Drama queen - we're having a shaky season, it happens.Only in name. Our actual performance doesn’t match the club’s reputation, we’re a fecking mess.

I think a huge part of that is us defending / pressing as a team. There are times he does it but doesnt have the help which is annoying. Ive seen that before where players come in, are enthusiastic, but then the worry is when he sees others not doing it, he drops of doing it where it matters, and a few annoying things creep in, like he stops making the runs of the ball, etc.Indeed. That was his territory.
This goes back to something that I replied to earlier, and I think there is a dilemma. Do we want him to play like Wayne Rooney (spending his energy so much at pressing hard that he's out of it by 70-75 minutes) or do we want to see him eventually grow into someone like Harry Kane or Robert Lewandowski (who know how and when to preserve energy in order to last the full 90 minutes)? I know Hojlund works really hard, but this is where someone somewhere must find a way to teach him how to preserve energy in order to last the full 90.
Our Shaky season has lasted a decade. At what point does what we are currently seeing just be the norm?Drama queen - we're having a shaky season, it happens.
Utd have done better in the last decade than the vast majority of football clubs. We should have done better given our resources - but the crying on here for the odd top 6 season is boring. We remain a top destination and a club people want to play for.Our Shaky season has lasted a decade. At what point does what we are currently seeing just be the norm?
To that effect I'm interested to see how Amad would work with him.He looks someone we should be planning around, he's a great age and looks like with service he could hit big numbers.
Yeah, it's a right shame football matches have to last for 90 minutes.20 minute FC
I saw that too. It was obviously because he'd caught the eye of someone he knew from his former club. Hell of a leap to decide that this shows a better attitude than his team mates.Before the game, noticed he was one of the only players with a big smile on his face. His attitude seems levels above clowns in this squad a decade older than him and deserves so much better than what he's had to deal with here.
He's playing for the club he supports, we should be signing players for reasons like this, and not because they want a huge pay packet.Before the game, noticed he was one of the only players with a big smile on his face.

I'm not saying that was solely the reason, obviously his performance and work rate that followed showed that. Was just pointing it out.I saw that too.

OK, fair enough. He does seem to have a great attitude. His post match interview was impressive too.I'm not saying that was solely the reason, obviously his performance and work rate that followed showed that. Was just pointing it out.

I thought Ruud.I have high hopes for Rasmus... looks like a proper striker for United. Don't know who he reminds me of...maybe Andy Cole.
How can he reach 20 if he can't net in the league?20 goal striker already at 20, potential to be 35+ goal striker in a few years.
20 might be a stretch and seems unlikely but he already has 5 in the champions league and we don't know if we're going to play in the Europa League. Obviously needs to start scoring more goals in the league though.How can he reach 20 if he can't net in the league?
I think it would be a better combo than with Antony who keeps the ball way too long and as a result slows down the progression forward.To that effect I'm interested to see how Amad would work with him.
Really should have had a goal and an assist today - team looks so low on confidence and bereft of ideasHave to say I'm very worried that he didn't score today. You would be expecting the striker of our club to be using a game such as today's to boost their numbers.
IDK if I had the same feed as everyone else but the announcer just went straight to a hamstring tear. It could easily just be a cramp or something. You typically don't see people continuing to play and walking off without a limp when they've torn a hammy.Done his hammy?
