  1. Rasmus Højlund | 2024/25 Performances

    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 right instinct, and by the time he started moving...

    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 teams were playing 3 up top with a centre forward...

    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 Hojlund. Players like Lukaku had fallen out of fashion...

  4. Joshua Zirkzee | 2024/25 Performances

    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 will make no impact, while Zirkzee at least has...

    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 money while there is any on the table and move on.

    I said this at the time. I don’t think we go for him at all if Haaland didn’t exist.

  7. Patrick Dorgu | 2024/25 Performances

    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, me) rue the fact that he’s actually not very...

  8. Patrick Dorgu | 2024/25 Performances

    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?

  9. Patrick Dorgu | 2024/25 Performances

    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 like really good? If he was Hakimi, what would that...

    I think Amass has potential for that level of assurance on the ball. Personally, I see a lot of similarity with Shaw in possession. I expect this to become more pronounced as he strengthens. He’s one of those kids that in recent years we’d have said ‘he could be a City player’, IMO. I agree...

  11. Patrick Dorgu | 2024/25 Performances

    I think you are understating his assurance on the ball. For one so small and young, he has shown that he can still handle the ball well at PL level against big strong men pressing him. While he will not become a speed demon, he will get stronger and better equipped with resisting pressure from...

    Football. As opposed to the athletics you listed for Dorgu. If your issue with Amass is his lack of this athleticism, then it’s reasonable to chart development in this area as a boy ages and becomes a full man (or woman, these days). I think even by the early signs, Amass looks more secure...

  13. Have United had a better recent history than Arsenal?

    Was saying this the other day to someone. This whole banter thing is extremely relative. Even if our history started after Sir Alex retired, we’d be one of the most successful sides in England. And definitely more so than Arsenal. We’ve won 1 Europa league (and counting), 2 FA Cups and 2...

  14. Rasmus Højlund | 2024/25 Performances

    His goal last night is what ‘service’ looks like for him. If we can lay 20 balls on a plate from a yard out then perhaps he can score enough goals. Otherwise it’s the team’s fault. He wouldn’t be capable of scoring any of the 3 other goals we scored last night, which is the problem and why...

  15. Patrick Dorgu | 2024/25 Performances

    I think the physical/athletic attributes of Dorgu are being overstated. Not that he is not physically capable enough, but I don’t see him as exceptionally athletic to the point where it needs to be mentioned as often as I see it mentioned. I don’t see him as having the ridiculous combination of...
