I think JZ will become a bit of a cult hero at United if he keeps putting in performances like that.

He seems a nice lad and I hope he carries on improving

Lingard vibes

I don't see how it's possible really.

His goalscoring record is poor even before joining us.

And he's very, very slow.

Those 2 facts eliminate the possibility him from becoming an elite attacking player. He does show some promising signs in terms of his link up play, but he needs to be far more consistent with that. He's also had some shockers where it looks like he can't control a ball to save his life and give it away every time he's received it.

He can maybe be a useful squad player if he sharpens up his game a lot, but he's never a starting centre forward for a side winning the PL/CL. And the idea that he can play as a 10 in this system I just don't buy either, he's been worse whenever we've tried it so far.

If he creates a lot of assists for the likes of Amad then it doesn't really matter if he doesn't score a lot himself, he reminds me a bit of Peter Crouch, lanky, awkward and moves like Bambi on ice

Based on yesterday it looks like he's figured out how to accelerate a bit, both with and without the ball. That was one of the first times I've watched him play and liked the look of his movement.

Is it true he might get banned for his celebration?

(Not his usual one)

Because it’s United, yes probably.

 

[Gazautd18]

Needs to start.
Also needs a killer instinct in front of goal.
Showed some sweet touches when he came on.
He's hasn't got that strikers selfish mentality though.
Noticed on Amad's 1st he just stood still watching instead of peeling off into space awaiting the tap in.
Don't know if I'm being super critical.
Good job Amad scored.

I feel like he would have been mint back in the day when teams didn't press so aggressively. He's a throwback to players like Bergkamp and Berbatov.

 

[ShinjiNinja26]

Are they actually considering giving him a ban for that celebration? What a fecking joke!

Like Bergkamp, that's about the same as chalk and cheese!

 

[JE-365]

He’s bit too slow for an attacker, it seems defenders are able to catch him when he’s going through. But he has the physique and technique to get hold on the ball far better than Hojlund.

He needs to show more consistency, improve his concentration, improve his off ball movement, improves his passing, and improves his ball retention so he doesn’t do clumsy that giving the ball away cheaply.

 

[Doracle]

People say he should start scoring and of course that is true, but it shouldn’t be overlooked that he set up Amad for the 1-0, and him and Amad pressing made the defender lose the ball on the 3-0

I think he is adjusting to the speed and intensity of the league, but the way the ball was plucked from his feet when he got to the box on a few occasions shows he’s clearly still got some work to do. Considering how he may be adjusting, I think there’s hope for him.

But of course let’s see how he’ll do from the start. Hopefully against Brighton. Will be much tougher opposition than what Southampton brought today, so big test for him

I hope they aren’t “much tougher” as Southampton played us off the park for 60 minutes. I thought Southampton performed at around the level I’d expect Brighton to be at, but Brighton will probably be more clinical if they get the same chances and won’t fade as badly.
