Ah so waddling around for Greenwood = shyness but Rashford it's laziness, got it.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Jamie (@Vault Dweller) get the depressing job of reviewing United's 3-0 loss at Old Trafford to Liverpool. They discuss what went wrong, Casemiro's day to forget, and the pressure now on Erik Ten Hag. They also take some time to give McTominay a proper farewell, and give their overall thoughts on the Summer Transfer Window.

Woahhh easy tiger ... Im talking about when the ball has gone out of play or something when hes back in to position etc. Just looks a shy boy. Rashford is a lazy useless player currently. Change my mind
Rashford scores about 1 in 3 in the league, Pippo more like 0.4 goals a game. However, Rashford already has more assists in the league than Inzaghi got in his whole career so...not too bad really. Shockingly enough, yes they are a different type of player, no Rashford isn't shit.
Rashford was great for a while. Loads of energy, scoring goals, so I could overlook the odd offside.
Now he's lazy, ineffective. Frustrates me more than anything that he has regressed
A beast in the making, Mason needs to worker harder off the ball and to develop a stronger instinct for making the early pass rather than taking three or four touches and then finding the chance has slipped by.
Norwich 0:1 Man Utd
He has to start in that front two. Atleast he can control and pass the ball.
He struggles with the same issues as Rashford when it comes to passing and awareness, likes to hold on to the ball for too long and prefers to try something on his own.
He doesn't give it away though. Ronaldo, Bruno and Rashford are giving the ball away like it's what they're paid to do. We, at the very least need someone who can retain it.
Greenwood has far better ball retention and general decision making at the moment, for me.
Newcastle 1:1 Man Utd
45 minutes of nothingness.
Did he even touch it?
No idea what he was doing or supposed to be doing
Regressed horribly since Ronaldo came, he played so well against Leeds and Wolves at the start of the season, really wonder what happened to him
People always like to compare him, Rashford and Martial. But they are essentially same type of players at different ages
- all hybrid wing/forward and excel at neither of the positions. As a wing, not enough dribbling/crossing, as a centre forward, lack hold up play and lack that "fox in the box" instinct
- all have good finishing, decent technique (close control) and are speedy
- all are type of players "got rich and famous too early and become complacent", and you can see their workrate and mentality drop bit by bit as they play more games

A victim of being a striker playing in front of four feckwads that couldn't complete a pass or keep possession. Hardly touched the ball aside from a brilliant pass he made that Dubravka had to sweep up, but I just can't say he was bad with a straight face when he genuinely couldn't get on the ball.
Exactly. Its just so obvious what the problem is.
When Ronaldo is a striker you need players that create him chances. When he was a LW he had Benzema doing that for him and other deeper players - when he is a striker he needs that coming from the wider areas.
Players like Greenwood & Rashford are not going to set him up because they need chances created for themselves.
Another nothing performance. Sometimes it's like playing with 10 men when he starts. I'd start Sancho ahead of him every day and twice on Sunday.
Greenwood was played in the wrong position.
I would not play him in that 2 with Bruno I'm not sure what the point of that is, he doesn''t work hard enough to be there and you're not playing to his strengths. He should be up front rotating with Ronaldo and Cavani but he and Ronnie just don't seem to gel.
Feels like another young talent that will barely develop or even regress here.
Has he had Covid recently? Looked very leggy.
I agree. There is something I can't figure out but I have noticed when these 2 play together, they try to ignore each other when passing, unless it's blatantly obvious. Ronnie wants the ball all the time, when Greenwood likes to shoot.
Apart from the ball to Ronaldo early in the first half he really didn’t have any impact on the game.
He’s a talent and will come good but playing alongside Ronaldo has fecked with his head I think, hopefully Rangnicks head doctor can start to earn his corn.

Looks like a second half player for me. I don't see the point in starting him as he seems to tire out easily.
He was enjoying playing with Cavani, then things changed when Ronaldo came here. It's up to RR and his staff to sort this out. We just can't keep playing these players who are not performing every game, yet it seems they are first on the teamsheet.
I hope the Interim manager sorts this out sooner rather than later, before young players want to leave our club.
The whole team plays shit for a half and its the 19 year old that supposed to save the day?
I get the feeling the AM role in a 4-2-2-2 is not going to be a position he can do well in. Sancho was a lot better.
I would imagine in that formation he needs to play as striker

Looks to be going through the motions.
Mason played as the striker yesterday. I wouldn't have subbed him at halftime though.
He barely got the ball. You can't really judge a striker when the team behind them is so poor.
Having said that I was still surprised he came off.
When you're struggling as a team to keep the ball you surely want the players with the best technical ability on the pitch.

Rashford on the right and him up top didn't look like it was ever going to work really. You'd think it would have made more sense to either swap Rashford and Bruno round or Greenwood and Rashford.
But hey, it was far from the only problem, Fred was utterly atrocious, Ronaldo couldn't trap wind, Rashford was truly appalling first half, there was no energy or movement all over the pitch really. I don't think a 20 year old striker should take the blame for an appalling team performance and what appeared to be poor tactics from the manager. They all need to do better.

He is absolutely no creative player or winger. Top class finisher, that is his strength. Play him as 9 or not at all.
All the ability but suffers from being extremely lazy on the field.
I'm not convinced he will ever reach his potential because of this poor approach to his play.

Yep, bemused what he was doing last night. Was he a striker, was he playing as a wide right or was he playing as a ten ?
Well he played as a striker, Marcus played rw until Mason got subbed.
Not sure why he was playing as a 10 yesterday with Rashford RW and Bruno left at one point.
He's suffered by spending crucial development years under Solskjaer, not sure if those habits will ever be undone. His development has stalled massively. We're very poor at developing young players so definitely concerned by his future prospects.
Can imagine Ole sold him dreams of being the clubs 9 this season before he went and signed Ronaldo, all a bit sulky and half arsed from him since then
