I loved that duo, for that one season, but of course he would, he’s a much better player than Cole.
I'd argue its more that he's been stop-start. He had some great games in the first half of the season muddled in with some anonymous ones, which, now I'm reading it back is probably your point
Since March I think he's been pretty consistently good.Pretty sure it was Henry that said Cole is one of his favourite strikers.
Do you have the stats for the second half of the season? Would be interesting to see how he fared after his injuries and building up his fitness level.
Yeah if there is one thing others on the team can learn from him, it would be timing the runs. Simply impeccable.
I love Greenwood but his anticipation and willingness to get into the right area is SO far off Cavani. I really hope he starts to really try and pick up on it and puts in the work.

I don't agree. You can definitely teach it, some will be naturally better but it's about drilling it into them to make the run.
I would not say that OGS had it - he just had a remarkable ability to get his shots on target, and that was down to practice. OGS scored very few tap-ins.
One season and actually, we broke it up plenty that season. In both finals we did just that and were a better side for it in fact.
Our best season. I won't let you do it. They will not be broken up in the 99 season(except rotation). They were the perfect duo.
Yes, they did and they both played 50/51 games each that season. Schmeichel managed 56 appearances so they'd played together plenty.
Ugh, can't believe I forgot my literal favourite player for United. Yes, Ruud absolutely it.
He has almost the same g/a as Rashford in 1000 less minutes and he works much much harder than him on the pitch. Our young players need to look at the work rate desire and movement because that’s what’s majorly holding them back. They stroll and jog around waiting for other players (read Bruno) to make things happen for them instead of forcing the issue for each other or showing any drive. It’s been driving me mad this season.
in what way?
Yeah you have to factor in the partnership between players, it makes the result greater than the sum of its parts.
I've not followed Cavani through his career. Did he ever have a partnership like that? I know he did good with Ibra but I'm sure he was often pushed wide to accommodate Ibra.
Yorke/Cole yes, but Rooney/Tevez is a closer call.
Not that I can remember, he’s always been a lone striker really and pushed wide at PSG to accommodate Ibra, which is a bit of a disgrace really considering they were some of his peak years
(But sort of understandable when you also have Ibra in the side.)That's a little unfair. Cavani wouldn't be doing the sort of things he's doing now as a teenager.
It's not a comment on the player he's going to be, like I said I hope he improves that aspect of his game because at the moment they are in different worlds in that respect.
This 100%. It’s really refreshing to see a real hard working number 9 like Cavani, even if we don’t get to see the best version it’s the best we’ve had since RVP. However, I get so fecking annoyed when you compare our younger attackers to Cavani. The likes of Rashford, Greenwood and Martial have a long way to go and should be working a lot harder on and off the pitch. Put the work in, make the runs, force a mistake and eventually the goals and assists will come. They’re sulking way too much and that’s holding them back.
Give this fury warrior a like.
Good post.
What's also mad is that he is our best signing this year and was free, and our worst of the year is the most expensive of the 4.
Football Association will definitely give us tight schedule next season, so most likely we'll be vulnerable without proper reinforcements, once again.
From Jan 1st (He was suspended till 12th), he has 13 Goals + assists in 1238 mins (95 mins per G+A).
Christ if I’m a lemon for not knowing the exact time you post what does that make you for doubting Cavani team contributionI posted at 9:27 this morning you lemon
if we had a great winger, he'd have scored even more. Can you imagine Beckham pinging it on to his head?
Yup, and were shocking the pair of them, as was the rest of the side in fairness. Thankfully we had Becks on the pitch and Teddy (especially) / Ole on the bench.
we really need a creative winger and younger Cavani type so badly if we want to reach the top and stay there.
