Amazing having someone upfront who can lay it off most times
good hold up play

Watching Weghort will give some clues as to what a striker like Kane would do for our team in many games. Kane is no faster than this guy.What I hadn't appreciated from my diligent youtube research was just how achingly slow he is. It's a particular problem because the team as a whole lacks pace.
That little flicked through ball to him in the first half was a rude awakening - even a medium paced striker is through one on one.
Just reinforces that this season is transitional. Next season we go with Kane or Osimhen in a game like that and win it by half time.
That's not gonna happen. When was the last time he was considered fully fit?I anticipate this guy will mostly be bench performances when Martial actually gets physically fit
Surely you’re not comparing Kane to Weghort as to what they contribute?Watching Weghort will give some clues as to what a striker like Kane would do for our team in many games. Kane is no faster than this guy.
He’s the same size as Haaland.Never expected him to be quick or mobile anyway, he’s a 6 foot 6 striker. He did okay, hasn’t been with the team long. Least it gives us another option.
One inch taller but also Haaland is a literal freak of nature, unfair to compare anyone to him.He’s the same size as Haaland.
Yeah but as above Haaland is a freak. There are very few strikers of that size in football history that will be quick and mobile.He’s the same size as Haaland.
Unfortunately Tony being made of Weetabix (Mckola quote) forced Erik's hand to start him. He probably wasn't ready to start a game but will have his momentWout should be what you bring on after a shite opponent equalises in the 90th minute. Not the guy you start for United.
though he did get feck all service.
All that from 60minutes united career.It’s inevitable that he wouldn’t live up to the frankly misguided sky high expectation people put on him.
He’s a back up option, who might or might not start a lot, depending on Martial’s fitness record. And he won't be retained in the summer.
He’s 30 year old striker who failed at Burnley and plied his trade just this year in the Turkish league, if you expect him to come in and start scoring 1 in 2 or more as starting Utd striker then more fools you.All that from 60minutes united career.
Point is, it's way too early to judge. If anything caftards should know not to write players off too early... Esp after 60+ minutesHe’s 30 year old striker who failed at Burnley and plied his trade just this year in the Turkish league, if you expect him to come in and start scoring 1 in 2 or more as starting Utd striker then more fools you.
If he has the same impact as Ighalo, that’s a successful loan.
I'm surprised he wasn't written off after 15 mins TBH!Point is, it's way too early to judge. If anything caftards should know not to write players off too early... Esp after 60+ minutes
Obviously Felix is a better player. But with weghorst or felix, we aren't doing more than just top 4 this year.He's just not very good.
I think @Rozay is right and we should have paid up for Felix. He'd be an upgrade on Martial and would be great with Rashford too.
Jose only needed 10 minutesAll that from 60minutes united career.
His passing wasn't awful?While his passing was quite awful and he was probably the slowest player on the pitch he is a presence up top, something that helps our game. I do not see how he can be a starter longterm, but he surely will improve and help us out this season.
It's true though. I'm happy with the signing and don't doubt he can contribute but he was never anything more than an extra body until the summer to give us a different option.All that from 60minutes united career.
kDB?Jose only needed 10 minutes
Indeed, tad soon to be writing him off. Let's give him a chance first.Bear in mind he trained all of a day, with a brand new team and jumping back to the Prem from the Turkish League - he showed he can be an asset in possession higher up the pitch and pressing the opposition.
It showed last nightI heard on a podcast that he’s not good in the air as he was tall as a young kid so never had to work on jumping as he towered over the other kids.
This was a particular highlight of his performance, just being in that poacher position, which Martial usually isn't. Bruno had all the time in the world to lash it in whilst Weghorst occupied 2 defenders. If he keeps making near post runs and being in a position that disrupts the defence, I don't care if he scores zero goals.He was fine.
- Helped hold up the ball and link up play in the 1st half
- Harried and hastled the palace keeper and defenders causing inaccurate passes/clearances
- Dragged 2 (or 3?) defenders for the Bruno goal, leaving Bruno all but free from the penalty spot
- Helped the defense in the 2nd half when we were under pressure. He seems smart too (game IQ), there was a phase where Palace were crossing the ball at a corner/set piece, it got cleared and was unclear if we were gonna get the ball or not. He stayed on the edge of our box and waited to see the outcome before leaving his defensive duties. Most other strikers would jog on to the halfway line and leave us 1 man short of clearing crosses.
Didn't get the ball in the 2nd half but understandable cause we decided to stop playing football in the 2nd half for some reason.
