Last season Saint Maxim was supposed to be Newcastle best/most creative player. Eddie benched him for obvious reasons

Simple if a player is not doing well, bench him.

If we asked for Garnacho to be benched for playing poorly, why not Rashford? He is talking about options.

If Rashford gets injured today, will we be playing every game with 10 men?

Some arguments no just make sense.

ChristoBam:
My point is that you can't blame the manager for always starting Rashford because there's literally no strong competition for that starting spot. Simple!

We play Bayern tomorrow. You can't confidently name one player that should be starting over Rashford at the left. So what's all these long talks about?

Becuase for me any player who is doing well should start.

Again, they're looking at the player that Rashford can be and not what he is currently playing...

We have Garnacho and Martial as options.

There's a game we beat Arsenal 2 vs. 0 where Nani was jogging the ball with his head. Abeg can someone drop the lineup here let us see if the big names started.

If Garnacho was benched for playing poorly then should Rashford not be benched too? Is it only when Antony is involved that the talk of favouritism comes into play?

melodyogonna:
Isn't Rashford delivering though? In our last match he was the major output constantly putting pressure on Brighton's defence. In a normal day he would have scored two plus 1 assist. In the match before he was involved in what, 2 goals?

Also, against Brighton I remember 3 instances his passes would have led to a goal, in fact one of them did but got ruled out.

Stats killed the beautiful game. Do you watch Rashford away from goals?

If a player scores like Haaland, I wouldn't mind him just scoring alone but for a player like Rashford who is not consistent, he needs to step up other aspects of his game.

ChristoBam:
If you're not about to stay on point, why quote me then. Please go hard lol. That's my specialty. If asking if you're naive gets you triggered, you probably should avoid arguments on a faceless forum.

And booing our best players is not something we should be emulating. Btw, y'all can boo Rashford all you want whenever he plays bad. He's a senior player and will deal with it. I'll rather that than a young one like Garnacho.

Your point is that Rashford should always start regardless of his performance because the options on the bench are not as good as Rashford on his best days...

We are not talking about the player Rashford can be but his output now. If Rashford is not delivering, we should try others in that position.

raumdeuter:
AWB is seen in company of exiled Sancho

Next thing AWB is out injured for 2 months

ETH needs to check for anyone who sent messages to Sancho since the time he got exiled and send them to the doghouse too

Sancho is just an I'm serious footballer.

ChristoBam:
Godddd. How do you people even take arguments this way. A person says something, you twist it another way and run away with it.

The argument all day has been about who the direct replacement for this player is. And it's Gernacho that's playing worse than Rashford this season.

You saw what I said when I talked about benching *a Rashford*. It was about how benching Rashford is different from benching Garnacho. So why twist my words like that.

Gernacho was never a first team player. He's trying to break into the first team. He started two games and was absolutely terrible so he got dropped back to the bench. Rashford is an established first team player. Do you expect the same treatment after two bad games? Or y'all are just super naive?

I'm not saying an established first-team player shouldn't be benched.

I can go hard on you if you are averse to being civil, watch it...

In Madrid, they boo the very best because they maintain a high standard...If Rashford is not delivering, he should sit...

ChristoBam:
Rashford is an established first-team player.
I'm even wondering why you asked that question.

Bro, you are not serious...

So, an established first-team player can't/should not be benched even when he is playing badly? If your answer or whatever your response is implies 'yes', then I have to stop taking you seriously...

ChristoBam:
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 da Bleep is "A RASHFORD"

ChristoBam:
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....

ChristoBam:
Which others?
We've seen what Gernacho can do starting from the left. Absolutely terrible. We saw it over 2 games. I don't want to see that again.

Martial? Sancho?

Where are the others?

When Fergie had enough of Beckham and kicked him out, was they anyone on the bench half as good as him?

When Mourinho opted for Varane instead of Pepe at Madrid, was Varane better than Pepe?

If Hazard was signed by Man Utd and not Madrid I am sure you would have been supporting the coach to keep playing him at the expense of developing youngsters who are hungry to perform.

They're a lot more examples...

It us only when it gets to this club that fans will start asking where the good players in the market are and what other options we have on the bench.

We dey here dey asking laughable questions yet the likes of City dey recruit good players steady.

chrisley024:
from my observation watching English NT, he passes more compared to when playing for Utd

That's why I reserved some blame for the coaching staff. If you watch the match against Brighton closely you'll see Bruno and Hojlund trying to press while Rashford will be jogging thus making a mess of their efforts.

I expect the coaching staff to point out all this to him and if he doesn't change, bench him.

ChristoBam:
The thing is if we don't start Rashford, who would we start? Gernacho? Sancho? Martial?

