He played differently when Martial was in top form.
And no Manager would tell Rashford to play differently last season when we had Weghorst and Martial up front.

I'm struggling to understand what you're saying here. His passing depends on who he is playing with and you're okay with it because he was our top goal scorer? Are you sure you're okay?

And they had Foden. Let's not start drawing up silly comparisons.
You made a very bold s statement and I countered it with an example
This was your statement here
ChristoBam:

No one's benching a player to pass a message for him to play better with the team. At the end of each match he plays, they bring out scenarios he could have done better and try to get him to play better with the ones up front.

You bench a player because you believe the team will probably fare better without him which is not the case in this point.

You guys are starting another version the Bruno/VDB thing.
Where do you see any comparison?

Read the 2nd paragraph. That's what applies in the case of benching Grealish for the likes of Foden. It's not the same with Rashford.

I don't even understand your post. We're talking about the options here. You're moving from the main point to talks about recruitment. Please stick to the main point.

Who are the options? You can't list one, but you're bringing examples that are not in any way related to what we're saying.

We've already seen Gernacho start two matches back to back and we all concluded it shouldn't happen again. Man couldn't even take on one player.

Martial can't play from the left. We know the issue with Sancho.


So who are we playing when we bench Rashford?

You can't even name one player and you're bringing examples wey no join.

Some of the scenarios you even listed are plain silly, especially that hazard one. You literally don't have any player playing better than Rashford at that left. You can't even mention one name. Gernacho that's even better off the bench came in and couldn't even take on one player. Tried it back to back and was dispossessed like a kid. Is that who should be starting instead of Rashford?

You are dropping names and asking me for options...Lol

If Garnacho was dropped for being bad for 2 games why then must Rashford retain his place in the team?

So, Rashford should get extended game time for him to pick up while others should be dropped for playing badly abi? And you are on about options.

Any player who is not playing well should be dropped, it's that simple...Hannibal came in and did well against Brighton. Who would have thought? Definitely not you....

He's not a playmaker. Yeah, it depends on who plays up front with him. His gameplay changes based on who's up front with him. He'll take on less shots if he has a clinical striker in front of him.

Y'all just like arguing non-stop, don't you?

Did you watch out first two matches? Gernacho couldn't take on a single player. He was dispossessed like a little kid. Are you saying we should be starting him instead of Rashford?

I'm wondering why you can't categorically name one player that should start instead of Rashford. You keep hiding under generalizations.

Btw, Gerncaho was never even starting matches in the past. He was always coming off the bench. It's not the same as benching a Rashford.

Who is asking him to be a play maker? Passing the ball to someone better positioned is not play making. Joining your team mates to win the ball back is definitely not rocket science. Being a team player is not for the lesser players only.

Oh,let's go to the extreme and say Rashford never passes to players in better position. I'm not even surprised y'all like going to the extreme whether it's praising or criticizing a player.

Rashford will pass to a player that's in a better position. No be today. But he tries things on whenever he fancies his chances. What he needs to learn since we've got someone like Hojlund is making the pass even if you strongly believe you'll score.

That's a manager heading to the sack. Benching one of the top players of your team for someone that's dropped worse performances. It's not about the replacement being better. Pep dropped Grealish because at that point playing Foden was better for the team. That's what you drop players for.

You don't drop players to appease angry reactionary fans.
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by odizeey(m): 6:22pm On Sep 18, 2023
Because Garnacho did not play well in the first two games, he should be banished for life and not given any chance again.

Quite laughable

What's even special about Hojlund that Rashford should be passing to him? Was it not 9 goals or so he scored last season?
