why should i be furious

Honestly because you and a few others seem to have an irrational urge to get on his back. Disagreement is fine, but when you come in here to slag him off and sarcastically claiming some of us are delusional every damn game we didn’t play well and it’s evident he’s suffering because the team is suffering - then you begin to wonder what motivates you.

 

[Posh Red]

I don’t think we have had a striker with his ability to finish since RvP.

We definitely have. Cavani and Ibra were great finishers.

Big Hojlund fan though.

 

[Adisa]

His attitude and work ethic are why I will always root for him.

 

[Ekeke]

Unlucky not to have a hatrick with Garnacho popping the ball in after Hojlund's hard work pressing the keeper and being pulled down. Great finish for the first goal after the ball popped up nice for him, on his weaker foot. And slightly better holdup play, there were a couple of times he did the job when it was played up to him and he was able to find a teammate.

Much more of this please. He'll score goals if he plays but he did a bit more than that last night with his pressing for the first goal and half of his holdup play attempts

Thanks for remembering mate! Ive always wished he would prove me wrong and wish the best for the player but now we got to see this performances against the PL teams instead of the league's of Norway.

Again wish him well, but hopefully he can improve vs the teams like City, Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea, Spurs atleast once in a whilst instead of scoring against Brentford, Luton town, Newport etc.

Hopefully Amorim can screw that into him.

He scored v Bayern, Spurs and Newcastle last season. It’s evident that when he gets chances he scores as a rule.

 

[Mavs]

He's shown that he has good finishing abilities when he gets into right positions and gets the service, both of those elements have been lacking in his/the teams game so far. He doesn't quite have a natural strikers instincts in regards to runs and positioning but that can be worked on, as can the service. Drilling those elements should be the foundation of his play, in order to to get him scoring more consistently, then hopefully he can build more of his overall game in terms of hold-up and technical ability.

 

[JJ12]

That left touch, right volley through the gap was a thing of beauty

 

[Rex Banner]

Hopefully this is the start of him going on a run, like he did last year. Needs to start on Sunday.

We also play in the PL

I thought Zirkzee not getting any minutes tonight will become a regular thing. Unfortunately for the lad I think he just isn’t the of the required standard and is laid back approach won’t suit Amorim at all. Would be surprised if he isn’t back playing in Italy within a year, where he suits best.

I usually try giving one year without judgement to any new player. Think Onana recently showed some chaps have the ability to step up to the plate, and rise above difficulties.

That said, if Obi Martin's talent will explode sooner than later, Zirkzee's chances could be reduced to zero, but Hojlund should be on his toes too. Berrada's one decision to bring Amorim's choice of striker, and things will definitely get interesting.

United returning to having more than two strikers sounds exciting.

 

[Bon1803]

Good performance from Rasmus but it’s not entirely surprising as the team is looking more organised as an attacking unit. As Ruben increases his influence on the team Houjlund will flourish, he has all the attributes for it and his work rate is exactly what you want from your players.

He could really go on to a high level with the way we are looking to play and given he is still so young. With his high work rate he strikes me as the type of player that will want to improve all the time.

That first goal though… beautiful.

 

[Alemar]

He'll score goals if he plays but he did a bit more than that last night with his pressing for the first goal

He gave an assist for the first goal, technically speaking
