Oh, Sorry. Didn't know. Haven't come to this thread in a long time or the Match day threads.
I can finally see why he is selected over the likes of Memphis and Januzaj. On days like this, where everything goes well, he is perfect. Martial obviously got a the attention but he made himself a nuisance by working hard - getting himself a goal in result. Dragged players away for Martials goal and picked Martial out for the third.
He is not flashy at all not outstanding physically or technically but he shows more effort and desire compared to the more talented Memphis or Januzaj. I wouldn't want him to be a long term starter, but he's good enough as a squad player.

So let me get this straight, you don't contribute any meaningful contribution to the thread, just pop in to gloat to me everytime he scores only to go missing afterwards when he plays rubbish. Isn't the Caf lucky to have posters like you.
Of course I support the team and players, why wouldn't I?
At the same time I can freely admit when someone isn't good enough, maybe if you took you're tinted glasses off you could see that to. But anyways, the good news is you have earned yourself a golden ticket to my block list, congratulations!I thought he was average. He's on the wing, has pace, yet never troubles his full back. He attempted zero take ons today. He has no particularly special qualities. Good work rate and that's about it. He's an average player really.
Good he scored, although his marker just stood still.
I'll probably get tons of negative comments for what I've said, but be honest with yourselves... if he was playing for Arsenal or City would any of you rate him?
Not that we have much better options on the wing, but if we finally do get our act together he should be sold really. At best he's a squad player.

Sshhh. Perspective is not allowed in this thread because he is local and young apparently.
Yeah, looking back at the thread I see if you don't rate him you're deemed a hater.
As if all us who don't rate him won't support him and wouldn't love to be proven wrong and Lingard become a top player.Sticking my neck out... Lingard is Cleverley Mark II. Over hyped because of coming through the youth team, then eventually will be seen as average.
Bye byeSo let me get this straight, you don't contribute any meaningful contribution to the thread, just pop in to gloat to me everytime he scores only to go missing afterwards when he plays rubbish. Isn't the Caf lucky to have posters like you.

Exactly, We would all love Lingard to become a top player, don't think anyone on this forum dislikes him personally, to be called a 'hater' is just daft and childish.Yeah, looking back at the thread I see if you don't rate him you're deemed a hater.
Sticking my neck out. Lingard is Cleverley Mark II. Over hyped because of coming through the youth team, then eventually will be seen as average.
Yeah I agree, he has got Cleverly / Kieran Richardson written all over him. If I was the gloating type like some in here I'd save some of the quotes in this thread for the day he gets sold by a competent manager (especially from that absolute idiot poster above), but hey I've got better things to do.
He was actually very meh apart from his goal. We need so much better, we really do.
You are right. One goal doesnt change the fact that he's average at best. Just look how brilliant our attacking players did yesterday and what his impact was. He just does not offer enough or is involved enough to be a starter for United, and getting carried away by a goal doesnt help. Just keep in mind all the chances he blew this season (and which cost us)
There is no way he would start for another top team. He will become a squad player at best
He would be an ok squad player at the very best if we sort ourselves out. I just don't rate the lad and don't get why people on here get so carried away when he gets a goal.
Yeah I'm an idiot for reserving judgement and having a little dig everytime he scores or does something meaningful. Wish I could have seen your face when he scored
My argument is that he's only just broken into the team and is doing fantastic. Let's give him half a chance yeah instead of writing him of like 80% of fans on here. He gives our team balance.
If he is doing fantastic then God help us.
They dont see beyond that. They think if someone scored a goal he's brilliant. As others pointed out, zero take ons, hardly any good passes or chances created by him - he just doesnt bring enough to the team
That makes you the gloating type.
Stoke let him find space and that is when he is effective but it also seemed like LVG gave him license to roam.
His celebration is shite.
Well he is doing a really solid job. And scoring 3 plus 2 assists for a team that has scored 31 goal in 24 matches in the league is a good record for is full debut season..
He's just the sort of player we need, just a shame he's not of the required quality for a Man Utd first teamer. At least he shouldn't be.
Still, lively player, good squad player. I like him.

Sort of this.
So often his ability is called out as not as good as Januzaj's or Memphis's (which it isn't) and people will take it like a personal insult. That said, thought he had a good game last night and he's a very nice squad player to have, I like him being at the club as he seems to love United and having people round the area and from the academy is always something United have done. Very glad he's with us and I hope his contributions continue until Januzaj and Memphis regain their spots!Yeah, looking back at the thread I see if you don't rate him you're deemed a hater.

Just saw he got MOTM at the end of the game...
Aren't his personal scoring and assists stats one of the reasons why we have such a terrible goal scoring return?
He takes up decent positions but his overall contribution is pretty poor. If all we needed was a player with good movement, Hernandez should never have been let go.
No one calls anyone out for that.
People call posters out for saying stuff like 'he's shit and wouldn't get a game for an Azerbaijanian amateur side' or words to that effect.
Wow, a lot of people are really down on him. He's agile, with quick feet, can link up well and is starting to have more confidence. His decision making, as with most young players, can improve a lot. But he's been more impressive than Memphis...
His movement is good alright but people are clinging to that. It's not as if it's absolutely brilliant. He doesn't have enough to be a starter here.
I would agree but I don't get why people are hard on him or LVG for starting him.
He's not starting games because he works hard. He's starting games because everyone else has been crap. Mata hasn't scored or assisted for fecking ages now, Herrera has been poor, Depay has been dogshite, Young is injured and Januzaj is not fit enough.
Loads of "ffs Lingard starts" posts in the match day. Complete and utter loons, the lot of them.
Redcafe posters can be unbelievably ridiculous. Since when have we now started to try and discredit the goals of our own players?? He may not have world class potential, but lets be happy that he got us the goal for us to go 1 up when we desperately needed it.
Mata's goal against Derby doesn't count for some reason? Not saying I don't agree with the reasoning for playing Fellaini etc ..
Has been pretty average since he switched over to the right.
He is an intelligent player but he's just not that good. He played ok today, and his goal was well taken, but in the long run he isn't going to be a player you'd fit into a champions league contending starting xi. He isn't good enough to start for England either, really.
At the moment we have maybe 2-3 players of such quality so he fits perfectly in thus far.
Really? De Gea, Smalling, Schweinsteiger, Martial, Mata, Herrera, Rooney (as of 2016)? Not all players who could start in a strong champions league squad?
did he take on his man last night at all?
he seemed to take the safe option all too often, playing square balls inside and I think Darmian was actually more productive going forward...tidy enough player and took his goal well but he is a squad player at best and someone I'd like to have as 3rd or 4th choice at RW
I think his best game for us was vrs CSKA where he was fearless and what he lacked in quality he made up in desire and bravery......maybe he just knows his limitations though

Contending for it? No.
Smalling, de Gea, Martial probably yes, rest, given form this season, not a chance.
Because they're all spoilt brats and rather see a Di Maria type player in the squad....
i think lingard is getting slighted by fans who are wanting/hoping to see memphis or januzaj given a shot. if neither of those were available, i'd suspect people would be a bit more forgiving of him.
then again, what do i know...
