a superb pass to Rashford aside it's been a truly terrible first half

bring back arrogant Zlatan - dropping deeper and deeper with a first touch that reminds you of Rooney
One of the worst centre forward displays I've seen
Jose has to put Rooney up top on the back of his last couple performances from zlatan
 
It's starting look like grandad Ibra needs to spend the rest of the season on the bench next to uncle Wayne.
 
Play nice children, or I'll bang your heads together.
It's difficult to stay away because Fergus'son posts about his hate for Zlatan in every thread. Look at all his posts, it's just hatred, nothing else. I will try not to bite.
 
He'll give 10 balls away in midfield that lead to counter attacks for every one decent pass.

Strikers/creators take more risks but there's taking risks and there's being stupidly reckless.
Agreed losing the ball trying to take on a defender or a shot is one thing but dropping deep and being a liability is another thing all together

Absolutely not. If he's dropping Zlatan then one of Martial (when fit) or Rashford goes up top.
 
He looks unaware at times, which is unnecessary. However, if we truly want him to perform - we should aim for more of the situations where he has players ahead of himself. Like his pass to Pogba ahead of the freekick, and the through ball to Rashford.

That is what he does better than most.
 
We'd be nicer if your posts were a bit more constructive.

He's playing like utter shite - I can't make that constructive.

Anyway, you and him can continue defending Zlatan (one good pass and you're all over him) when everyone else can see how poor he's been. It just shows how much you know really.
 
Zlatan need to come off. His head is down and looks a liability out there. We need someone who can hold the ball up, turn and start a damn attack. Also hoping the team are wearing studs in the second half.

Ok, now you're getting annoying. And there's only one way that will end.

Zlatan is playing almost as bad as your attitude. We can do something about one of those things.
 
It's incredible how some people think the answer is to replace Ibrahimovic with Rooney. Memories of a fecking goldfish.

It's because you post about him as soon as he does something bad. That's why we who actually support our players and who don't buy your shite about how much you hate Zlatan, or how much of a clown Smalling is post also when he does good things.

Also that said. I love Zlatan ;)

:lol:

Try?! How fecking seriously do you take this forum?
 
Can't believe people are suggesting we bring Rooney back. Zlatan has been bad but christ at least he can still score at times, Rooney can't.
 
Yeah, pretty bad besides that pass. He looked spry his first few games. Hopefully he gets going, but it could be age catching up with him.

Rooney is not the solution though. The solution is a new CF or play Rashford up top.
 
Rooney's been every bit as bad, which is why he was dropped in the first place!
He wasn't playing up front, and when he was played up front he was great and responsible for 2 goals
Zlatan hasn't scored or assisted for how many games? And continues to miss chance after chance
 
We starting to go bluemoon? People swearing at each other?

As far as Ibrahimovic goes he has not been good in my eyes, would like to see someone who could do little passes with Pogba and Mata in nr 9 to create a dynamic environment. I think Ibrahimovic needs a spell on the sidelines to refocus and gain momentum from scratch. It's good that all the pressure is falling to him tbh cos if it doesn't work out that is why he was brought in a way.
 
Granted he could have done better in some passes, but hes got defenders around him at all times. He cant win every ball.
 
I want him to improve and prove to us he's still at his best but he looks diabolical at the moment. If he doesn't deliver in the next couple of weeks he needs to be dropped so Martial or Rashford can get a go centrally. Nowhere near good enough right now and it's getting to the point where it's difficult just to call it poor form or a blip.
