High ball, Lukaku's strength? The same Lukaku we all know? Okay o!
It's not part of his strength?

Left to you Martial is better than Messi.

Rashford will make it into a French team where Lemar, Lacazette and Martial are struggling to get into...Man, you've got jokes...
Who the fvck is Lemar, LacaLaca and Martial?
Why don't you say Gignac and Joelinton...

If you think these 3 players are better than Rashford you've got bigger jokes....

They have the same goal but how many goals does rashford have from open play? Baba has scored 6 penalties and martial has none huh
Is that why Rashford always end the season with more goals and assists than Martial for the past 3-4 seasons??

If Martial is good in taking PK, he will surely play

These are exceptions. Exceptions.

Rashford will not walk into the France National team starting eleven. Eod
Rashford was in the team when we had Ibrahimovic as our top 9 and when Lukaku took over......

Giroud will deny him the chance to play in France line up. I agree

Messi, Aguero.. see the names you dey call because of Rashford argument.. Chai grin
That boils down to what i have been saying since....... Formations, style of play depends on the players you have.

Imagine a style of football where you want your striker to have 0 goal, 0 assist and 0 shot on goal..... cheesy cheesy cheesy

Stop comparing France and England. They are not the same teams.

There’s a reason one won the World Cup while beating strong teams, and the other was eliminated by the first strong team they faced in the competition.
World cup or no world cup.

So Messi or Aguero won't make France team because Argentina didn't win World cup?....which kind analysis be this abeg.

Coach use Target Man as their plan C or D when the main plan don't work or they don't have the players they want.....that is the reason you will see Fellaini playing like a striker for us, you will see Pique and Ramos playing close to opponent box when Barca or Madrid are looking for goal late in games....

Abraham is benching Giroud, Rashford won't bench Giroud cheesy cheesy cheesy

Lmaoooo.. If Deschamps wanted to play this way, he could have easily used Dembele nah, or even Lemar or Coman.


Dembele - Mbappe - Griezmann
Dembele = Martial

Talent without hardwork or any atom of seriousness that you won't find in big games
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Expert17: 10:31pm On Jul 24, 2020
If Rashford can be in the first 11 with forwards like

Danny Ings (Saints 1st choice)
Jamie Vardy ( Liecester 1st choice)
Kane (Spurs 1st choice)
Madison ( Liecester 1st choice)
Sterling ( Man City 1st choice)
Sancho ( Dortmund 1st choice)
Abraham ( Chelsea 1st choice)
Grealish ( Villa 1st choice)

Mount, Odoi, Greenwood, etc

Then you need to respect him more.

Rashford, Mbappe, Greizman. Mpabbe plays as the target man.
Simple 4-3-3

Matuidi Kante Pogba

Griezman Mpappe Rashford.

Which big club rely on that outdated target Man role?

It's simple that is the most effective way Giroud can play same as Peter Crouch and Andy Caroll.

Did y’all even watch France matches at all? undecided

Not everything has to be argued about abeg.

If Rashford is to get into that team, then he has to bench Griezmann (in a 4-3-3) or Lemar/Payet (in a 4-2-3-1).

Giroud’s role was Target Forward (bring others into play and keep the opposing CBs busy).
cool cool

You don't expect Benzema or Rashford to be in the team and Deschamps will suscribe to Target Man football by opting for Giroud....

It's simple.....when we had Lukaku we played to his strength (crossing and high ball) now we have Martial we are playing to his strength ( quick exchange of ball),.....
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Expert17: 9:59pm On Jul 24, 2020
GloryIsaac:
Giroud played the role of a typical Target Man - as a Wall to keep the opposition center halves occupied,to win and spread the aerial balls either side, use his tall frame to hold the ball for a few valuable seconds longer so as to give the wingers time to make a run, create and clear danger during set-plays. Giroud took up the role of a selfless ‘Forward’ whose job is to offer a big-tall presence than to score goals or create direct scoring opportunities. The fact that he didn’t even attempt a shot on goal in all those minutes makes clear the role he was asked to play for the team.
Great analysis...

Just ask yourself this simple question "apart from this playing style you describe above, what other style can Giroud play?"

Can Rashford play as a Target Man?
Must they play that way?

Before Giroud started playing for France, which style of play where they using?

Giroud won't smell line-up with Rashford in the team.

Free kicks like this?


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-0qOnfjtoA

There’s more where that came from.

Do you know how many free kicks that guy has wasted? And no, I’m not counting the one that he hit against a fan on a wheelchair.

