Not his best game, but he’s dangerous driving in to the box. Defenders back off him. He needs a good summer break but he’s definitely nailed down this position.

Highly likely he is going to the Copa with Argentina .
That's why he's starting. He is so dangerous on the break and defenders backing off him, sometimes even getting corners.
He will sit on the bench so he will be able to get some rest there.
Cost us two games in a row now.
Still, he’s just a kid and head and shoulders our most threatening attacker at the moment.

Very wasteful today but a lot of fans forget just how young he is and that he is only playing so much at this point because Sancho and Rashford have been atrocious this season.
Full of running as always, goes down a bit too easy at times. He needs to slow down a bit and play with his head up. Also think his dribbling needs work, ball gets too far away from his feet at times, makes it easier for defenders to pinch it off him.
He's still young and has the raw talent and work rate that should see him become a top player.

Very poor today. These games are ones the young lads should be controlling. Making and finishing chances. We are always going to let teams back in when we are so wasteful and predictable
His brother X thread on ref decisions againt us. Why Slot?

That handball is in my books still a penalty.
Yeah. Garnacho, Mainoo and Hojlund are playing as starters at their very young age because the generation above them, who should be the star players, all failed or arent good enough. Right now we should have prime Rashford, prime Sancho and prime Martial leading the attack and not Garnacho and Hojlund.
He's a horrible cheat. His two dives in the box were pathetic.
Focusing fully on actually advancing with the ball and beating a player is far more likely to win a penalty than focusing on where the nearest leg you can kick to initiate contact.

I thought the one at the 74th minute was a foul on him. There is a lot of contact from the defenders left foot. Garnacho hams up the reaction, but it's definitely a trip.
Just needs to look up a bit more he can be very selfish.
He rolls around and feigns injury a lot too. Becoming quite unlikable for a homegrown youngster. ETH needs to rest him for a game or two.
potential is there but he needs about 6 xG per goal. Absolutely terrible finisher for someone who goes for it about 10 times a game.
Needs to work a lot on his finishing and final third intelligence. I thought he made a lot of progress in his defensive effort and positioning in the first half of the season, these are the next areas he needs to develop.
He's turned into a greedy player and a cheat. I dislike the player he's becoming

That's called turning into an Argentinian.
Is everyone now using the "enough is enough" phrase on social media? First Rashford now this dude.
His idol is Ronaldo…
I think ita largely down to the system and manager. Still believe Garnacho can be turned into an assist machine in a better system.
Doubt any young player will realise their full potential in our dysfunctional team.
His stats on champ manager would be 17 pace, 16 dribbling, 9 finishing. He is terrible at finishing, something he must work on.
-4 strength.
Need a summer on the creatine.
surprised people are criticisng him for going down under the oshea foul on him, in the side angle you can see he clearly kicks him, and its absolutely a penalty if the standards are the ones awarded against us lately.
its funny because his earlier goals for us showed some really high quality finishing. I cant remember who they were against but if you see a video of his goals from last season he had some lovely finishes in high pressure, also the disallowed one away at arsenal was a lovely finish. He seems to have lost that touch though, some shockers in recent weeks
He needs to work on his strength, balance and agility. Sure he is selfish and his finishing could improve but that will come with game experience. If he doesn't work on his physical traits like Ronaldo did, he won't become a top player imo.
Costs us yet another game by being a selfish cnut, I wouldn't start him in another game this season.
Wouldn't say that. I just think he's a much better right winger than left winger. Said it ages ago. On the left, a player wants to cut in on their strongest foot and always thinks they can do the curl into the corner finish and they can do so without lifting their head up. Same problem Rashford has. On the right he naturally lifts his head up and sees his options while he still is capable of strong left footed shots, he's much less selfish, and he's a much better player. Everyone has the odd bad game but he's a far better prospect as a right winger than a left.
I'm just putting it down to overliance and pressure on him to deliver, we shouldn't be so reliant on him.
He's also been vastly overplayed this season, he needed Rashford to hit a purple patch and Antony to deliver, so there was time to breath for him.

All from the left. Like Sancho his best position is locked down by enough is enough.
If a position turns a player into a more selfish version then something is wrong with him. I've seen cut and try to shoot on his left when playing from the right
Nah it's just different areas of the pitch make people play different ways. Nothing wrong with him, on the left he just a bit in a tunnel and like everyone, wants to take it on his right foot because the player he is. On the right that drives him to be a creator and not a scorer.
And yes, on the right he can cut in and shoot but he's mainly right footed so he'll naturally lift his head up far more. Players don't play the same on both wings, it's rare that they can even play on both these days. He's a different type of player when playing left wing vs right wing. Just a much higher ceiling on the right, he's more patient, makes better decisions, more composed. Kind of like Nani, he was always far better on the right for me. Decision making went down the drain on the left.
If a position can affect that much a player in terms of basic football IQ (the passing openings yesterday weren't hard to spot) then the player is question is problematic.
He's 19.
It doesn't matter, he gets rightly praised when he does amazing stuff. The opposite is also fair
I'm never dssapointed with him. He never stops trying or being dangerous. Even on off days. For me he is twice the player on the right than he is on the left. Im still glad he can operate on both flanks regardless and will get even better as decision making improves with maturity. As it stands now IMO he should be our first choice RW going forward.
