He's better on this side because it's less tempting for him to shoot if driving infield on his right foot - he's got a decent left foot as well but maybe this is how you force him to pass more like for Bruno's goal. It's a nice problem to have with him vs amad for that role and them being able to play elsewhere, Garnacho I feel can also help whoever is the 9 a lot with running beyond them which doesn't really happen a lot.

 

[Noc-Z]

I wouldn't want to sell him if it's only asset stripping, but to be honest I would consider it due to him not celebrating a goal, because he felt he wasn't being respected enough, apparently. That tells me all I'd need to know about his mentality.

I agree and I also think it's something we need. Dalot is quite a willing runner but hasn't got the pace over that distance. I think this is especially important if Zirkzee is going to start getting more minutes which feels likely.

The fact that he has gotten his head down and begun adapting to a new position at the age of 20, instead of sulking about the new manager's treatment of him, after getting filmed being insulted by some dickhead YouTuber, should tell you more about his mentality than a decision to not celebrate as exuberantly as you'd like.

It's a nice problem for Ruben to have for sure. I guess if you are critical of Garnacho, maybe if that's Dalot the cross doesn't come in for their equaliser but he's not done badly, he's stayed with the runner.

He's a young man scoring for one of the greatest clubs in the World - he should be exuberant, but to not celebrate at all? Again, why should any professional footballer be upset or even care about a You Tuber, especially when there are 70,000 fans inside the stadium to support you? - respect the fans and the club first. And what treatment by Amorim would be reason to sulk? How is not sulking such a good indicator of his mentality? Getting your head down and not sulking is the minimum expected, why is that so great. What treatment by Amorim are you referring to that Garnacho might have had reason to sulk about?

 

[NotoriousISSY]

Don’t mind him as the right sided 10, but obviously Amad is better there too.

More to do with the fact he is less likely to cut inside and shoot which is probably where people found themselves frustrated after his goal scoring flurry early in the season.

 

[DannyCAFC]

I'm still a little surprised he hasn't been given some minutes at LWB to be honest... considering Amad immediately was tried out on the other side and Garnacho - whilst maybe not as intelligent a player - is at least more physical I think it's fair to say in terms of his motor, intensity and pace. You'd think he could potentially do a similar job.

He's arguably not a great fit for the AM role, so why not have a look at him at wing-back seeing as you are crying out for long-term solutions there at the moment?

 

[MadDogg]

Just a far better player when he plays from the right than when he plays from the left.

He's a strange one in that he seems to go through periods where he's much better on one side, then a while later he'll go through a period where he's much better on the other side.

He was poor for the first half of last season while playing on the left, then literally the first match he was played on the right he burst into life and then continued being better on the right for the rest of the season (he did have a couple of good games on the left as well, but most of the time his performances dropped quite a lot). Then this season under ETH he really struggled on the right and was much better on the left. We'll see if this is the start of his performances turning around again, and if so whether there will be a notable difference based on which side he's on.

I was inside the stadium when Garnacho scored vs Leicester and I can confirm that I didn't feel disrespected by his lack of celebration. Players can celebrate however they like. Rooney was visibly angry right after some of his most memorable goals.

I am referring to him and Rashford getting dropped from the squad for the City game. We don't know the exact circumstances around it but he's obviously reacted well to it when compared to Rashford.

 

[honirelandboy]

He only turned 20 in July, he is a world class talent although not good enough to be starting week in week out for Man United as of yet. That will come in another couple of years. Amad is exactly two years older than him. Garnacho is one of the top prospects in Europe and should be doing everything we can to keep him. He's getting a lot of criticism but not his fault he's been thrown in the deep end and can see why he's a bit upset. Not many 20 year olds can do what he can do. Hopefully Amorim will get him to keep his head down and continue working hard as the potential is there. Amad is 22 and exactly two years older than Garnacho and showing all the commitment and determination a Man United player should have. Lets not forget Amad was on loan in the championship last season and look at him now. Truely believe Garnacho is a world class talent that needs to be nurtured in the right way and doesn't get too big for his boots. Happens a lot with young players and hopefully has good people around him.

It's not just about you though, Bruno pushed him to celebrate so he must have felt a celebration was in order. It's not just about the celebration it's what it might say about his mentality. He's reacted better than Rashford for sure, but its just a 20 year old being left out of one squad. We don't know what's behind it exactly, but Amorim said it's the same as Rashford. No reason not to believe him, so I'm sure it was merited. Which is another negative indication to me. I'm not saying I actively want to sell him, but there is enough there that there is a question mark over him for me.

 

[The Serpent]

Couldn't care less if he stays or leaves, he is a decent player with decent potential who can be an assist to the club but this idea that if he leaves then we're missing out on some newgen R7 makes me laugh. He's got far too many limitations to his game for any logical person to lose sleep over him leaving.

