14 - Marcus Rashford

Useless fuck first 45 vs Espanyol. Balde providing ALL the attacks on the LW.

Not even cardio and pressing.

Too old, too expensive for the occasional sprinting and banger especially for a bankrupting Barcelona.

Not to mention ALL the corners this dumb lazy fuck has wasted and insists on wasting.

Not sure why he's starting so many games. He wasn't intended to be a starter and he is really not that quality

Off the bench he will be a huge asset in important games of the season though

We can't play him, Raphinha and Yamal together. Both Rashford and Raphinha benefit from having a proper CAM.
I think we can, but Lamine needs to be in the center, not Rapha, because Rapha's passing isn't good enough to have a good output. Rapha is a worker and a scorer, but creativity in the last pass and tight ball control is more important in that position.

Rashford - Lamine - Raphinha isn't ideal either, but should work better. Rapha can play on the #10, when the opponent is more open and we have more counter-attacks. Against organized defensive lines, he's lost on that position.

That means two of our best players move just to accomodate Rashford. Would rather bet on Fermin or Olmo at CAM and only play Rashford when the others rest.

Obviously Olmo or Fermin are better on the #10. I said it's not ideal but if Flick doesn't have a choice, I'd put them this way rather than Rapha in the mid. RW is Rapha's origin position anyways, no?

It's crazy how some overrate Rashford because they only look at stats. Imagine changing positions of our best players so that bum can play like he did yesterday.

I'm sure Flick will stop with this nonsense now that he has Fermin and Olmo back.

I honestly don't see the hype every time i see him. Better than his age, sure .. Useful, that too .. Potential starter for a good team, yes .. But until now he didn't show that trademark touch that all world class attakcers have. Other than explosiveness and good mouvements of course. Affaire à suivre
Just needed to tell myself from 8 years ago that I was right. He never had it

Even if you look at the stats

18 league games
2 goals

The likes of Memphis Depay even did better.
