He said he had an injury towards the back end of last season, but got fit in time for the Euros. The issue is that the Netherlands went relatively deep into the tournament and he then had time off, like the England and Argentina players. Nothing to do with being injured now?
Joshua Zirkzee is a Red | and our #11
- Thread starter top1whoisman
- Start date
He had 2 weeks off before being called up late to the Euros.
And another 2 weeks off after the Euros.
Ah you’re right so the issue is more that he isn’t quite match fit. ETH suggests he’s close to ready so I’d expect cameos for couple of weeks I guess.
Agreed
He is waiting on the 7 he should have been given last year.
I'd stick him in starting 11 Tonight, his first match, home debut, Old Trafford opening night. Adrenaline be rushing.
He would be buzzing to play.
Could be a dream debut for him.

Course he’s injured!
He's not though.
ETH said he is not ready as he needs games , all the more baffling why he saw no minutes last week.
What?Course he’s injured!
Some people just love to spout nonsense. We are meant to be in the age of information, instead we are in the age of misinformation.
He was at Bologna, and coupled with the Euro's, is what held him out of pre-season minutes and why he isn't considered match fit yet.
What does that have to do with people commenting saying he is injured now?
Cursed number. You watch him get done for perjury or something now
Because ETH just put out something along those lines yesterday as to why he's not available. He's only recently recovered. Like Shaw, he went to Euro's injured and it's delayed his club season start.
So not injured, then?
Yeah so he is not injured, that was literally what my post was about. If he is not fit due to match fitness then he is not injured.
Yeah I thought EtH said he would be with the squad today. Though another chance to see McTominator play as CF....time to drool my fellow Scottie fans.
He's on the bench.
And he ll come off it to score the winner.
Yes, get in ladAnd he ll come off it to score the winner.
He does look like a 9.5 like he said doesn't he? Got some neat touches and turn. A different type of forward which could help us be more effective vs teams who sit back and def against us
So good and tricky on the ball and seems to know how to score
God King.
Delighted, lovely finish, excellent on the ball and a bloody massive unit. You don't realise how fecking huge he is until he's standing next to everyone else.
Also pretty quick (mostly saw that in him turning on the burners to press). Really liked a lot about that.

Not many things in sports sweeter than a debut day winner at the Stretford end
Heck of a way to make a first impression
Was impressed with every aspect of his play when he came on - great finish, but he also did a great job holding on to the ball and linking up, his pressing was good, nothing not to like tonight.
Delighted for him. First of many, I hope.
Sweet finish! He seems like a really calm lad doesn’t he?
Good lad yourself.And he ll come off it to score the winner.
That's a striker's goal. Ruud must be delighted!
Touch a class when the ball is played into him. Great confidence too. This goal will only help him build on that too.
He really does remind me of Berbatov with his skill set, just without the nicotine habit and a bit taller
Thought he was anonymous until he scored but that was a great finish. After that, he was linking play, showing good touches and flicks. Clearly gained his confidence.
Good start. I have a feeling he’ll be unpredictable for defenders and chip in with a decent amount

Kompany-esque noggin.
A debut to remember for him. Up there with Chicharito against Chelsea in the 2010 community shield.
Weird comparison.
Firstly the charity shield is a pre season friendly, it also wasn't the winner from memory and bounced in off his face.
Love Hernandez but weird comparison.
I’m a big fan of Chicharito as well but yeah. It definitely was a silly comparison. I was going to compare it Rooney’s debut hat-trick against Fenerbahçe but honestly it would be nowhere near as good. I was just trying to make a comparison to a United game that I could remember.
Haha I love your honesty mate.
