We need Rashford to step up tonight.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

We need the others to step up. This isn't Rashford FC. There's no excuse for the others. They are international footballers playing at one of the biggest clubs in the world.

Nowhere to hide. They have to start delivering.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I agree however this is not me having a go at Rashford but goals are his main offering. Antony and Bruno offer other things. Weghorst isn’t good enough.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Antony doesn't offer anything really. He's been a huge disappointment so far and a big reason we don't score a lot of goals as he doesn't make anything happen for the striker. His final ball has been an absolute joke all season.

We need him to start living up to the hype and quickly though. If he flops then this could end by being ETH's Maguire. You can't spend that amount of money on one player and get nothing back.

It is somewhat reassuring EtH doing the right thing by not playing Maguire regardless of his fee or being the
(so called) captain.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
As long as The Harry is sitting on the bench, we have a decent chance of a result.

I wouldn’t say he offers nothing but he does need to improve his play in the final 3rd. If he still hasn’t improved this time next year it will be a big worry.

They’ve shown they aren’t capable of scoring consistently. Rashford has.

---------------------------------------



I still find it odd you'd single Rashford out above all others as somebody who needs to step up.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Because Weghorst has shown he can’t and Bruno and Antony have been decent lately but are not goalscorers.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Bruno hit 18 the season before last.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
9 from play.

Process is singling out Rashford because he has the highest chance of performing, not to have a go at him.

Picking Sancho for example would just be a waste of time.

To be honest I’d rather see Rashford up front, with either Martial or Sancho (Garnacho when fit) on the wing.

Exactly. I have been critical of Rashford at times but I’m under no illusion that he’s our best chance of a goal.

What does he offer?

Genuinely don't think we'd have been any worse off had Pellestri been given a run of games. Even when he's frozen out and gets the off cameo he makes things happen. He actually got an assist before Antony did too despite hardly ever playing for us which says it all.

Antony is no Mason Greenwood that's for sure. We haven't upgraded with him.

Genuine question

How is a forward supposed to function in our team due to our playing style?

Our plan is to sit back and hit on the break. Which has suited Marcus and he has the figures to show how good he has been with that style.

Apart from that we hardly put anything in to the box. We keep ball in the opposition's half and pass it back and forth till we lose it and put mf can't cope with the break.

Antony cuts in and shoots, Marcus runs and runs and runs and shoots or losses it.

Bruno can play a brilliant ball from our half but shoots at every opportunity when in the opposition's.

Even case and Fred and Sabitzer will take a shot.

No one passes to a striker. Martial makes runs initially then disappears. Weggy is always trying to make a rum but nada.

So it's a case of are our strikers chit so no one passes, or no one passes so our strikers are chit?

Even Greenwood had to make his own goals. Where's kane like for Son and vice versa, all of city look for haaland etc

Makes sense. You don’t hear Spurs fans hoping Lucas Moura steps up do you?

Balance, work rate, decent ball retention when he uses his brain.

Yes. Antony doesn’t have a great strike rate. Neither does Bruno from play.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Not Weghorst though. Not after months of constant rubbish. Yes Antony, Bruno, and every other player have been useless, but Weghorst is the literal worst. I'm not watching this match.

Being incredibly kind there to him. He's an 84m winger. He's meant to score and make goals and get us off our seats.

He needs to massively improve.

But they offer things Rashford doesn’t. I’d say Bruno and Antony while not being brilliant have been better than Rashford in the last month or so.

Was listening to RVN the other day and he basically said players were told to just look for him. He singled out Scholsey as the reason for his goals. Said he would find him no matter what.

Our current lot would have meant RVN failing here

Look at the amount of chances our players miss from Bruno’s passes.

Rashy has the figures but is the most frustrating player for me.

He needs to make some of his runs sometimes not all his runs all the time

The standard procedure seems to be a lot of chances and no goals.
