Bad game, I guess vultures will be back tonight if they're not already.

Was very poor today and should have been subbed. If he was playing injured, then you can forgive that. His decision making was utterly awful. Very selfish. Will be a much better player when he improves his decision making and realises when to keep it simple and play others in.
Hyperbolic language aside? Does it really need to be on a literal plate? Well, the same game against Everton he takes on and beats defenders and puts the ball in an area where an Everton player put it in his own goal before a United player could. My memory isn’t too great the actual assists he has admittedly.
He’s second on assists and has more goals than the next three highest scorers combined. I’d say on balance the decisions he makes are paying off a lot more than they aren’t. One more Marcus Rashford and we wouldn’t be sitting whining about our first dropped points in months.
I think for me there's a huge difference between a player having a bad day in front of goal or something, and a player consistently making shitty selfish decisions and fecking up the basics. The first part happens as it's football and no one will have every chance come off or every finish be on point. The second part is unacceptable though, and that's more of what we saw tonight.
I get the impression that he played a killer through ball to Eriksen for the goal and on a couple of occasions he made the wrong choice. I don’t think he should be buried for it. Particularly when it seems fairly obvious he wasn’t fully fit. I also think a player carrying our attack to 9 wins in a row should’ve earned a little more good will. Foolish, I know.
This shouldn't be very difficult to wrap your head around. He didn't have a horrible game, and there are wrong decisions that can be made in a split second. Ignoring your teammates when it is blatantly obvious that a pass is the best option to create a scoring opportunity, and deciding to try to take on 2-3-4 defenders because he wants to keep his scoring streak alive, is a different thing all together and CANNOT be excused.
Exactly! It’s just how bad he was that’s at issue. A few played bad but, none stunk out the place to the extent he did. Body language not great either!
I’m not going to jump on his back straight away about tonight. The whole attack was crap. Garnacho was the best attacker when he came on and he couldn’t really get into it either. We made Palace look good and let them grow into the game way too much. It was a weird nervy game from us given the attacking resources at our disposal. I thought McT coming on made us give up any control we had on the game and we looked to hang on and counter too much.
You’re right. feck what you do in every other match. Sell him now. He’ll be lucky if Wolves are interested. Am I right?
I don't agree. I'm a huge fan of Marcus and even continued to believe he would return to form after that horrendous last season, but it was a poor and arguably selfish performance from him. He has rightly earned good will, no-one is asking for him to be sold or what not after that performance but at the same time, people shouldn't be expected to overlook how dreadful that performance was.
I genuinely think he has the talent to be our talisman and amongst the better player in World football in his position, but to get to that level, he needs to work on minimising games like these. Thankfully, I think we have the right manager to help him do so. He simply needs to be better, especially in the club's current circumstances, because the majority of our success will rely on his output, so he needs to ensure he's making the right decisions whenever he can, not trying to force shit - because I believe that's part of the reason he looked so poor last season.
You might hallucinating cause I can't see where I said sell him. What he did tonight is inexcusable no matter what he's done up until this point. You cannot cost your side points this way and if it takes a spot on the bench against Arsenal to get the message across then so be it.
Hes been superb all season, hes allowed an off night. I do wonder if hes fully fit.
Just wow
Some of you are absolutely pathetic
Pot kettle
If all it was is a bad performance where nothing came off, that's when it should be overlooked because of everything he's contributed. This was not, however, "one of those days".
He's absolutely allowed an off night, but this wasn't an off night.
He was our biggest threat by default of being our fastest attacker and obviously our game plan was built on the counter. He had two big chances in the first half because of this, but he seemed to forget he was supposed to shoot and instead looked like he wanted to show how he was so much faster than the likes of Rodri, causing him to massively overrun the ball at least once.
I said I felt Garnacho could hurt them also and he did.
Goal record got into his head.
So selfish tonight

I agree he was poor and was selfish on occasion. I disagree with the notion that being selfish isn’t something every great goalscorer in the history of the game hasn’t been also been.
I think the takeaway from the night should be that if we lose Rashford to injury or poor form then we are fecked because there is nobody to pick up that slack. People can fantasise about Martial and what difference he could’ve made but ultimately one player puts their body on the line for the team and one stays at home.

I agree and disagree. I think he was very selfish in his play, but I'm not sure it had to do with the pursuit of the record. There was times he was trying to play through Shaw etc. but it just wasn't coming off. That being said, if that was the case, I have faith in Ten Hag to get that sorted, because if Rashford wants to be 'that' guy for us, shit like that is inexcusable
Pot kettle yeah.
Just like the praise for Lukaku, Maguire, McTominay, Rashford...
When you have tunnel vision you have tunnel vision there's no helping it.
Poor night for Rashy. Nothing really came off for him.
Don't think the new look front 3 looked on the same page once all game which is probably to be expected.

He’s been in brilliant form recently but he didn’t seem fully fit tonight, thought he should’ve been subbed off for Garnacho earlier in the game to give him a bit more recovery time before the Arsenal game.
Oh yes.
Just wow

The vultures are definitely back.
Tunnel vision. That should be your tagline.
So I'm right? We are reliant on Rashford?
Despite his goal scoring form I still don’t think we’re seeing the best version of him. He doesn’t run at the FB as much as he did when he first broke through. Even when he has space, time and momentum he often slows down our play or makes the wrong decision.
You're not trying hard enough. Night!
You are all gonna die on this hill
Glad to know you agree with me then.
We don't know because of the 2-3 times a ball should have gone to a teammate instead of dribbling 3-4 players because he wants the scoring streak. Nothing else matters beyond that point
Of course we are. So long as he starts and finishes games where Garnacho only gets cameos, Martial is Martial, Sancho is AWOL and all our other attackers are on their debut season. Which is a fecking low bar!
Still played shite. Go to bed.
So what the issue then? That was my initial point.
You also say its a low bar. Just to remind you that Rashford is the most in form attacker in the league, meaning he's outscoring the lot.
Which hill is that?You are all gonna die on this hill
Find it very hard to criticise Rashford when he's been so good recently. Just an off night it happens to every footballer from time to time
Hence why we lost. Over reliant on the lad when we've spent so much on attacking players. Poor Marcus!
Night night!
The Rashford is amazing hill.
Some of you can't even admit when he's been absolute shit.
Not a surprise. His general play isn’t consistent and his bottom level is truly awful. Technically he’s sketchy.
That may be the case. Is there any positive posts from you recently referencing his good form?
He had a bad game and you couldn't wait to jump in here and revel in that.
There are miserable, negative posters and then there's you.
Those that are saying he was selfish today are correct
Those saying he’s in great form are also correct
I don’t think anyone is saying he’s shite, just that he had a poor game
