I think its his finishing and hold up play that he does brilliantly.

As for link up play and bringin in other teammates im not sure.

I kind of think of him as a suped up Balotelli. Dont know if thats right or not.

If his finishing was brilliant we'd be top of the league!

Been a poor finisher for last few months.

He's ten times the player Mario is.

Don't let his six in six games in France fool you.

Thats what im saying, hes a suped up 10x better version of mario.

 

[jackofalltrades]

Against Liverpool we had a free kick which I thought was more suitable for Pogba than Ibra. Quite far out where a powerful, bending, dipping shot is required. Who should be taking those free kicks ?

 

[sportsczy]

His movement isn't enough for a direct team. He did well with PSG because it was a possession team that held the ball on average 2/3 of each game. So he literally didn't need to move around much other than to make runs in the box. This isn't a possession team and Mourinho doesn't value it anyhow...

We'll see how he adapts because he needs to.

 

[Nytram Shakes]

i think what where starting to see is that we have signed a 35 years old, who while still has incredible talent, and is still going to deliver big performances and important goals simply isn't going to deliver week in week out.

this isn't a criticism, just think of it this way has their ever been a 35 year old striker who has been expected to play every minute of every premier league game and be the focal point of the attack for a club with title aspirations? not to mention it been his first year at the club and has spent the last few years playing at a lower quality league.

at the rate Zlatan is going he is on course to hit 50 games this season that is stupid if you want to get the best out of a 35 years old!

 

[Tiber]

I remain underwhelmed, he has been 'fine' but I was told about 5 thousand times that this is the second coming of Cantona.

I mean Cantona is 50 now so what did you expect

 

[Wumminator]

For a player who is genuinely clearly immensely talented.

He misses some easy chances.

 

[pacifictheme]

Toiling. But then the whole team are.

 

[JoaquinJoaquin]

Misses too many chances at the moment. Really needs to start taking them as they are costing us now.

 

[Skills]

Safe to say this isn't really going to work.

Play Rashford or Martial upfront

 

[The White Pele]

Not doing enough at the moment to justify pushing Rashford/Martial to the wing

 

[UnofficialDevil]

Man I miss Ferdinand

 

[All 3 United]

He's finished at the highest level. Should be dropped and used as a sub, then shipped out at the end of the season.

 

[dannyrhinos89]

We've benched one drain in our team and replaced him with another drain in our team.

He offers nothing, play rashford or martial as striker ffs.

 

[Cheesy]

I'd be happy to give a younger, less experienced player more leeway, but for someone who's 35 it's concerning if he doesn't deliver. He's been brought in to have an RVP-esque impact for one or two seasons, so it's not good enough if he's going to have considerable periods of time where he's not performing. All players have dips in form and for now I'm hoping it's just that, but he seriously needs to improve soon to warrant a place in the team.

 

[Ash_G]

I agree he's been a bit average at time s but you can't blame him here, there's no support. We're basically playing 6121, there's no space to get in as by the time we get players forward Chelsea are ready for us.

 

[lem8sh]

He's a waste of space in fairness, cannot move.

 

[van Persie]

Another year is unlikely at this point, he started off well but done nothing since and if he doesn't score he doesn't add that much to team at least not yet

 

[AXVnee7]

That chance he had to make it 1-1 was a basically a tap in for someone like him. Criminal... he said following Liverpool he'd do better next time

 

[Rado_N]

How the hell can you blame him in this game? Agenda.

Well he should have scored for a start.

 

[m1y2]

I am sure we would win this under Van Gaal, solely because he would play Rashford up front..

 

[AXVnee7]

You mean the header? Not a easy chance at all.

For someone like Ibra it's an easy chance. It's a sitter simple as.

 

[Yagami]

I said at the start of the season he was very overrated so these performances don't surprise me in the slightest as they're standard Zlatan performances. At the start of the season, you had a lot of people claiming he was going to be RvP like propelling us to the title which shocked me because he's not a patch on Robin at his best at all. He may come out with a fancy trick or a nice goal every now and then, but, overall, not a patch.

 

[wr8_utd]

You mean the header? Not a easy chance at all.

Once he gets into position and his head to it, it's easy by his standards. He really should do better but alas, another big game and another big miss.

 

[Rado_N]

You mean the header? Not a easy chance at all.

Come on, it's appalling to not get that on target.

 

[lem8sh]

How easy must he be to defend against? Always in front of you, never ever threatens in behind.

 

[AndyJ1985]

He's far too wasteful.

 

[Sunny Jim]

For me he is a part of the problem now. He is a quality player but with him in the squad we are predictable and 1 dmiensional.

 

[Eddy_JukeZ]

Should not be here next season.

Too immobile for the Premier League.

 

[Raees]

Replaced one Rooney with another on the basis of this performance. He needs to be utilised sparingly away from home. If we are facing quality teams we need as many players with legs as possible, we can't afford passengers.

 

[Classical Mechanic]

He needs to come off. Put Rashford up front and Martial wide left. He is just too slow and needs five chances before he scores.

 

[shamans]

Sick on tired of him missing sitters.

At the moment Martial should start as center forward.

 

[SammyUnited_83]

Bang average and has missed 3 golden chances in 3 games.

Get Martial on.

 

[Adisa]

Fecking rotten at the moment. Offers zero off the ball. Worst part is. Jose won't even sub him.
Move Rashford inside and bring Martial on ffs.

 

[shamans]

For me he is a part of the problem now. He is a quality player but with him in the squad we are predictable and 1 dmiensional.

No it's not even that. He is just poor right now. Missing sitters has nothing to do with one dimensional play.

 

[#07]

Bang average and has missed 3 golden chances in 3 games.

Get Martial on.

Have to agree. You bring in a top striker to bury those chances.

 

[bosnian_red]

Kinda hoping Martial starts up front against City with Ibra on the bench. Get a front 3 of Martial, Rashford, Mkhitaryan and Mata in midfield next to Pogba and Herrera/Carrick. Ibra's been shite the past month and missing sitters

 

[coolredwine]

When has Ibra turned up against big teams?
