      Has great movement, and creates space in around the 6 yard box to knock home tap ins, not really much else to his game imo

        And that's why he's first choice.

          Pure poacher and opportunist alright... he's unfortunate the two guys ahead of him are RVP & Rooney. But he is too good to be sitting on a bench that's for sure... needs a move.

            Maybe his problem is that he is only an opportunist, albeit a good one. And probably why I wouldn't class him as 'excellent'.

              He's a bit like Soldado, good finisher but not much else to his game.

                Players like Romario,Muller,Fowler,Inzaghi,Butragueno,Pauleta,R aul,Owen etc were goal scorers,poachers,opportunists & had no all round game didn't do them much harm. Most forwards don't have an all round game but if they put the ball in the ball of the net who gives a **** Nigey.

                United:81 Games 34 Goals
                Mexico:57 Games 35 Goals

                Excellent at what he does... will flourish when getting regular football. And sure you don''t class Bale as excellent so ...

                  Fowler, Romario, Raul had no all round games?

                  As you say, who gives a ****.

                    Hernandez is decent, would probably be good for 20 odd goals a season given a regular starting place.

                    If the games not going for you though it'll be like playing with 10 men, as he's only really useful in front of the penalty spot.
                    The times they are a changin'.

                        That's why he's in his situation he currently finds himself in. Man Utd bring him on when they are pressing forward and in need of goals which suits his game and while this is the case the team is set up to play the way that suits him, which is why he rarely has a bad game in these situation. But is also probably why he struggles or at least doesn't look as good when playing 90 mins.
                        The only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved.

                            Just because they are poachers doesn't mean they have to score **** goals

                            Raul,Fowler,Romario as i mentioned all brilliant players and goal scorers, but i would hazard a guess the amount of goals the three above scored... about 90% + of those goals would have been scored within the penalty area. Goals win games so a goalscorers are as valuable to a team as any other type of player... if not more so.

                              You've just picked clips of him scoring goals.

                              What about the build up play / rest of the game?
                              Oh I don't know.

                                Not at the top level they won't. Raul, Fowler and Romario had much much to their game than just goal scoring. Hernandez as a starter takes too much from the rest of the team to be effective. Useful sub though.
