He's playing well overall but as a striker the be-all-end-all is goals. He has had a fantastic midfield create clear-cut chances for him. So, even the supposed lack of creativity isn't an excuse.
 
The Zlatan bed wetters are back I see. Just in time for the 2nd half.

You really give bad example for administrator of this forum. It's not posters' fault your boy can't score to save his life.
 
Can't believe I'm saying this but he is shite...

...at the minute...
 
I don't really think it's a confidence thing, he just always takes a boatload of chances to try to score.

If his career efficiency was anywhere close to what he's shown this past month, he wouldn't be here today, that's for sure. So while I don't disagree with you that he's not necessarily a very good finisher, what we're seeing now is surely an anomaly.

Would you not agree he looks a bit sluggish compared to his flying start? He may very well score in the second half but really he should have scored 2 of the chances he was presented with already. I think a rest will do him a world of good right now.
 
He was fine yes. Some posters come in here as soon as he makes a bad pass. At least he takes the risk rather than others who pass the nearest man just to get a good stat.. I rather sub Rashford or Lingard.

Poor finishing, very poor touches, stupid fouls and far more bad passes than good is not a sign of a fine performance.
 
He's missing some real sitters. If we don't win this match, he'll be the one responsible for 2 or 3 dropped points

Throughout his entire career it has been the case, it's no anomaly. He's not the only top-tier striker to even be like this either. van Persie and Lewandowski are other examples.

Fantastic midfield? I think even the most super pro positive United fan would struggle to agree with that.

He's making my decision to swap out Aguero for him and captain him look absolutely insane so far.

This is Stoke at home again but without the level of good chances.
 
In fairness lads that chance with heaton was tough. He cant see the goaly coming out.
 
He's been poor and I would like to see Rashford pushed up front if nothing changes in the first ten minutes. It's just annoying that there is a couple of posters who are straight in here at the first sign of a misplaced pass because their idol has been rightfully dropped.

If you're not even the slightest bit concerned he's not scored in 6 league games, then well, you are a legend of positivity and I salute your confidence.
 
Doesn't deserve to start. I also don't like him whining at other players shots, shut up and carry on.

He hasn't been poor, wouldn't mind Rashford up top though.

I don't think you're appreciating the number of finishes he's fudged the past month. It's an anomaly. No striker at the highest level has a 1 in 10, or even worse in Zlatan's current situation, worse conversion ratio of decent chances.

Fanastic midfield?!?!
Fantastic midfield in this 1st half at least, you deny? What more can they do? They've helped dominate the ball, the space and all in all created opportunities. It is up to the main striker to score now.
 
Needs a goal and then he'll get flowing again.

Just not finishing at the moment but at least he's there for the chances.
 
:lol: Where is today's sitter? The one where Heaton made a great save? Sitter. The new word when Zlatan miss a chance.

It's easy to blame the new boy.
The one where he was one on one with Mata's pass. You'd expect any top striker to slot those. Sure it wasn't easy, but those are the chances that should be going in

He has been involved in creating some of those opportunities
 
Overall game has been good, just lacked the finish. His link up play with Pogba and Mata has been very good.

He needs to finish that chance though. Changes the game completely and we would be looking at a comfortable win because Burnley can't sit so deep.

I agree, but it was a great save.
 
The last few games I saw of him for PSG and Sweden he barely moved all game. He seems to have put in a bit more effort in running about, maybe this is affecting his game?
 
Please feck off, just feck off.

Absolute fecking fraud. Just feck off.
 
If he'd scored all the sitters he's missed this season we'd be top of the league.
