The only ones upset are those that thought he’d transform us instantly.
Was pretty funny in the summer when posters were saying he could get 15 goals in the PL. I had him down for 12 in the season as a whole.
I looked at him as a player to evaluate over two years and so far I like what I see. Obviously not ready to start week in week out for us but we knew that already and he just happens to be our best attacker at the moment.
I think he is ready to start bar the odd erratic decision and such, but that’s expected. Currently the kid would need close to a 100% conversion rate to look even remotely good to this fanbase, when even the best strikers in Haaland and Kane are sitting around the 30% mark.
We create nothing, we are a dreadful football team currently, we’re feeding him dust nevermind scraps, genuinely what is this guy meant to do when our midfield is virtually non existent at the best of times and the wingers are either extremely selfish bar the odd cross or just have no ability whatsoever. Seriously I am asking, what do people here want him to do? He has ability but he aint exactly prime Rooney or Ronaldo is he, he needs help and it seems the match going fans understand this because they clearly see he has it in him but he’s being hung out to dry as a kid and that’s why they are booing his substitutions.
For anyone suggesting a Kane type signing would have changed anything this season need to pull their heads out of their ass, it aint the forward position that’s the problem, its everywhere else. Hell even when Hojlund is scoring (vs Galatasary) the rest of the team could do nothing but bend over, stroll around, not track runners, give the ball away etc etc and completely feck it all up.
He’s a player for the future and now and people need to start realising that we should be building a team to consistently challenge in the future and not always cry about the fact that we can’t challenge here and now, so many fans on here are stupidly short sighted when it comes to this team and this club, crying that we aren’t challenging this season as if we were ever going to in our state. The club was stupid to buy players like Casemiro for a high fee, not players like Hojlund (even though his fee was a little too high).
Could he be playing better? Of course he could be but at least he gives a shit when too many players are strolling around that pitch as if they couldn’t be bothered and you’re in here moaning about him? He’s the least of our worries, infact i’d say he’s currently the only bright spark in this sea of utter shit.
