Ole has his favourites and in reality Rashford plays really poor for 85 minutes of most matches these days. I think Greenwood would have had a field day today with that much space.

Martial was our best player in the first half. I wasn’t expecting him to be subbed.

His retention of the ball of selection between doing something simple and something complicated has been poor for a while. The fact he still continues to put out such good goal contribution stats is testament to his talent and character.

Someone needs to sit him down and study Son at Spurs. Son takes risks and loses the ball sometimes too - all attackers do - but he's superb at keeping the ball ticking over and getting himself on the move off the ball and picking his moments to try a shot or a dribble.

Rashford has similar characteristics to Son and if he gets the right coaching he can be a better player.

Totally agree. The problem is that some people seem to forget that Rashy is a young player who still has a good deal to learn in order to fulfill his huge potential.

True. Much as G Nev was calling for him to come on, the Greenwood of this season has been a different animal to that of the latter part of last season. So I wasn't exactly crying out for his introduction

Rashford been terrible for most of the season. The Burnley game he kept passing it to no one but one pass to Pogba made everyone forget the whole game he cost us so many chances due to passing it out of play when we were close to being in.

Honestly think he is taking Inzaghi level of being born offside. Virtually the whole game he was staying offside costing us chances and when he was in he bottled it anyway.

Rashford missed 2 sitters at Leicester City as well. To win league titles you need them to go in. 4 points dropped and you could say those 4 big chances we missed 2 in both games was the difference.

The strange thing was 2 of our best away games since we lost at Anfield and we drew. Football is strange when you can play so well and not win.

The big thing for me is Liverpool were scared of us at Anfield for most of the 2nd half. Only one side looked like winning. Man couldn't believe that Pogba chance, it looked a certain goal.

I al.ost threw the remote st the tv when he didn't play it to pogba. Cavani wouldn't have been the right choice unless the pass was perfect but pogba was wide open. Instead he tried to do it all himself and lost the ball. Like he always does.

He always picks the wrong option like some fancy flick or trying to dribble round their entire defence by himself, but he ain't no messi. He still has potential, but he.needs to learn to stop being greedy and pick the correct option

Yeah Rashford is the master at shooting when he can pass it so we have a sitter and then passing to no one when he has a big chance. He is worse than Welbeck in decision making. That is one of the main reasons why we finish on 66 points. Many wins bottled due to simple decision making. Our stats usually since Rashford and Martial came into the team usually are similar to the title winners but our goal level is always low. That is why in cup competitions we struggle as I think in our recent 2 Europa League campaigns we have broken the record for chances missed in a campaign. Even in this CL campaign we probably broke the record for chances created and big chances missed.

I think Rashford the way he plays isn’t that intelligent in terms of football sense. He is the worst player we had in striker position since Welbeck. He somehow manages to mess up promisibg situations majority of the time. Perfect example we could have a 4 vs 1 and he would run it out of play or into the defender or overhit the pass out of play. It happens so regularly I used to think he was trying to sack managers at one point.