 

[Idxomer]

One of his better performances this season.

Can't help but agree if the rumoured £60m fee is true. I like him, he's talented, but so many stray passes and a poor miss. He is a wide attacker and we simply don't play with them anymore.

 

[Hammondo]

I don't think he fits in our football.

 

[the_cliff]

Agreed. He's vastly overrated by the majority of our fanbase similar to how Rashford was. He's just not a world class talent.

 

[Superunknown]

I look at him, and then I look at Amad, and I look back at him, and then I look back at Amad. I know which is giving us much more right now. He needs to up his game and needs to offer more.

 

[aeh1991]

I thought he did well. He had one good assist opportunity but Antony was no Diallo. Also had some good shots but also some horrible ones. I can see he's slowly adapting to this system, but unsure if he has a long term future here.

 

[Dans]

Please Napoli...........

 

[Lyng]

Really wasteful tonight. That miss in the first half was downright criminal

 

[Ollie Derbyshire]

Far from our biggest problem but needs to improve in some areas and shouldn’t be a nailed on starter. I’m still a fan, I love his energy and tenacity, he always seems to make something happen in most games, today it didn’t come off for him.

 

[criticalanalysis]

A bit more restrained compared to under ETH but the same things we saw still exist. Bad = decision making, passing and composure. Good = distance covered and off the ball running with chance creation through sheer doggedness.

 

[Valencia Shin Crosses]

Agreed. He's vastly overrated by the majority of our fanbase similar to how Rashford was. He's just not a world class talent.

Nope. Good potential, works hard, nice eye for taking up dangerous positions, but he’s never been some “unsellable world class talent” yet you get fecking pelters on here for suggesting so

 

[Valencia Shin Crosses]

I look at him, and then I look at Amad, and I look back at him, and then I look back at Amad. I know which is giving us much more right now. He needs to up his game and needs to offer more.

The easy answer is he’s simply not as talented as Amad though.

 

[2cents]

Awful first half, improved second. But always involved, which is what I like most about him.

 

[Rilz]

We have to take the money and run

He’s quality for his age but doesn’t pass the eye test

 

[Alemar]

Robbed off an assist by Antony tonight. Should have scored in the first half from Rasmus’ pass as well

 

[BorisManUtd]

Had to score in 1st half. Great pass in 2nd to Antony. Would he be better as left wingback rather than the position Amorim plays him in?

 

[criticalanalysis]

I hope Amorim doesn't go back to Garnacho at the 10 and Amad at RWB stuff again.

Playing your best player further back to basically defend and pass the ball to your most wildly inconsistent ball spammers/runners in Bruno and Garnacho is infuriating.

 

[pratyush_utd]

Amorim is playing him ahead of others and is not even the one who gets substituted but most here want him to be sold

 

[bosnian_red]

Played well today, was a constant threat. Not always the right decision but deserves to keep his place and worked his ass off.

 

[Cassidy]

Pretty sure it only happened because Dalot was suspended and Amad is good there

 

[criticalanalysis]

We'll see next game then because that means either one of Dalot, Mazraoui or Garnacho is dropped.

Seeing how tired Mazraoui was, I wouldn't be surprised if he's rotated for Dalot, which means we get the same team as today i.e Amad at RWB.

Before today one of them was dropped no?

 

[MyOnlySolskjaer]

Decent game, should have scored in the first half I feel and was robbed of an assist because of Antony's incompetence.

 

[REDARMY45]

Amorim likes to play one number 10 in the
mould of Bruno and one inverted winger type which is where Amad fits in. There’s no way he’s starting over Amad. We need the money. We have to move him on and strengthen elsewhere.

He’s a good player and great talent but I don’t see how he fits in.

 

[Valencia Shin Crosses]

Just don’t think he’s that talented compared to what many think. Ultimately that’s what it comes down to. Tries hard, direct as feck, gets into great positions, but ultimately his poor decision making gets exposed BECAUSE of his lack of skill on the ball. People are desperate for the next academy star so they are overly optimistic on his prospects (understandable).

I do wish Amorim would try him at one of the wingback spots. He’d get more space to run with and without the ball out there instead of having to be an attacking focal point further inside.

 

[Tarrou]

looks like his head is in napoli already

 

[criticalanalysis]

Before today one of them was dropped no?

Yes but my fear is that Garnacho is now going to come back into the team because of the lack of goals.

I mean I don't have an issue with him specifically but Amorim has only ever really tried Amad at RWB (when they've both started) and then one of Dalot/Mazraoui at the other WB positions.

Against Brighton though I think we'll need both Maz and Dalot at WB although I'd prefer Maz at RCB. We'll see.
