Boo Boy Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Love it that most Man Utd fans have not cottoned on to the fact that Sir Jim is the Manc Mike Ashley (C) Boo Boy.

Froggy Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 20 hours ago, KaKa said: He seems the sort that needs a run of games and to be relied upon as the main man, which will help settle him down as far as the snatching at chances goes. His finishing and goal record at Benfica was too good to be written off completely. He was putting away the types of chances we've seen him spurn so often at Liverpool. Don't think being in and out of the team so often helps. Going to quote this in here so I don't derail the Isak thread. This is a genuine question KaKa, so try and answer honestly. You're unwilling to write off Nunez and have belief he's going to get it right, yet you are very critical of Hojlund and you're willing to write him off completely. This is despite Hojlund having a better goals to games ratio at us than Nunez does at Liverpool despite being in and out of a much worse side. He has much less clear cut chances and way less service at us than Nunez does at Liverpool. Most importantly Hojlund is nearly four years younger. What gives?

Froggy Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Hey guys I'm just asking a question. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieDazzler Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Like Isak at Dortmund, Hojlund needs to go and have a few seasons somewhere lower pressure than Manchester United. He’s got the attributes too be top class but in desperation to get the next big thing lots of these youngsters aren’t being able to finish their footballing apprenticeship if that makes sense. Enzo at Chelsea similar situation imo, careers will suffer from being chucked in too soon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Froggy Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Also @KaKa you keep sharing loads of fbref references when talking about players, including Hojlund. You've also taken issue with me saying Elanga isn't good enough, and have referenced this every time he's got an assist this season. There's "not good enough" Elanga etc. fbref seems to be your go to, so thoughts on this? Makes for pretty grim reading no? While trying to justify a potential £50m fee for Elanga, you also said that Elanga at the age of 21, in his first ever season as a first team player in the Premier League finished with 5 goals and 9 assists. Hojlund at the age of 20, in his first ever season as a first team player in the Premier League finished with 10 goals and 2 assists, despite playing 6 games less. Thoughts on this also? **please note, responses like "good grief" will not be accepted** Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nine Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 (edited) To be fair those stats are pretty indicative of a successful winger in the counter heavy system that Forest play, you shouldnt expect it to look much different than that.

He has much less clear cut chances and way less service at us than Nunez does at Liverpool. Most importantly Hojlund is nearly four years younger. What gives? Where have I said I believe Nunez is going to get it right? This is not the discussion that was being had. Nunez has already showed at Benfica what he can do as the main man. He still had his bozo moments but played major minutes week in and week out regardless. He ended up with 26 goals and 4 assists in 28 league games, and 6 goals in 10 games in the Champions League. He didn't look as skittish there because they just kept playing him regardless. That is what I said. The inconsistent playing time and lack of confidence in him is bringing out the worst in him IMO. As for Hojlund being written off completely. I'm pretty sure I haven't said that either. However, I cannot see him turning it around at Man Utd. You've put him in a terrible situation. Hojlund prior to joining you had never been the starting striker for his team in an even half decent league. He has the raw physical attributes and potential, but should not have been thrown straight in at Man Utd. I think that has set him back big time, and he will need to go elsewhere to rebuild his confidence, Man Utd has been terrible for him, as they have been for plenty young players they have failed to nurture.
