Message: [QUOTE="gtcam, post: 2778445, member: 2844"] Rashford is very young and is at his best in this stage of his development to have the ball played in front of him because of his speed and ability to change directions and feint. He is adept with the ball on his foot but he has not played long enough to learn and utilize world class techniques to be lethal most of the time when facing close range marking. They brought him on in the 2nd half hoping that they could get him loose on a long ball serve but the passes just were not there. His open field speed is beyond world class and his ability to finish in clutch situations is proven - it just didn't work today The kid doesn't play significant minutes for Man U because he "sucks" The whole Three Lions side is very young and will, barring injuries, etc have virtually the whole team back along with seven U-18 kids who are all on that unbelievable National team and all are playing on the practice squads for highly regarded EPL sides. Little confused about the Pickford feet comment - this team passes back to the keeper more than most. Coach Southgate has commented many times on what a luxury it is to trust a keeper as the 11th field player. His passing and targeted punting is among the top in the world. My complaint about him is that he needs to work on positioning when the play is within 20 yards Kane saved his worst effort for this match but the guy is a stud - no doubt This Three Lions team is a lot like the recent UConn Mens BBall team IMHO - it looks like men vs boys - they need to get stronger as they grow older [/QUOTE]
