He and United wont get anywhere if he and his teammates continue to make poor decision after poor decision on the attack.
It's getting beyond a joke now at how much our attackers ignore those around them.
Wonder what Mason,Marcus and Martial think of the link-up play of Yorke and Cole or the 08 frontline.
 
He’s been mostly very poor this season. Yes he’s had some good games but I’m pretty sure you can count them on one hand. I think he really needs to play on the left. He was very good against Liverpool on the left. Then we have martial who’s been even worse taking up the position so that’s pointless. It should be a pretty easy decision to make. It seems like common sense to me. He’s been so selfish and you just expect him to choke rather than things come off for him. I’d say his teammates are frustrated with his form. I think it’s just a lull. Hopefully he starts improving again soon because we really need him to do a lot better
 
He needs competition and we as a team need competition for places. Someone should be bought to put pressure on him. Grealish, Sancho or Neto.

I'm not his biggest fan but dropping him makes us worse, because his pace in behind is important for us. We just have to hope he can sort things out on the training ground and a chat with the coaching staff.
 
Why? The players waiting behind him aren't doing it either. Rashford has 16 goals.

Rashford has been moved to the right and it's ruining him.

New excuse for Rashford now

I haven’t seen the usual injury excuse pops up as often as it did in a while

Has people actually forgotten how bad he was on the left earlier this season, hence one of the reasons why Ole shifted him to the right.
 
He was shit; he probably would have been shit wherever he played.

But WHY are we moving him to the right to play Pogba, a midfielder, out of position on the left two games after Rashford tore Liverpool a new one from the left. It makes absolutely zero sense. If Pogba has to play out of position to get into the side in these games, which he probably does, then you might as well put him on the right and leave Rashford where he is best.
 
Our forwards look like they are playing for themselves instead of for each other. Not enough combinations or layoffs. Nothing coming off. It’s just very poor. We are definitely in a funk. Martial needs to move to the right I think. He’ll probably sulk....
 
Not good enough. Unfortunately some players have untouchable status at the club and no matter how shit you play, you will still be one of the first names on the t imesheet.

I was saying we need competition all summer and posters were going mad saying we’d mess up martial Rashford and Greenwood’s development. It’s nonsense. We clearly need much better competition for places if we want to be one of the best teams. Jota would have been a cracking signing

This nonsense has been said here for years. People think that young players need zero competition and play every minute possible to develop, you should never buy a quality player "in order not take minutes from youngsters". Never understood this reasoning.
 
Being undroppable doesn’t do anyone good unless you’re Messi or Ronaldo. Rashford’s bought into his own hype and clearly thinks he’s already made it. Non-United fans will say how much of a talent he is but they don’t see every minute of every game like United fans. The kid needs a rocket up his arse or dropping for a bit to get his head straight.

Bruno n Rashford have 10 more goals than next best in squad.

Why has Rashford been moved to the right to accommodate a player who isn't scoring anywhere near as much as he is.

It's not an excuse. Rashford is very clearly much better from the left. Liverpool last weekend showed that. He was great.
 
Yeah I noticed that, Pogba had to got out there to help out Aaron which left us vulnerable in the middle.
He acted same about Shef Utd as well. I'm starting to giving up on him soon. We will probably never win PL with him and Martial as our wingers.
 
I don't get the excuses of being on the right, I could understand it but he still get into great positions. People seem to make excuses for him all the time, tends to be he's tired and needs a rest but its just poor decision making, the guy like lots of players before him needs thing to be instinctual and if he has time to think about it he tends to make the wrong decision, also he seems to be very selfish now.
 
He shouldn’t be on the right. Imagine if we took Bruno and said yeah go play on the right. Players have positions for a reason.

I understand wanting to fit Cavani in, but it’s Martial that has to drop out. Or Pogba, if Ole is committed to playing Fred and McTominay (Pogba has been playing well in midfield anyway).

He looks shot of confidence, but is it any wonder when he hasn’t played in his actual position for months. For all of the bad stuff he does, I’m pretty sure he played someone through in the first half again, and had a few shots overall. Martial’s output from the left is far far worse. He’s literally done nothing. No taking on players, no through balls, did he take a shot today?
He started on the left against Shef Utd and was even worse than today. People need to stop to make excuses for him.

Yes because he looks good in counter attacking tactic. When we can't use that him and Martial are sadly useless.
 
He is not good enough, never was never will be, no football intelligence. He is all instinctive bluster which occasionally produces the spectacular in certain circumstances, you play football with your head, not with your feet. Ole has done a great job with the deadwood, biggest challenge coming with him and Martial, SAF would not have given it a second thought, our attack is killing us with repetitive offsides, shit interplay, lack of box instinct and missed chances. Ole knows that, we tried to sign haaland, sancho and eventually signed Cavani, we are going to have to endure it for the rest of the season but to progress Rashford and Martial are not good enough for our attack.
 
Infuriating, arrogant selfish footballer. In it for himself tonight.

And most nights.

Cavani most be the only person more frustrated with him than supporters. His reaction so many times tonight was telling. Pure anger and frustration every time Rashford did something ridiculous. It's not exactly a surprise...he's denied Cavani, and the team more importantly, 3 absolute nailed on goals recently by not making simple 5 yard passes to him. I'm sure he can't believe his lack of effort either - especially as a young player who apparently has a love for the club...one that you can't expect Cavani to have, yet he still works his balls off for us.

Cheats his teammates with his effort and his selfishness.
 
He’s playing out of position to accommodate Martial who barely looks to be bothered to give a go on most days. Put Rashford in his best position on the left and play martial on the right if ole needs to have him out there or just give Greenwood a run in the side.
 
I think the guy is completely burnt out.
33 appearances already and we're only half way.
Grealish in comparison only has 19 appearances. He's fresh and tearing it up.
 
I just think people have massively over inflated expectations of Rashford. We need to stop expecting a Rooney or Ronaldo style impact. That would lead to less frustration.

Back to Schrodinger's Rashford.

Plays badly on the left > "He should be playing up front"
Plays badly up front > "He should be playing on the left"
Plays badly on the right > "He should only be played on the left or up front!"

With the added bonus:

Refuses to press, run at defenders, break a sweat > "He's clearly carrying a knock"
 
His last goal in PL was against Wolves. And even then he was playing like he was alone on the pitch but got a goal so it was forgiven.
Manager is responsible for this. Manager must put him on the bench and tell him to start playing with the team.
Or maybe manager wants from him to play like he is playing. If that is the case then......"Cavani, no ball for you!!"

Typical RedCafe stuff. He is great talent, but he is in awful form, stop making excuses for him. The stats is not telling the whole truth. Sometimes he appears brainless.

Should put him on the bench then for the next couple of games at least. His performances deserve no better anyway
 
He has played just as bad on the left this season.

His poor decision making is always going to be an issue, doesn't matter where on the pitch he plays.
 
Rashford is mildly an improvement on Martial.

Neither is good enough for any kind of consistent period.

So frustrating but just another player who has been massively over-hyped
 
He needs coaching. It's all good to be working with vibes and all but Ole has to work with him.
 
He needs some one-on-one work with the coaches on decision-making. He has so much quality, and is excellent on the transition in his ability to instigate counter-attacks. But when he's got the choice between shooting and passing when he bears down on goal he almost always bottles it. Vitally needs to improve this aspect of his game.