Let others come in and let's see what they can do...Rashford can cut out some of his nonsense with proper coaching.

How did we spend all this money yet we do not have one player who can go past his man effortlessly?

If we can keep the ball and create chances with good passing and movements then at least let's have individuals with good close control and dribbling who can open up defenses.

Seeing guys here and on Twitter defend their favourites at the expense of the team is saddening...Posing stats in games where the whole team plays well doesn't make you stand out but rather, it is how you perform when the team is playing badly, those moments where you lift the performance of the team with your individual quality...

Rashford won't play the way he is playing if he was at City. We can't all frown at his poor decision making yet the coach continues to start him. It just does not make sense. ETH should trust the young players in our team.

WhoDeyHause:
We need to serve them kabakaba because you have caught another easy fish like barka but when it's time to meet your mates like man shitty and real madrid you people will start hiding like a policeman who they gave Dane gun to go and fight UGM. That's how your fans were also praying for assnal and avoiding real madrid and psg in champions league draw. Nonsense club.

You are a mad man just like the hulk guy for Madrid thread...😂😂😂

Ellexy:
[Laurie Whitwell]: Manchester United not interested in Anwar El Ghazi, after proposal by agents. Right-wing options affected by Antony’s withdrawal + Sancho’s situation, but Pellistri was kept with a view to featuring, plus Garnacho could play there. Fernandes/Mount too, if necessary.

Good news.

AdisaOwala:
But is this not why he has been asked to delay his return?

Watch how he stays away from the team for an extended period...

He should be allowed back and if the authorities was any clarification from him, they can always reach out. If he was standing trial, I'd understand...

Meaghan is of Nigerian descent? I never knew.

engrelvis:
lf evidence r strong dey will go bro. Dis is England where media n women hold sway. Ronaldo n Messi v been very smart. Or r u saying these legends dnt smash?

Partey?

Paqueta is still playing even with the ongoing investigation.

If a player is guilty then suspend him but when the investigation is ongoing, continue to play him unless he is needed by the authorities to answer questions.

Well, they should also accuse Rashford, Bruno, Onana and Casemiro, I want to see how far the board can go with their stupidity...

KingTom:
I know, but e come be like say na retirement home we dey run we should've stopped with Pendu

Nani will do better than Antony even now.

It is not momentum that will grant you guys victory but the ability of your legal team to prove beyond a reasonable doubt all the claims you guys have made.

And you for how many?
I hear post production has begun for "The Elephant" II?

Last season was season one of "The Elephant" abi?

Arsenal don suffer for your hand sha...

Wow!!!

afrodoc2:
Hehehe. I hear Jones is back training at the club. Some say he is being prepped to be a youth team coach. Others say he is going to come back into the squad through the back door like Evans.

You guess is as good as mine.

OMG! This club will be the death of me...

afrodoc2:
Why would they allow Martinez to travel when he was already injured? Imagine allowing our only serviceable CB to travel to play for his country while injured.
When we face Brighton with Evans and Phil Jones now people will start looking for excuses.

Phil Jones? Which Jones again?

akwesenana:
Not necessarily a dumping ground. They have proven to be outside the jurisdiction of "moral police".

😂😂😂

raumdeuter:
What is the point of casting the boy openly in the media when he didnt have anything to do with the game on Sunday

Simple, "I prefer other players to him" or "other players fit our tactics better at this time"

That ETH comment is straight out of Mourinho playbook of scapegoating players

He just might be frustrated with Sancho's attitude as we all are. I am sure if Bayern paid so much for a player and he flops you wouldn't mind your coach and management calling him out.

Bayern's management is notorious for calling out underperforming players.

dreamxhaser:
I choose to ignore those 10hag fans boys quoting me yesterday because they are brainwashed. They can not be helped, we should focus on helping the club instead

One would think Ten Hag has not backed Sancho all the while.

dreamxhaser:
Look at how 10Hag choose to shame Sancho in public.

That's totally unprofessional.

Me, I have nothing against TenHag ooo, but the man fvk up for this matter

I do not understand some of you. What exactly is wrong with what Ten Hag said?

afrodoc2:
They don’t have the desire to sell him. They don’t have the courage to play him. They are postponing the day of reckoning for as long as possible until either they get the courage to play him or lose the desire and sell him OR the cancellers lose interest and move on.

If he hits peak form I suspect they'll damn the consequences and reintegrate him into the team. I do not see the Glazers letting him join another because they would rather not have to spend money to buy another forward next summer...

[quote author=Oasis007 post=125593454]You miss there is a clause in his deal to Getafe for probably a recall to the club in January?

Greenwood don turn Celebrity in Spain by the way.

, the statement that he will never play for the club again holds no water then, right?
