Van Basten on Rashford

No less than I'd expect from the great man.

van Basten would be the first name I'd put down on my list of centre forwards for an all time XI.

Just simply the perfect striker.

Whereas the idiot he was discussing/describing is no more than a journeyman midfielder that was always a victim of ridiculous hyperbole.

No more needs to be discussed really ...

Yea, no one should ever try to understand a player's drastic drop in form... It should always just be "he's crrrrapppp, sell himmm... wahhh wahhh"
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Your empathy is touching, but does it apply to Antony too, who is being sued by his former girl friend and may end up in jail?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
yes, yes it does.

This is what I meant in an earlier post about people trying to lump users into groups and making assumptions. You simply can't keep track of everyone's view on every issue.

It's not about being pro-rashford... It's about basic empathy.

If a player isn't right mentally, they shouldn't be putting themselves up for selection.

The fact people are creating 'mental health issues' to protect Rashford is pretty low.

He’s been generally excellent for us more often than not since 2016
----------------------------------------------------------------------
stripping out penalties, entire premier league careers:

rashford - 114 goal contributions (g+a), one every 164 minutes

martial - 88 goal contributions, one every 150 minutes

he's a slightly fitter, and slightly sh!tter, version of martial, but people bend over backwards to defend him in a way that doesn't happen with other players.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Stripping away penalties? Why because they don't help your argument? Do we strip away Harry Kane and Haaland when talking about those?

Also Marital has played a lot more games as a central striker than Rashy has too so your argument you've created isn't even as good as you thought it was. 😂
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Lots of wingers have far better stats than Rashford, and also much better attributes outside of scoring goals.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Some do for sure. He's definitely not among the very elite. His stats are far from embarrassing though for the so called most competitive elite league in the world.

Rashford can be a very effective player when used the right way. I'm not sure we are doing that anymore and it's quite evident too that he's got to do more himself as well. I do think a lot of his body language issues is probably down to off the field stuff. If you forget football for a second he doesn't look like a guy who isn't happy in life at all right now.

He's never been world class in my eyes but he's better than what we are currently seeing and better than his detractors say he is too.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
What does Van Basten know about football? I rely on some of the posters here to issue more authoritative accounts on Rashford’s horror shows: a hidden injury, the death of a cousin, his inability to drink with his mates in Ireland without being reminded of his obligations towards the idiotic fans who pay his wages…. I refer Van Basten to the expertise of “Glazers Out” for a start.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
some of the dumbest things about the game that I have heard have come out of some fantastic players

Spoken like someone with no empathy or understanding. What a surprise.

So many reasons your post is wrong... But I am not even gonna get drawn into it... You are a cunnnt. Look forward to you getting banned and sloping off again.

there is no measure of "mental health" there is no trigger to say that someone is capable of functioning or not. its the managers job to judge these things.

I'm might be a cuuuuuunt, but you are wrong.

I'm all for the club having a Duty of care, but not at the expense of the rest of the club.

No, it's upto the player to be honest about how they feel and how ready they are. Managers arent psychic
