Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez: I am doing my best every single day to earn more minutes on the pitch. "I am working towards that - earning a spot as a starter. "I know my performance on the pitch will allow me to achieve that goal Some day, either here or elsewhere for another club." "I just need to be given more opportunities to showcase what I can do." 25 years old and without doubt one of the greatest poachers in the world. Van Persie, Rooney, (one I dont agree with) Welbeck are all ahead as starters. If U were in Chicharito's position... Desired across the world. Would U stay?
If it affected his standing in the Mexico team i would expect Hernandaz to look elsewhere, at the moment it is not so i think he will stay and try to prove himself. His all round play (link up, lay off, shielding and to a certain extent dribbling) has improoved greatly over the last 12 months, he now needs to add the devastating finishing when starting games. Ollie had the same problem, when he started games he was marked out of them, when he came on as a sub defenders were not able to keep track of him.
Maybe so. But he will get goals wherever he goes. Sadly I believe he will get even less playing time under the naturally Negative Moyes. I hope for UTD's sake he goes abroad. Super striker, ideal in practically any tactical formation. In particular, counter attack. Under-valued and mis-used imo.
Disagree with the bold part, as well as the negative comments about David Moyes obviously. Chicharito is best deployed in a two striker system where others create the chances and he finishes them off. His build up play is getting better but is nowhere near good enough for him to play as a lone striker. Since most top teams in Europe play with a lone striker I would find it hard to believe that he would just fit in naturally in 'most' formations. Chances are he'll end up on the bench again. For similar reasons I don't see him as a classical counter attacker. He has good acceleration but does not have the overall pace and stamina of players such as Ronaldo/Nani/Rooney that typified some of our best counter attacking goals in the past, and certainly not the range of passing and build up play that would see those players race up the field and then release their teammate with the perfect pass. In contrast I think he's best when we are controlling the match and he can hang around the box and pounce on any opportunities.
tbh when was the last time he scored for us? I don't blame managers for not playing him.. when he was scoring, he got more games .. so he has to blame only himself
This is all nonsense. Our best two centre forwads are Robin van Persie and Wayne Rooney. Hernandez is therefore a reserve to be used when conditions suit or as a sub as he is not as good as them. That's life in football. That's the long and short of it. If he doesn't like that too much maybe he should leave, yes, as he is a million miles from being one of the 'greatest' (honestly for ****'s sake) strikers in world football.
U The simple questionvwas: in his position would YOU stay. I said he was one of the greatest poachers in world, which he is. Owen described him as a younger version of himself. Read the post the way it was wrote b4 condemning it. Okiedokie...
I would leave if I was him as he's too good to sit on the bench but he's also currently not good enough to start at United. Shame really as he normally grabs a fair few goals for us. However he's not the first quality sforward we had who has had to spend a large amount of time on the bench
You've seemed really happy recently Ruff Has a certain user, often referred to as a certain crystal drug, finally pushed you over the edge ?
This forum is ****e mate, simple as that. Even sweats isn't posting! And yeah, could well be a certain someone has bollocks'ed it all up!
I said on a thread a few weeks ago that you, Sweats and a couple others weren't posting as much (including myself). Hopefully it will pick up again soon
I'm not not posting for any other reason than the fact I'm ****ing busy. . Done 6 deals in 2 days. It also is a bit tedious with people constantly winding math up.
