I agree his lay offs and one twos are good. His first touch, dribbling and overall control don't look that good. Reminds me of Costa with his style.
Your right it is unpopular, Rashford is technically very good. He is very good on the ball and without it. He's an intelligent player that creates great space for others. He can run with great speed on the ball and has scored a range of goals for United. Have you watched Rashford the last few months? His all around play is fantastic and he's only 18 and is going to get so much better in the next few years. I take massive offence to, as you call it 'hoof and chase'. There is so much more to is game. He's no donkey up front that can just finish, you make him sound like a league two player.Terrible post
Not to mention Martial.
Kane? He is slow as feck. Agreed that Walker has great technique when running at the ball. Never seen Rashford carry the ball over distance though.
This is a very blinkered post. His dribbling is to use his 0ace to beat his man. He struggles to control the ball and carry it without it hitting the wrong foot or getting tangled up in his feet. His first time passes and lay offs are great but his technical ability is awkward and often times poor.
Kane doesn't really look graceful does he ? Not saying he looks woeful either, just doesn't strike me as graceful when dribbling though.
You're clearly smarter than this. You don't just throw on all 3 strikers when you need a result. We unsurprisingly created zero chances after he came on & lost all fluidity.
are you sure you were watching the same match?I can understand your point and the reasoning behind it and initially it did seem like England lost some momentum after he came on. But strikers playing out wide is very normal in International tournaments, and England were clearly dominating the game. They needed the win and had to throw caution to the wind. The only alternative to that sub would have been Wilshere for Alli. Besides, Lallana doesn't usually last more than 65-70 minutes. Was a logical sub in truth.
Wales were camped in their penalty area. Tactics kinda go out of the window. All of Hodgson's subs worked.
I think Kane is clever in that he knows when to dribble, so he heavily relies on the opposition player's momentum to give him some space in moving forward. Rashford isn't a proper dribbler, but his awareness is just astounding. He almost instinctively knows, when to hold the ball up, when to bring others into play, how to bring them into play, when to take a risk. It's not always going to work in his favour throughout his career, but at this age, that's very impressive though. There are more than a few youtube videos of him at U16 and U18 level, his game was pretty unbelievable even then and that includes his dribbling skills as well.
It isn't a blinkered post at all. The lads just made his England debut at the age of 18 with a tonne of pressure so of course there's bound to be mistakes, but in saying that, he still produced more good moments than bad because he's an excellent prospect.
You're clearly smarter than the England coaching staff. Wait, no. You're not.
I'm just going off what I have seeno when I watch him. Every time I have seen him play he looks poor technically.
I will when the highlights come out.Why are you uploading a video of him against Australia when he just played against Wales?
And by the way his technique is fantastic. Without a doubt one of the most technically gifted young players in the world.
Blinkered post? No a blinkered post would be judging all his attributes in 17 minutes for England.I'm judging him over the last few months from watching him play. I don't need to glorify Rashford, he does that himself when he performs. Becoming the youngest ever player to feature for England at European championship next. It's infuriating to read posters making statements that haven't watched the player properly.
Fair enough. We'll just have to agree to disagree.
I think you are confusing his technical ability with his dribbling mate. That does look rash at times. Technically, he seems fine, maybe not brilliant, but definitely above his peers I'd say. Having a few poor first touches etc is pretty much expected at his age.
Hes not brilliant its not poor either. Solid 6.5 or 7/10 though. Loose first touch at times is the only thing, but his passing is fine as is his finishing, dribbling and striking of the ball.
