7 | Omar Marmoush - 2025/26

[robbieh]

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.

 

[ALDN_Ko]

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.

 

[BlueTG]

I just don’t see it with him.

 

[NordStrike]

Sell him to Al Hilal for £80mil , buy Igor Thiago

 

[Skrastins]

Sell him to Al Hilal for £80mil , buy Igor Thiago

why ?

we should look at Alvarez type signing, who is young, talented and can play multiple positions

 

[richards30]

If Marmoush wants out or we sell him then bring Smit in.

 

[rice10]

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.

 

[Johnny Mars Bar]

I’m not convinced he is up to the standard we need.

 

[Craig]

I’m not convinced he is up to the standard we need.

I don’t think he is. Did a job for us though first half.That spot is Doku’s once he’s fit

 

[Chak19]

Decent first half, thought he was much better than Semenyo and unlucky to get pulled off instead of him.

 

[Damien10]

Same against Liverpool.

Marmoush was good today. Shame he come off when he did.

 

[shemnel]

I'm not sure what position he is supposed to be playing.

 

[OrigamiNinja]

Decent first half, thought he was much better than Semenyo and unlucky to get pulled off instead of him.

Agreed. I thought that was one of Marmoushs better games. He brought the chaos as per usual and there was some threat there. Semenyo was terrible.

He loves playing Newcastle tbf, they suit his style.

 

[domalino]

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.

 

[Revolver]

He’s no Tevez but he does give us an energy and shows a willing to shoot in a team that at times seems just to want to keep the ball.

 

[clarion]

He is great upfront. Moves quickly and make us much more dangerous.

 

[HypnoticBlue]

Good as maybe a squad player but he sherks a challenge which doesn’t do it for me, and not exactly taking his chances when he starts.
Must do better.

 

[Manchester_lalala]

Really good first half, don’t think he deserved to be subbed.

 

[Kun Blue]

Wish his quality on the ball matched his work off it
