Marcus Rashford - signed on loan (injured - out for season?)

[Somniloquism]

Ramsey came on at the same time Terrence went off so hard to judge really how much was down to which change.

Jury still out for me.
He might be fit but some of his decision making is poor.
Maybe needs more game time but we don’t have lots of time, Ramsey looks a better bet right now.

We only have 12 PL games left...Rashford is gassed after less than an hour.

Couldn't be bothered even jogging after TAA for the second goal, after a 10 min spell of losing the ball every time he got it.  This is a guy meant to be fighting for his career at the top level.

I thought second hald he was really poor and rightly subbed.was decent 1st thought

I wouldnt want him permanently  personally due to the huge wages.but hoping he can at least help us while he is here.

[AV84]

People were saying he should start already and then when he does people are saying he looks wrecked after 60 minutes. Which is exactly why he didn't start before now.

He's contributed directly to 2 goals from free kicks already. He's been a good signing so far.

[AV82EC]

Good first half and then faded as Liverpool
And TAA in particular upped the tempo so he started to struggle. Rightly subbed but that’s 60 in his legs so hopefully he can move on from his first start.

Perhaps what hindered us, was that Digne was naturally worried about the threat of Salah so reluctant to get forward at times, Rashfords first touch is usually excellent, he was drawing players to him but he didn't always have an overload option. I liked the way UE switched things around so the 4 forward players rotated around the forward positions, you wonder if him and Ramsey could play together as Ramsey overlapping would be a big threat.

[Demitri_C]

We must remember  he hasnt played much football so will take a few weeks to build his fitness up. He can look a handful at times

[algy]

Yeah, I agree with Demitri there.  He's not really played for about 2 months, and I'd guess he's being expected to do more at Villa than he has been at Manchester United for quite some time.  Not too worried about him getting tired early at this stage.  It's to be expected really.

[Hookeysmith]

His first goal will not be far away

[Bent Neilsens Screamer]

His first goal will not be far away

My mate had him as next goal scorer at h/t, it caused much excitement when he rounded the keeper out wide and tried to chip the ball in, unfortunately it didn’t really get much better.
I still thought he offered something and naturally tired, he started poorly but he never hid.

Agreed. He's been better than I thought he would be, and I didn't expect him to play much past 60 mins on his first start.

Same. I was expected glimpses  but he has shown more than i expected at this stage.  Same with asensio

Both look a real handful.

For everyone moaning about his tracking for Terrence, Salah didn't track Digne for our goal, which if we had lost it would have meant a break was on for them.

Also, they also were not in the same position in the pitch when Liverpool broke with the foul on Ollie. TTA had come right over to the middle and had 10 yards or so on Rashford closer to our half. But we also had a reasonable amount back. If the bounce had favoured Digne instead of Salah, Rashford would have been away on his own as well.

Yes, in hindsight I would have preferred him to come back more, and would be fuming more IF they had both starting on the wing, but it is not like TTA ran right passed him.

[Mister E]

His first touch is excellent and he knows how he wants to use the ball; speed of mind is good. Last night, I think he caused Liverpool to tread a little more carefully than they perhaps might have done.
What disapointed me was that almost all his passes were poor. However, I'm reckoning that is rustiness rather than crapness.
