14 - Marcus Rashford

[Loki]

if he ever wants to take that starting spot from Raphinha.

The only way he ever takes the starting spot from Rapha is when Rapha is injured or needs rest. Rapha's work without the ball can't be compensated in Flick's system. It's no surprise, that most games we didn't win this season were without Rapha starting. Rapha is together with Pedri and Lamine irreplaceable.

 

[Barcaman]

Still very much effective but as few others noted, he will need to work a bit harder off the ball if he wants more chances from Flick.

The Barcelona head coach also commented on the future of Marcus Rashford, who is being linked with a return to Manchester United at the end of the season.


“I think he has a lot of potential to show. We always focus on goals, the final pass… because there’s always room for improvement. But with his speed and technique, he can give us so much more. I’m delighted, but he has much more potential,” said Flick.

 

[Andresito]

Incredible how much shot power this guy has. Rarely finesses his shots, just bangs them.

What an finish. This guy is joke.

Like half of the squad, cant finish anything.

 

[FCMessi]

Even a broken clock is on target twice a month kind of cardio player.

 

[Barcaman]

Not good in the first half but gives the assist for Yamal goal.

Assist was corner for Araujo header

 

[Horatio]

He won the ball back for first goal.

He won the ball back for first goal.

It was good press by Rashford but Frenkie was actually the one who sprinted from dead angle to strip the ball away from opponent's feet. But even Frenkie recognized Rashford's effort and went to celebrate with him before running to Lamine.

Rashford had few bad games in a row but last two games he has been good once again, nice to see that.

 

[FCBarca]

It was a collective pressing effort that led to the wonder goal from Lamine, all one touches - Rashford to Frenkie to Lamine, goal

No. Frenkie didn’t touch the ball during pressing.

Rashford initialised the pressing with Martin , and Frenkie came in to support which led to Rashford being able to nick the ball. Yes, both were crucial but Rashford was one to dispossess and pass to Frenkie.

 

[vuji_31]

This guy will cost us, like Olmo costed us against Sociedad.

He is terrible finisher, we have like 5-6 clear chances every match

 

[Birdy]

Great game yesterday, apart from the terrible 1v1 miss

2nd time within days he misses a golden 1v1, after Elche...
He should work on that
