Absolutely nothing I'd say, just talking shite.Based on what?

Hope we see him in action at some stage tomorrow but not too hopeful if ETH has been quoted correctly in the media as saying he is weeks away from been ready. If this is accurate we really are playing catch up again from the start of the season with weaker squad than last season.
Why would you bring on a player who hasn't played a second for us yet and risk demoralizing him right away if he were to miss?We should definately have brought him on for the last 10 minutes even if it was just to take a penalty.

Thats one way to look at it, but that doesn't take away it was a game at Wembley against a detestable derby rival.It was a friendly so it wouldnt have mattered one bit if he had missed
Some fantastic angles you’re developing there. Next level.I get the feeling this is one of those where it will take weeks for him to get a start and the whole forum will be baffled. Excuses will be made like "Ten Hag is trying to increase his fitness in training" as if the rest of the Euro/Copa players didn't come back at the same time as him, and somehow they were ok to play today. These will be the same people who defended Ten hag sitting Amad on the bench for months on end.
I agree fully. The chance where Amad crossed for Mount, I believe Josh will read that type of play and finish. Can see us playing 2 up top too at times.Can’t wait for that Amad Diallo Zirzkee linkup… gonna be amazing watching these 2 together for many years
I don't think he could be further from him.Although different positions, I get the Fellaini vibes.

Yep. DIfferent position, different set of qualities, different career, different everything basically - except for physical appearance.The Fellaini observation is a perfect example of a player being compared to another simply because he slightly looks a bit like him.

Similar hairYep. DIfferent position, different set of qualities, different career, different everything basically - except for physical appearance.
Or maybe one of those making the comparison can finally point out in what other way they're similar - but so far I have only seen that comment (a few times) without any explanation.
Zirkzee's Dutch 'ee' actually indicates an English 'ay' sound, but otherwise, you're spot on!Similar hair
Similar skin colour
Both tall
Both from the same part of the world
Both names end in an 'ee' sound
Both played for Man Utd
... the similarities are endless
How are they not exactly the same?
In fact, has anyone ever seen Zirkzee and Fellaini in the same place at the same time?
Yeah, the comparison is a bit ridiculous to be honest.Yep. DIfferent position, different set of qualities, different career, different everything basically - except for physical appearance.

Other than scoring goals, the one thing this lad brings more than Hojlund is that he's a bit of an assist monster. That part may prove that to be even more critical than before if we can actually get one of our other attackers to start scoring consistently.
He had 6 assists in 57 Serie A appearances. It’s not awful, but calling him a monster might be stretching it.
He assisted 7 and scored 13 in 3,693 minutes which is around 41 games and his combined 20 G&A means a goal or assist every other game.
He played the minutes equivalent of 30 games last year in which he got 11 goals and 5 assists in the league so 16 in 30 which shows his output is on a steady upward curve.
He may not work out the in the PL as many better players have found that the physicality and speed is quite different but his dribbling and through balls are brilliant and he drops quite deep meaning he will usually be the pass before the assist, looking at his FBREF profile you will see as well he is someone that wins the ball back a lot high up the pitch with a good retention and passing ability.
When are they gonna start selling those wigs againThe Fellaini observation is a perfect example of a player being compared to another simply because he slightly looks a bit like him.
So it's pronounced Zirkzay?Zirkzee's Dutch 'ee' actually indicates an English 'ay' sound, but otherwise, you're spot on!

everyone knows two wrongs make a right.First part is not true. Second part is wrong as well..
I think we'll soon find it's pronounced 'irksome' and everyone will feel that's just right.everyone knows two wrongs make a right.
To close to Cersei Baratheon, do not wantSo it's pronounced Zirkzay?
Apparently he’s been out injured and has now got back to full fitness - but hasn’t had any match action - as per ETH’s comments so we don’t have any striker right now. It’s a pre requisite to be part of our squads it seems. Shame as I thought we’d get to see our only new attacker in action today.Is he injured?
