He was certainly not good for 90. Had some good moments but also done extremely frustrating moments. Overall one of our better players but that wasn't saying much.

What were you expecting from him exactly? To take on his man every time he got the ball? To not take his man on at all? I don't understand? He was comfortably out best player, created chances for himself and others, worked hard and was a consistent threat from both AM and RWB.
 
Needs to play at wing back every game. We have no threat from wide without him.

Got too easily frustrated today and made some rash decisions, still the only player who looked like he may do something
 
He was terrible tonight, but even that performance shows how utterly f**ked we are when him and Mbeumo leave for the AFCON

He gave the ball away cheaply on occasion, gave away a stupid foul throw and a couple of needless silly fouls that took the pressure off them. He wasn't good for 90 is what I'm saying. Overall he was one of the better of a woeful bunch - looked a threat at times, even if it usually came to nothing.
 
I couldn't believe how poor he was. Not because things weren't working when he was trying them, but because his stupidity and immaturity killed out momentum on so, so many occasions.

I wonder if I'm overreacting when I say that was the worst individual attacking performance of the season.

EDIT: I'm genuinely shocked to read others in the thread suggesting he was anything other than dreadful. Maybe I'm missing something.

Literally every player gives away possession cheaply in almost 100% of games they play, let alone attackers. Foul throw was dumb and the foul on Grealish was immature. Other than that I didn't see much wrong with his game, created chances and worked hard.

You are overreacting. Massively.

What did he create? Ran with the ball well at times and slung a few crosses that didn't really go anywhere, but beyond that I struggle to point to what he's created.

The 3 chances he created for himself? The chance he created for Zirkzee? The chance he created for Mbeumo? There are more as well that aren't coming to mind right now.

I thought he was the only attacking player to show any energy in the first half. His end product was frustrating but the energy levels from everyone else around him made him look a lot better and forgivable in terms of his performance. I cannot get over how lethargic everyone was in the first half. Genuinely shocking.
 
There's great talent there, but there's an arrogance in his play which I think comprimises what he produces on the pitch. He's also lightweight defensively.

Biggest joke... 85 mins, takes a foul-throw-in whilst clearly on the pitch! That's just idiotic.
 
It was slimmer than slim pickings but he was the only one who showed anything positive. Upsetting the balance he's created with Mbuemo on the right always seemed like a recipe for disaster - that combo has been our only threat the entire season. Once he was eventually moved back to RWB he got on the ball and did "something" (moved the ball forwards....?)
 
I had mixed feelings because statistically he tried 5 dribbles and was successful 4 times and had 4 key passes so his outcomes were pretty much our best. Yet given the amount of times he had the ball on the wing and with having 5 shots with only 1 being on target and that was straight at the keeper, it just felt like he could have done more. Still the best of our attackers but some poor decision making
 
Kinda feel like he is massively overrated. He has some skill but nowhere near that top level for me. Generally seems to try hard but seems like just mainly a moment here or there that actually comes off. Feels like we are set up in a way that is reliant on him carrying us but don't really think he can
 
Don't get the criticism on here. I feel he's one of the few who can hold their heads up tonight.

There is no way he completed 4 out of 5 dribbles, these stats are so useless. I feel like today he struggled getting past whoever their left back was, I can recall at least 2 clear moments where he tried dribbling and got stopped immediately
 
Lively and willing, yet also stupendously wasteful and annoying. Not for the first time this season. Being the best attacker tonight is like being the intelligent one out of Beavis & Butthead.

He is a bit up and down for me. Which isn’t so strange as he is young. Some wants to say he’s better than Mbeumo, but I disagree - he makes too many ineffective decisions, disappears too much from games from time to time, his finishing is erratic. Some wants to say he lacks top talent, aand I disagree. His technique and footwork is such that when it clicks for him, he is a matchwinner immediately. Unfortunately he is young in every sense of the word, and sometimes he is a match winner and sometimes like today, he doesn’t really bring to the team what a Man Utd attacker should be expected to bring.
 
Amorim baffles me. He played Amad on the left a couple of times early in the season and it was awful.

He learnt his lesson against Spurs and instead put Mbeumo left and Amad right and it worked a lot better.

Then tonight he reverts back to what wasn't working? Just really bad management.

Amad should have started RWB anyway with Mount starting, we're at home. But if you're going to start Amad as a 10, it needs to be right 10.



Anyway, he was dreadful like the rest of the team.

He truly was dreadful. I agree 100%. Tried to force things, tried to be the savior.
 
Yes, he played on the left where he's usually bad, but even despite this he was woeful, so many unforced errors, misplaced passes..
 
Absolutely woeful last night, decision making was absolutely poor.
Is churning up worse performances than Garnacho for example yet getting way more leeway than the likes of Garnacho for a poor performance.
 
He was ok. Better than the other attacking players which does not say a lot.
I still think we should have cashed in on him when the hype was on its peak. Especially once Mbeumo was on the horizon.

Clueless.
 
Wasn’t our worst player on the night but that was still an abject performance. Squad player at best.

Indeed, A lot of his decision making last night was in fact clueless.

Can you blame him? One week he’s RWB the next a 10. Mid game he’s moved around.

Let him play the RWB role when he’s fit if he’s your first choice. Let him continue to develop with Mbuemo.

Why Amorim keeps tinkering I’ll never know. Just does his own legs.
 
Best of a bad bunch yesterday. Not too harsh on him or Mbeumo as they are the only ones that show any ingenuity in attack and the only reason we can score. If they had a more competent team/system around them their flaws would be less noticeable.
 
Weirdly enough, he played better on the left side than as a RWB yesterday. The problem in the first half was that he was stuck with a clueless, technically limited wingback who couldn’t take advantage of the only player on his team offering any quality. In the 2nd half, he let Grealish get into his head and was easily crowded alongside Mbeumo.

It is interesting to see how people can watch the match from different lenses.

I think he was horrific, not created anything of substance playing LAM with Dorgu, but I agree he was better than the others and more lively. Once he moved to RWB he had one of the worst performances of the season.

Grealish dominated him at both ends of the pitch. Kept killing momentum with braindead decision making, putting in shite crosses in the box and then being angry that there is nobody at the end of them. In the end he completely lost his head giving away stupid fouls, just look at the way he has taken the throw in. If this is supposed to be one our "best players" we are in serious trouble.
 
Very selfish performance but he wasn't alone in that. Wanted to do everything on his own
 
Didn't have a good game, but still probably looked one of the more likely ones to produce something to get a goal. Hasn't had a particularly good start to the season, I don't think.
 
Really surprised to see people laying into him, he and Mbeumo were the only ones who had decent games. They had a couple of poor shots and poor passes but they showed urgency and aggression which was beyond the others.

I said last season that the players know who they're playing with and it effects them negatively They knew Hojlund was shit and they know Zirkzee is shit so they suddenly limit their options and it can mean selfish play.
 
Awful as a 10 (recurring theme?) but better when he moved to wing back. Better but still not great. You’d have to say that overall he really isn’t kicking on this season like we would have hoped when he was one of the only positives of the last couple of years. At an age now where he should be more consistent than he is. By no means our biggest problem but disappointing all the same.

Garnacho is the worst winger I've ever seen for this club. Worse than Obertan. To claim Amad has been anywhere close to that level of shit, especially after a good performance, is utterly clueless.
