[Pogue Mahone]

Gets stuck on the RW every single game so some 20yr old winger with half his talent can feel comfortable, gets subbed off every game as well despite the team struggling. Don't blame, wouldn't want to play for this shite manager either. He's managing to make the entire team look worse than they are.

I’ll have to assume you’ve been living under a rock for most of this season. Either that or you’ve got a unique definition of “every single game”.

 

[afrocentricity]

I didn't even feel Garna was bad on the right so I do not know wtf this manager is thinking tbh

Probably thinking “why the feck did Marcus put in his best league performance of the season straight after I moved him out right, with Garnacho playing better than either of them had to date on the left, in that same match, only for both of them to play shite the very next league fixture?”

Something like that anyway. In between stressing about VAR, injuries and finishing.

 

[NinjaZombie]

His performance was that of someone being petulant, throwing a strop and going through the motions. I was watching him whenever West Ham had the ball on his side. All his defensive actions were performative. Not the first time we've seen this from him either.

On the ball, I thought he was average. Not good, not bad. He had a chance early in the game where he tangled with a West Ham defender and got a half shot away. Didn't look too bothered that he missed.

I think he's checked out, like most of us here. At least he's getting paid, unlike us.

 

[Eddy_JukeZ]

Disappointing.

I'd say it's time to cash in, but he's lost a lot of value.

 

[TempusFugit]

I’ll have to assume you’ve been living under a rock for most of this season. Either that or you’ve got a unique definition of “every single game”.

The last game Rashford played at LW was against Porto iirc where he got 1g and 1a yet was hooked off at half time. Since then he's been playing on the RW, acting as a wide playmaker pinging perfect balls to Garnacho which usually come to nothing or holding the width for Dalot to make runs into the box and miss very easy chances.

He's always the first winger to get subbed off as well. I'm telling you, this manager has lost the plot. Letting all the best chances in games fall to an inexperienced 20yr old while subbing off what should be your best winger every single game. Garnacho has 7 big chances missed this season, Rashford is on one and barely shoots at all. How's he supposed to impact games for us? As i said, I'm not surprised that his body language is not great because he's been prevented from playing his game and is usually the first attacker to come off. He was subbed for Antony last game. Antony!!!! I couldn't believe it.

 

[CloneMC16]

Marcus Rashford shots by game, EPL 24/25
Fulham: 0
Brighton: 0
Liverpool: 0
Southampton: 4 (1 goal)
Palace: 0
Spurs: 0
Villa: 2
Spurs: 2
West Ham: 0

It's a really big mystery why he's not playing with much more intensity. He must love staying back and filling in midfield or holding the width while Dalot attacks the box and wastes chances.

Let's face it, this manager's tactics are crap and his team selections are even worse. Our most dangerous forward barely averages 1 shot per game in the PL because he's always far away from the opposition box while inferior players squander chances. Sure Rashford can be criticized but to pretend like he's being put in optimal conditions and is just crap is arguing in bad faith. He's always the first attacker to be subbed off as well, Ten Hag has completely lost the plot.

Completely agree with you mate. Tactics are garbage and will get the manager sacked. Hopefully sooner rather than later. Dalot has more big misses this season than Rashford and Hojlund. Why we're playing the way we are is beyond me.

Rashford was poor yesterday, but he's definitely played better this season than last. When Rashford has played well, Ten Hag has subbed him or dropped him the next game. Baffling management. He should be playing left wing over Garnacho. Garnacho is wasting chances for fun and it's really hurting us. Rashford scores some of them that Garnacho missed.

 

[Schneiderlin's List]

Garnacho should be playing RW.

Rashford would have finished Garnacho's chances or atleast hit the shot on target.

 

[led_scholes]

Even for 10 millions we should sell. Struggling to find another PL team he would start immediately. Players like Bowen, Elanga etc offer far more than him. Average talent, awful positioning, disgraceful work rate.

Let's hope someone can make an offer. But we have to first accept that he is an extremely mediocre player talent wise, so no point hoping for a crazy 80 million offer. It won't come.

 

[Lyng]

He is not entirely wrong though. Rashford has been quite good this season on the rare occasions where he has been allowed to play on the left wing.

 

[Pogue Mahone]

He is not entirely wrong though. Rashford has been quite good this season on the rare occasions where he has been allowed to play on the left wing.

Yet arguably his best performance of the season so far (and definitely Garnacho’s) was in our most recent league fixture. When he played on the right and Garnacho on the left. In fact that Garnacho performance was the best left wing performance from either of them all season long, by a margin.

The pair of them have both played a hell of a lot worse than they did against Brentford on the opposite flanks, that’s for damn sure. Which makes moaning about poor Rashford having to play on the right amazingly poorly timed.

 

[Woodywizz]

When was the last time he played with a smile on his face?

 

[GiveItToGi...nowait]

Gotta ask yourself why Garnacho is getting so many opportunities to shoot and why we regularly see Dalot getting into the box rather than Marcus. For all his faults he is 100% a better finisher than either of those two and him hugging the right hand touchline is such a waste.

