Why did the defenders allow him to face a shot?

His primary role is to control midfield.
You too petty ah!! grin grin grin

Sommer deal was 100% done in July, Inter will never sign a GK that can't kick a ball properly.

La Liga clubs signed 10+ GKs, and no single club bid for the mumu 🤣🤣

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

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

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.

A coach that wants to instill discipline wouldn't care. He would bench him for anybody. He definitely can't contest with City now, so this is his opportunity to lay the foundation for something big. If he uses one season to clear the rot, we will all know that that's what he is doing and support him

Are we talking about Rashford here? What's Rashford and indiscipline in the same sentence for?

Rashford has not been great but he's playing the same way he's always played. He's just in terrible form so everything looks terrible.

The discussion is about benching him for poor performance. But even in his poor form, he's still out best player up front. We've seen Gernacho start and look like a bum again and again. Martial can't play from the left again. We know the issue with Sancho. So what exactly is the option when you're benching Rashford?

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?

Are you joking? You saying we should not have Rashford and indiscipline in the same sentence? I give up on your matter. You guys just stan players blindly. It’s unfortunate!

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.

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?

When I said indiscipline, I was referring to the general way in which they play, and how he wants them to play. But if you insist that how they currently play is how ETH wants them to play and they're just experiencing terrible form, omo we're in bigger trouble.

If Rashford not wanting to pass, or being lackadasical to the game unless the ball is at his feet is how he is supposed to play under ETH, its only a matter of time before ETH is sacked

No. I give up on your matter. You guys see a player out of form and stick different useless tags to them.

You're saying Rashford should be benched for indiscipline. But you can't even mention any manner he's showed indiscipline so far.

Was Rashford indisciplined when he was banging in goals last season?
What has changed in his gameplay from last season to this season?

He's literally the same player but in terrible form so things are not coming off.

One can say he's inconsistent. But calling for the manager to bench him due to indiscipline is plain silly!
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by eph12(m): 5:20pm On Sep 18, 2023
The main reason why Rashford should be benched is not because there are better options, but because he needs to play for the team. I don't know how you can't see that this benefits everyone in the long run

That's not indiscipline please. Haba. He needs to adjust the way he plays. He needs to look up for options more often when in the box rather than try things on himself.

What he needs is adjustment because we have a real striker now in the team. They need to learn how to work together. It's obvious.

But how can you tag that as indiscipline he needs to get benched for.

He'll learn how to mix things up I believe. This was literally his first match with Hojlund.
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by CrystalTiger(m): 5:23pm On Sep 18, 2023
We could have been level if Rashford had found Holjund after Holjund gave him a nice pass and made a nice run.. Holjund even slide sef join, mtchew..

Don't know if Lana1 fit do that GIF..

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.

This is not the first time we have noticed this about Rashford. This is how he has always played. Its cute if we're playing counter and all Bruno needs to do is to look for Rashford as he is the only player up top. But many times when there are others in better positions, Rashford will most likely never give that final pass.

Indiscipline is when you show no concern to the game unless you're expecting a pass or the ball is with you. This is a very serious case of indiscipline.

He knew he fvcked up and after that started to try to cut to the outside to get passes into the box. We even scored a goal that was ruled out as a result of this.

He needs to learn to play with Hojlund, it's obvious and he will.

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.

And they had Foden. Let's not start drawing up silly comparisons.
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by ChristoBam: 5:40pm On Sep 18, 2023
Gernacho can't even take me on if he starts. For whatever reason.
Martial can't play 45 minutes on the left. Too much twist and turns and he's out for 3 months.
Sancho is the real indisciplined one. But fans as usual with their amnesia probably see him as prime Neymar right now since they've not seen him in a while.


Who exactly are we playing instead of Rashford.

It's a different thing if you're saying Rashford should be subbed off. I had the same opinion last match.
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by ChristoBam: 5:43pm On Sep 18, 2023
It's the same thing with Bruno then. When he's in poor form, man wastes balls like it's nobody's business. But everyone was calling for him to be benched then. VDB suddenly became prime Fabregas to some of the folks here.
