glory boy rashford made to look shite today, by semi competent defending
he's just another welbeck. the class of '92 is not going to be repeated, no matter how much they convince themselves that their academy is the bollocks. oh and that lingaard is shite too

I'll be honest, I know this sounds both ridiculous and bitter but he did not impress me one bit at Old Trafford against us.
Twice he found himself unmarked 6 yards out and managed to score chances that any academy player would 9 times out of 10. Wasn't impressed with his movement at all and for me nothing to mark him out from any other decent young striker at any PL academy.
it was a bit of a neil mellor moment. only difference is mellor scored a fucking corker of a last minute winner, both rashford's goals were gimmies. then again maybe the goals against midgetland were decent, not that i saw them, i don't bother watching that europa shite
Yes, isn't it strange how Watford and West Brom's defences suddenly made Rashford look less Van Basten, and more Sanogo wasn't it? Perhaps it isn't compulsory to shit your pants when he runs at you Gabriel style.....but we all know we wouldn't want a lump like Jonas Olsson who managed to make him look what he is - a gangly 18 year old with a turn of pace and not a lot else
Notice how lightweight their midfield looked at times too? Strange they looked like beasts amongst men last weekend

Said it last week after Manure game..Arsenal are the gift that keeps giving to clubs in trouble or decline..Moyes Utd, Chelsea in their disastrous season are two prime examples.. Lose to all and sundry but Arsenal lie down and die for them.

Not the same midfield that Arsene said cost a lot of money??

I have to wonder if this is largely because of Ramsey being in the middle. When he was there, he was anywhere but in the middle, thus allowing free runs at our defenders. It funny how when he was shifted wide (he should have been shifted to the bench), how Elneny shifts there and suddenly, we look more solid.