Why was freekick duty immediately handed to Bruno when he arrived?

Furthermore, we keep seeing him misplacing easy passes on the pitch. Don’t you see it when you watch matches or are you a livescore guy?

It’s not compulsory to quote me, dude.

Dey your dey make I Dey my Dey. Biko.
I can show you CR7 and Messi freekicks also....
When was the last time CR7 scored a freekick?

Close freekicks belongs to Bruno or Mata..

Long distance belongs to Rashford.

You should know this

GloryIsaac:
The French National team manager has a style of play that Giroud fits. That’s why he selects him.

Giroud played all matches at the World Cup as the French starting striker and did not register a shot on target.

If Rashford was French, the manager would have still selected Giroud ahead of him. It’s about style of play, not quality.
Country don't buy players so you make do with what you have......

Benzema can't play for France because of that Sex scandal.....and I don't see any other serious France striker.

Again, don't tell me any coach in this world will pick Giroud over Rashford...mind you statistically Abraham is the first choice for Chelsea this season.

DeadPresidents:
How many of those penalties did he win? I don't see how shooting down a player for scoring penalties he won makes any sense? It's ridiculous at this point.

Misplaces simple passes and "lacks creativity" but still second in chances created since lockdown to only De Bruyne?

I'm seeing a lot of lazy cliche Sky analyst narratives bandied about Rashford just as I see cliché "lazy Arrow" narratives spread about Martial.
Martial fans can be like that

---When you see something like Martial is a better team player than Rashford...you should be laughing and rolling on the floor.

-The same Rashford is better than Martial in making same passes...

Highest Goal Scorer for us in EPL= Rashford ( tied with Martial)

Highest Assist for us in EPL= Rashford ( tied with Bruno)

Highest Goal contribution for us in EPL= Rashford.

Kudos, you are the only one who kind of understands the direction of my argument when I droped those attachments. If we scored more and still finished outside of the top 4 for 3 consecutive seasons, shouldn't that be a pointer as to where we need to improve upon? We are an average team overall, we lack quality in numerous departments and that is buttressed in our results. Consequently, expectiing us to score more than 3 goals a game to assure a W is desperately unachievable!

How many goals are our competitiors (Spurs, Leciester, Wolves, Sheffield, Manchester United and Chelsea) scoring per game and how many are they conceding per game? I said this before that I am worried we have successfully absolved the clowns we parade at the back of their blame and now sholdering it on the midfielders. The midfielders are now to blame for issues with our attack and defense. The fact that you even think our defense is average makes all the case.

"No one ever lost a football game for not conceding
Food for thought

It’s not slander, it’s the truth. How will a 22 yo find it hard to successfully make a 10 feet pass

He should stop serving rubbish. If you can’t score, at least help in another way. Draw defenders away from the ball. Create chances, etc. Don’t turn into a Willian fcs
cheesy cheesy.... someone that plays almost all out set-piece don't know how to pass the ball?

Show me a set-piece taker that don't know how to pass the ball.

It's easy to see the guy is not fully fit and I will blame Ole's lack of man management skills.

Yes.

If Rashford can start in a team that has Harry Kane, Raheem Sterling, Jordan Sancho, Madison, Vardy, Ings, Abraham...... He will start in a team with just Mpappe and Griezman only.

I have been seeing some Rashford slander flying around here. So I decided to post this to tell you guys that you need to calm down. The boy is only 22.
cool cool

The same Rashford always gap Martial in goals contribution ( goals + assists ) every season since his debut (4-5 years now)....

Rashford is more matured and you can rely on him in big games.

The same France team that Martial can't enter, Rashford will walk straight into that team...

Martial is in form this season and Rashford is playing rubbish, at the end they have the same goals with Rashford having higher assist ....make una calm down, it's just injury effect

Anybody that isn't blaming Jorginho for our loss doesn't understand football.

Watch the highlights again and note Jorginho's positioning for all the goals.

Kepa self na idiot. Almost every shot at him is a goal. He has poor reflexes. His positioning is poor. His awareness is poor. He doesn't come out for aerial balls leading us to concede a lot of setpieces. The only thing is that he rarely makes those howlers that other keepers make thus making his mistakes less obvious. With a better keeper, we should have secured top 4 long ago.

I can't believe some scummies actually said they would prefer Kepa to De Gea. Spain is in hot soup if they can't find replacements for those two
.
Kepa >>>>>>>>>> Degea

If you're still doubting.......watch Chelsea next game against Wolves...
