No pressure.
Yea we desperately need a striker up top rather than Rashford who is way better coming off the left.No pressure.
was thinking this, if our attack in the next game or two is similar without him, were basically relying on him to be as clinical as haalandNo pressure.
I wouldn't actually be too focused on if he starts scoring straight away. Even without goals if you replace Rashford with him instantly the team has a tall, powerful, athletic striker up top who can press and (hopefully) occupy opposition centre backs. As it stands with rashford the opposition defender only has to worry about him running behind as his hold up play, link up play, heading, battling defenders is pretty poor in comparison to other strikers. So in that sense even without scoring Rasmus will be a huge upgrade. Hopefully he also finishes chances but either way I think he will quickly become important to the team.was thinking this, if our attack in the next game or two is similar without him, were basically relying on him to be as clinical as haaland
His one-v-one shooting seems a bit ropey. Hopefully training under McCarthy and alongside Rashford will help him develop that.I found this video of all of his shots last season. His ability to shoot from almost every angle is impressive and he does that with decent accuracy too. I'm excited to see how he evolves but he looks like a great prospect.
If his movement, build up play and work rate end up anything like Cavani, we'll have a hell of a player.Loving his near post and far post runs, though. Very reminiscent of Cavani.
Is Rashford really a great example of a 1v1 finisher? I think that's one of his weaknesses tbh.His one-v-one shooting seems a bit ropey. Hopefully training under McCarthy and alongside Rashford will help him develop that.

I don't know much about this lad but that's a tad scary.Can't wait for our danish Wout to play!
Rapid and a dangerous finisher they say. Bring it!
So he can see what not to do, yeah?His one-v-one shooting seems a bit ropey. Hopefully training under McCarthy and alongside Rashford will help him develop that.

Rashford does have the occasional golden patch to be fair, but yeah most of the time he's relying on quantity of goal-scoring opportunities rather than actually being a good finisher.So he can see what not to do, yeah?
I don’t think he’s even training with the first team yet! A good chance we’ll see Tony Marshall thoughAny chance of a surprise Hojlund cameo against Spurs?
Sign him up EtH pleaseOne of his younger brothers, Oscar Højlund, played his first full 90 minutes today and was one of the best players on the pitch and got an assist. He is a central midfielder.
Think IF he joins team training next week there is a chance of him making bench v ForestAny chance of a surprise Hojlund cameo against Spurs?
If he's in the squad we can't afford to not start himThink IF he joins team training next week there is a chance of him making bench v Forest
Yeah it's a shambles that only early season defeats seem to lead to those leeches suddenly releasing money again but there you goGet Rasmus in the team, the new midfielder ETH is so clearly pining for in, Rashford back out on the wing, and we'll be a different team, just a shame we have to lose ground first to get there.
