I've not really been impressed with Rashford since he break through season, since then he's been extremely wasteful, and not scored very many goals. Barely played in that as well, 15 minutes of the bench v Tunisia, full 90 in the B team v Belgium, 15 off the bench v Croatia and half a game in the wooden spoon play off.

Kane probably scored more Premier League goals last year than Rashford will ever score, people moan about Sterling, but Sterling had a great year in the Premier League and earned his starting place. I even thought Rashford was poor against Derby in the cup game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He started 17 games in the Premier League last season and scored 7 goals. 1810 minutes in game time which is pretty much 20 games. 7 goals is not a bad return. Also scored 3 in the Champions League, 3 starts, 345 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just find him as a player extremely frustrating, he's quick and strong, but he invariably picks the wrong option and runs down a dead end. I find his overall play lacking, because whilst he scores goals, he misses a lot of chances and doesn't contribute much else. That being said, it's probably my bias of always preferring a target man like centre forward over one that plays on the shoulder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Skitz Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 If Rashford has Pep or Poch as his manager no one would be questioning his place, Jose is a killer of young talent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a huge fan of Will Hughes and think we made a huge error selling him but on Sunday he wasn't great - other than being fouled for Watfords' equaliser he was average at best.

I thought he was excellent in the second half, he put in plenty of tackles, I don't think I saw him lose the ball. Considering Watford had very little possession, and he was up against Dele Alli, who he mainly kept in check, I thought he had a good performance. Didn't do too much going forward, but I wouldn't expect any side to be doing much of that against the top 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We lack a lot of creativity in midfield and forward areas. I rate Grealish over Maddison to be honest, regardless of division Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Replacement for a lot of the meaningless friendlies. It also gives countries a second route into qualifying for the European Championships (not sure about World Cups). Teams are grouped more or less according to rankings, with promotion and relegation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
