How? Because we would have one of our best attackers unsettled?

We can play better as a team instead of him messing it all up. If Garnacho continues in this trajectory he will comfortably end up being the better player. Someone who actually wants to track back and makes the correct decisions more often will improve the team immensely.


And, contrary to what many believe he is just not that world class player you are hoping. Give him lots of space and he will be dangerous but when you have teams sitting deep(which they all do as soon as they get their fluke goal) he is mostly useless. That is why you see us reverting to counterattacking football. He is not suited to possession football.

Said it the Ten Hag thread but he did NOT look happy at the end of the game. Everyone was beaming except for his glum face. Ten Hag shaking hands with everyone as they come down the steps - even Van De Beek was smiling - Rashford just blanks his manager and barely shakes his hand, on his way with a most bitching resting bitch face.

His attitude and selfishness looks to be unchanged even off the pitch, it’s all about him that’s what it matters the most.

Cue the leaks tomorrow

 

[Abraxas]

He looks our most threatening player because we always try to force the play through him. It’s why our attack is disjointed and is far better when he gets subbed off for Garnacho. The defense can’t just concentrate on trying to bait Rashford into trying to shoot anymore and has to actually defend other players.

He really needs to learn how to play more as a team player and not try to be the hero. It’s the same with Bruno, every pass or shot by them has to be a gamble at goal when often the best option would be just to play the simple pass to someone else who’s open.

I'm not convinced the turning of the tide was much to do with Garnacho today. I'm not even sure it was attributable to Rashford coming off in any substantial way. Garnacho is very good when he comes on against tiring teams. But today I think the decisive factor really was our desperation and need for a goal and relying on the blunt force method of physical presence in the box and Brentford felt the pressure. Prior to that inclusion not much was very different.

I do agree that Rashford and Bruno can be very individualistic, though.

 

[FerociousCorgis]

Didn't get to see it personally but sounds like he reacted just like Ronaldo, pissed we won without him?

 

[Ali Dia]

He’s been shite this season again. The pity is if he was on top form we have a great supporting cast for him now. We just need him to do his stuff. Hopefully he turns it around asap. I definitely think there’s something going on behind the scenes. He looked so fit and driven last year like he’d finally matured and now it’s ponderous and lacklustre again.

 

[Born2Lose]

31 shots now in the Premier League and 1 goal.

No wonder our team goals are miles behind others when Rashford always goes for glory.

 

[amolbhatia50k]

Garnacho’s general play is already far superior to Rashford. If he can gain some consistency when he starts and improve his end product I can see him being first choice - on merit at least. Rashford general play is rubbish is holds us back.

Hmm, cant think why

 

[fallengt]

this is probably his level. Should've taken offer from PSG..

 

[hobbers]

His camp are probably due to start briefing about interest from Real and City any day now.

 

[HookedOnAPhelan]

Guess those of us who were skeptical to giving him that new contract were right after all.

He said he considered leaving the club last summer. Let's hope he'll consider it again.

Except this has been happening every single time Rashford is off the pitch this season. The team is suddenly capable of creating plays from other areas of the pitch and more people are involved. Once or twice it might be a coincidence, but it’s basically the story the entire season, we just look more fluid in attack with Rashford off.

Casemiro was equally as downbeat, it’s to be expected when their performances have led to them being subbed.

 

[Mr Pigeon]

That's a fair point. Just wish they could have some joy for their team mates but everyone's different.

 

[Maureen-yo]

Probably their egos taking a hit too. Struggled with them on the pitch and then won without them…
Sincerely hope they can both find some form during the break.

 

[redIndianDevil]

Simply not good enough. He’d do wonders for mid table teams who sit back and counter attack. Everton beckons for Rashy after a couple of years if he keeps going like this.

 

[Someone]

Think he'd benefit from some time on the bench. The more he plays poorly the more it'll get worse for his confidence. We're also at a point where playing him sends a very negative message to the team.

 

[pratyush_utd]

The amount of sucking up that British media does for Rashford is so irritating. There was a moment when Rasmus foul was incorrectly called when Antony had passed to him, the commentators mentioned that ETH must be wishing that it was Rashford instead of Rasmus. Commentators were expecting boos when Rashford was subbed off when infact there was a loud cheer and they suddenly changed the subject that it must be for “expectations from Garnacho”.

Garnacho deserves the run that Rashford had this season. He tracks back and contributes both in attack and defence. If Rashford is in first team lineup, then ETH has only himself to blame

 

[Sylar]

He’s shit.
the commentators on my feed were anticipating the crowd were going to boo ETH’s decision to be taken off but were red faced when actually the stadium cheered the decision

Yeah that was funny. They even said he was our biggest threat , which I guess in a way is true but a lot of that is due to his selfishness.

 

[Pscholes18]

If he would learn how to curl like a proper footballer should, he'd have lot more goals.

