He could score 300 goals for us and I'd still not want to see that fecking leg guitar thing again...Happy for his goal but he needs to work on his celebrations man

Totally! Of all the many things I could complain about, this is not one. Given the dire situation of low morale, poor service, new to the team, dysfunction everywhere, inexperience and a fairly hefty fee, he's been pretty good.Why would anyone hate Hojland??
Bizarre thread title
Some people are really juvenile and throw the word hater at anyone who is critical of a player they likeWhy would anyone hate Hojland??

I don't know if you regularly follow the pattern, there will be section of fan base who will post only negative about certain players and goes into hiding when that player plays well.Some people are really juvenile and throw the word hater at anyone who is critical of a player they like
It is called criticism. You are a scout. Read a little what people write about Rashford, Shaw, Casemiro, Onana or even Bruno. Now, that is hate.I don't know if you regularly follow the pattern, there will be section of fan base who will post only negative about certain players and goes into hiding when that player plays well.
Thanks for reminding me I'm scout. I read posts, that's why I said what I said.It is called criticism. You are a scout. Read a little what people write about Rashford, Shaw, Casemiro, Onana or even Bruno. Now, that is hate.
In two Hojlund's threads there is no a single post where he is called names (poor man's Lukaku is the worst what i read) or where people want him sold.

If your only contribution is criticism and then goes to hiding when he plays well and then be a loud mouth when his form dips, then it's not criticism. It's a post motivated by dislike or hatred towards the player.
If you are level headed poster who has good intention when you criticise player, then you should also praise him when he does well. It's that simple.
Looks promising
He reminds me a little on Alen Boksic. Big, strong but yet extremely mobile and pacey. I hope he will have much better luck with injuries than Alen.
Hardly a hatred from my side.This goal was top class goal. Something what you expect from Man Utd striker. Top move that.
Who said you hate him?Hardly a hatred from my side.
The media (Politiken and DR) thought he was one of the best against Sweden? (I didn't watch the game yesterday and haven't looked at any reactions to it)Apprently the Danish Media has aswell.

To simply post a link is pretty low effort. To post one that doesn't even support your original point is even worse.
What madness is this? Who makes a grading system where 10 is the second highest rating?!To simply post a link is pretty low effort. To post one that doesn't even support your original point is even worse.
For those not wanting to click on the link: The link references two ratings: bold.dk and Tipsbladet. One is fairly critical (4/10), the other is 3/5 I think and fairly positive.
Then the two I saw the other day: Politiken and DR. Politiken rated him the same as Eriksen (10, the second highest grade) and DR rated him one grade below that. Which is also positive. But yet, let's keep shitting on our own players any chance we get.
Why the smilies? Are they crappy papers?Bold and Tipsbladet......
Bold.dk is just a random footie website. Tipsbladet used to be an actual publication that was fairly well regarded, but it published it's last print issue this year.Why the smilies? Are they crappy papers?
OP was asking for players that had done it successfully. I don't think that applies to Andy Carroll.Andy Carroll lead Liverpool's line around 21/22. Probably not a good comparison, but a facht is a facht.
Edit: before people bombard me, I think Hojlund's been fine last year and I'm impressed with his potential. I'm just answering OPs question.
I dont mean to be ruud..Sorry but this is rubbish and could be same used for Rashford looking better for Arsenal.I don't think it's a case of "what strikers led the line at 21?" Because that indicates that Hojlund can't do that but that's ok because others couldn't.
I don't think this is the case. I think he is already capable of leading the line, and that if he played in the current Arsenal, City, Liverpool, even Newcastle or Villa teams, he'd be looking more obviously top class.
The real question is "what strikers can lead the line with no supply from the team?" And the answer is none.
Bold.dk's writers are just random blokes. The reason that site blew up was mostly about having a comment section and a forum, back when that wasnt a thing the main media sites had.Why the smilies? Are they crappy papers?
Thats not a Højlund issue. Thats a Ten Hag having no fecking clue how to use his players issue.I dont mean to be ruud..Sorry but this is rubbish and could be same used for Rashford looking better for Arsenal.
Arsenal have predominantly used a False 9 like Havertz or even G jesus who is a bit more creative than Hojlund but arguably at their peak Havertz was playing as the CF.
Havertz at United playing centrally inbetween two inverted forwards like Rashford, Garnacho, amad and others would be the best tactic we have because we would basically be copying Arsenals tactics of 2 IF with one false 9.
Thats why Ten Hag stopped picking Hojlund and started to use Bruno Fernandes as a false 9 towards the end of the season.
If Sancho didn't get in to a brawl then he would have been used as a false 9 and United would have had a better season than they did because of more fluidity for inverted forwards playing with a False 9.
Instead the inverted forwards got picked with a poacher or a channel running ST and suddenly had to create for Hojlund - ie why everyone started complaining about the lack of service to Hojlund.
Yet no one saw the lack of service Rashford & co received from Hojlund in comparison to Martial who was our 2nd ST last year: another forward that plays from deep almost like a false 9.
That’s a hell of an opening paragraph…I dont mean to be ruud..Sorry but this is rubbish and could be same used for Rashford looking better for Arsenal.

I think it's become fairly obvious to all of us that he isn't a target man striker, and to be totally honest, Man Utd should never be aiming to play a system that relies on a player like that.Thats not a Højlund issue. Thats a Ten Hag having no fecking clue how to use his players issue.
Højlund can be quite creative and has a decent dribble when he is running at defenders. Ten Hag used him with back to goal and fighting CBs which was never his strong suit.
Thats also why when he came of the bench in the last matches and was actually playing with front to goal he was much better.
Its a shame that he has to basically start from scratch again because of Ten Hag not understanding a player he bought.
And yes Rashford would look better for Arsenal.
Yeah it's the same grades used in the Danish school system. It's really weird. Basically we had a system with 10 grades that were pretty random (0, 03, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13) where the top grade was meant to be very rare and it didn't translate well to seven grade systems like the American one, so the brainiacs came up with a seven grade system matching the American one, but with random numbers: -3, 00, 02, 4, 7, 10, 12.What madness is this? Who makes a grading system where 10 is the second highest rating?!
If you buy a striker and want to play a false 9 formation then really you need to be sacked for incompetence.I dont mean to be ruud..Sorry but this is rubbish and could be same used for Rashford looking better for Arsenal.

jaysusYeah it's the same grades used in the Danish school system. It's really weird.

I mean the new numbers obviously aren't entirely random. I'm pretty sure they were intended to roughly line up with the old system, so you could compare averages across old and new (at least in the sense of what's good, bad and average). But yeah, the system is pretty weird, but so are a lot of others. In the US they define a GPA based on letters - that has always confused me.Yeah it's the same grades used in the Danish school system. It's really weird.

Yes that's kinda what they tried to do, but it doesn't really make sense. Like, as soon as you need to go "what was that on the old scale?" you might as well have decided that 1-7 or 0-6 was a bit easier to keep track of.I mean the new numbers obviously aren't entirely random.

True, but they obviously wanted different distances between grades, so it impacts a GPA differently (for example, the gap from 7-10 is bigger than 10-12, obviously). But anyone who's been graded on the old scale is way beyond needing their grades for anything now, so the comparison problem is pretty much gone.Yes that's kinda what they tried to do, but it doesn't really make sense.
