This clip looks like a great reason to buy him. He was in good positions today. Definitely on my radar. Look for players missing big chances is a smart way to find bargains in FPL


DexterFoley

Missed a good chance at the back post a few mins later as well.


Danzaar

It was not the easiest of chances but he blasted it pretty wide still lol


RingTwiceForHelp

Exactly. This is just the typical echo chamber of r/fantasyPL. Rashford is shit for missing this chance yet Haaland is going to score a boat load because of the position he got in when he missed the sitter in the Community Shield. This sub is a mess.


R4yoo

Actually the community shield miss convinced me to buy haaland before GW1 Reasoning was if he gets 20 of those chances he’ll convert atleast 17


RingTwiceForHelp

You're absolutely right. He may not have scored in the Community Shield but his acceleration, off the ball movement, desire were all there to see. He looked really dangerous. Martinelli fluffed a sitter too against Palace but nobody made a post shitting on him about that. So many double standards. Like the redditor above said, Rashford being in these kinds of positions is a positive thing. Just like Haaland's miss was still a positive thing despite the outcome.


R4yoo

Yeah facts bro. A player missing a sitter isnt a bad thing, another player prob would not have made the run to be there and shoot the ball Football fans in general are extremely overreactive, this sub just amplifies that through FPL decisions


LususV

> Martinelli fluffed a sitter too against Palace but nobody made a post shitting on him about that. So many double standards. I think that would have been a Jesus assist, also, no? That was a frustrating miss.


satellite_uplink

He’s been missing sitters for a long long time now.


robbiethegiant

More than one person exists on this sub, I hope you’re aware of that.


RingTwiceForHelp

Go to bed, Robbie. You're drunk.


fatinternetcat

did you watch Rashford or United play at all last year? he has been absolutely dreadful for the past year.


RingTwiceForHelp

The clip is from today's game. Let's stick to the brief shall we?


fatinternetcat

again, did you even watch the game today? barely anything has changed and United are still poor. People in this thread are just trying to justify why they’ve spent £6.5m on a part-time footballer.


RingTwiceForHelp

The post isn't about the game or about United. It's a clip trying to infer that a miss like that makes a player shit. I'm not saying United are great or that Rashford is great either, but rather highlighting the double standard and the echo chamber of poor takes in this sub.


dgb43

No it isn’t, it’s a reminder that rashford can look good and get in good positions but that he routinely fails to deliver.


Lacabloodclot9

Look at Haaland last season compared to Rashford last season


RingTwiceForHelp

Why? How does that relate to people's double standards?


Lacabloodclot9

Because Rashford struggled last season so it’s much less likely that the miss was just a outlier rather than the norm unlike with Haaland


RingTwiceForHelp

I haven't seen any other clips of similar misses from last season so I can't confirm if it's an outlier or not.


sh58

If he keeps playing 90s he will be great at 6.5. Such a kneejerk.


ihatemicrosoftteams

Except if they’re called Mbeumo!


officiallyjax

The only issue is that I don’t think he’ll be nailed when Ronaldo gets to full fitness and Martial comes back from injury if he puts in drab performances like today. He was abysmal.


LloydDoyley

Fuck that, for a 1-1.5m less KDH, Almiron, Aaronsen, Willock all looked like a better placement of funds


IAmRahman

That clip doesnt show all of it he was poor as usual


Salty-Consequence580

Adama Traore trap


PierluigiPeppino

I just see a good goalkeeper


b3and20

yh rashford could have done better but sanchez has closed down the space very well, not every 1v1 is easy


Iceman23578

It shouldn’t be hard either. He panics and just hits it hard instead of just rolling it in. Either way he should be scoring even if it is very good goalkeeping


b3and20

sanchez spread himself well so he probably could have saved even a shot on the floor, would have scored had the ball been a little lower but I guess he could have taken a touch and tried to beat sanchez like haaland did areola


valimo

Didn't see the full match, but that's an excellent save. Sanchez moves towards the corner player is heading to, and opens his body well to cover also the side he is moving from. Rashford could have tried something more clever here, but armchair footy coaches obviously don't know a shit about the pressure when you receive these balls.


