December and January

For all the flak that Rashford sometimes gets (deservedly) there is no better attacker to rely on than him, when it comes to these kinds of fixtures.

He’s only 22, yet he already has good experience against tough opponents. And knows how to play against them.

Playing against attacking teams gets the best out of him. He struggles against defensive teams where he can't rely on pace, I think city may suit him.

Is it deserved though?

Obviously everybody is going to get a bit of criticism now and again which is fine but some of the abuse that's been aimed at Rashford and the names people call him are pathetic.

As you say he's only 22, just. People need to cut him some slack the next time his form suffers which it will at some point.

He has his flaws but he's a big talent.

Just looking at the fixture list. We have City away, and Liverpool away mid January. Apart from these we seem to have mostly winnable games.

This arrogance is how Robb fell on his own ar5e regularly.

Selective there RB&W.
You could have put the next line in.

Which is why i mentioned 'sometimes'.

He has his inconsistencies, and yes he is still young and has a long way to go still. But when he's poor, he has been frustrating.

However, saying that he is the one attacking player that i can rely on who can put in a performance or at the very least - grab important goals in these big games. To do that consistently, you have to be talented.

He's still raw at times, but hopefully he will gain that consistency and be a top performer (like last night for example) on a more regular basis.

We've had a few players improve under Ole and Rashford is one of them.

If Man Utd can start finishing better then I can see us scraping top 4 but with our poor efficiency at both ends, top 6 is best we can get. Amazingly really Solskjaer has us near title winning stats since he came in and we have been on a dreadful run of form. We

Man City will be up against a side who allowed the fewest quality chances in the PL so maybe 1 goal will be enough but considering we normally concede more goals than expected and have done since pretty much March of last season and score less goals than expected, we need to fluke a win.

I say fluke a win as in maybe we are due a result that we don't deserve. Honestly can't remember last game we won with us having worse expected goals as we dominate nearly every game on expected goals bar the ones ref cheat us.

Man Utd are 2nd on expected points away but have conceded a lot more goals than expected and scored a lot less goals than expected. Time we get a lucky win?
