I am not comparing o. I just noticed what you said that he misplaced SEVEN SIMPLE passes in the match. O wrong nau!

There was a time people were trying to rope him into one of Maguire's disaster classes i had to defend him. I try not to allow agenda affect my assessment so you should know i am saying this next bit objectively. He is the most careless passer we have in our team. He misplaces passes not because he can't pass the ball but because he is not just bothered to treat each pass as an important action.

There is no one in our team that misplaces simple passes like Fred. Another culprit is Bruno sometimes but at least that one makes up for it with goals and assists and he plays higher up the field. A CM/CDM like Fred should not be that careless with his passes. After studying Fred it appears he actually has good passing ability but is just incredibly careless with the ball.

O wrong nau. O wa too wrong nau.
Everyone in our team misplaces simple passes like Fred. EVERYONE

Nobody is criticizing Rashford or Fred or any player unjustly except maybe Trebor but even he isn't entirely wrong in some of his assessments...

Rashford has delivered the goods in terms of goals and assist but it doesn't tell the whole story, they're aspects of his game he needs to improve and pointing it out shouldn't be mistaken for unfair criticism...

Fred too is sloppy on the ball so I don't see why it is a problem if someone demands that he improves his passing and ball retention...

During the game, Martial at some point dropped into the AMF position to receive the ball but someone here said Martial is taking up Bruno's space when in all honesty, the space was left open as Bruno had moved higher up the pitch. Big teams do it but here it's a problem because it's Martial...A Martial fan in that instance will argue that Martial had to drop deep for lack of supply but that is irrelevant now as we won the game...

Martial won't make those runs behind and even if he does, he gets easily frustrated when the ball doesn't get to him compared to Cavani who will keep making those runs in hope that one time, he will be presented with a chance...I rather if Martial must start he be surrounded with players who are comfortable playing ball to feet with quick passing to create opportunities in crowded spaces and in our team, I can only think of Greenwood, Mata, Bruno and Pogba who can play to his strengths and of the aforementioned, Mata and Greenwood are not guaranteed starters and Pogba is out injured...Cavani and Rashford are ready to make those runs and are very direct in their play thus if Martial can't fit in, he should be drooped for Greenwood who has more to his game...

As the season goes on, your favorite might be criticized and when it happens, you will need not be emotional about your response as Doc preaches...

Fred was never called a great player. He's instead picked on for something every other player is guilty of in that team

Last last, for this life everybody get who dem hate.

Trevor hates Bruno, Leyqute hates Rashford, I can't stand Martial.

If Rashford was unavailable for selection for just three matches, you'll see the kind of 'fantastic' goal records we'll have for those three matches.

No go blame your useless defenders for how your club keep bottling important matches, keep blaming Rashford for missing chances he mostly created by movement and positioning.

Right. Just like how me and Afrodoc also hates Bruno. Lana1 also hates Rashford.

You people won’t recognize that it’s not hate when you are specific and clear about the issue, and it has been occurring repetitively.

It’s okay yesterday cos we won but on days when those errors cost us games you’ll see what I’ve been seeing for the last couple of months.

I absolutely hope Rashford improves and develops his game. Else I won’t stop calling him out. His goal (and assists) record are appreciated but they will be more fantastic if he plays better with the team.

I’m not going to talk about Martial. I’m done with that one.

The coach should be making the most of this innate behavior of both players.

Let them interchange roles a bit. Bruno as CF and Marrial as AM sometimes.

Martial can drag a CB out of position when he feigns coming out to get the ball. Bruno can run into the empty space and receive the ball and finish.

We need improvements in all departments.

Lmao!

I feel Fred is always falling especially when trying to cut passing lanes or tackle, because he is kinda in a hurry, poorly positioned and just not an intelligent player. More than half the time he lunges towards the ball, he gets bypassed easily putting so much pressure on the defense behind him.

I don flog this issue taya.

It has to come down to mental unintelligence, I think. He has no positional discipline, esp when defending. Just lunges and loses the ball carelessly.

When we are building up play, he has this nack of actively making himself available for all passes, including one where someone is available. And when pressured he easily loses the ball.

What happened to making the field larger for the opponent ? What happened to making them run?

There’s been a slight improvement in his positioning when building up play tho. He drops in between Maguire and Lindelof to create more passing lanes. Guess he learned that from Matic. Formerly he just runs anywhere bele face.

I think they have decided to start using Greenwood as CF. Previously that match would have started with Rashy at CF, Greenwood on the right and James on the left.

I suspect Martial won’t be here by the end of next season. Greenwood, Rashford, Amad might be the combo for the immediate future, that is if the Haaland/Sancho hunt fails.

I can bet anything that Haaland is going to Bayern in 2022 sha.

Rashford is a pretty frustrating player to be honest. In every match he makes you want to jump off your seat with rage or excitement.

I can't remember how many unprintable words I've muttered under my breath when he fecks up a one on one or goes dribbling into a maze.

He can be very annoying but I won't call him useless because even when he's shite, he's still visible and available to try stuff and be blamed for it.

Over all, we're trying to see our players grow and whilst Rashford is not the final product, I think he's pretty fecking close.

Anybody slatting a winger with 18 goals and 10 assist so far this season is just trying to drive an agenda.

Whatever woes we have this season has been as a result of Ole, Martial, Maguire and Lindelof in no particular order.

Shaw, Rashford, Bruno and Cavani has been our best players this season. Pogba has been excellent in patches

Spot on.

Ole is as inconsistent as our forwards. Sometimes he reverts to the same tactical mistakes that failed him in earlier matches and gets eggs on his face again.

The only reason I'm not yet Ole-out is because I feel he still has some learning capacity but if we can find an improvement, I won't shed a tear grin

Martial, Martial, Martial.... I can't say nothing menh... He needs white garment deliverance with broom and cane grin

Maguire and Lindelof are the reason I'm not confident of a win even when we're 3 up.

I think we go a bit too hard on the Rashford criticism. There are atleast 8/9 players in that team that deserve more criticism than Rashford. Yes he still has some decision making issues but overall, He's one of the best forwards in the league and the expectation for him is much higher than anyone else. With that he is still contributing very well to the team. There are others along with the coach that deserve far more beef.
