That was a terrible miss, he should have burried it with his eyes closed.

Sort of like the two easy chances he provided for others via the backheel flick and the toe poke pass from the wing. Their keeper is having a great day.

Not really, Ibrahimovic's chance was the easiest one by mile. He could have asked the keeper where he wants him to shoot.

Who cares ? The point is he is contributing in attack and creating real chances for others.

Well everyone should care, he should be scoring those chances.
 
I could give two fecks if he's like Van Persie. I'm more concerned at how we are playing as a team rather than having daily moans at individual players.

Well he is not helping us playing well as a team at all, his hold up play is average at best so far and he is far from deadly in front of goal either, so he definitely deserves some criticism.

You have serious issues if you think Ibra is one of our problems.

I am not sure why you try to make it sound like I want to accuse him of being our problem, I just don't think he is playing well and that he deserves criticism. In majority of our games he wasn't even close to our best player.
 
He is not playing well at the moment and that IS a problem for us. The amount of chances he has wasted in the last month is unacceptable.
 
His touch is awful at times. The ball seems to bounce off him, he regularly misses easy passes and then misses a sitter a game. He's pretty frustrating right now.
 
What? He's been fine this game. Created a lot of chances. Not one of our problems at all here.
Of course he is. He's literally on the pitch to finish off attacks by putting the ball into the back of the net. He's not doing it. And it's not as if it's a one off, he's simply not been clinical enough this season, and it's a worry.

An Aguero in his place today, and we'd have been cruising instead of dropping two points. Simple as.
 
Keeper might have been great but there's no way Zlatan should be missing the chance in the 1st time. He had all the time in the world and the entire goal to shoot at.

He's scored a lot of goals already and created just as much. So no I don't agree one bit. He's been one of our best players easily this season.
 
His finishing is below par.

There's a lot of hype around him, but we should be aiming for so much better than this.
 
I really hope both him and Rooney aren't anywhere close to being our main striker for next season. We need a lot better.
 
His all round play today was very good, he made some excellent runs into the channels and created openings, but his finishing was very disappointing.

Even if the bolded part was true, it doesn't change the fact that he's part of the problem as long as he's not putting away his chances. It's not a hard concept to understand.
 
Was he this wasteful at PSG? Always thought he was pretty clinical but has missed a number of good chances this season.
 
His finishing is not as great as I thought it would be. His general play is decent & overall it was an ok performance. But for his standards, he should've scored at least 2 today.
 
If he went for the far corner for that 1st chance it would have been a different game. What if.
 
Ibra has great hold up and build up play, and so often makes sure we retain possession. Compare him to Rooney as striker... Ibra relies on people constantly making runs in front of him to get the best out of him which we haven't been good enough as.
 
I don't know how his all round play is good. He has a fancy flick a game that works but overall his passing isn't that great, he often comes back to get the ball and it seems to bounce off him. Either play him behind a striker or don't let him drop that deep
