His head has gone. Before at least you could tell he was trying but today he didn't challenge, didn't press and the non-shot was just the final straw. His form and confidence is just grim.
He didn't realise Rice was so close I don't think which is an issue in itself. Felt sorry for him there.

The chance where he ran across the front post was great movement and great defending by Gabriel.
 
At least he had 2 chances today in only 15 minutes. If he starts getting scoringchances it will be a matter of time, before he scores again. His problem has been that he did not even get any scoring chances at all.
 
Quite lively when he came on and did some good running into channels but when it mattered, he just couldn't make the difference in front of goal, and I guess that's the difference.

You know a player is completely worthless when the best thing anyone can say about them is they're lively
 
Calling him a con artist is harsh, it's not his fault we forked out 60+ million for a super raw 21 year old.


I could call him a lot worse and it would be justified. I would just settle to never see him wear the shirt again
 
We're looking at someone to finish chances and Garnacho is our option :lol: state of our attack.

Hojlund boyhood United fan iirc but he's probably starting to hate it and is desperate for season to end (and obviously fans not getting happier with him either). Failing to take that chance feels like final straw. He's 22 and think club will definitely be looking to sell now for a decent fee.
He makes runs, he actually gets shots off and can bring others into the game. Our current other attacking options can't even average a shot on target a game. We'd do a lot better with Garna through the middle yes
 
It was as if he wanted Rice to tackle him when he got that chance. Took an absolute age to do anything with the ball.
He shifted it on to his weak foot, which was also the side Rice was coming from, and then took an extra touch in front of goal. It genuinely makes you want to cry.

Yes. That's the issue. xG of 1.9 in 19 matches before today is horrible.

I think he is half to blame and the rest is on the team for not passing or crossing or creating enough

To his credit, he came on and made an impact. Zirkzee was tired and isn’t the type to stretch defenses with runs in behind. This setup was tailor-made for Hojlund, with plenty of space to exploit. His introduction changed the game, but unfortunately, he couldn’t take his chance when it mattered.
 
He got across his man well at one point which was an improvement. He's bad but not as bad as what he's showing at the moment. Wonder if he starts next on Thursday.
 
Has to be one of our worst signings. He doesn't seem to be improving, not at all. Isn't he speaking or working with anybody at the club? He desperately needs some advice.
 
No excuses for not taking a shot, but the 2nd missed chance was a great block from Gabriel.

Rattled me when he was so obviously standing in an offside position in that last minute of the game and didn’t bother to run back to stay onside. What the heck was that? Surely he knew
 
Very frustrating. Even a confident Hojlund takes that shot much quicker. It’s going to make such a difference if we can actually sign a goal scorer this summer.
 
I am trying to be positive here. There was a time, where I started thinking that Højlund could become a very good striker for us. I am trying to remember why:

 
I tried to be patient, but that touch that allowed Rice the chance to tackle him might be my villain origin story.

Most strikers there are aware of their surroundings and take that a touch that allows them to shield the ball so they either get a pen or Rice commits or the chance to get the shot off if otherwise
 
He is just severely lacking in confidence at the moment, there is a good striker in there. We need to back him up, he will come good once he gets his confidence back.
 
As cameos go, thats prob as bad as it gets.

What more does he want like, the footballing gods couldnt have gifted him better chances to end his barren streak.
 
The second chance I thought the defender did pretty well to be fair but the one where Rice got back he has to be doing miles better with.
 
Just saw the replay of the Bruno chance right at the end. And Rasmus is 30 yards from goal after helping with build up, but making no effort to get into the box.
 
Where was he for the last second chance?

Was begging for a tap in after Raya's save and he was nowhere. Not even close.

His football instincts are non existent. Watch him for the build up of that chance, its absolutely appalling.
