Imagine a world where our forwards don't just cut in and shoot all the time but try to find this fella in the penalty box.

You've got it all wrong, it's because of that Luckhurst article the other day that said his team mates thought he was shit and that's why they aren't passing to him.I didn't like his celebration today but I am not sure, what exactly is behind it. The Shushh-thingy seems a little odd, not like he had the greatest of seasons or anything. I didn't expect him to have but I am a bit worried that he thinks the odd conter goal to make it 9 in a season is going to rectify something. The kid should just continue to work hard and listen to his coaches. More than enough for him to learn.
He should be blanking it. Luckhurst's ramblings dont warrant a reply. He should care what his manager and team mates think, everything beyond that is just noise.You've got it all wrong, it's because of that Luckhurst article the other day that said his team mates thought he was shit and that's why they aren't passing to him.

Yeah, you're not wrong. I just think theres a tidal wave of scrutiny and comment around players these days. I wouldn't be critical of them reacting to it but I'd be trying to create a bit of an island from it where they're focused on what i want them focused on to the exclusion of all else nearly. Its very much perfect scenario nitpickingHe should in a perfect world but it doesn't mean much and if it gives him some fire or a fun bit of release, more power to him. It's petty but footballers finding that passion to 'answer' to critics is not exactly a new thing and countless best players in the world have done it and will continue too. I'm generalising of course but footballers are wired differently and don't have the sit-at-home-on-the-couch rationality that we may have when writing posts on a forum.
If it was a 'response' to Luckhurst then I don't mind a celebration like this at all because thearticlehit piece can be toxic. The media have had their fun with Utd the past 11 years and rightly so because we've been a shambles but that doesn't mean you take every jab on the chin. Controlling the narrative is part and parcel of the game unfortunately and in the absence of Fergie, who was a master of this, I wouldn't just say 'keep your head down'. Especially for a player like Hojlund, who despite his inconsistencies has shown the right work ethic and attitude.
I know it's off tangent but ETH not calling out poor VAR calls, decisions etc last and this year may have cost us in ways we don't know. He's been 'better' recently but it's too little, too late. Having a chip on your shoulder is not a bad thing when channelled right.
I’m pretty sure he was looking at the away fans and shushing them, but could be wrong.I didn't like his celebration today but I am not sure, what exactly is behind it.

Replying to noise by putting the ball in the net shows strength imo. Hopefully the ramblings of more mad men prove as the fuel he needs to continue his progression in front of goal.He should be blanking it. Luckhurst's ramblings dont warrant a reply.

That’s exactly what he needs to do more - take responsibility. Enough to this scrappy wrestling matches with defenders. At this club you have to show individual class.

It was directed at the away fans. Not everything is a subliminal message, it was a response to them chatting shite for the whole game I’m sure.I didn't like his celebration today but I am not sure, what exactly is behind it.

Oh, like Hojlund in all the other games?He tired them out for over 80 minutes.
Would’ve been a world class save as he saw it very late.Credit for the goal even if the keeper should have saved it.
Lucky? He had two or three very well taken goals ruled out by VAR in the first games and hasn’t had anything to work with since. How’s that lucky?He overperformed this season to what I expected. Honestly he seems very good at simply scoring goals. However, I do believe he's the guy who has been on the extreme lucky side so I want to see him doing that again next season.
So no credit for the goal thenCredit for the goal even if the keeper should have saved it.

I’ll give him access to this threadReplying to noise by putting the ball in the net shows strength imo. Hopefully the ramblings of more mad men prove as the fuel he needs to continue his progression in front of goal.
Didn't know about that article. Then I can somewhat understand it, even though I'd prefer him and the club finding ways to "shield" him from such stuff. Obviously, if it fires him on, then power to the people but lets be honest, good chances that he will encounter other dry periods. If criticism from the media gets to him, it is going to be a problem for him mostly.You've got it all wrong, it's because of that Luckhurst article the other day that said his team mates thought he was shit and that's why they aren't passing to him.
Yeah makes sense.He should in a perfect world but it doesn't mean much and if it gives him some fire or a fun bit of release, more power to him.

Assuming there was some sort of chant that they did to justify it.

Ruled out goals have no impact whatsoever on the stats I mentioned. I am talking about his conversion rate (simplified term as this is in reference to accumulated xG) which is on the extreme positive end and players rarely keep this form running. Haaland didn't keep his conversion rate going in his second season for example.Lucky? He had two or three very well taken goals ruled out by VAR in the first games and hasn’t had anything to work with since. How’s that lucky?
Oh, I see. I agree with that of course. But looking at his finishing quality I’m sure his conversion rate will be very good the coming seasonsRuled out goals have no impact whatsoever on the stats I mentioned.
