The issue with Hojlund isn’t the goals for me. The biggest problem with him is the number of games he’s a complete ghost. It’s one of the reasons I hate the overuse of stats.

I always point to Lukaku’s first season here. He scored 27 goals which is a very respectable goal tally but there were many, myself included that weren’t moved by the number.

If a player plays 50 games a season and does absolutely nothing in 30 games, whether they score 20 in the remaining 20 games is of no use to me. The damage has been done in the games where they couldn’t make any impact. You’d even prefer if he was like Jackson and Nunez where they make things happen but can’t finish, Hojlund is just a complete ghost in most games.

Hojlund scored 16 in his first season and Martial only scored one more in his . You’ll notice there is a massive difference in how both were viewed after their first seasons.

You can't compare a seasoned PL striker at the time in his "prime" with a young striker playing his first season in the league, that's the issue. Pointing to that is ridiculous.

Maybe this will cheer you up

Thank you.

These videos should always be taken with a grain of salt, but in this case most of it is from his season here. And we all know how little help he’s had from his teammates and the system we’ve mostly played. In that context it’s beyond me how anyone can watch that video and think “nah, not enough potential”. Really strange.

Preach brother.

I’ve said the same many times. I’d much rather he missed more chances, I’m not that fussed about the goal tally at this point.
