Standard performance. Needs to be on the bench.
One easy chance that he struck unconvincingly with his left foot against the outside of the post and a decent opportunity on his right in the first half that missed by some distance.
Both Amad and Garnacho looked superior at the moment. Be interesting to see if Ten Hag is prepared to bench Rashford early in the season.
They seem to keep him for 90 minutes expecting he will make something happen.Strange the hold he seems to have over every manager that comes in, he scores the odd goal but his average performance is poor. Amad and Garnacho on the wings all day , every fan knows this yet somehow come next weekend Rashford will be shoehorned into the team once again.
we all had this wishful thinking every time he scored last seasonNeeds one goal and it will all click into place
Yeah i think so too. He looked fitter than at any point last season but his finishing was poor today.Needs one goal and it will all click into place
I know I'm swimming against the current here but he was good IMO.
The missed chances are frustrating, but too many of you have become so used to Rashford being able to pull off difficult things with ease, that now you subconsciously dismiss them whenever he does them. Great switches of play with those long diagonals today, and he created a goal-scoring opportunity for McTominay when he headed down the ball in front of him after that corner as well. Also, as it always is the case, he's one of the biggest transitional threats in world football.
If ten Hag stops deploying him as a touchline winger and Rashford can go back to being more of an inside forward, where he had his best seasons so far at United, this could easily be another 30 G/A season for him.
Those calling him useless and a clown etc. are the actual clowns themselves. 0 insight into things and just letting out their frustrations because of some missed chances. What you should be focusing on is that he got into 3 good goal-scoring opportunities, plus created one on top of that, against the best team in world football...and then somehow people will laugh at me for saying he is one of the deadliest transitional threats around.
Why cant he just cheer up? Its so depressing watching him.
Drains the life out of me, always looks like he's playing with a gun held to his head.
Yeah, he looked really good today. Just missed the two chances. I don’t think anyone would complain if that means Garnacho gets the nod ahead of him next week, given how well he took his chance, but Rashford looks ready for a strong season to me.
Passing inside constantly and missing sitters does not constitute a good game. He was bad.His finishing was poor but in general I thought he had a good game.
