Generates immense power in his shots.Ta, decent goal. RVP style.
Why did they target him?
All because he shushed them?
Suppose most are going to give him the Weghorst defence. Tried hard, held the ball and ignore that he missed big chances.
You may think I'm being harsh but the expectation of a United #9 should warrant that.
Agree, nowhere near good enough. Don't want to sound harsh but he's got big expectations. Has to start scoring.6 games without goal in PL. That is not a good start.
Fans still look at his performances like you look at some 17y old academy kid who got his first chance in first team. "Nearly scored", "was unlucky" and "tried hard".Agree, nowhere near good enough. Don't want to sound harsh but he's got big expectations. Has to start scoring.
A good team player who's getting practically no service.
Suppose most are going to give him the Weghorst defence. Tried hard, held the ball and ignore that he missed big chances. For me he has to step up and start scoring very soon in the Premier League.
You may think I'm being harsh but the expectation of a starting United #9 should warrant that.
Are we ignoring the goals he's scored in the champions league?
The earlier one, it can't be a missed chance if you can't get on the end of the cross.
Today Rashford (in some way) created 3 chances for him. Two which gk saved and one when he was short for tap in.A good team player who's getting practically no service.

You can but you need to have a nose for the goal. Pippo built a career on goals like thst. Last few years Rashford and Martial were criticized (with the reason) about not being on the right spot in penalty area.Outside the first twenty minutes (which I missed), he missed one big chance, and I found that to be encouraging for the position he took up and the quick reactions to first control a deflected shot and then rearrange his feet and get a shot away. Good save.
The earlier one, it can't be a missed chance if you can't get on the end of the cross. The later one was no longer a golden opportunity by the time it reached Hojlund due to the angle of the pass to him.
I think the skim past the post was harsh on him, was quick and he threw himself at it. Salah was more relaxed in one missed earlier today.In fairness, he had 3 very, very good chances today
For everything that’s wrong with this club, the fans are not from the worst.

That's not a good enough defence for me, there's no reason why he shouldn't have made contact, it almost seemed like he dived too early and there's got to be some accountability surely.
The same way if someone miss-kicks a ball from 5 yards out you surely still consider that a missed chance rather than ignoring that the incident even happened.

He was very close to scoring of that shot from Rashford he intercepted. But he is not getting any service from Bruno, which has been shown with stats previously.
Taking Højlund off when he put Eriksen on was beyond daft, given how good those two sync up on the national team.
People obviously have different takes on these things. I must say, though, I find this an amazing comparison.So far he's a stronger, quicker Weghorst. He is the most useful option we have up front at the moment but some are going overboard with the hype. I don't see a clinical striker here.
You're kidding, right? Right?So far he's a stronger, quicker Weghorst. He is the most useful option we have up front at the moment but some are going overboard with the hype. I don't see a clinical striker here.
A fast Weghorst would probably be a very decent forward.So far he's a stronger, quicker Weghorst. He is the most useful option we have up front at the moment but some are going overboard with the hype. I don't see a clinical striker here.
He's barely had any decent service. He will be absolutely fineSo far he's a stronger, quicker Weghorst. He is the most useful option we have up front at the moment but some are going overboard with the hype. I don't see a clinical striker here.

The other one was him needing to trap a shot from Rashford (not a pass) and chip the keeper who had already closed in the space. He almost did it.
Micro criticising him to this degree is no good.
And that's because...?He should be coming off the bench in the PL.
