7 | Omar Marmoush - 2024/25

[The Fat el Hombre]

Very poor but a couple of signs of quality and very early days yet. He looked very confident coming into this but looked a little shocked at the end of the game so will be interesting to see how he responds

 

[normskih]

not writing him off but he was gash today. very wasteful with the ball and barely put a foot right.

His corners were superb and we almost scored from them. That’s right, don’t write him off.

 

[hilts]

Quiet today but only his 2nd game and space was at a premium. Him savio foden gvardiol dias bobb rodri and haaland are the future of this club imho.

Hopefully the 2 new cbs as well.

 

[.db.]

Really good movement and was moving their players around with him, which wasn’t exploited.

Quiet other than that.

 

[ChicagoBlue]

KDB is watching his replacement play better in his first two games than Kev has been able to put together twice this season.

Hard to see him staying with Marmoush playing his current position, but if he’ll accept 20 mins here and there and an occasional game to rest Omar…and a 50% cut in his wages, then maybe.

Doubtful.

He’s got San Diego or LA written all over him!

What do you mean San Diego or LA written all over him?

That’s where KDB will be putting his feet up next season, now that Marmoush is playing second striker.

 

[BlueMonkey79]

I am sure Arsenal fans was more scared before the game from him than what he delivered. but same goes for Foden etc.

The way we play now,.if I was an opponent of City, not ONE player would scare me. Not ONE!!

Ok.Maybe and he deserves it as Kev has more than done his bit.I thought you might be suggesting he was putting his feet up with a pay day in view next season.
Early days to think Marmoush could even start to try to fill Kevins boots but he does look promising to my eye.

one week of training soon knocked all that promiss out of him

 

[madloaf]

Probably about 90 minutes away from realizing that creativity, through balls and overlapping runs are not going to be tolerated.

 

[RayCTID]

Will prove to be a valuable asset once fully integrated with the team.

He’s not going to fill the boots of Kev the midfielder. But, Pep won’t play Kev there anymore, or at least for more than 15-20 mins.

Kev plays #2 to Erling in a 4-4-2.

 

[Damanino]

he will be selected vs Leyton, upfront likely to give Haaland a game off ad to get a goal under his belt.

not sure this deeper central role is the best for him. his pace cannot be used as well there vs teams sitting deeper. he will just end up waiting for the ball while Akanji,Ake, Stones passing between each other.

to get the best out of Marmoush we need to be a quicker team, attack quicker, but for that we need huge changes to the side. and 90% of our opponents wont be as naive as Maresca to try a sick high line and leave us space.

Oh I didn’t know Kev plays 2 to Earling in a 4-4-2.Thanks.
Just you called Marmoush Kevs replacement which he obviously isn’t.

I remember couple years ago we were heavily linked with Musiala and Bellingham to replace Kevin, and Guimaraes and Declan Rice to support Rodri, now we shop at the same store as Aston Villa.

 

[D'Silva]

Is there a return policy we can use?

You van say the same of Haaland, Foden, Savio, Doku, Nunez and Gvardiol.

We seen to be buying players who want to attack at pace, then we tell hhem to slow it down and let the Central Defenders dictate tempo. Its just odd.

 

[super_city_si]

He’ll soon get bored with making intelligent runs that get constantly ignored and then get slapped with the same ‘does nothing’ label that Haaland gets.
