14 - Marcus Rashford

[TheStig]

This was the perfect game to try to build his confidence back after a series of bad performances. I can't understand why he didn't get some playing time.

Because it's more important to get Raphinha into rhythm and form he had been lacking all season.

Rashford will play when Rapha needs to rest, that's why he's here.

Despite what's been said in public, Flick clearly doesn't rate him. I think he'll be off back to Manchester in the summer.

I do agree though, would like him to get minutes and possibly try at #9 considering how useless Ferran and Lewa are. Again, would start him vs Newcastle rotating CF with Raphinha.

He was important to us when Raphinha was injured, if he's off back to ManU then we also need an LW backup in the summer Pissed we couldn't bring Lookman in such case...

 

[El Ilusionista]

Why doesn't dude get any minutes lately, he had a long period where he played good and Flick just stopped playing him?

Because he is crap, everyone sees it

 

[Barcaman]

Should be getting some minutes in these kind of matches.

Something is about.

Doesn't make sense. Raphinha can play on right wing as well.

Maybe he was late this week. Flick does not take well to that and he has history of it.

I read that Flick has changed it to a massive fine instead if you're late.

If it continues like this he will and should be sent back to Manchester.

Yeah rather than starters being dropped as a certain rule but can still take it into account on team he picks.

 

[Richard.H]

There has to be a reason he didn't play today. If it's not an injury/discomfort, I fear that he was either late for training again or Flick doesn't have confidence.

 

[JamDav1982]

Ferran not coming on also was strange.

Not strange given how shite he has been so much as he and Lewa never really play 90 mins.

Isn't saving him for newcastle thats for sure
In short, hes absolutely finished here

 

[TheStig]

Doesn't make sense. Raphinha can play on right wing as well.

But you don't need to move him if you have Roony there. This Rashford experiment will hopefully be over in a couple of months while Roony stays as our player, we should prioritize developing him instead of a United reject. I would be very shitty if we made Roony wait so long to rest Yamal and then not even play him when it happens.

 

[FCBarca]

There is an oddity to what is going on with Rashford going back to the heavy knock to the knee he suffered vs Mallorca but he did look good against Bilbao 9 days ago. So injury recovery seems less likely

A tactical explanation? Perhaps saving him to unleash vs Newcastle, we'll see. Just surprised Flick hasn't been directly asked about this yet in press conferences

We finally figured that he's trash and playing against Sevilla would just probably further inflate his already inflated stats?
