The best players for the biggest clubs do end up playing about 50/60 games though. If he’s fit, he’s not getting dropped.Haaland can't and shouldn't be playing 60 games a season or we'll end up with another rodri situation. Marmoush is capable of deputising even if we have to tweak the system a bit. All the talk of him not fitting in the starting 11 is crazy. We shouldn't have a fixed 11 and we haven't until the last couple of seasons.
Even if Bobb goes it doesn't give Marmoush more games,just don't think there's a place for him.I like Marmoush, I'm frustrated he hasn't been used more but Pep has his best XI and its pretty settled, and unfortunately Marmoush isnt in that XI
I'd rather we sold Bobb with a buy-back clause (he has talent just needs Morgan Rogers level development) than Marmoush, hes still the best replacement for Haalan when he inevitably get injured
I’ve not been impressed by Marmoush at all but It is strange that Reijnders Is given a level of freedom that Marmoush has never been afforded. It’s like it’s been decided that Marmoush isn’t good enough to replace Haaland and he isn’t good enough on the wing, so he is out in the cold.I'd rather Marmoush play the Reijnders role.
Yes he has a bad first touch but he doesn't ghost through games. Marmoush is arguably our best presser and a very effective 2nd striker.
That’s exactly what’s been decided. Pep said it himself that he sees him only as a striker. Which ultimately means his City career is over and he’ll leave in the summer. The idea when signing Haaland cover is that they have to be able to play elsewhere too, otherwise they’ll never play. I think the club thought they’d achieved that with Marmoush but it seems Pep is making it clear to those above him that they made a mistake. It’s possible that Marmoush’s replacement joins us this week - I absolutely would not be surprised if Semenyo sometimes plays as a striker for us when Haaland is rested or injured. He did used to be one. But is also far better on the wing than Marmoush, so fits better.I’ve not been impressed by Marmoush at all but It is strange that Reijnders Is given a level of freedom that Marmoush has never been afforded.

Pep also thinks playing Bernie on the right wing is a good option, so who knows.That’s exactly what’s been decided. Pep said it himself that he sees him only as a striker.
