This isn’t true at all. Hojlund has been far and away our worst performer of all regular players this season. You cannot go through our first XI-15 players and credibly claim anyone has been anywhere near as individually terrible as him. The...
Indeed. And probably fair comments on Amass, I doubt anyone has particular expectation on him this season.
Regarding the rest, if we are going to use this system then I just want people who have a high probability of doing something more often...
Dalot maybe. Maz has yet to score a goal for us, and most full backs fail to take the majority of presentable chances that fall to them. I think you underestimate the difficulty of such situations for players without those instincts and temperament.
Arguably also shows the folly in it. Ideally, that flick from Mount should be going to a player in the mould of Rashford, who would be expected to score there. I can’t think of many ‘decent attacking wing backs’ who you generally ‘expect to...
Mentioned this yesterday. Once Amad had beaten his man, he was clearly looking for Hojlund to attack the space in behind the defender. In fact, he seems to point to direct Hojlund to the space. But Mr ‘I don’t get service’ just did not show the...
The moves Lukaku made before, and especially the choices of Italian teams 20 years earlier don’t really have much relevance to the trends at the time. At the time, Real were winning everything with Benzema, Pep had pioneered the false 9 even and...
Haaland changed the profile of what top clubs were looking at. It’s not superficial and has nothing to do with their similar hair. I believe that if Haaland hadn’t come along, top clubs would have continued to seek mire rounded strikers than...
Has said that he is trying to make it back for the final, although it will be close. He’s been out for a while, but if it is at all possible - I’d be looking to start him frankly, not just have him on the bench. We can be confident that Hojlund...
Indeed. It may already be too late, but we must sell immediately this summer before the cat if fully out of the bag and we’re left with negative equity. It appears some Italian clubs still think he’s up to something, and we need to take their...
In that case I will further clarify my first paragraph. A player being heavily involved is not a negative, and it is not a negative that Dorgu is heavily involved. My point is, it is the fact that he is so heavily involved that makes you (well...
Being 20 or new isn’t a talent. What is it that you think he’s good at? And when you say good, how good? Good to the point where it’s obvious that he should be at United and not Leicester, or just good as in this is one of HIS best attributes?
I think the level of involvement he has in our play is only serving to highlight that he doesn’t have much. In fact, all I see every game, due to the very high level of attacking involvement he has, is a huge opportunity cost. Imagine if he was...
