in hindsight, i feel that the hojlund signing hindered both club and player: the higher-ups (and the fans) expect immediate returns from young SC who isn't the finished article, at that time martial was the senior SC but he was often injured and hojlund was quickly thrown into the deep end without a senior striker to learn from; after signing him, loaning him out to lower division clubs (like amad did) to gain experience and learn how to handle defenders would be beneficial as we saw how often he got outmuscled by PL defenders and his touch is quite poor

under ETH system, there was little service to hojlund as the inverted wingers were the focal pts in attack. now under RA system, supply to him improved but we can still see the selfishness of his teammates, RA must have gone fergie on the squad to pass the bloody ball to hojlund. and then of course hojlund himself cannot must not dwell on the ball, vs arsenal he had clear sight of goal but he dwelled and that half second allowed rice to nip the ball away from behind

agree that he is getting close, his confidence will be restored once he scores, leicester is the best chance to end his goal drought, arboh vs lyon or wolves liao
