coaching and the defense put us in? It's crazy he didnt give up after the 3:0.
With those 3 defensive brainfarts even Ronaldo and messi together would have struggled to dig us out.
It's like seeing a very talented kid growing up in a rough area you just feel with the right support he could become a great one but fear he might just not realize his talents.

I dont think we can blame bruno when Leipzig man Mark's him with 2 players and foul him everytime he could create sth. It's on the other players to utilize the space that bruno provides by attracting the double team.
Because right now we are a joke. Comical lineup and criminal defensive errors.

100%. He should rip into the defense for letting the club down.
An interesting comparison with KDB here

He’s overrated though, right?

That's one of my fav pieces of football this season. The touch to turn away and then play the perfectly weighted through ball.... Wow.
Still think he’s an average player undeserving of a spot here. bite.
KDB has other few players who are on the same wavelength as him, in Silva x 2, Gundogan, or Mahrez and Sterling (to some extent). It makes his job much much easier.
Bruno though... Rashford maybe, albeit the later is more of an outlet instead of partner.

Hes more erratic than the likes of KDB and Silva, who both play more safe where as Bruno is constantly high risk, high reward.
It means he make some passes and moves that looks utterly daft, but his numbers speak for themselves and him having a "quiet game" is simply not possible
Is the fear now, that you could lose him to a Barca or Madrid in the summer?
