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

[garyellis]

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.

Rashford didn't bother his h*le, that's the long and short of it. He saw that break and play developing and could have broken his last sweat to get back, it wasn't a lightning quick break...but he wasn't bothered. That's the main reason his career is in freefall to start with. 60 mins into his first start in a Villa shirt...

Any whataboutery comparison with Salah is bogus...Salah is given licence by Liverpool to stay high on the right, hes arguably the best player in the PL, hes everything Rashford isn't basically.

This is just Rashford hate isn’t it? How do you know he was t given licence by Emery to stay up the pitch? I’ll answer for you. You don’t.

Brontebilly often claims to be ITK on Unai’s inner thoughts.

It’s basically BS and shows a complete lack of understanding at a professional level compared to Football Manager.

Despite only playing for half of the game, Rashford had the joint second-most touches in the opposition's box of any Villa player on Saturday.

He also created the most chances of any player for his side - with two of the three he created resulting in goals - and registered the most dribbles.

Not sure if those stats speak highly of Rashford, or poorly of the rest of the team today.

Oh I know.

BBC gossip, citing a Spanish source, saying that Barca have made Diaz from Liverpool their priority signing for the summer. Don't know how that would impact on Rashford's dream move, but it's interesting.

[VillaTim]

He's a level above what we have had on that left wing. The quickness of feet mind and body when he's given the ball is brilliant , sends defenders spinning. Absolutely top level player .

[kippaxvilla2]

I am happy with him trying to play his way back into form rather than us potentially crippling ourselves with permanent millstone financially around our neck.

[aj2k77]

I love his direct running, he moves forwards and takes risks and takes players on. He can be hit and miss with his decision making but I really like him. I was wrong, if he's not up to speed now, then in another few weeks he is going to be awesome. Let's sign him.

[Villafirst]

He stagnated at Manure. Mostly down to a succession of crap Manager appointments at Old Trafford. Worst of all is probably Amorim, who isn't good enough for the Premier League.

[Mellin]

Amorim's showing himself right up. Wedding himself to a dysfunctional system because he wants to be seen as an innovator. He's Gerrard with a tan.

[AV84]

A fair few of their fans seem to be hoping Amorim goes before the summer and Rashford can just come back to them and be the player he is for us. I suppose it's possible, but the manager wasn't the only one giving Rashford a reason to leave.

Seeing the slow motion replay of the first goal I think that is a world class assist from Rashford, he was shaping to shoot but the touch from Gusto meant he had to readjust in the blink of an eye and poke it with his studs back across goal. Usually it would be the other way around where the attacker would have a bad touch and only on the replay would you see why.

All Rashford needed was to be surrounded by good players.

t would appear that simple wouldn't it.  Fantastic loan signing.

Good coaching, man management and a positive enviroment can't be underestimated. We have that, meanwhile ManU are closer to being us at the tail end of Gerrard.

Difference is it’s embedded in the club culture there rather than just being linked to the manager.
