14 - Marcus Rashford

[Maradona37]

Again, you're not watching the games. Rashford works hard here, tracks back and presses.
Could have had even more goals but was unlucky with woodwork etc.

Ok.

I watched the PSG and Girona games and he didn't impress me. That's just in the last few weeks. He had moments, but his general game didn't appeal to me.

I won't write him off completely, but based on what I have seen over his entire career, I can't imagine him suddenly turning into a guy who plays a huge part in winning league titles and CLs (allowing for the fact he's at a better team and bigger club, now).

I think he even earned another penalty and red card but the game was over by then so ref showed mercy

Rashford having a good season doesnt depend on Barca winning the league or CL.

Likewise if Barca were to win it doesnt mean he has had a great season either.

Performances matter to assess that by end of season either way.

Precisely - by the end of the season.

Not in September or October. In fact I play such a long game that I don't even think one season is enough to assess him adequately. Especially him who is known for losing motivation when he gets a big contract.

I am old-school and tend to only rate plenty of players as world-class if they're been quality for multiple seasons. Unless they're someone who is a guaranteed superstar and young in their career.

Folk are discussing how he has played so far as far as I can see.

No one is claiming it is already a top season.

He's doing more than alright, great player for us... I actually like him and what he's doing for us a lot. It looks like he feels at home here, it's a no brainer that if the 30M clause is real we should buy him straight away. Sure, maybe he didn't work out as #9 from the get go - but if we want him there he'll find a way to adopt. He'll never be a Suarez #9, he'll always stray to the left a little - but we can find a way to make it work for everybody.

That happens all the time on here (not by you to be fair). People play 'I told you so' based on single games. It's barcaforum (in fact football fandom in general) at its finest. People judging by one off games.

People claiming anyone who criticises a player is wrong based on one good game.

Even the guy who liked your post and who I get on with - @MasQueCulé - said anyone who wanted Fermin sold is a fraud, all based on a group game against Olympiakos.

And you judge how my N-word? Stop trying to play smart, what's you'r point?

It's funny you're trying to play smart alec with me when I read your post above, spotted many flaws in it, but decided to leave it so as not to get involved in more arguments. Want me to go through it and tell you everything that is way off?

The fact you think Rashford will ever be good as a 9 - for example - proves you're utterly, utterly clueless about the player, and his past.

Guys like you who try to put a positive spin on everything and overrate every Barca player deserve Barca to be struggling financially, to be honest. You're no better than the deluded top reds on Redcafe. I have no respect for copers like you.

 

[Maradona37]

And my point is that - unlike guys like you - I don't flip flop on players based on one game, or after a few months at the start of the season. I am consistent in my views, until I see a real reason to change them.

I wait for a much larger sample size and don't get excited by meaningless goals in early group stage CL games against modest opposition.

 

[SeloBarca]

Not perfect but hes playing better than hes done for years.

 

[ZenI]

Also... how many times will you inform everybody on this forum that you'll leave and than come back and than leave again and than come back etc etc etc.

You read my posts and "spotted many flaws in it"? Dude, the fuck are on about??? You want me to tell you what is way off with you?
You have "no respect for copers like" me? Dude, give me and yourself a break - maybe also listen more to your psychotherapist and take your meds... Football is shitz and giggles, but I've been a Barca fan for over 25 years. You on the other hand come of as somebody who needs therapy, overall, to improve your wellbeing

 

[ZenI]

Stop fucking about Maradona37, thought you said you wouldn't come back to this forum again like 10 times. I have no problem with you overall, stay and enjoy - but don't be such an absolutist fuck-face judging others when you can't even keep track of yourself.

Caught talking bollocks so switch to personal attacks - not the first time I have seen you do this you Jew imbecile. You're an imbecile and I will not be replying to you again.

Have you ever even been to Catalonia or been inside the Camp Nou? Or do you just not have the stones to watch your local team in Sweden (I think) because they don't win?

Plastics like you should never judge me.

Who did I judge? You're the one who got short with me, I didn't even acknowledge you.

How is thinking Rashford is an average footballer and expressing that strongly being a cunt to people? Explain.
