He has 5 goals and zero assists in 16 games. First choice Man Utd striker.
If that is good season then.......

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
If that is good season then.......
Ok mate
The stats don't tell the whole story in this case. If you have an eye for talent you could tell very early that he's going to be great.
Also, he's played the equivalent of 12 games if you count his minutes, had 2 goals disallowed and at one point the team didn't generate a single chance for him for more than 160 minutes in the league.
EDIT: He's tall, strong, pacey, getting into really good positions be arrive at the end of chances and he has surprisingly good technique for a striker. He also seems to be up for the occasion every time we play a big game and didn't look intimidated at all vs Arsenal or Bayern's defenders when we played them. He has all the tools to be a world class poacher and it seems like his mentality is great too.
We are talking here about his form, performances and impact this sesson, not his potential or talent.
Do you always talk about things with absolutely no context whatsoever?
What is context here exactly? That he is talented and has potential to be top no9 in the future? Yes, he is. But do we need to look at his every performance based on that?
Probably mate yeh.
He’s been the biggest disappointment of all.
Funny that his performances have tanked after getting that huge juicy contract extension.
Not related but you crack on with the slagging off mate. I'd recommend going for a beer.
He's been hampered by our woeful attacking play. Put him in a team that actually can attack properly on a consistent basis and you'd see much more from the lad.
Are we not allowed to criticise his abysmal form now?
With context ofcourse you are. You are essentially suggesting he's on the take.
The stats tell as much story as is needed. Strikers are rated based on how many goals they score. That's how it's always worked. That's their primary job.
If Haaland had 5 goals this season - and none in the league - no one on here would be coming to his defence saying "ah but he had a couple ruled out for being offside". We'd be laughing at his shit form.
It is what it is. Doesn't mean he wont keep improving and one day be a top striker, but right now he's not a £70m forward ready to lead the line for United. Not that it's his fault. Ten Hag's disastrous recruitment has put us in this situation
That isn’t what I’m suggesting at all.
Do you not agree that his form has hit rock bottom since signing that new contract?
I can fully accept drops in form, but I can’t remember the last time that Rashford looked and played as though he gave a shit.
It’s frustrating as feck as there is a truly great player there.
100% agree.
He is Man Utd first choice striker. Not his fault that we planned badly but it is reality. So he is as such rated by his impact on the pitch. For strikers goals and assists are basically everything.
And assists. It’s just as valuable as a goal
And yet Lukaku came to Utd in his prime and was worse than Hojland is now. I wouldn’t trade those players at all.
RedCafe and bringing out irrelevant, stupid examples to prove your point. Name a more iconic duo.
So if Haaland had 5 goals this season you would be laughing at him and this proves that Hojlund is shit and/or in shit form?
It's premature to write him off, but ignoring his weaknesses is equally as nearsighted. His inconsistent touch and poor passing are obvious weaknesses.
Really? I remember he actually scored in the league
Nah he hasn't. You're just saying that because he plays for us. If Arsenal had signed him for example I doubt you'd think the same.
If Arsenal had signed him he would be on at least 15 goals already, and the Caf would be crying that we let another hidden gem join a rival like Alvarez.
Lukaku scored 16 league goals and 27 in total in his first season. In what way is that worse than Hojlund?
Football is an entertainment and watching Lukaku is akin to having my balls rubbed with sandpaper. Fecking horrific footballer.
I don't mind that he's dropped, he's clearly more of a prospect and I think it's the right moment to give Martial a chance, or a kick in the ass.
No goals in the Premier League by December.
Definitely starting to worry.
Martial look so much more accomplished against Everton. Shame he can’t stay fit.
Think Hojland might be on of those strikers who doesn’t score many goals. Which is fine if he works hard for the team in other areas but he hardly had a touch against Galatasaray.
For £70m he needs to contribute something to the team. We can’t afford any passengers

He’s 20 years old leading the line for a team with a lot of issues, and he’s had some fitness hindrances. Be patient
. This is illegal move.
Newcastle 1:0 Man Utd
Gets worse ever appearance. 72m down the drain. Just not mobile enough to play for a top team.
Absolute nonsense.
Not looking good is it.
Just needs that 1 lucky goal to get going.

What does that even mean?
Conpared to the like of Isak or even Nunez he is static as hell.
Just like Mainoo, people here hype players up way too much early.
Whilst this isn’t true to anyone with eyes, I do think he’s too bulky and therefore slow off the mark. Not sure he won any headers either which I assumed he’d be quite good at.
Bad combination for a forward to both not be scoring goals and also not contributing in general play.
Still has what, twice as many goals on the season as rashford overall?
forlan vibes
Not gonna quite work out for him here. Move to Spain in a few years and destroy the league
I hope it does happen for him here. He came at a bad time…still have faith

Is he getting away with it a bit?
Lets be honest if he was playing for City or Pool he'd be getting hammered on here.
