hopefully we can get 20 mil for Sancho so we can get Saint Maximin
Is Rashford better than the likes of Saint Maximin?
- Thread starter pocco
- Start date
The problem is with Rashford, as it is with many England players, that once you reach a certain level of recognition and status in the game, you stop being questioned. Your ability isn’t questioned because, how could you be bad when you have played for England so many times!?
It’s too long a phase now to say he hasn’t regressed as a footballer. He has no weight of pass, no vision, no end product and makes the worst decisions I have seen from an attacking player in the PL (possibly bar Traore).
He needs moved on in the summer. Players like ASM (although he has his own issues at times) currently offer far more, because at least they don’t shy away and make themselves available.
He needs a serious wake up call, because he just isn’t a good enough footballer.

Better? At the moment he is far worse.
Interesting to see come on looking to impact a game where we’ve not kept the ball well.
There is a squad number at Salford just waiting for Rashfords name to be next to it
Even a shit traore was looking like messi compared to rashford.
Has turned into a brutally bad player.
Hes a terrible player who seems to have totally squandered his talent.
A PR exercise of a footballer, completely captured by whoever is around him. There is simply no way you can be a developing footballer who expends full time levels of energy with countless endeavours. Its become a mortal sin to criticise of course but his complete tapering off has coincided with his ascendancy as a PR machine which sums up United completely. Those in charge are probably delighted

Brainless and complacent like a lot of the others.
He needs to be shipped out. He can't even play simple passes now. ASM is way better but there are probably 20+ attacking players in the PL who would do a better job for us right now.
Feck all you haters.
It was a tap in. Put a sock in it.
Jesus Christ
Boom!
Shut this thread, fecking nonesense comparison!

Reanimiated this two week dead thread a second after the game 
someone sure was triggered by this thread.
someone sure was triggered by this thread.I mean, they switched over to the last few mins of the Newcastle game on my stream after our match finished and ASM took 3 players out of the game before laying it on a plate for Willock who missed it.
Not sure why people are so riled up at the comparison- ASM is a fantastic talent and I'm delighted that Klopp or Pep haven't gotten their hands on him (yet).
Redcad has a weird obsession with talking down ASM his ability. Same for Adama. Guess most here just want nice stats and dont care about the rest.
Many here didnt think Mane was good before Liverpool got him.... ASM could be the same and explode in a better team and tactics that suit him. He sure has talent.
Tap ins are what Rashford desperately needs to bring into his game.
I find it infuriating that we write our players off so quickly and put opposition players on such a pedestal.
Rashford is a fantastic talent and we’re lucky to have him, he’s just in bad form and off the back of that, our impatient fan base has decided he should be binned.
It’s not the first time we’ve had threads like this, the last one about “bursting his bubble” thankfully got shut down.
1. He's been in "bad form" for around two successive years now. I don't think fans are impatient for losing hope.
2. Being in "bad form" means that you try harder off the ball to compensate for your mediocrity, it doesn't mean swanning around like you are a Messi/Maradona hybrid without bothering to press or track runners. His refusal to even try to go for the rebound against Villa was genuinely an insult to the fans.
That being said, I was much happier with his off the ball work ethic today. Long may that continue.
I maintain it’s bad form and we’ll see a resurgence in the future. Personally, I’m not writing him off yet and believe he’ll continue to be an important player for us.
ASM still way way better than Rashy. I am a great Rashford fan but that's how it is currently.
7th for minutes per goal in the PL this season. He’s had a couple of shit games in a dysfunctional side, but is still ticking over.
Can’t wait until he’s fully firing on the left. Boy, do we miss his runs in behind. No-one else at the club has them.

I would say his bad form has been about 2 months not years, he was our second best player last season behind bruno, struggled in the last couple of months with injuries. I don't think his form was ever really bad he just wasn't hitting the heights of the early part of the season where at times he was ripping it up.
He has then come back after surgery into a struggling side trying to regain his form and fitness gone through a manager change and hasn't really got going. His not going for that ball against villa that he was never getting anywhere near anyway was more of a confidence issue, he convinced himself he wasn't getting there, a confident player would go for it irregardless.
Hopefully that goal and that moment today will be like a shot in the arm for him and we will begin to see his best again very soon, because the team could do with a fully fit and firing rashford.
I am pleased for Rashford (again) but I do feel as though it lends credence to what I have always said - excellent sub to bring on when the game gets stretched but near pointless against low-block sides.
Again though, it really comes down to can our manager and coaches figure out when, how and where to use him to get maximum output - because Ole and Jose both failed to do so regulalry

Rashford is head and shoulders above the likes of ASM and Adama for one reason. End product. Marcus knows where the back of the net is!
Who do you rate?
Rashford is head and shoulders above St Maximin.
Rashford has shown quality At the highest level, SM really hasn't.

Maybe bring a sub has given him a kick up the arse that he can't play shit and start every game. In fact I would keep Elanga as a starter and bring him on from the bench. His speed at the 70-75 min mark is what's needed at that time.
I think him and Greenwood have poor decision making (i.e. both are a little stupid) and that's definitely something that can be fixed.
They are both the same age, Rashford is clear of ASM.
People forget Rashford has put up numbers for the last 2 seasons as well, without a "coach" as some would say.

This is the problem with the Rashford defense force. It's not all about goals in football, especially when he's a rubbish striker.
His performances and ability to contribute to chance creation have been poor for at least 1.5 years. We have seen what happens when three people who all want to score and take shots play together - it doesn't work.
Read somewhere the other day that his form seems to be coinciding with his relationship status with his long-term girlfriend. Interesting theory. Has he simply been depressed?
Talks about winger/wing forward and calls him rubbish striker, and this is the problem with Anit-Rashford club.
Wow, good thing I don't spend too much time checking in. Can't believe this thread even exists.
ive been very critical of rashford (and still am), but i like him as a super sub to come on and change the game when legs are tires. would certainly prefer him to saint maximim in that role for us. if im being honest i dont think either are good enough to be automatic starters.
