The bad "V"
He was ok, but the whole team played very very poorly in general. He only played a bit of the second half anyway.
Sounds like what he should be doing for us.

Barcelona were looking at him in the summer which is why we bumped up his salary to a ridiculous amount.Yeah but how are we gonna sell him. Even people discussing his inflated stats on fifa are calling him Rashford in real life and overrated.
He is on 200k. There will be no takers.
How is Rashford getting selected by Southgate ? Is he watching matches or just picking his squad on guesswork ? I agree with the above post that Rashford is among the worst strikers in the PL, not just on current form but from a good chunk of the back end of last season too.
Although OGS made catastrophic mistakes in shedding our strike force he, unlike Southgate, has no option but to play him. We have literally no one else fit or up to it but Rashford shouldn’t be anywhere near an England squad.
Apparently he was crap for England?

He is overrated because he is young and English. He needs to look carefully at himself in the coming months.

I queried a little while back whether this Barca rumour was even true. The response was not a chance.
Some posts from earlier in this thread talking about the ego point and saying that it's a bizarre notion that he has this inflated ego.
I don't think it is though I think it's a bit on the money, though in many ways don't blame Rashford. He started out really humble player, I remember watching interview with him and Lukaku and the interviewer asked if Lukaku was worth £75m how much would Rashford go for. And Rashford laughing said "on a free".
Fast forward to now though, the english press hype machine has done a number on him. He's obv had his agent in his ear since he had that hot patch in Jan last year telling him he's the next superstar and needs a wage to match. And over time we now have Rashford who looks like he's trying way too hard and doing silly things like knuckle ball freekicks and strops when he doesnt get exact ball he wants. That's also in part, like others said, because there are no experienced elite forwards in the side for him to learn from and contend with and he is not mature enough to be relied upon.
So yeah I reckon there is an ego problem. But i blame the unique circumstances mostly. Agree with others don't like to see him written off, because he obviously has potential. You don't win PL player of the month without it.
Can you imagine him running looking straight ahead in nou camp? (By the way anyone else noticed he tend to clutter the ball when he is not looking at the ball directly when he moves with the ball,wtf was that). Then he gets stuck into dead end there? The crowd will kill him there. I don't know if he is mismanaged, over hyped or over played or under supplied but he cannot lead the line here. Maybe not ever, but thats just me.I queried a little while back whether this Barca rumour was even true. The response was not a chance.
It was never,ever true. The rumour was put out there by Rashy and his agent to panic the club into offering him a big deal. He's nowhere near a good enough footballer to excel at s club like Barca. They don't do hit and run merchants, especially not for the sort of wage he wanted.

So rumor was put out by Rashy and his agent and they planted that rumor in Spanish media, even more in the papers who runs Barca agenda? Such an odd thing to do.
Happens all the time. Ramos did it to us. All it takes is a few words from their agents and rumours start to spread. Even if it is clearly BS. These rumours started in English tabloids which were then picked up by Spanish papers not the other way round.
When i look at him I agree, I don't see an egomaniac but what I see is an impressionable bloke who seems to think he SHOULD carry himself like he has a big ego. Sort of like trying to act the part now he's our 'main man'.
This is also not a good character trait to have. Arrogance,if natural and warranted, can be acceptable. But when you're blatantly trying to blag arrogance,it stands out like a sore thumb.
Spanish papers reported from Barca point of view and it was from their source. They didn't mention any English paper.
You can search those reports.
Barcelona were not looking at him. The athletic was wrong. This guy is so bad technically can you imagine him in a rondo? He would be in the center all the time.
Dont even mention his tactical cluelessness.
He would be if we had anyone to play instead of him.Sounds like what he should be doing for us.

The things you mention are all skills. Skills wich has to be coached and taught. Put an in form Rashford with quality players around him, and we will see a good player.
Imo, he´s just really bad coached. The players around him does not help the case in the slightest.
Agree with this. He certainly does have an ego. You can tell from body language (if you watch the games) when things don't go his way. But it's certainly of the clubs making. Giving a 21 year old ridiculous wages and pimping him out all over social media whilst telling him he's first choice, and seems to be untouchable no matter what will certainly do things to someone that age. Christ, I dread to think what I would have been like at his age with all this adulation and money. He's not good enough as the finished article and that's not his fault. However, I do feel that we may have permanently harmed his development by creating this ego and judging by his finishing/movement around the box, it doesn't seem like he's being coached particularly well either.
Its all on Ole, he makes him his 1st choice clear since day 1. Judge him as such, not a young player anymore.
I mean, yeah that's certainly true. But by no means is it all on Ole. The club gave him a crazy contract and made him the face of social media.
So if you're shit you cant be dropped because it wont help.
If you're in poor form you need game time so you can't be dropped.
If you're not match fit you need game to be fit.
If you're shit you need game time to improve.
So um... when can we drop him?
When he retired from football. Obviously.![]()
