This should be a good opportunity for him to impress.. Albania trying to find a goal, and vulnerable on the counter

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss Amad saving our blushes in a win against Southampton as well as our now annual loss at home to Brighton. They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.

Looks like im just in time for the Embolo Watch.
Seems like he is on the left side, I thought that was his third best position.
Edit: Oh, a penetrative pass there. Too bad that guy there seems to be a 1:100 striker.

Sign him up
Well done lad..
Plays on the left? Do not want
Good pass.
Commentator just called him "Emboli"

Nice pass from Embolo, but another poor finish from Seferovic
Nice pass.
Shame he stayed and admired it! Good pass though.
Yeah, whoever he is he has been terrible.
Played RW and CF for Basel
Why is he playing so deep? Get that less-than-clinical cnut Sferovic off and let Embolo play upfront or wide forward.
Was just about to say. Switzerland just had an attack a few moments ago, and there were 4 players more advanced that Embolo.
The next Rooney?
One good pass. Other than that he's been poor so far.
Not blown away.
Ohh, just noticed that The Breel plays with number 7 for Switzerland. Is it a sign?
Sign him up.
You're correct in thinking the left is his third most effective position. He's playing on the left because Shaqiri is considered to be Switzerland's star player.
Agreed.
Has not shown anything that suggests he is better than Lingard or Young. I'd fancy Valenica at wide right more than the Embolo we have seen today.
Not a bad showing tbh. Playing on the right currently
Nothing much to go by. One very good pass and a few times he was caught behind the play. Otherwise, everything seems to be forcefully played through Shaqiri resulting in not much emphasis on his side of the play.
I'd take Schweinsteiger head the Pogba we saw yesterday, and Rooney ahead of the Griezmann we saw yesterday.
Shaqiri was terrible today. Worst player on the pitch for me.
He is playing CM. Strange.
Ya bit hard to judge him from this game, he seems to be playing in about 3-4 different positions
He should start instead of that ridiculous striker in their next match. Missing that many chances without attributing much to buildup play shouldn't be rewarded with another start.
Mavraj cnut elbowed The Breel

He's got a nice shoe tie, time wasting bit in extra time. Sign him up.
If what you say is true, that doesn't change the fact that he's considered to be their star player. The rest have to accommodate him, irrespective of their most effective position.
Edit:
A bit like how Cavani had to accommodate the undisputed key player of PSG, Zlatan by playing on the left.
Taking a beating.
He's been tidy. If you're expecting a Martial-esque performance you're bound to be disappointed. He's had one very good pass, a few decent pieces of hold up play and another couple of moments where he beat his man but was fouled. Not a great deal to go on either way, but as a kid playing in a big tournament, it's a decent enough cameo.
He should be first choice as the front man now. Seferovic was utter gash throughout and deserves to be dropped for the next game.
Thought he looked good, not a whole lot to go off but he's always looking to beat a man and be positive.
Did OK, looked their most dangerous player when he came on
Yep agree with this sentiment. Also Seferovic really shouldn't start again, give Embolo a chance up top for the full 90.
Yep. We'll obviously only know more the more with a bigger sample size to go by, but in terms of "type of player", I like this potential signing.
Switzerland were very negative to be honest, it's tough to shine in that kind of system. He showed some glimpses though.
He looked OK, I rate Rashford more highly as a youngster. Martial is better as well.
He's coming back from an injury and isn't fully fit. Not that it will stop the reactionary and uninformative drivel of some.
