He has to start from now on.  And make sure that absolute melt Perez is nowhere near the squad either.

 

Thought the movement between Muto, Perez and Kenedy was one of the more obvious positives from that game.

Yep.

 

We played our best football last year with a quick striker alongside Perez and did so today. Shelvey plays better with players making runs rather than aiming for a target man

A player like this is far more effective in Rafa's system than immobile players like Mitrovic, Rondon and Joselu. He offers similar movement and link-up play to Gayle, whose presence improved our performances last season even if he wasn't scoring.

Great first touch and close control. Honestly he held it up better just using his feet than Joselu or Rondon have trying to "battle" in the air so far this season.

 

 

Also with him we stopped just punting it and looked better for it.

 

We need to just ditch target men, they don't work for us.

Holding it up on the ground is obviosuly always a much higher percentage play. Even the best target men only control a long ball about 15% of the time*.

 

*Actual percentage may be miles different.

It's so obvious that Muto is at least 900%* better than Perez or Josepu.

 

*Actual percentage probably true.

Was he booed off or Joselu booed on? Either way, we have some of the worst fans in the world if what I heard on Telly were indeed boos.

 

Was it not more to do with the fact it should have been Perez?

 

So fans now express sub opinions by proxy via booing? 😂 Not doubting you, the whole atmosphere is insane.

I think the goal against Man U showed what he is all about. He needs the ball to his feet in the penalty area which isn't happening much since we don't manage to get it in those areas much over 90 mins.
