If he is getting forced out, I’m glad. Shit attitude and nowhere near enough talent to match his ego.

So what if we are, we're finally setting the right standards and making players responsible for their actions.

Standards like Hojlund playing like a league 2 footballer on a weekly basis but still getting start after start?

If I was him I'd say feck it and leave. He'll have a better chance at fulfilling his potential elsewhere and it definitely looks like the club is trying to push him into wanting to leave so we can cash in. It's shite because he's the type of player this club should look for in our attack (style, just need more experienced and consistent), and instead it's looking like we're building towards a different direction. Just don't like that for us.

Yep and our fans will celebrate it because we’ll get a shiny new wing back that will become not needed when Amorim gets sacked and we change systems again. And not one of them will rally against the club who put us in the position that we HAVE to sell our brightest talents because of their incompetence.

Then when Garnacho fulfills his potential elsewhere while we’re struggling in attack, those same fans will insist “he had attitude problems” or “he wanted to leave”. Or if he does it in another league “it’s a slower league that suits him”.

If he fulfils his talent, he’ll be a squad player rotating for a big club at best unless he drops a level. He needs to improve his passing and his shots hardly ever go in. His dribbling is 50/50, not a special level.

Now if he can improve that and is a late bloomer then maybe but that’s a big risk.
 
He literally started the last game. Hardly the way you go about forcing someone out.
 
He did a great imitation of Fellaini running the ball out of play in extra time, had to chuckle.

The guy never gets his head up on the ball, his eyes are glued to it, if he was able to look up occasionally be could be a somewhat productive player.
 
His shooting technique is atrocious, horrible even, one of the worst in the squad yet he's a forward. If he doesn't work on it quickly he'll never make it here or at any other top club. We can't rely on a player who converts 2 out of 14 big chances. I bet you that Maguire would do better.
 
I find him very frustrating. On the one hand, he's mobile, pacey, he gets into some amazing positions and he looks like he wants to score goals. But, his actual shooting ability is just awful. He under-hits shots, and then over-hits the next one. That's if he even manages to get them on target in the first place. He has a LOT to work on.
 
His decision making frustrates me to no end. The only time he'll cross is with his weak foot when he is forced wide. Anywhere near the box on his right he shoots. Try to pick someone out when on your stronger side for once. Do something different, make the defenders think.
 
Pathetic cameo.
Good job on reaching 50 shots without scoring though.
 
Whether he can develop his game intelligence and decision making is going to make or break him, he's got strong attributes that could make him a real player but it'll amount to nothing if he continues to waste chances and play for himself instead of the team.
 
Garnacho is really good at running with the ball but his decision making is absolutely infuriating. He absolutely has to cut this hero ball shite out. Multiple times he put the team in a really strong attacking position with a great run only to waste it with a shot when a pass was the better option.
 
He's the best we have ATM but he's still not good enough to start for a club that wants to make waves in the PL. Decision making along with not being able to connect with the ball properly when shooting is a big problem.
 
I no longer have any reaction to seeing Garnacho get through on goal or make space for a shot. I just know he's going to miss. Unless I see him look up and see the chance of him squaring it to Bruno I just stay seated. As things stand I'd be more surprised by him actually getting on the shoresheet than not.

What about all his other weaknesses?

Most of his weaknesses centre around his poor choices, if he can show that he's able to improve that side of his game I think we'd see a much more productive and effective player.
 
Usual story with him, zero end product. He certainly scares the opposition with his pace, but unfortunately he rarely actually does anything and will often make all the wrongs decisions.
 
People forgetting it was his ball in behind to Dalot before our goal. At least he tries to make stuff happen and goes at people.
 
Missed a couple of sitters, especially the one on one in the second half Zirzkee put him through for.. Also I wonder why he didn't take a penalty as one of few forwards on the pitch
 
Wasteful again. However, with Amad injured, I'd still start him in every game. The pace is there and we're a team really lacking in that when he doesn't start.
 
Seems to always pick the wrong option when he comes near the goal... needs power? No power. Needs to place it after cuting inside? Goes full power and blasts the ball way over the goal. Needs to atleast look for the option to pass? Takes a blind (weak) shot.

He is project and still needs to learn a lot. Also he will never be Ronaldo, as much as he wants to be Ronaldo. He has talent but is not a supertalent.
