[Opinion Post] Striker (self.reddevils)

tocitusMemphis が 投稿

I'm going to be submitting a post a day for each position on the team which should create some discussion until the season begins. These posts are to compare the current options and general discussions surrounding each position. Yesterday was #10 and today is the last in the series.

All stats for each player are compiled specifically for each position, not their stats as a whole

Possible Talking Points

  • Who is your first choice?

  • Are you happy with the rotation/back-up options available?

  • Any academy players to look out for?

Tomorrow I'll post nothing because this is over and we we will be watching United win the Community Shield.

I think Rashford is going to force his way back into the first XI this season one way or another.

[–]ChegismDe Gea 7ポイント8ポイント  (1子コメント)

Rashford is going to have opportunities to shine in the early rounds of all the cups, as well as any league games we rest Zlatan for. If he takes them I expect him to get more minutes a game as the season wears on.

[–]MalforianJose Mourinho 6ポイント7ポイント  (0子コメント)

I expect 70 minutes ibra 20 minute Rashford games too

[–]YoungPappy 1ポイント2ポイント  (1子コメント)

Mkhi in the middle and rashford on the right

[–]snowman131313Smalling 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

I think that would give us our strongest lineup. Rashford and martial destroying the wings with mkhi distributing.

[–]Phosbum 14ポイント15ポイント  (2子コメント)

When I see Rashford play, I feel the same for when I first saw Ronaldo and Rooney play.

[–]aman27deepvG 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

I agree. I'm glad we have such an amazing talent.

[–]ibaRRaVzLaVenezuela's Nº1 United Fan 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

He's definitely the best player that has come out of our academy in a long time, it's been a while since one of our prospects has excited the general fan base this much, at least one that has broken though to the first team. Bar Januzaj, of course.

[–]OriArRooney 13ポイント14ポイント  (17子コメント)

Ibra is the best striker in the league and Rashford is a very capable backup/understudy.

I am not worried in the slightest about this position.

[–]j1202 27ポイント28ポイント  (2子コメント)

Ibra is the best striker in the league

That's absolute lunacy. He's never even played in the league and Aguero is still alive...

[–]muu411 1ポイント2ポイント  (1子コメント)

I agree but keep in mind Aguero has a long history of injury problems. If he stays healthy all year it's likely he'll win the Golden Boot, but that's a big "if". I think the battle is more likely to be between Ibra and Kane. It's pretty amazing how few injuries Ibra has actually had

[–]j1202 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

Auero's injury history is perhaps just a little overstated though. He certainly has his issues and often needs to be wrapped in cotton wool. But since going to city he has only failed to make at least 40 appearances in 1 season, and he still scored 28 goals and had 14 assists that year. He's an animal. Half a season of Aguero is still miles better than 38 games of most.

[–]ChegismDe Gea 9ポイント10ポイント  (5子コメント)

I think this is the majority opinion I've seen here as well. I don't think Zlatan is going to set the league alight and bag 30 goals, but I do expect our entire strikeforce (Martial, Mhik, Rooney, Mata) to come in with goals.

I think our best benefit this year is that a goal can come from nearly anywhere, as opposed to our one-dimensional "Martial beating 3 guys" like last season.

[–]OriArRooney 6ポイント7ポイント  (3子コメント)

I actually think Zlatan can score 25+ in the PL this season. He scored 38 (!) last season in France, even you take into account a falling rate of a third, it's 26 goals.

His chances of getting 30+ at the PL are way better than some think IMO.

[–]yiyiyiyiPogba 3ポイント4ポイント  (1子コメント)

PSG are just so freakishly dominant in Ligue 1. Even if we have an incredible season we won't be close to dominating games like PSG do. He should be getting 20 league goals at least but it's quite a big jump to 30.

[–]omegaxLoLAnder Herrera 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

I agree. To have 30 or close to 30 goals in the league this season he'd have to perform at 13/14 Suarez or 07/08 Ronaldo levels, pretty high standard.

[–]ChegismDe Gea 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

How many do you think the others will get if Zlatan is bagging 25 or so?

[–]AngryUncleTonyShaw 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

I agree. I don't think it'll be like 12-13 when RVP carried us, I think it'll be a more collective effort. Based on the way the front four was overlapping and the fullbacks were joining against Everton, I wouldn't expect anyone to have more than 15 goals, though I do expect a couple of players to get close to it.

[–]Sub-Grumpy 5ポイント6ポイント  (4子コメント)

I don't know if he's better than Aguero, especially without having played a league game (so we don't truly know). But if we based it off his previous performances, he would definitely be up there.

[–]digitagCarrick 1ポイント2ポイント  (2子コメント)

In real terms Aguero's injury prone nature counts against him in a 'best of' competition IMO. It's all well and good being the "best" technical striker in the league but if you're consistently injured for large portions of the season you aren't as valuable to the team.

That said, it's far too early to be calling Zlatan the best striker in the league when he's a 34 year old who has never even competed in the league. I'm confident he can be but time will tell.

[–]fredum 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

He's not consistently injured for large portions of the season though. Last season he played 30 league games (1 fewer than Zlatan) and the season before 33 (9 more than Zlatan). Plus there's no way a 34 year old is going to be able to play every game this season either, especially over the Christmas period.

[–]omegaxLoLAnder Herrera 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

To me, the fact that Aguero has his injury problems and still consistently outputs 20+ goals every season is pretty impressive. Not to mention the only time he missed a huge part of a season was in 13/14, before and after that he was always involved in 30+ league games.

[–]bipolarsunrise 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

He is better than Augero but in PL only the time will tell!

P.S. (Augero is best in competition)

[–]fakeplasticairbag 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

Ibra is the best striker in the league

Come off it. Aguero.

Zlatan was better at 28 sure but not now.

[–]ZachMichSchweinsteiger 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Martial as well. Honestly I think attack is our strongest position in terms of the quality of options

[–]Marcosbryant10 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Yeah its a toss up between him and Aguero now, Kane will always be up there aswell after proving us wrong two years in a row and I don't expect Vardy to be on fire this season

[–]ShacharPollak 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

Aguero is a better striker, and Zlatan didn't even play a single league game so as far we know Martial and Rashford are better strikers for us (PL proven) not to mention there are plenty of other talents at other clubs.

I think if Zlatan does well he can end up with 20 goals.. but I can't see him scoring 25+ like others. (Hope I'm wrong of course)

[–]Nhialor 1ポイント2ポイント  (1子コメント)

Why is Depay down as only 1 appearance?

I'd love to see zlatan up front on rotation with Rashford. With martial on the wing and give Rooney a few games in behind to prove himself again.

[–]MuppetxMemphis 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

Because he's only played once as a striker, against Watford.

You seem to have forgotten Ashley Young.