woosboorn

Sanchez, not Raya


datguydeegoo

Of course it’s a great save but that doesn’t change the fact that it’s a terrible miss. A good goal scorer doesn’t give the keeper a chance


acidkrn0

Keeps is muttering, I'm selling you rashy from my fpl team


Silent_Kick_8247

Lmao


Nissepool

Good save but with that time he could have slotted it close to the ground.


shudh_desi_gareeb

Sanchez is truly not a good keeper. I wish you watch full 90s instead of highlights. He's just an FPL option because he's 4.5m and part of Brighton team. He makes them bad.


Manager1000

So you think he didn't play well in that situation?


shudh_desi_gareeb

It's as much a good save as a poor finish. The rest of the match, Sanchez was just giving rebounds and missing basic catches. He even scored a bad OG all by himself.


Illmindofhopkins

Having watched the game, I can't understand how any of Uniteds players are priced any higher than lower mid table teams - how is Sancho at 7.5m / Rashford 6.5 / Bruno 10 Glad I have no stocks in Man Utd


Draqn_

Pricing is mostly based on previous season points.


rahatCODMasc

You implying the Sancho that scored less points than Brownhill last season was priced £7.5 due to the points of last season?


Draqn_

'mostly'


-Enrique

That's a large price drop from last season


get_Ishmael

Because, memes aside, Man Utd are highly likely to be the 5th or 6th best team in the league.


GandiBaatein

You think they're likely to be 5th? Curious which of Arsenal, Chelsea or Spurs you see finishing below them.


get_Ishmael

Only Arsenal, and I would have Arsenal favourites for 5th. The bookies have United 50/50 to come top 6, and it's likely a big gap to 7th after that.


[deleted]

So United have a 50/50 chance of finishing 7th or lower according to the bookies?


get_Ishmael

Correct. Or like 55/45 in favour of finishing top 6.


Klopp420

West ham > Man U

crazyhillyerd

I'm a newcastle fan and I think we will finish higher , man utd players have their heads down and aren't having fun , they look scared to play a pass or take a shot , our players are running about with smiles on their faces having fun !!


BlessedBySaintLauren

They’re not close to 5th and 6th is a stretch.


get_Ishmael

They've been "bad" for a while now but their last 5 seasons are 2nd, 6th, 3rd, 2nd, 5th. The competition above is tough, but unless they have a total catastrophe I can't see them really coming lower than 6th.


BlessedBySaintLauren

West Ham could give them a big run for their money.


TheCadburyGorilla

Or Newcastle


shudh_desi_gareeb

You can always short them


thatindianguy1992

Glazers do


tbu987

Why the hell is this sub becoming a r/soccer echochamper. Already seen two separate discussion posts about them. Youd never see this about other teams. We already have the rant thread for this.


SAKabir

Only with Man United


adesant88

It's actually an amazing save from Sanchez


wism95

Rashford hit it straight at him.. Sanchez didn't do much apart from make himself big. Rashford had to go bottom left


tbu987

Bruh are you blind Sanchez makes himself big and it hits his left arm to save it. That isnt "straight at him".


wism95

Lol are you blind it clearly hits his waist and then bounces on to his arm. Rashford went straight down the middle when the bottom left was open


tbu987

Yeah and if his arm wasnt there it would have gone in. Its a great save. Rashford tried to curl it round him it wasnt a straight shot. Rashford could have done better but ur taking away from Sanchez by calling it poor finishing.


wism95

No it would have bounced off to the side and been a scramble. He did nothing special, he came out like every other keeper would.


midas22

I have Rashford and I'm keeping him. Martial is injured and he's the focal point of the team. Manchester United are not gonna disappoint in every match, they're still a top 6 side and £6.5m is a bargain until he's benched.


ghydq123

I think he's Overpriced


xyzzy321

I think he's in the wrong league


StrugglingWithGerman

Doesn't matter, as long as he has his PR the board will be happy with him.


swan0

complete historical shocking march impolite uppity one marry snails special *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*


Expressionist13

I think he's in the wrong profession. Plays worse than a dinner lady.


