If you were to compare him to an elite striker past or present - who would it be ?

I swear some clubs are on the milk for us. There is literally nothing i have seen in him that is redeeming to justify what we paid for him.
 
I remain entirely unconvinced by him, but I did at least see him sprinting to close players down and press at times. He was showing more effort. It wasnt quick but he did try to do that part.
The fact I saw him break into an actual sprint once to press the keeper just proves that the rest of the time he's been fecking lazy. He doesn't have a "languid running style" and he doesn't "look slow because of his long strides" as people have suggested. He just doesn't actually put in any effort. He's Rashford without the occasional goal.
 
The most blatant heap of shit we have bought in recent memory. At least with Antony we have had flashes of brilliance. At least with Mount he has shown mobility in the 5 minutes he’s played, but JZ hasn’t shown anything. Nothing. Joke of a footballer.

:lol: I know exactly the ONE sprint you are talking about. I noticed it too, "oh, look, he CAN actually run!"
 
Tragic performance, but noone deserves to get that level of abuse coming off the pitch.

Hopefully he realises that it's only partly because of his own performances but also he took it for the team in a moment where the crowd were volatile and frustrated
 
If he had any confidence left, it's totally gone now.
 
Feel he was left hung out to dry a bit there. Shouldn’t be on the pitch in the first place, but certainly not the only player to deserve the early hook.
 
If he or Rashford kick a ball for United ever again then we are destined for a rinse and repeat of bad decisions. He needs to be told his career here is over tonight and his agent needs to get him a move because it will be ugly with the fans now.
 
Reading some of the comments you'd think United fans were pelting him with bags of literally dog shit or something.

They booed him off. He has been shit pretty much the entire time and looks like an actual beer league player out there. Woe is him throw his little hissy fit. I'm sure he has no problem cashing the nice little increase in checks he got
 
Haven't seen that kind of a response from the Old Trafford crowd in all my time supporting the club
 
Starting Zirkzee, Casemiro and Eriksen was asking for trouble. You can’t just blame him. Just send him back to Motta and hope we can recoup some of the fee.
 
I thought it was the most deserved substitution I’ve ever seen.

It wasn’t a nice reaction from the fans, but despite the damage already well and truly done, it changed the game for us and we finally had 11 men on the pitch.

I hope there’s something in the Juve rumours because he’s rubbish.
 
That will stop the Zirkzee as a 10 argument, he just doesn't have the intensity or agility when the pace is high, which brings his technical level down as well.
 
No and the fans in attendance are a fecking joke. They boo him but not the rest of the shite at the end?
Yes, what an absolute disgrace they are. Never mind that they've spent fecking tonnes of money to watch this lot turn in a feckless home performance AGAIN, they should be getting behind the lads like true top reds!
 
He was poor but no worse than a few others. We are just a shocking team

Only other time I can think of is Fellaini and that was equally as disgraceful from our fans.
 
He can't play up top and it doesn't look like he can really play number 10 either. He's 100% in the wrong league. He's too slow, he has no aggression, and he doesn't look like he has the tenacity or the drive to make it at our club.

A terrible signing and another example of really poor squad building.
