Seems like he can't get a break and be the hero for once. Everytime I think he will be our matchwinner, we manage to mess it up.

Must be playing on losing sides in training too. Only way to explain why other players don't want to feed him chances to score, despite he's quite good for his age.
Bless him. 5 goals in 4 games in the CL and not a single point to show for it. Ridiculous really.
If he keeps on playing like that, he will be gassed before he turns 30. Not everyone can be a Wayne Rooney. Why should he?
He gets service and he scores, he's proven it in the Champions League. About the only positive of this season so far.
This. He does the runs over and over again, and when our players finally sees him he'll score more. Good and hardworking guy.
He is raw, but has everything to be an absolute monster of a forward in the long term. It's depressing that he's in a team in the state of ours.
Hopefully it will come good because he's an absolute gem.

He’s better with space that’s for sure. But who isn’t. Hopefully he’ll keep up his drive and hunger to develop instead of diving into the depressing hole many players have gone into when results are going against us.
When we do feed him chances, he scores however.

He can’t catch a break. Criminal that his goals go unrewarded due to our collapse at the back.
At least we have a forward who knows they're allowed to enter the 6 yard box.
The sad thing is he's actually promising, but there's not a hope in hell we know how to develop him.
Have to feel for him a bit. No service in the Prem and in the CL every goal he scored ended up being pointless as we fecked the game one way or another
Yeah, it has to be a bit discouraging to score 2 goals twice and not get a draw let alone a win. And the goals are not coming late when we are way behind. He's scoring early to give us leads and we can't hold them.
Funny that the Højlund haters like @Andycoleno9 are gone from this thread now that he scored...
Subbed cos he was gassed but funny thing is he probably scores at the end if he's on the pitch (rebound chance)
I feel sorry for him. Should have been the hero tonight but others let him down.
"If you don't look at the result and only take the first 20 minutes into account we did quite well."
One of the very few bright spots of our season so far. Got a bit of decent service tonight for a change (in the first half at least).
Indeed. That was his territory.
This goes back to something that I replied to earlier, and I think there is a dilemma. Do we want him to play like Wayne Rooney (spending his energy so much at pressing hard that he's out of it by 70-75 minutes) or do we want to see him eventually grow into someone like Harry Kane or Robert Lewandowski (who know how and when to preserve energy in order to last the full 90 minutes)? I know Hojlund works really hard, but this is where someone somewhere must find a way to teach him how to preserve energy in order to last the full 90.
He probably can last the 90 if he didn’t have to press so hard alone for the most part in the first 60.
Is he a Caf poster?
Absolutely. He presses for two people every single - himself and Rashford.
More than the goals, I like how he shields the ball. Of course his passing has a lot of room for improvement still but he has all the tools to be a great striker, just not at our broken club
I like how well he carries the ball at full pace. He's probably our best forward at it, as Rashford tends to kick and run a bit more.
Yes, that too. Still so young, it feels like the timing of his arrival at our club isn't right. He'd be so much better if things around him made more sense football wise
One of us!
I feel sorry for this lad. He deserves to play in a proper club under a proper manager. He will be buried in this graveyard alongside all the rest.
Credit where it's due to the club and our scouts for identifying him as the better option opposed to Ramos, Kolo Muani and other alternatives that would cost the same or more than Hojlund did.
You sure about that? Every one of his goals so far, except the solo run vs Galatasaray (great finishing but not a typical "poacher" goal) were the result of great positioning and finishing...even the 2 disallowed ones vs Brighton and Galatasaray.

A player with enormous potential, held back by a hilariously bad team around him. If things don't improve he'll need to move on to progress. He'll not reach his potential working with this lot.
Why did he celebrate against his old club? Did he leave them on bad terms?
Some people just can't use their brain and don't know anything about football either on top of that.
When the team is in a really bad period like this, even the good performers get criticized for the stupidest reasons.
For every player, the environment they play in is probably the most important thing, even more so for a striker that heavily relies on service.
If he went to City or Arsenal and played as many minutes as he did for us, he would be on double digits already and would be likened to Alvarez, Enzo Fernandez or other "hidden gems" we "never identified and let go to rivals".

Think that with somebody that runs that much, with high intensity, the club needs to understand that he must have a reliable backup as Rasmus is often gassed after 60/65 mins and then is a deadwood for the rest of the game.
We have 5 changes, we should use this

Celebrating against former clubs should always be allowed. I hate when players don't.
Just need a striker for the premier League games now
The movement for the first goal was class. Tricked the defenders very well. Probably a pretty common piece of striker movement, but haven't been used that in years.
Absolute drivel get a grip
I cannot fathom these posts. He's just signed for UTD FFS.
Only in name. Our actual performance doesn’t match the club’s reputation, we’re a fecking mess.
