The Footie Thread

Marcus Rashford is a perfect illustration of everything that is wrong at Manchester United.

I don’t know too many United fans who think otherwise, and I would suggest they are better placed to comment on the side they support than those who simply watch highlight packages or catch the odd game.

Using your logic, unless you watch a particular team on a regular basis your not allowed to comment?

Rashford may not be the answer but i dont think he's the main reason of the problem.

I knew it.

“That red card changed the course of the game.”

Drivel.

Didn't help, but before that Spurs were running round them with ease.

Drivel.

I don’t think I have seen a manager who is so poor when it comes to post and pre manager drivel - some of the stuff he comes out with is baffling and beyond double facepalm , it’s almost as if he is trying to justify his job by what his says

Comment, by all means.

But accept that those who actually watch the entirety of every game, many of them from the stands, are perhaps going to disagree with you.

When the journo upstaged him the other week .. he looked completely stupid

Didn't think he could top it but there we go

The red card did change the course of the game.

After all, there were one or 2 phases of play after that which were decent for Utd. Before that, nothing

Thanks i will.

Perhaps those who are heavily invested in watching/attending all of Manchester United games sometimes get it wrong too? I mean, just because you go doesnt make you right. When i watched Bromley on a regular basis, some of comments i heard from the old gaurd was simply outrageous.

Come back later - it’s laugh at United time

That’s fair enough. Happy to join in

Odds on ETH leaving are at 10/11

Looking at the odds to replace him

Southgate favourite
van Nistelrooy then the likes of Tuchel and Potter next

Sandra who works in Macari's Chippy every Saturday would do a better job then the clown in charge now.

Also the thread already has a Sniper (@Pin-seeker) another would be too much.

It’s very subjective, of course it is. But I rarely hear United fans backing Rashford. Haven’t done for a long, long time. And the frustration at his performances is palpable when I’m at games.

It’s easier to judge the feeling when you’re invested in a club, especially as a match going supporter, than it is from a highlights reel.

 

[Tashyboy]

I agree though the red card was unfortunate. It was only a yellow in my opinion.

What I don’t understand about the “ tackle” was he definitely slipped but stuck his foot out on purpose to commit the foul. He had no idea where he was going to connect and ended up giving the ref a choice to make. Why did he not pull out when he slipped.
That aside. How many times did Maddison get fouled today

Maybe time to give Moyes another go - did well saying West Ham from a relegation fight and got them back up the table a little and winning a trophy

Yeah but seriously would you let ETH loose in a chippy. He would be selling salad with pie chips and gravy.

Why Rashford was left on the park when you are down to 10 men is beyond me. She. You need 10 men to put a shift in Rashford would not be most people’s choices.

I was in Bristol a couple of years ago in a trendy cafe, not my choice . It was first thing, we were away for the weekend. I ignored the muesli, porridge, protein shakes etc and went for a bacon buttie, classic choice. It came with lettuce on the side of the plate . What the heck? Still makes me shudder now.

Maybe ETH owns it?

The Journo exposed him that day. The owners shouldve been looking for a replacement within minutes of seeing that.

It's not uncommon for fans to have a scapegoat at every club. Working and living in London I've heard many Manchester United fans blaming Rashford over the last 18months or so and whilst his performances have been below expectations, there's been a few more players in that team who have been worse but seem to get a free pass.

He looks like a Vegan type of person.
