7 | Omar Marmoush - 2025/26

Give me the other 2 to bag goals and Doku all day over Omar. Perfect front 3 for me to compliment each other
People underestimate the technique he has to score the goals he does. In addition he seems capable of scoring in the 6yd box.
Whilst I agree that some days Doku is unplayable he is never likely to be consistent. Thus if we are saying Haaland has to play then the 2 either side can be selected from
Semenyo, Doku, Marmoush and when available Savinho. 5 players for 3 spots is not excessive.

Foden and Cherki are midfield players and are fighting for one spot in the midfield alongside Rodri and O'Reilly.
 
Too old and too fast for to be offside as often as he is. Good run and finish for his goal that should’ve counted.
 
Hes not long term at City as he doesnt fit in but does a job I think its telling that all his goals at at home

2 goals in 23 away appearances for us. He is what the term Fair-weather player was invented for.

I always think sometimes a player might not have the required skill level, but if they have the effort it doesn’t matter. What worries me particularly about Marmoush is that a couple of times he has just absolutely chickened out of a physical confrontation. There is no excuse for not at least trying to win the ball.
 
I’m not convinced he is up to the standard we need.

In 6 months time in a world where Foden is back in form, Doku is fit and Cherki is trusted more, I’m not sure why you’d ever pick Marmoush unless Haaland is injured.

He’s not an amazing finisher, he’s not got out and out pace, he doesn’t work particularly hard, hes not a physical player who can hold the ball up and bring others in, he’s not really capable of dropping into the 10 position and playing killer passes.


I said a few weeks ago he’s 6/10 at everything and maybe in better form he becomes 8/10 and a great allrounder but I’m not seeing it.

Some posters seem to think everything he does is amazing and I don’t think I’ve ever had such a big disconnect on here with what other people are seeing.
