How about they just give honest appraisals of players' performances? So, maybe not blow smoke up one player's arse after a really poor performance just because he is the alternative to Sterling and not hammer another player after what was definitely a better performance just on the basis that he is Sterling? I don't actually think most City fans hate Rashford, regardless of him being a united player, I know I don't, I find him pretty irrelevant tbh. But I do massively resent the way his performances are viewed compared to the way Raheem's are. But it isn't surprising, England is full of fucking morons.

Why do you care what the media think?

All that counts is what Southgate thinks.

Personally i think they've both been equally ineffective and that's a problem for him.

You have to remember that Young is so one footed that every time he gets the ball he turns back towards his own goal so the only pass he can make is square or backwards. Is even worse when we play with Maguire as left centre back as we did in the first two games as he is doing exactly the same thing. This is really killing momentum and cutting off supply to the front players.

On retrospect he was better than OK - goal asside.
Delph should play there though.
 
Crap game, Belgium deserved to win and they would have if both teams had played their main players. However, the tournament starts on Tuesday for England let's see what they can do.

Rashford is a good player but far too overhyped by bellends like Hoddle and Crimson. Sterling will start on Tuesday for sure.

Stones was excellent tonight shame about the injury.
 
The big difference tonight was the total inability of Vardy and Rashford to hold the ball up. Kane and Sterling have done it in spades.

I've seen it said a fair amount on here tbh. I wouldn't be pushing for us signing him but I wouldn't be dead against it either. But I do think bluehammer is missing the point. I don't think this is about city fans hating rashford or about rashford being a united player. It is merely about the difference in the way the two are treated relatively by both England fans and English pundits. The ridiculous way that shit things rashford does are turned into something to praise is just another way to shit on Sterling imo and pretty fucking snidey way at that. I can't find it in myself to want anything other than England to get utterly destroyed at the soonest opportunity purely because of the way Sterling is treated and rashford being constantly praised for fuck all is part of the equation.
