7 | Omar Marmoush - 2024/25

[skillman]

Great strike to hit the bar.

He mustn’t have got the memo of not being allowed to shoot.

 

[mancityscot]

Probably our best player just now. Benching him is utter madness. Offered more in 9 minutes than Haaland all game.

I understand resting him before the cup final and against Southampton but he should've been brought on 30 minutes earlier, Pep's crap use of the subs strikes again.

Marmoush should've started because Haaland shouldn't have all of a sudden after a month out. We're at the end of the season playing one game a week and have too much on the line to be playing it safe. He's been the main man up top of late so let him out to help us get a lead, then take him off for Haaland to get some fitness.

Yeah he could've done that too, but starting Haaland and bringing on Marmoush in the 85th minute was more logical for him.

Criminal that he was benched yesterday, did more in 6 minutes than the rest of the team managed all game.

Also looked to be the only one bothered about actually trying to win the game.

 

[ProofMCFC]

I think people have been massively overrating his performances since he’s joined, he’s been okay. Didn’t realise how fucking clumsy he is and how often he picks the wrong option!

 

[city9320]

He's been alright. Can't completely derail his performance because he misses a penalty, good save from a keeper who shouldn't be on the pitch...

I didn’t even mention the penalty.

The whole winter transfer window looks bad now. Reis is yet to play, Khusanov and Nico Gonzales have become out of favour without any reason

 

[robbieh]

Penalty aside he's done far more than the statuesque blond.

 

[ProofMCFC]

But has he? And even if he has it isn’t a hard yard to beat.

 

[chris85mcfc]

Completely average and were stuck with him for another few years

Crazy to think he was left out of the Southampton game, and yet turns up and serves that up today

 

[Chak19]

Of course as soon as he comes here his set pieces become shite and he starts missing crucial penalties, the City way.

 

[AlexGrimaldo]

we have been buying very doubtful quality players , we seem lost in planning our signings\season

 

[Gorbachev]

We wouldn't be in an FA Cup final without him.

We would have been out at Bournemouth

Also, we would have been out of the top 5 race weeks ago without his important goals in this run in.

 

[Blue-Ghana]

I am not sure you can play a 2-striker system with Haaland in the team. He sold a better goal scorer in Alvarez

Also today was his 19th game at the club. He’s brand new here, I expect he’ll be much better next season and he’s already pretty good.

 

[ID70]

Was on a good run until tactics changed to bring Haaland back in, results no goals and a draw and a defeat

 

[OrigamiNinja]

Anyone can miss a pen, so I won’t hold that against him. I am more annoyed at Haaland not taking it.

That being said, I am far from convinced by what I have seen of him so far. He’s had good games but I think he’s had more average to bad ones. Everything seems a bit rushed and chaotic around him. I hope he’s just settling in but at the moment, he looks like another one of these good player, not great player signings we have been consistently purchasing in recent years. I don’t look at him and think ‘wow, he’s an improvement over Jesus and Alavarez’. The clock is ticking.
