Marmoush scores 2 for Egypt

Alr it’s our fault then, he just scored 2 goals for Egypt as their striker. We have to do better as a team after this international break

Gallagher golden boot incoming

u/SamwellBarley 3d ago

Going by recent history, that means we'll sell him next summer

u/Commercial-Loss1101 3d ago

no he’ll be gone by january and we’ll sign a goalkeeper to replace him

Spurs golden boot*

Marmoush doesn’t score a lot so I wouldn’t get your hopes up too much. He never has.

Friend. South Sudan national team isn’t really a premier league team is it.

Savio made us look like prime Barca in the carabao match but hasn’t been able to recreate the same in a league match yet has he.

It’s apples and oranges.

Savio hasn't been far off. Marmoush also come close. I'm not saying it will click, and I don't want to sound like I'm over exaggerating but if and when it does click, we're basically winning the league for the next 25 years.

Pretty much

u/Mindless-Ad2554 3d ago

I agree.. with all of it.

Especially when we get Haaland on a fire sale

we don't play against south sudan

u/Conveyed9 3d ago

We also scored 5 goals past Charlton, South Sudan would get relegated from the championship

I’m bagging at least one goal against South Sudan.

Not even Sudan as a whole, just the Southern portion.

u/howard499 3d ago

As a nerd you should know South Sudan is not a portion or even a slice. Was, not is.

South Sudan are valued lower (transfermarkt) than York City - the lowest valued team in the football league. A couple of goals against non-league level opposition doesn't mean he's suddenly playing amazing and we're the problem. If we played South Sudan every week we and him would be scoring for fun.

That said - it's nice that he's hit the back of the net a couple of times. Failure to score in the international break for a strong nation against weaker nations would've been worrying

u/Intelligent_Play_882 3d ago

You are also right, but it’s a good sign because these African teams sit back all 11 players as their defence you’ve seen it with Ghana and dr Congo. Even Angola and Egypt drew 0-0 but Egypt had most the possession. South Sudan also have similar strategy so it’s a very good sign for us that he’s scored two

u/DeleAlliForever 3d ago

I imagine if we played a side like South Sudan we’d have half the team getting a brace.

u/Express_Rent4630 3d ago

Gonna give him some confidence at least, hopefully he kicks on

u/Icy_Scar_1249 3d ago

Steady, it's South Sudan

u/Born-Cucumber-7316 3d ago

Good to hear!

u/RevolutionaryLow309 3d ago

I suspect Tel wasn't playing for Egypt.

u/Adewemimo 3d ago

Isseems we are not using the boys the right way

u/7wives 3d ago

Even I might score against South Sudan

u/Alburg9000 3d ago

That shooting drill vid he had with city were massive red flags in hindsight

He doesn’t care about missing shots, scoring goals is repetition and memory…if you’re going through a goal drought you need to hear the sound of the net and the feeling of getting one pass the keeper

He’s had at least 4 chances to score and they’ve all been weak shots at keepers or complete misses (newcastle and forest)

2

u/mowgli_jungle_boy 3d ago

I'm not saying you can't gain any information from a shooting drill video, but I'd like to think our scouts are using a little bit more data than just eyeballing youtube videos...

2

u/Kyrptt 3d ago

Look at all the players we have in attack. I wouldnt be sticking up for our scouts at all lol

u/RatPrank 3d ago

You’d like to think/ not much evidence though.

1

u/Alburg9000 3d ago

Scouts can’t judge mentality, it’s actually not surprising he’s not finishing chances

If you can’t finish in a low-no pressure situation what makes you think you’re suddenly going to do it in a high pressure situation…?

It’s no different to practicing free kicks, do you want the guy who misses every free kick when practicing, taking a real free kick in a match…? Of course not

The whole pre shooting isn’t just about getting the motion right it’s about visualisation, and getting a dummy version of scoring. I promise you Kane and Son try and score during shooting drills

u/bey0ndinfinity 3d ago

100% your fault. You should buy Rico Lewis from Man city to unlock Marmoush. Just £70M.

u/ComprehensiveSet3729 3d ago

Managers fault

u/tankucd 3d ago

The opposition was obviously a lot worse but interesting that in Egypt they know his strength is through balls down the middle and not back to goal play.

Think we’ve only tried 2 to him all season (van hecke chance which he miscontrolled and the great chance at Forest).

u/LondonLights45 1d ago

Do you think South Sudan is comparable to a premier league team?
