matchday malcontent
He is average striker. One good game in 10 is enough to people go crazy about him. But yeah, we need starting no9.
He can be good backup option.

I feel he should be one of the first ones out of the door once the new management is in place, he simply isnt good enough
Yeah let's bin him the moment we get a system that fits him.
No system will fit him at this level when he just falls over or gets easilly dispossesed everytime we give him the ball, he simply isnt a Premier League quality player
What a daft comment when looking at him last season.
Love this narrative about system. Which system is that? Is that system where striker doesn't need to pass the ball or control the ball? System where striker doesn't need to win duels? System where striker doesn't need sense for positioning in the box?Yeah let's bin him the moment we get a system that fits him.
Worst comment in the thread. Hojlund has provided our wingers with passes and got them through on goal multiple times since he got here. Not so much the other way around.Wank. Zirkzee being much worse is making him a lot more tolerable but we shouldn't be accepting someone with his ability being our No.9.
The times he failed to look up and release the open passes into the channel to the wide players showed the level of player he is.

Last season when he scored only 10 goals in 30 premier league appearances?
I know its trivial but he's never given a 9/10 performance.There’s a player in there, but his performances are either 9/10 or 2/10 and nothing in between. It’s what you expect from a young player.
Unfortunately for him we’re awful, so it stands out more
Agreed, and he is one of our overrated players of which there are many.The thing with young star attackers is once in a while they have games where you think "wow, they couldn't handle him all game". Hojlund hasn't ever had that. I'm not expecting him to dominate games at this stage, but he's never shown that level where it would make you think he can be a top striker. He's decent, and has some good moments but that's about it. Think his talent level peak after watching him since he joined is somewhere around Europa League level range relative to premier league clubs, not a CF for a top 4 club.
I know its trivial but he's never given a 9/10 performance.
Yeah let's conveniently leave out the goals in Europe.
We wernt talking about Europe we wwre talking about the Premier League, this guy is hopeless at this level and should not be a starting number 9 for a Premier League club.

Looks like he had hands on his neck but in real time didn’t seem like much to be honest.Anyone care to comment on the bit where Colwill grabbed him round the neck in the penalty area, was a bit tied up with work things and missed the replay, just heard the commentator say it certainly wasn’t a penalty, but saw the scratches on his neck afterwards.
I don't get that impression when I watch him. It seems like he thrives off the physical duels with defenders by backing into them to protect the ball. He certainly doesn't come across as a diver. Diving is when there's little to no contact from the opposition player.x2
Came here to say the same thing, you just missed one thing though. Spends too much time diving and it looks like the refs have him check marked that he's a diver, hence don't give those fouls

He’s still a kid. He’s got time to develop, don’t be so harsh!He is average striker. One good game in 10 is enough to people go crazy about him. But yeah, we need starting no9.
He can be good backup option.
Probably just a memory thing. He is very strong, protects the ball better than almost anyone, and stays on his feet a surprising number of time given that he has one or sometimes two six feet muscle bundles trying all they can to bundle him over.He goes down too easily, I call it diving because that's what it is.
He had a good game vs Brentford because he actually chose to stay on his feet and was able to control it and play the lay off pass. That's the only game I can remember where he was actually competent in holding up the ball
