AFCON 2025 | Final - Jan 18th, 19:00

Only if Pep actually uses Omar.
True, but I hope he sees that when Haaland isnt firing, he needs another killer there to pick up the slack.

I wouldn't want all 3 at once, but playing any 2 at a time is good rotation and depth.
 
Well; he won't get in ahead of Haaland. And Pep doesn't seem to be a fan of two up front. Drop a midfielder for him, and you risk upsetting the balance of the side.
He seems happy playing Reijnders behind Haaland and Reijnders isn't a midfielder at all, also even if Omar doesn't start he could get significant minutes off the bench, not coming on in the 85th minute every single time like it's been happening this season.
 
Correct. Marmoush really doesn't have the skillset to play any kind of midfield role. More of an inside forward/2nd striker.

Reijnders is a more accomplished player and has started scoring reasonably consistently.
Well I see Reijnders as a second striker too since he does virtually nothing in midfield with the ball or off the ball and ghosts through large parts of the game, making great runs in behind and some decent finishing lately are the only qualities he's shown so far.

Much better technical player. Controls and passes it well and as you say, good movement and gets into dangerous positions.

Marmoush has more pace and is probably the better finisher but I prefer Reijnders for the role he's currently playing.

I wouldn't say that I am totally convinced by either yet though.
 
Spurs are after him; his recent goals would definitely ramp up the price.
