I wouldn't take Rashford as a special parameter. I would rather say that it's a good thing that he left. How good a game-changer he is is shown by the fact that he is not a constant starter even in Barcelona. His laziness without contributing to defense is undesirable for the team, especially in the PL, where it is obviously one less player on the pitch.

I haven't been watching Bacelona games recently, but I watched him start and play vital part in most of their games last season, and saying that he's lazy and can't survive in the PL is strange - this is someone who tore the league apart in his early 20s.

We've seen players like Hazard, Mata, Silva with zero defensive contributions conquered the league - just saying.

The fans should be heard. Chelsea should be looking to engage with their fans and if the majority consensus is they want Clearlake out then someone from the board has to take the initiative to get them out. If the fans want Boehly to have full control they have to do something about it. I think protesting before home games is hardly going to change anything, they should formulate a strategy.

Apparently they want the boards out - clearlake are the majority share owners so they're literally the owners. There have been protests since Enzo the Mascara was sacked.

Yesterday, he entered the game in the 63rd minute.  Look at the whole season, very few games he played all 90'.
He wasn't even a starter at Aston Villa when he was on loan.

Imagine Rooney playing like Rash; https://www.youtube.com/shorts/JOq9sO7rO0A

Of course, there is no disputing that he is talented, but he is lazy. Plus, he missed so many 100% chances that he had to finish routinely.

In modern football, you don't have enough comfort to have players jogging during the match. Imagine what it would look like in Liverpool's prime, when they played the most serious pressing.

You brought a few seconds clip from his PL game last season when the whole team was in a shit hole, not disputing facts that's he's not good defensively but he's not as lazy as you think - he's an attacker for goodness sake  I want clips from Bacelona.

7 goals and 11 assists from someone without 90' football is pretty decent, that's more contributions than Saka and Palmer this season.

This is true, none of the players we have would've survived in that era - ALOT is lacking in today's football world.

We'll see..  The way I see it, this is a derby between fierce rivals and the underdog usually plays a lot better than how they're supposed to play given the situation. 

But yeah, kinda sticking my neck out here and if I'm wrong then all I lose is 25 bucks.  Lol.  Gonna he fun tho, esp if it's 0 - 0 at HT. 

Now I'm wondering if you ever made that bet  Manchester city were totally outclassed in every area. Total dominate from Manchester United under the new boss, saw a different Manchester United. Well deserved.

As I said...  Theatre of dreams.  Lolol. 

But yeah, a friend of mine says it's kinda also Guardiola's fault as he's over tweaking the squad again and using the wrong players?  Dunno tho.  I didn't watch the match so I can't add anything.

So wait, Carrick was already in charge against City?  Damn...  That's a nice win.

The first clip I found, and there are as many similar compilations as you want. I follow the Man United subreddit, and they often post Rashford's "effort" there, even in Barcelona.
I really hope that Barcelona will somehow find the money to buy him in the end. He scored many goals. I would like him not to return to MU.

It's hard to believe now, but PSG was after Rashford, United were forced to extend Rashford's contract on the player's terms, giving him a higher salary, and ironically, this was the end of Rashford. I don’t remember exactly whether he was injured or not, but after receiving a fat contract, Rashford stopped trying and quickly regressed. Even though he had unlimited credit from Ten Hag. It seemed that he wanted to prove himself at Aston Villa, then at Barcelona, ​​but none of the clubs are betting on him, which says a lot.

The attackers were the same as before except for Semenyo and little tweaking at the back due to injuries but they won 10-1  with the same lineup few days before the game. No excuse

Yes Carrick took over from Fletcher to see the team through the season. He's back.

Bacelona are broke, he's likely going to return home now that Amorim is gone and done for. He's not getting enough attention up there - poor TV rights.

What are the chances Maresca will replace Guardiola? There are rumours about this happening whenever Guardiola leaves Manchester City. If it is true, he should wait until the end of the season to avoid upheaval at the club but some reports suggest he could quit much sooner.

If Maresca takes up a job before the end of the season then he would be out of contention in the event Guardiola leaves. It seems as long as Maresca stays unemployed his name will be linked to the theory because the Manchester City board could be lining him up as a replacement.

I don't see him abandoning the project halfway after his recent transfer activities though.

Enzo the Mascara was linked to many Italian jobs before and after he left Chelsea - could it be that he rejected those offers to wait for Manchester city offer in the summer? The puzzle is all making sense now.

I think since Arteta looks like he isn't interested in the City job, Maresca is already earmarked to be City's next manager with the blessing of Guardiola.

As for how he'll do at the club, not sure...  But with a solid back room, I think Mascara will do well for the first couple of seasons.  Maybe or hopefully.  Lolol.

If Guardiola will not walk away before the end of the season, he will probably leave when the season is over. I have a feeling they have already lined up Maresca to take over and that view will only change if Maresca is hired by a different club. He will probably reject any job offers as he will be after the Manchester City job.

Arteta will not leave Arsenal for any other club because he is very close to winning the Premier League. Arsenal are probably just a few signings away from winning the Premier League on a regular basis and the Champions League soon. I agree, Maresca is probably already their choice to replace Guardiola.

Who in their right mind would leave the the current Arsenal project to manage a disjointed Manchester city team? Even Pep with all the blank cheques is running them into the mud.

The only way Pep survives this is if he miraculously snatch the league from Arsenal. No way out now .

If somehow Guardiola wins either the Premier League or the Champions League, it should change his intentions. He will probably walk away from Manchester City but would prefer to leave on a high. I will be shocked if he is their manager at the start of next season.

Arteta is building something special at Arsenal, no club in the world is going make him resign. They have a relatively young team, if they win the Premier League it could start a period of dominance that could last several years. I doubt Arteta will even consider other job offers.

I think even if Guardiola snatches the lead in the EPL from Arsenal, he'll still leave the club at the and if the season.  He looks like he's burning out and he needs another break from football again.  Not really sure which club he'll be into next but I feel like it's gonna be a national team... 

Not really sure which one tho.  I see that Tuchel is managing the English national team.  Would be great to see Guardiola in there chasing the World Cup.