Wouldn't agree he's a better finisher than Garnacho. Not by any considerable distance anyway. I'm a better finisher than Dalot.

 

[Doracle]

It’s weird. He started the season playing well and was starting to move towards excellent form in the first half against Porto. He then got bizarrely subbed, when he was by far and away our outstanding player. Since then he has been moved to the RW to accommodate a player who, at this stage of his career, is generally quite poor on the left wing.

I don’t rate ETH’s player judgement and management at all but even for him this is really odd.

 

[superdry]

Rashford wont defend, he puts more effort into positioning himself so as to look like he’s trying, but actually keeps himself away from having to make contact. He’s had a few good attacking moments recently but he’s a con man in defence.

 

[Tosicsleftpeg]

At this point I would genuinely just put him up the middle for his pace. Our strikers aren't used anyway so might as well just hit and hope to him and see what happens.

So fed up with it all tbh.

Is this working Pogue? For me, it isn't....

Bro nobody takes your opinion on Rashford seriously and it's because of posts like that, Rashfords issue has been consistancy

 

[Pogue Mahone]

It worked in one match. It didn’t work in the very next match. Which is actually the perfect analogy for Marcus Rashford, the footballer.

 

[RedC]

Can we sack him as well?

 

[Sandikan]

Penny for Rashy's and other players' thoughts. No more blaming the old manager.

 

[BarstoolProphet]

Clean slate. Again.

 

[Kryptonite]

Clean slate. Again.

New manager, clean slate, time to assess..

Long contracts, high wages, can't shift..

Rinse and repeat.

Applies to all deadwood.

Should probably stop complicating things with players out of position and intricate tactical intrusions that leave players and fans alike baffled. Doesn't take you guys long to turn though does it, what was it? a few games out of the team or on the right? now he's persona non grata again.... ugh

none of that needs to happen, why would any get a stay of execution if they have a poor overall season again? or is this past trauma for you?

 

[Yagami]

He's playing better than ten Hag's signings but he's the one getting stick out of everyone?

 

[Remember the geese]

He isn't playing that well. Pretty average really. You could argue that "pretty average" is a huge uptick in form from previous iterations of Rashford. However, he, and Bruno, are on mega money and are supposedly in their prime. It's very understandable why they should be getting plenty of stick.

Grim reaper of managers

If a manager comes in and makes Rashford and Bruno central to his team then they've failed before a balls even been kicked

 

[Maureen-yo]

Is this a joke post? Satire? Parody? You don’t think the player with 30 goals for United in one season and 22 in two other seasons is a better finisher than Garnacho who has a career best of 10 goals (41 appearances) in a season for United?

Couldn't agree more. It's painfully obvious. No doubt whoever comes in will make that very same mistake though.

Whos fault would that be?

Anyway on another note... This argument, that they are on mega money... isnt this just an excuse for you (not you geese) to rinse them? I mean I never got that memo - it's just the default justification people seem to come up with without actually thinking

What's the argument, people in the public eye or on big wages deserve more scrutiny and criticism just because? Anyway I know better to expect everything in here to make sense

 

[Footyislife]

Geta another manager fired. Love and respect him so much for what he's done for us, but it's best for both parties if he moves on.

There's supposed to be a correlation between the money you earn and your value to the team.

If a player on 15k a week is dropping stinkers week after week, it's not a massive issue as they're easily replaceable.

When you've been rewarded with a 300k contract and you're playing terribly in 95% of games, then you're open for criticism. You're also much harder to move on as no one is matching those wages.

Fair points, but not justification surely?

I agree that he's not playing that well, but still a lot better than the majority of ten Hag's signings, so the notion that he's the main culprit getting the blame for ten Hag's sacking isn't something I agree with.

We have this all this time and it's not just Rashford. All the way back to Moyes, the players have been accused of getting managers sacked. The players haven't thrown them under the bus, the managers we've hired simply haven't been good enough. The majority of the players haven't been good enough, too, but it's their ability rather than deliberately trying to sabotage the manager.

As long as Rashford is less shit than some of our players then he does not deserve any criticism, forget about the length of time he’s been at United under numerous managers, money he makes, they are completely irrelevant because he puts in 4/10 performance, instead of 3/10 from some of our players that have arrived two months ago, or Amad and Garnacho who must show maturity and consistency in their game.

Difference between critiquing his form and accusing him of deliberately sabotaging the manager.

I suppose clear lack of effort isn’t a deliberate attempt of getting his managers sacked, we can call him lazy with a shitty attitude

Pretty sure ETH’s insane tactics and complete lack of ability to manage at this level are what got him fired. Rashford probably did more than most to keep him in a job - have a think how ETH’s first season would have gone without Marcus.

 

[Yagami]

I wouldn't disagree! There were times last season I thought his effort was awful, but he seems to have improved in that regard now.

Let's not forget that the only time we looked alright under ten Hag was when Rashford was carrying us in that few month period of the first season.
