Does he need it? he's not looking tired and you can play someone out of form just as easy as you can play them in. He's on a roll, no need to stop that.

he said so himself. He isn't used to playing Thurs-Sun and why risk it for the sake of the Europa? We don't win many premierleague games off the back of the Europa matches. We can genuinely reach top 4 through the league. Not playing Europa just means he misses Thursday matches so I don't see how that would mean playing him out of form. Costa and Suarez in their best seasons, only played league matches

dunno but @GlastonSpur wanted to make a bet that Kane will outscore Zlatan comfortably :lol: we also know who is overall better player now

Yeah I remember those talks with that Glaston fellow about how Kane was a better striker and player than Zlatan :lol:

Than again, he's the same bloke who infamously said Pogba wouldn't make it into Spur midfield and would be kept on the bench by fecking Dele Alli and Dembele.
 
Can he keep getting flogged like this all season playing every game and not getting ever subbed? He's going to get injured at some point if this keeps up and he is looking really important for us. I know he is a fit lad but it's not reason for him to play every minute of all comps.

He said he got tired in the last 10 minutes, that's not exactly uncommon. We now have 9 days until our next game, more than enough time to recover.

Why single them out? RVP, RVN, prime Rooney, Henry, Cole, Aguero, Drogba etc all played in Europe and and in the league and were no worse for it.

They aren't Zlatan either.

People win marathons older than 35 mate, it's not a strength for Zlatan to play 2 games of football a week.

More important than Zlatans goals: He is a leader. The way he motivated the team the last match after 2-1, made sure they did not lose it to much and focus, and the way he went down to play as almost a holding midfielder, shows what a big affect he has on the team. This is the same type of leadership he took to PSG and made them win 4 seasons in a row. The first season without Zlatan but still with superstars like Cavani and Di maria, they are trailing in 3th place. Another loss today against a team not close to have same quality as PSG. His character, winning-mentality and confidence is extremely valuable to a team like United, who to be honest lacks leadership on the pitch. (Carrick and Rooney is really not that type of character).

Zlatan is a winner and a leader, beside a great goalscorer.

Gets quite a few cards for a center forward.

Great signing though. 16 goals already. A fecking free transfer!

And speaking of characters with confidence you should obviously mention Cantona and what he did for United in regard to these things.
 
van Persie scored 30 goals for us in 12-13. How many do we reckon Ibrahimovic will end up with?

He'll beat that.

Yeah I thought so too, but I can't see him scoring 40 either (even if it looks like it now). I guess around the 35 mark. But then I think that he can score more than 19 more this season :lol: I have no idea.
 
Was looking at his career statistics on wiki and today was his 500th league game. 313 goals

I was gonna mention Ronaldo's 07/08 season as a target but didn't wanna tempt fate with a slump

Mate, this is Zlatan. This is not some run of the mill footballer we are talking about.
After seeing him play for us so many times, you still have not understood this? :confused:

At 35, Zlatan is fitter than many who are far younger than him. And if he needs a rest, he'll tell Jose this and Jose will listen.
