What was once arguably his biggest attribute has completely disappeared. His finishing has been outright atrocious since Copenhagen last season. Sitter after sitter missed. What the feck has happened to him.
His confidence is shot and that affects you the most in front of goal. His overall level has been wank this season and if he doesn’t score his I don’t give a crap attitude stands out so muchWhat was once arguably his biggest attribute has completely disappeared.

Half a season? He's never really been good enough for United to be a starter as a striker. He hardly developed since he joined us. It's much worse than a patch.There is nothing curious about it. He is just in a rough patch.
Nah, he’s right. Top of the table is just a curse if you use it to mask your weaknesses.We're 3 points clear at the top for the first time in almost a decade.
Please, no complaints tonight.

I think Gary was being generous there. Looked to me like he pulled it when he was chasing down the defender.To be fair, he did apparently injure himself while taking the shot. But yeah, he's way off form. Still believe he's a great footballer who's performing poorly at the moment. Wasn't that bad today, though, in my opinion.
It’s good to be where we are, but everyone will be rightly furious if any complacency was to be shown here and our form suddenly dropped off.Bet you're wild at parties.
Been a long rough patch..There is nothing curious about it. He is just in a rough patch.
But his finishing was always good prior to this season. Him not being United quality(nailed on starter that is) is a debate but his ability to finish was never in doubt before this seasonHalf a season?

It’s not a complaint it’s an observation that our number 9 seems to have completely lost his composure in front of goal. The only reason for the thread is because he used to be so cold one on one. He’s been atrocious at them for 6 months now.We're 3 points clear at the top for the first time in almost a decade.

Yes.Been a long rough patch..
Cavani missed a big chance as wellI don’t think he’s a centre forward like Cavani. You give that chance at the end to Cavani and he buries it for 2-0.
Hes better as a wide forward for me.
I don't know where's this idea coming from that Cavani is some super-clinical, Van Nistelrooyesque predator. He's been PROLIFIC throughout his career, sure, but he was always considered a quite wasteful striker. I mean, that 6-1 at Barcelona isn't primarly remembered for his contributions but he could have put that tie to bed multiple times that night.I don’t think he’s a centre forward like Cavani. You give that chance at the end to Cavani and he buries it for 2-0.

Tbh, I dont think I would've felt overly confident had Cavani been in the same situation. I just dont think our forwards are on-it this season for whatever reason.I don’t think he’s a centre forward like Cavani. You give that chance at the end to Cavani and he buries it for 2-0.

It always looks like everything needs to be set up in an absolutely perfect way before he takes the shot. Just sluggish at times.Got the yips in front of goal.
Seems to constantly take an extra uneeded touch
He was scoring more goals than expected basing on chances, one of the best in the League anyway for a few seasons. Last year he was 1st or 2nd (him and Greenwood).I think it's a bit of a myth that he was ever a great finisher. Due to his calm (relaxed) style and body language, he looks extremely composed in front of goal, doesn't smash the ball, always attempts to finesse it in, so when they go in it looks classy as feck and he looks like a great finisher.
Most of the best finishers though, the goals won't always look pretty but they find the back of the net consistently. That's never been the case with Tony.
