27th center back partnership of the season. Also for a club that prides itself on pace, we have literally fuck all in midfield or central defense.

What I would give for 9 Ji Sung Parks and one Bruno Fernandes. Bruno Fernandes stats in the prem: 54 goals 40 assists. Only Mo Salah has more since his debut. With Guardiola, he'd win PoTY. He's had to work with some real shit managers. |

He moans a lot so sell the cunt etc Yeah ludicrous stuff. Its one thing to lament him as "captain". But to ask to sell him shows you really don't know much about football. The man is also never ever injured. Always there to play each game. |

Rasmus now has 14 goals, which is probably 3 more than decent balls he’s had played into him in the entire season.

Saw this on Twitter. If he were to end up with 18 goals this season it would be a minor miracle.
Manchester United aren't utilising Rasmus Hojlund's shooting prowess Rasmus Hojlund has taken 0 or 1 shots in 10 out of 20 league starts this season. He has taken 1.6 shots per 90 on an average.
When he was in the Serie A he was taking 2.6 shots per 90 and his conversion rate was in the top tier range (1 goal in every 6 shots) along with Victor Osimhen. I had cited this as one of his big strengths in the article I wrote about him.
And what's his conversion rate this year? 7 goals in 31 shots which is less than 1 goal in every 5 shots. It's even better than his Serie A season. He's generated a xGOT of 8.1 from an xG of 6.7 which implies that he has added that much shooting value through his shot technique and placement. He's feeding on scraps in terms of chances but making more of them. A 21% overperformance on the xG created for him.
His shot on target % of 52% puts him in the 93rd percentile in the Premier League. All his other quality metrics like npxG/shot also read well.
What all of this says is that Hojlund is shooting well with what he has been given. The issue is that he hasn't been given much at all. The %s & quality metrics are fine. The volume is the problem. The poor final 3rd dynamics and chance creation patterns of the current tactic are simply not getting arguably its best finisher in positions to take more shots. I had previously spoken about how we're not utilsing Hojlund's other big trait (movement) and this post is about his second best trait of shooting being underutilized. Putting both together, it simply boils down to another player whose strengths haven't been utilized in any logical way all season.
Game model issue. Not player issue.

For a team that struggles to create chances for its striker he’s settled in brilliantly. He’d have been entitled to have a slow season even if we were creating a bunch for him. |

We had the same problem under Ole. He couldn't get much use out of either Lukaku or Ronaldo and our best football was when we didn't have a target man and played mostly on the counter.
Same in Erik's first season. Whenever we tried to play with a target man e.g. Ronaldo, Wout they struggled to score goals. And most of our goals came from the counter with Rashford particularly effective.
This season Rashford's effectiveness has been blunted with Hojlund's arrival (although his crappy attitude hasn't helped) and we aren't getting the most out of Hojlund who's been starved of good service.
Ole you can understand only knowing how to play on the counter. But Erik is supposed to be tactically competent so its very worrying he hasn't got the tactics right this season and our goals total is a testatement to that.

I think people over obsess on how much he whines and throws himself on the pitch at the slightest touch which is a fair complaint, Ronaldo did the same shit when he first got into the team and people complained about it then too. I hate how much he whines because he's the Captain of this team and it should be others who do that while he is the voice of reason to the Ref. He is one of the best in the world at his position and he proves time and time again with his play. Leadership has a lot of work but he tries to get on the ball and make something happen more than just about anyone on this team. The players around him like Rashford, Antony, and whomever is paired with Mainoo are hacks |
