Lawl, trying to get the comedy defending in early!

 

[vanandjuanunited]

Bailly with a stormer so far

 

[fez]

Sociadad are under the impression they can get at us if they close us down and run at our defence.

They are right.

 

[Converge]

A Tash-ford classic there.

 

[vanandjuanunited]

Rashford couldn't score wood at the moment

 

[vanandjuanunited]

How is that not a booking for the Sociedad player on Bruno

 

[fez]

Oh FFS RASHFORD YOU UTTER ****.

We really need to sell Rashford if anyone will pay us decent money for him. He hits the ball at the keeper so bloody often.

Also, how was AWBs tackle a yellow and that one on Fernandes not far worse.

 

[vanandjuanunited]

Keeper in no man's land and zero pressure on him

 

[Alex h]

Bruno

Bruno showing Rashford how to finish

 

[fez]

We would genuinely be trash and Ole would be sacked a long time ago without Bruno. Amazing how a world class player can carry a side so much.

 

[fez]

McSauce is on it tonight. Breaking the lines and driving forwards well.

 

[Converge]

Yeah I think I’m in agreement. If Real or some stuff comes along for Rashford, I’d happily sell him on. He’s a glorified Valencia. Just runs at players and loses it 9/10.

James away brought down no booking

 

[fez]

Greenwood gets the ball in space on the wing and looks up to see Rashford waiting with the entire defence in the middle. Cavani would have been making a sprint across the box to invite the cross.

Someone needs to take Rashford down a peg and show him that hes not billy big ********. Someone said he has 2 goals in the last 13 games or something like that.

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Bruno, your best player since Ronaldo?

 

[fez]

Bruno, your best player since Ronaldo?

Easily. Its not even close. Even when hes having a **** game he will still assist someone or score a vital goal.

 

[Alex h]

Bruno, your best player since Ronaldo?

Yeh like fez said no one else comes close

 

[vanandjuanunited]

Can Maguire stop playing long balls. His completion rate must be in single digits

I'm not sure why you would label Rashford as "billy big cahones". He's one of the most unassuming and humble young footballers you could meet. If you wan't to criticise his finishing or decision making then fair enough but I don't see any hint of a bad attitude from him. In his defence I don't think he is a number 9, at least not yet but he's seldom playing in that role at the moment. I think his decision making can improve but he's still a young player and has a greater work rate than Martial and is not a poorer finisher. Attitudinally I'd have bigger questions over the frenchman. The problem for United is that they aren't creating enough chances. Cavani has had 1.3 chances per game. Michael Antonio at West Ham has over two and Kane >3 (in a Jose team). So every time a Rashford or a Martial or a Greenwood misses it feel pivotal to the result.