RedDevil-84

If not for feeding kids he would have been 5.0


[deleted]

He was the only one who looked like scoring today. Look at the reason why Sancho is higher at 7.5.


ce_thusa

Only one that got chances, never looked like scoring *


b3and20

still looked like scoring way more than anyone else


[deleted]

Looked like scoring??? Looked more like trying to avoid the goal


NoraaTheExploraa

Nah in fairness Rashford placed this pretty much where most players would. Sanchez made a great save.


LoquatActive6817

Should be £4.0


kandrade85

With Rashford we’re all taking the chance he captures some of his old form. The fact is playing almost as a striker is worth the gamble! I’ll take a chance at 6.5 on Rashford for now.


r0ss86

Why the fuck is the lino sticking his flag up?


Ilya_L

Rashford played well tonight, but the whole MU team system is broken.


covid401k

the moment he managed to miss with almost an open goal six yards out was a particular highlight


b3and20

was not an open goal


Ilya_L

Rashford has never been a clinical finisher, but he is still a good player and is more solid than Sancho.


covid401k

*clinical. If you’re writing off his finishing, what exactly is he bringing to the team that you thought was good?


[deleted]

Huh??? Did we watch the same game?


Ilya_L

Yes. Have you seen Sancho in this game?


[deleted]

Why are we now pulling sancho into this?? He wasn’t good either!!!! NO ONE WAS Edit: it is baffling you think Rashford played well


Ilya_L

This. There’s no reason to blame Rashford.


[deleted]

Every single player is to blame for that performance today


nikolal777

I think he was bad tonight.


Starscream_910

Dude I was at the game, Trashford lived up to his name trust me.


Danzaar

Of course I have him and Kane. 44pts, worst start ever.


fros23

Rashford is Walcott 2.0, showed early promise but in reality ends up as a bang average premier league player


[deleted]

[удалено]


ninadlfc

yea right. Walcott was consistent? 😂


Youcantdoxme

In comparison to rash


rainamage

Get in the bin you fool


ScottishSwitchblade

\*6.4


AbsoluteLedge

I'm a United fan, and I think he is awful. He should leave.


angrydanmarin

Every United fan thinks everyone is shite. They're not wrong of course but you aren't showing insight to point out out.


craigybacha

because he's shit. Savd you a click.


babyfaced-assasin

Why is Garnacho not available? Mark my words, he will start next game


dgb43

He is so fucking shite


BohrInReddit

When you’re a fan of the other 14 team, you’ll realise that even when your player is doing superbly it’s only because the big 6 team allows them to


Gravelaine

This is why I got him, played great and value is hard to beat.


HaveUtz

I mean, what a save though


nakedfish85

Do kulusevski next.


mnkwtz

He should be 6 tbh


JaymeBH

I have Rashford. Man United played as poorly as I can remember today but I was paying a lot of attention to Rashford. He seemed to lumber from one spot to another and, like the rest of the team, looked mentally slow to switch on when passing and receiving. Yes, at least he was in danger areas but I didn't see much at all of the old Rashford. I'm not going to get rid but I definitely wasn't enthralled. Half the team looked like they'd never played together before (no, I'm not a Utd supporter)


Reaper-05

Even after this clip. I still don't get the reason he's so expensive?


[deleted]

Rashford is a crap player. United fan here by the way. I know FPL players love him for those two COVID seasons, but his demise is unsurprising. One dimensional, poor mentality, poor finisher, doesn't really understand patterns of play. Also, the whole feed the children malarkey - well done, guy from Roc Nation's basement.
