Lovely goal, which seemed to boost his confidence

If this guy gets going again we should have a good season. Our "fans" who've been abusing him while he's struggling are a disgrace. If Rashford is good, the team benefits from it. He looked good today, was finally striking the ball the way we all know he can. Once that confidence came in he just looked unstoppable and we need him in that mental state.
Workrate was slightly frustrating but he grew into the game and took his goal really well. Encouraging
I'm not sure if we'll see the explosive version of Rashford again, though we did catch glimpses of it when Amad put him through. That said, I thought his link-up play was strong, even before he scored. I’m glad he got his goal—it clearly boosted his confidence, as he started taking shots and attempting things he might not have done otherwise.
Hopefully, he can build on this performance. A fully in-form Rashford, along with Garnacho and Amad, could really take our attack to the next level.

Good goal. Positionally poor defensively and kept leaving Dalot exposed.
some good link up plays and a goal.
But his presses and defending are still non existent. a huge contrast to amad.

He was showing his quality today. Made good decisions and his link up play was better. Could have had 3 goals and that demonstrates the difference in his performance because he made those chances. Looks like we could see the Rashford from 2 seasons ago.
Do this for the next 10 games and we can start to get excited, until then head down, no complaining about the critics and focus on your game
Very good finish. Decent overall.
Amad played well. Garnacho got his second of the season.
You can be both pleased that he scored and played better and disagree with the inevitable outcome that Amad and Garnacho will continue to fight it out for one position whilst Rashford's name is the first on the team sheet each week for the next 20 games

Good to see him shooting and shooting well again. His hesitation to do so thus far this season was a big concern. Hopefully he goes on a nice little run now to work his way back to his 22/23 self.
Much improved. Hopefully a sign of things to come.
Got his shots off early today. That was good to see. Too often he holds onto ball too long
We need to see this weekly.
Definitely an improvement while still not being anywhere near his best. It's a first step though so hopefully the improvement continues.
Had a few good moments after the brilliantly taken goal but I still think that in his current form he's an overall net loss for the team. Just... work harder? Surely it's not that hard, no pun intended.
Dalot had a mare individually but the lack of support from Rashford and Eriksen was borderline criminal and should've resulted in a goal or even two (thankfully, Onana had managed to bail us out in both cases). And only one of those players is 32 (feels older) with a fecking ICD — it doesn't excuse him completely but at least it's more understandable.

Just going to let this hang in the air like the disgusting stinky fart that it is
To me he hasn’t lost his pace at all, some people are confused or got the wrong impression of Rashfords strength. He always hasn’t been great and consistent when dribbling past players with the ball at his feet from a standing position, however when the ball is put in front of him his pace is apparent as per that pass that Amad has put him through today.

He hasn't lost all his pace, he's just lost some of it. And that's the reason why we're never going to see the best version of him ever again.
The difference between scoring or assisting a goal, or beating a defender is often milliseconds and inches, and that bit of pace is the difference. And it messes with a players confidence when he knows he's not as quick as he used to be.
The reason why his ‘pace’ has looked more apparent from his peak season is largely due to the team setup and him being at the top of his game, his perceived lack of pace has no correlation to his form over the last year or so.
Pleased he got his goal. Hopefully he kicks on from here.
Close enough?
Seemed to liven up straight away after the goal. Hoping it gives him a much needed confidence boost.
He was good today but one good performance after 18 months of consistently terrible, and for a large part, lazy performances isn't really a good counter argument there is it?
Somebody get that man some cutlery.Big threat today, if he plays like that every game he’ll score more often than not
Top players adjust. Problem for Rashford is his pace really was his biggest asset by a mile
Decent. This should be the bare minimum for him moving forward. Hopefully he can push on.
I agree he has lost some pace and that’s a major issue for him. However, I was relieved to see him beat Ugocgukwu in a foot race for his big chance in the second half.
Not the worst of games today. Maybe still doesn’t deserve to start ahead of Garnacho, but deserves playing time, let’s put it this way. Hopefully will improve going forward
Nice goal, and could have scored more, but Ramsdale had a good performance

A bit better today after the goal but I'd still rather see Garnacho and Amad as the first choice wingers over him.
Given he scored that'll automatically mean he'll be staring the next 10 games in Ten Hags mind. But as someone said above, overall Rashford is a net loss for the team. We'd be a far better team without him.
I think I'm starting to sound slightly bitter at this point but I think it's absolutely ridiculous he gets so many more chances that other players. If you play anyone on the wing and never drop them, they'll eventually score or have one half decent game. It doesn't mean they are good enough.

It's true as you say, if he's good, the team benefits. Problem is he's almost never good nowadays. So the team is impacted negatively. He got a goal today so likely in your mind he's good again. Now he'll likely go on to have 5 poor games and we'll keep persistent month on month, year on year, hoping he hits from again. Anyone else would have been dropped and sold long ago.
Agree. Solid game, no major feck ups, pretty lazy defensively but I've come to expect that mostly, quality finish, some good combinations with his teammates.
At this point he is what he is as a player, so it's going to take him consistently producing end product to be valuable. Maybe today will be a nice boost of confidence
Decent performance with a nice goal. Lacking defensive workrate that left Dalot exposed at times. Overall though, he did ok, got his goal and probably should have bagged another when Amad played him. Good, but we all know he can do better. It's up to him to prove it now by going on a consistent run.
Will benefit from having a Zirkzee in the team, a player who can find balls in behind to the wingers is essential for Rashfords game.
When was that?
Agreed. Already seeing some good combination plays between both players, just lacking the finish. It'll come.
He seemed sharper today and less afraid to take on his man. I'd start him vs Barnsley in the hope that it triggers a confidence-boosting run of goals in consecutive games.
This is the sort of game I expect from him generally, which is to say a very, very strong goal threat for a winger, very poor defensively and a bit below average in link up/creating for others. Feels like he should be a player with a healthy number of goals and that justifies him being one of our 3 main wingers but probably still below the Gordon line he needs to be England's best LW, which is the level of quality we need here.
