He won't work as ST against low block.
Right attacker is where he will flourish.
Beast.
 
He’s one of those who I accept for what he is. He’s not a good dribbler and his acceleration over short spaces is average, so I don’t see a quality wide player in him. However in terms of first touch (usually) and ability to make a difference in the final third, he is excellent. He looks at his best down the middle or inside right where the fullback is giving most of the width
 
Credit him for his massive covering sprint during their late chance last night (Yoro's tackle on Wilson).

Mbuemo had the cutback covered having raced the length of the pitch. After playing a full ninety.

Fair play and good to see.
 
He should just play RW against the uber defensive teams with Sesko ahead. Amad and him compete for that spot, that’s great competition.

Would like to see us try and nab someone like Evanilson as a different CF to Sesko who will press and harry like maniac whilst still being technically very good in tight spaces (which I feel Mbeumo maybe lacks).
 
Say what you will about his suitability up front for that kind of game. He didn't pick himself to play there. Plus he got the assist.

That's class, you'd never get that from the previous imposters we had. That attitude from him and many others have me confident about the future

Love that. We all knew about his ability on the ball in the final third, but I had no idea he had that level of tireless work rate off the ball. I'm so glad we have him. I'll happily admit I was wrong when I said we should have walked away from the deal after Brentford rejected our third bid.

Yeah but Cunha could off come up with one of those insane shots/goals outside the box out of nowhere, Mbeumo doesnt have that

How do you know he doesnt have that and why the comparison ? Why must he have what Cunha has ? Does Cunha have What Mbeumo has ?

Because he hasn’t scored or taken any decent shots from outside the box for us. Who said I'm comparing them? In a game like West Ham with them defending with 11 men, shots from outside the box can be the solution. And anyway, why should Cunha have what Mbeumo has?

That type of mentality is one of the reasons he remains in the first team ahead of Sesko. It's pretty clear Carrick is favouring players with a certain work ethic and mindset. Teams aren't outrunning us anymore. Olly could never get that part right. He wanted the team to be more aggressive, more robust etc, but he couldn't get that extra bit out of them, what Carrick seems to be doing now. I feel like these fine details are going over peoples heads.

Yeah @Olly Gunnar Solskjær
 
He is productive even if on the fringe of the game. There’s room for improvement in his game but I suspect he’ll end the season on 14-15 league goals which would be a very good return.

He has something you can’t teach in temperament too, openers v City, Liverpool, Spurs x 2 and the Arsenal equaliser. Seems stone cold at key moments.

Seeing this immediately reminded me of that famous video where Enrique was telling Mbappe to track back and help the defense when things aren't going well up front, which was exactly the case here. Feels like karma that he recorded an assist at the end of the game, even if it wasn't related nor was the delivery even that great.

All the more impressive given this was in the dying minutes of the game, too.
 
People have unrealistic expectations of him and forget that it's still his first season. He is much better on the ball than he is showing now. We already saw that in the first few games.

He is a bit out of form but still scoring the important goals.
 
Not a CF and had a poor game (who didn't?) but AGAIN comes away with a vital contribution. His productivity is fantastic.
 
Interesting that he has a thing with getting those assists and goals. He had a good footballing brain, useful even if not on good form.
 
Did what Cunha was supposed to do earlier.

The chance he smashed over, he should have done better.
 
Another game another G/A. Decisive player even if the general play isn’t there
 
Hopefully wasn't injured as even when he is poor he still finds a way of getting a goal or an assist
 
Missed this game but I see that he provided an assist again. Is there a more efficient player? I think he should be moved to the right though. That's his natural position, where he played for Brentford.
 
As others have said, even when he plays poor I always think he has a goal or an assist in him.
 
Was genuinely awful for the majority of the game and even the assist he got was a tough watch because he looked like forgot how to control a ball.

Was a shite night all around but on Mbeumo specifically playing as a 9 shouldn't mean he loses all ability as a footballer... some many times the attack would die because he couldnt trap the ball.