 

[HotOne]

He's never been good enough. Fed up of seeing him week in week out playing awful football, running down blind alleys. He's a Gabby Agbonglahor, a pace merchant and nothing more. He happened to come through the academy and make some twitter posts about school meals and became the media's darling, which has seen him get preferential treatment but he's not a very good footballer. He should be benched coming on when opposition defenders have tired legs, or be sold.

 

[jesperjaap]

this is probably his level. Should've taken offer from PSG..

I pray they look to make him the poster boy replacement for Mbappe when he goes to Madrid. Rashford £80m+ would be fantastic buesiness, lets face it we have had two youngsters infinately better than him come through our own club, there are a few in the England squad and several others around Europe, for a star player, really dont think he is hard to replace

 

[dpansheth]

If he would learn how to curl like a proper footballer should, he'd have lot more goals.

He can do it on his FIFA.

 

[Zlaatan]

That's a fair point. Just wish they could have some joy for their team mates but everyone's different.

Rashford was beaming when he hugged McTominay after the final whistle, Casimero looked pretty bummed out though.

 

[Withnail]

Thought i saw him broke smiling and congratulating McTominay after the final whistle. Why are people saying he was glum faced?

They're talking shit. He went right up to congratulate McT with a big smile on his face. He looked delighted with the win.

 

[city-puma]

Rashford is a red and also super player. Please don’t talk nonsense shit about him.
But I do think he is not compatible to the system ETH wants to play. ETH requires the ball security in possession like Antony is superb in on wide zones. It’s one of reasons we have an unbalanced system.

 

[Remember the geese]

Thought it was funny how the commentator on my stream was anticipating a cacophony of boos as a reaction to Rashford's substitution. Then upon hearing the cheers from the fans (at least partly due to the introduction of Garnacho), he went on to state that it must have been coming from the Brentford fans, who would have been no doubt delighted to have seen the great Rashford depart.

When low on confidence his game is pretty much a statue not contributing anything.

 

[city-puma]

Exactly. I think the malfunctioned system has put many players on lower confidence level. A string of bad results with chaotic play every game eats out the confidence bit by bit. Everyone will lose belief and doubt what they do.

 

[Woziak]

Personal opinion, a lot of the squad were comfortable starting the season, expecting results to just go for them, they played a lot of games last year with a high level of intensity which is why we have so many injuries. United need a similar threat to Rashford on the right but at a club like United we should have four elite wingers who all have to perform to keep the shirt.

Right now we have - Rashford completely out of form, Garnaucho genuine elite talent but still too young to start, Antony major issues off the pitch, Sancho has checked out early and Amad and Pellistri are not ready yet.and may never be!

We might need to seriously think about selling Sancho, Martial, Greenwood, pellistri and Amad, we should get £120m for all of them and reduce wages by £800k per week.

I think the squad game is becoming more apparent and you now need 28-29 man squad to compete on all fronts so we need 7 forward options now.

I would buy Ivan Toney or Benjamin Sesco T Kubo and the two Brazilian youngsters we are looking at. Marcos Leornado and Lorran. We should be able to buy all 4 for £180m so a £60m upgrade.

Having Rashford, Garnaucho, Toney, R Hojlund, Kubo, Antony and M Leornado as options we should be able to bench Rashford until he finds form and Lorran will give Bruno sleepless nights about his starting position in less than 12 months.

We also have Shea Lacey coming through who will send Antony packing inside 18 months!

 

[RedorDead21]

Wait until the city game…our 2nd choice back line will concede 5/6…

 

[henrysquire]

Lost his passion here. Best for both parties if he moves on.

 

[city-puma]

Wait until the city game…our 2nd choice back line will concede 5/6…

But we have to grind out positive results before it first. It seems just like impossible at the moment. Not sure ETH can last until then, to be honest.

 

[GreatDane]

Cue the leaks tomorrow

This, not even joking. Bench for him and Bruno.

 

[Oranges038]

I don't think I've ever seen a Utd forward with such poor off the ball movement around the box. He's such a bad player to have on the pitch when playing against a camped defence. He doesn't even attempt to make a run, just hangs out on the left waiting for the ball to come to him.

Midfielders have the ball around the box, no movement between the defenders like Hojlund was doing, just stands there trots around in a little circle and watches the ball go back. No effort to make run in behind, no effort to come towards the ball. Even when he does make a move it's almost like a token gesture, there's no urgency or dynamism in it. Just a little move here and there a little trot and a walk. It's very very frustrating to watch.

 

[Woziak]

this is probably his level. Should've taken offer from PSG..

They’ll be back in when Mbappe goes !

 

[Prodigy24]

No confidence at all at the moment and it's very obvious. Also, I think not having Luke Shaw as support has affected him as well.

 

[Gabriel Djemba-Bebe]

No confidence at all at the moment and it's very obvious. Also, I think not having Luke Shaw as support has affected him as well.

Agreed. Their partnership down the left brought the best out of each other and was out strongest attacking outlet last season.

 

[lex talionis]

Marcus needs to be benched for a few matches. Whatever is going on in his head, he's not going to play himself into form.
