He looked tired yesterday but still managed to chip in with a goal. I would rest him for the next 2 cup games and start either Rashford or Martial up top.
 
In 18 years he has only missed 36 games through injury. Insane athlete.

What an inspirational signing he has been and all for free. Well done Jose.
 
And by the way. A Zlatan who plays one game every week is better than a Zlatan who only plays one game in two weeks. He is a player that grows from playing a lot. That's why he always wants to play. If he's fit, he therefore should play.

I think Mourinho will play him in the first game against Hull, and hopefully get a result that can leave Zlatan on the bench the next game.

Played more minutes than anyone else in our team this season including De Gea(!). It's mental, 35 years old. Rooney should think a long time about how good you can be at that age if you take care of your body.

Don't think Rooney can do that anymore, even if he wanted to. He didn't exactly win genetic lottery and for him to be in shape Zlatan is at 35 would have required several years of taking care of your self to the max all the way from start of his prime years. Too late for that.

Had some plans to visit Sweden this year. It's on a pause right now, those plans, but if I go first thing I'll visit will be his birth house.
Are there any other famous sites in Sweden? :D
 
Doesn't even play and gets a thread bump.

Was excellent on the bench today! :lol:
 
Just look at this:



A lot of incredible moments i have forgotten. Could have had at least 10 more assist in the league. Incredible passes. I am almost wondering if he is actually still better than Costa.

His holdup play is incredible. Probably even better than RVP.
 
Health Warning
Do not watch Zlatan and Poggers compilations one after the other.... you could get an adrenaline overdose!

The soundtrack reminds me of the Pogba compilation from the summer :drool:
 
The guys an enigma ehat a professional and complete legend of the game. Love watching him play and his little passes and moves are out of this world. Hes our best striker and no.10 rolled into one. Long may it continue.

This is for sure. RVP may not lose the ball as often but he has the tendency to being pushed/forced back thus slowing down our build up. Zlatan even if not winning the duel can force error from the opponent defenders. It's similar to RVN vs Saha all again, but this time Zlatan (on side with Saha: better all around game) arguably is a better forward overall.
 
He is the kind of a striker who can be very poor for 89 minutes and 55 seconds and then from nowhere pop up with a goal. Not since RVN we got this kind of a forward.

Can we pursuade him to stay beyond 2018? by this rate he should still be very healthy and strong in 2 years time i think.

Amazing. If we had our collective shooting boots on in Oct and Nov, we'd probably be level with Chelsea now.

Not this crap again. Ruud at his peak shat all over Saha. Ruud had just started to slow down.
 
We should've had him from Ajax.
Well I think that he is now at 35 as good player as he was ever been. I watched him quite a lot when he played for Juventus because my brother support Juventus and back then we both lived in the same house and as much as I can remember he was not as clinical as he is now (wel he still isn't the most clinical player) and he is much much smarter player then he was back in Juventus days. Overall much better player then he was back then. You could argue that his prime years were at Inter where he played great but I kinda have a feeling that a bad experience from Barca gaved him that push to show how big mistake they did and to try/train even harder.

You're definitely right about Barca changing him.

Yes, I think he is known more of scorer of great goals rather than being a great goal scorer back then. He is a much better player overall nowadays, if anything it would probably better to get him after Milan where I think he started to score more goals. I may be wrong, might need to check on the stats again. :p

EDIT: Yes 28 league goals in 32 appearances for what I consider a not so elite Milan team during that time. Pretty good.

That video just reminds me of how fecking insane it was that we didn't beat West Ham, Stoke and Burnley at home.
 
Not in the matchday squad tonight, according to MEN. No clue on why, Jose will probably speak to MUTV before the lineups are announced.
