Not that he's not winning every but his losing most of aerial duels which is odd. Just a player that's not PL level and most probably worst striker United have had since PL started. Still not useless as his pressing was helpful in some games. Also played well in CC final.How can someone that is likely over 8ft tall when he jumps be so fecking pathetic in the air? He should surely be winning every singe aerial duel.
Issue is he can't jump so he is still basically 6ft6! So while shorter player around the 6ft mark have a bit of a leap on them, it means they are able to win aerial battles against Weghorst.over 8ft tall when he jumps
These days I am bit suspicious about this generation of European strikers. I feel like some of them are purposely avoiding headers (especially high lofted ones) with all that concerns about dementia and all...Issue is he can't jump so he is still basically 6ft6! So while shorter player around the 6ft mark have a bit of a leap on them, it means they are able to win aerial battles against Weghorst.
I suspect it's even worse, I've noticed him jump for headers with a weird bend/crouch while doing it, which means he ends up even smaller than 6ft6Issue is he can't jump so he is still basically 6ft6! So while shorter player around the 6ft mark have a bit of a leap on them, it means they are able to win aerial battles against Weghorst.
They do show up in stats, he's top 5% in Europe for his position in Tackles and Blocks, top 2% in Interceptions and top 12% in clearances, top 1% for presses and average about 11km/90 distance covered. Unfortunately, he's at the bottom 10 or 5% for shots, goals, take ons, progressive carries, touches. He's literally a striker with the stats of a defender.His stats: 23 games played (1177 minutes), 1 goal scored and 1 assist must be a record (and not in a good way). I read on here he was good at holding the ball for others to play off him and had a good work rate, things that don't show up in statistics, but I will be very surprised if Utd. keep him on.
If you changed the name to Scott McTominay you'd say they were decent.They do show up in stats, he's top 5% in Europe for his position in Tackles and Blocks, top 2% in Interceptions and top 12% in clearances, top 1% for presses and average about 11km/90 distance covered.

If we’d played Fred in his position he’d probably have ended up with similar, if not better defensive stats, while still scoring more goals (and winning more headers, probably)They do show up in stats, he's top 5% in Europe for his position in Tackles and Blocks, top 2% in Interceptions and top 12% in clearances, top 1% for presses and average about 11km/90 distance covered.

Martial has been very good against City in the past. Weghorst would be a complete passenger.Will do better this Saturday with Weghorst in the team then had Martial started...
This is true, sad and funny in equal measureIf we’d played Fred in his position he’d probably have ended up with similar, if not better defensive stats, while still scoring more goals (and winning more headers, probably)
He can't score when the goal is wide open, let alone some sort of rocket.Last minute rocket in the FA cup final top corner from the half-way line to go down in MUFC history.
Especially for a big club. It’s understandable if he was at Burnley in the Prem playing defensive football but still awful granted.His stats: 23 games played (1177 minutes), 1 goal scored and 1 assist must be a record (and not in a good way). I read on here he was good at holding the ball for others to play off him and had a good work rate, things that don't show up in statistics, but I will be very surprised if Utd. keep him on. I will be very surprised if Burnley keep him once he goes back there too. Is that the arrangement?
Wow. You can put 20 times word "very" but it is still harsh on Giroud. Giroud is a very good striker actually. In fact; isn't he best France goalscorer of all time?Poor man's Giroud - a very very poor man.
Fixed it for you.Poor man's Dong - a very very poor man.
Same, if we're not including random academy players who featured twice in the League Cup and such.Worst player I've seen at this club, especially one to be featured this much.
top goalscorer but definitely not best.Wow. You can put 20 times word "very" but it is still harsh on Giroud. Giroud is a very good striker actually. In fact; isn't he best France goalscorer of all time?
He shouldn’t be anywhere near the pitch for such a huge game.One goal will be worth more than 20 if he manages it in the final.
Some might say he doesn’t deserve **** idol status but his passion and effort during his time here have never been in question. It would be a beautiful thing.
We need a shaman to kiss and curse the ball if it goes to penalties.He shouldn’t be anywhere near the pitch for such a huge game.
He wont get in the Burnley team.He'll be playing against us next year for Burnley in the prem - it'd be most ironic if we sent him off with a couple of medals this summer only for him to put one away against us in the autumn.
But he never starts when Martial is available. We don’t have any other forwards, that’s the only reason he plays. There’s no way he stays. As if ETH thinks it’s a “tactical master stroke” to play a striker that never scores. Get a grip.If he starts the cup final then I’m convinced he will stay next season. There is no way a player plays this many games only to be discarded at the end of the season. He’s easily top 5 in terms of appearances for the club since he’s joined.
ETH thinks playing him is some sort of tactical master stroke. I can’t see how ETH does a 180 in July and realises he‘s a donkey.
Every time he’s on the pitch is like being down to 10 men.
