But it was aggressive in positioning, and one where we can't weakly lose possession and gift a breakaway chance. And that's what he did, needlessly. Which as I've said doesn't make him culpable, but was shite play that started their move. Didn't say goal was his fault. Perhaps not the best example of him being wasteful in possession as it implies it’s his fault for the goal, fair enough if you weren’t actually saying that. Not defending him because most of his play in the final third is atrocious, ball retention, decision making. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had 4 players tackle him of which at the time he thought the ball hit a Benfica player in the arm. Without blaming him you are certainly throwing his name in the ring to be blamed. He'd 4 players behind him not tackling him until he turned into them instead of laying the ball off. That's schoolboy, the odds were never in his favour. Of course he's partly to blame, he stupidly lost possession. I know you're half cut and on a defensive crusade of the guy but surely to fuck you're not absolving him of all blame for their goal. Surely 😂 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GA1972 9,849 Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Just seen the goal back for the first time and fuck me If you’re defending this donkey who can’t take 2 steps without falling over his own feet for trying a Cruyff turn in the box into about 7 men over just laying off his team mate on the edge of the box you’re a fucking loony theclothmonster and SeparateEntityMyArse 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm saying he's not solely culpable but had a part to play in it. He's not blameless for his part. J-Maestro 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely 😂 Ffs if I was half cut it would mean reading this shite would be easier. 4 players BEHIND him, forgot he has eyes on the back of his head. I agree laying the ball off would have been a better option, players act on instinct unfortunately and not all have the required hindsight we have. You stated you weren't blaming him but now saying he's partly to blame, make up your fucking mind. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ForeverAndEver 72,245 Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Offside (of course he was) chance was a sitter Chance that was blocked, he should’ve done better Fucked it at the goal doing what he usually does Big game, big moments, same old Dessers.

But your "he scores against the dross" is hiding the truth that if dessers scores as he has done this season against the dross, from now till season end, he'll likely only score in 4 out of the 11 games remaining Do you think that would be acceptable?

You are guessing based off a season that has been up and down. Ok I'll try and explain these guess work stats more for you. This season Hojlund(no I'm not comparing players only how stats are shite) had scored 6 goals in 26 since joining man utd which is a ratio of 1 goal every 4 games. He then went on to score 8 goals in 8 games which is 1 goal per game. My point is nobody knows, all we know that he has scored against the dross and I'm confident he will continue, to how many nobody knows but it WILL be enough to see us win a treble.

docspiderman 1,262 Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 A decent striker does not need to take 5 or 6 touches, does not change feet 2 or 3 times until the ball is taken off him or he falls over. Strangely, watched Memphis Depay score against Inter; ball comes to him, one touch and bang, goal. The first thing that came to mind was what Dessers would do given that chance and one touch and shoot never came into the equation.

Essandoh 21,396 Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Last thing we need is people getting on his back during the run in. Support him to the hilt and say goodbye in the summer.
