Generates immense power in his shots.Ta, decent goal. RVP style.
One of their players had a cramp outsite the penalty area leading up to the goal. They wanted us to play it out, despite themselves initially playing on. They had (naturally, no complaints) been time wasting from the start including several "cramps" before. Then we scored, they complained and he shushed them. Maybe it was unneeded, but they completely deserved it and it was in line with the game. Either ways, its completely on the referee to stop the game if a player is down, and for a cramp that should never happen, especially during an attack, where it is questionable if the player is feigning itWhy did they target him?
All because he shushed them?
He was very close to scoring of that shot from Rashford he intercepted. But he is not getting any service from Bruno, which has been shown with stats previously.Suppose most are going to give him the Weghorst defence. Tried hard, held the ball and ignore that he missed big chances.
You may think I'm being harsh but the expectation of a United #9 should warrant that.
Agree, nowhere near good enough. Don't want to sound harsh but he's got big expectations. Has to start scoring.6 games without goal in PL. That is not a good start.
Fans still look at his performances like you look at some 17y old academy kid who got his first chance in first team. "Nearly scored", "was unlucky" and "tried hard".Agree, nowhere near good enough. Don't want to sound harsh but he's got big expectations. Has to start scoring.
He had at least two big chances to score from.A good team player who's getting practically no service.
Outside the first twenty minutes (which I missed), he missed one big chance, and I found that to be encouraging for the position he took up and the quick reactions to first control a deflected shot and then rearrange his feet and get a shot away. Good save.Suppose most are going to give him the Weghorst defence. Tried hard, held the ball and ignore that he missed big chances. For me he has to step up and start scoring very soon in the Premier League.
You may think I'm being harsh but the expectation of a starting United #9 should warrant that.
He looks a different player in the league though, he shouldn't be starting but we’ve got feck all else.Are we ignoring the goals he's scored in the champions league?
That's not a good enough defence for me, there's no reason why he shouldn't have made contact, it almost seemed like he dived too early and there's got to be some accountability surely.The earlier one, it can't be a missed chance if you can't get on the end of the cross.
Today Rashford (in some way) created 3 chances for him. Two which gk saved and one when he was short for tap in.A good team player who's getting practically no service.
In fairness, he had 3 very, very good chances todayA good team player who's getting practically no service.
You can but you need to have a nose for the goal. Pippo built a career on goals like thst. Last few years Rashford and Martial were criticized (with the reason) about not being on the right spot in penalty area.Outside the first twenty minutes (which I missed), he missed one big chance, and I found that to be encouraging for the position he took up and the quick reactions to first control a deflected shot and then rearrange his feet and get a shot away. Good save.
The earlier one, it can't be a missed chance if you can't get on the end of the cross. The later one was no longer a golden opportunity by the time it reached Hojlund due to the angle of the pass to him.
I think the skim past the post was harsh on him, was quick and he threw himself at it. Salah was more relaxed in one missed earlier today.In fairness, he had 3 very, very good chances today
That’s true. ‘Not far from the worst.” I wonder how much of a contribution our fans are currently making to the tension and lack of confidence that is shattering the team. It is rarely considered as a factor.For everything that’s wrong with this club, the fans are not from the worst.

It seemed like it was simply out of reach. Messing up your technique is obviously not the same thing.That's not a good enough defence for me, there's no reason why he shouldn't have made contact, it almost seemed like he dived too early and there's got to be some accountability surely.
The same way if someone miss-kicks a ball from 5 yards out you surely still consider that a missed chance rather than ignoring that the incident even happened.
I would say Hojland has displayed a good bit of that predatory instinct from what we've seen so far. Having a natural fox in the box doesn't mean a ball will never be flashed across goal without that player getting on the end of it.You can but you need to have a nose for the goal. Pippo built a career on goals like thst. Last few years Rashford and Martial were criticized (with the reason) about not being on the right spot in penalty area.
It appears so.Are we ignoring the goals he's scored in the champions league?
You've been a hater from the start, no point in even trying to deny it...Suppose most are going to give him the Weghorst defence. Tried hard, held the ball and ignore that he missed big chances. For me he has to step up and start scoring very soon in the Premier League.

Precisly.Outside the first twenty minutes (which I missed), he missed one big chance, and I found that to be encouraging for the position he took up and the quick reactions to first control a deflected shot and then rearrange his feet and get a shot away. Good save.
The earlier one, it can't be a missed chance if you can't get on the end of the cross. The later one was no longer a golden opportunity by the time it reached Hojlund due to the angle of the pass to him.
It does indeed seem like Bruno is intentionally not playing the ball to Højlund, which is as you said backed up by the stats. Erik should take a good long talk with Bruno about that (or imo just leave him on the bench, and give Mount the chance).He was very close to scoring of that shot from Rashford he intercepted. But he is not getting any service from Bruno, which has been shown with stats previously.
Taking Højlund off when he put Eriksen on was beyond daft, given how good those two sync up on the national team.

People obviously have different takes on these things. I must say, though, I find this an amazing comparison.So far he's a stronger, quicker Weghorst. He is the most useful option we have up front at the moment but some are going overboard with the hype. I don't see a clinical striker here.
You're kidding, right? Right?So far he's a stronger, quicker Weghorst. He is the most useful option we have up front at the moment but some are going overboard with the hype. I don't see a clinical striker here.
A fast Weghorst would probably be a very decent forward.So far he's a stronger, quicker Weghorst. He is the most useful option we have up front at the moment but some are going overboard with the hype. I don't see a clinical striker here.
He's barely had any decent service. He will be absolutely fineSo far he's a stronger, quicker Weghorst. He is the most useful option we have up front at the moment but some are going overboard with the hype. I don't see a clinical striker here.
I'm not criticising him, I'm criticising the post I quoted.I think the skim past the post was harsh on him, was quick and he threw himself at it. Salah was more relaxed in one missed earlier today.
The other one was him needing to trap a shot from Rashford (not a pass) and chip the keeper who had already closed in the space. He almost did it.
Micro criticising him to this degree is no good.
And that's because...?He should be coming off the bench in the PL.
