Sad to say he's not good enough. He can't hold the ball up and he doesn't show the instincts of a goal scorer.

He seems to spend too much time wrestling with the centre backs and losing out the majority of the time. It's a big problem for us.
 
Work in progress. Boggles the mind some choose to pile on this kid when the game was lost by Bayinder and Martinez. Dalot and Antony had worse games imo.

Once Rashford is gone he'll be one of the next victims
 
Feels harsh on him as he’s feeding off scraps, however I thought the 2 balls Bruno crossed he should have been closer too, a lethal striker would have been in the mix and also the one where he went through early on, should have at least got a shot off I thought.
 
What does he do on the training pitch? What rans have we designed for him on crosses?

He's never in the right position for almost all of our crosses.

His closing down for the first goal was criminal.

Victim of what? Being criticised for not being good enough? Yeah I would expect so

Nah, of being hounded out to the point he just won't even want to play for us anymore. Criticism is all well and good, because performances deserve that, but it never stops there does it? It's never "Not his best game, needs to do better in next game, he's gotta fight for his place" it's "He's f***ing shit, championship level, needs to be sold immediately"

Even though he's played well for a few games in a row now. But one average match and nope, cannon fire him into the sun despite other players playing far worse.
 
I leave door open that he will maybe become good for backup option but if we don't buy starting striker for next season we are fecked.

Tonight wasn't good enough from him. There were multiple crosses where he made the wrong run or no run at all.

That is his story every game. Not only tonight.. Notice how many times in every game he does not attack the spaces in the crosses. I do not think he has the positional instinct of a striker.

Well said!
 
He’ll be found out by Amorim soon enough, but we will likely be stuck with him for the rest of the season. Hopefully we sign a proper striker in the summer and he can deputise and hopefully develop into a decent player, but for now, he’s nowhere near what is required.

So what if people call him shit on an Internet message board? If he comes on here and reads it and his reaction is that he never wants to play for United again, why would we want such a weak player?

A bit of perspective is needed

It is again all in area of opinion not abuse. People say for Dalot, Malacia, Zirkzee, Lindelof, Casemiro etc....that they are "shit", "garbage" and "need to be sold". That is just an opinion. Yeah, saying that someone is shit is probably harsh but it is common phrase in football.
I don't know why some of you are so touchy about Hojlund. You think he is/will be good and that is fine. But respect that other people have different opinion.

I have soft spot for Zirkzee and i think he is better than Hojlund. Did you see me overreacting (and tagging) other posters who think that he is "shit" and "worst United signing" after his good games? No.

The majority of posters won't be trying to hound him out though. We have to be able to make a comment on players, that's one of the main aspects of being a football fan. You rate some players and you don't rate others.

He seems like a really nice young lad and I desperately want him to do well. I just don't think he has the instincts of a goal scorer, or the strength and control to hold the ball up and bring others into the game.

This is a big problem for us when he is probably our main striker now.

As others have mentioned Man Utd need a top class striker to lead the line, Ferguson understood this and that's why it was such a priority to him.

When everything is either garbage or elite the level of discussion ends on twitter levels. This forum is usually better than that. But there are some players where people are clearly wanting them to fail.

Why the hell would we want anyone to fail? It makes no sense. I'd fecking love Hojlund to transform into the second coming of Brazilian Ronaldo.

But I'm a realist, not a delusional dreamer. I say it as I see it, and Hojlund, relative to the level we aspire to reach, is rubbish. Even at our current, uninspiring level, he's mediocre

That is BS. You want to say that some fans would rather see player playing badly just because they don't rate that player? Sorry man, but it is complete nonsense.

Why else would they be completely quiet in the good periods and then scream like madmen that x or y needs to be sold when thr player has a bad game.

He is a young raw talent. He has clear weak points but he is also extremely clinical. Ideally he was back up to a ready made striker instead of having to learn while leading the line.
 
Sometimes, like tonight, he manages to look like the wrong kind of nimble and the wrong kind of big at the same time. He doesn't know how to control the ball to set himself up for the next move. It just sort of hits him.

He'll be 22 in a couple of months. He is the same age as Cole Palmer and Jude Bellingham, he shouldn't be that raw..
 
The Rasmus we see in European games and the Rasmus we get in domestic fixtures are like 2 completely different players.

That’s ludicrous logic. Like writing every footballer off who isn’t taking the world by storm ay aged 18, because of Yamina Lamal.

Come on Pogue, I said 22 not 18. And I didn't say taking the world by storm either. I said he shouldn't be that raw. Your reply ludicrous, not my logic.
