Needs a much better showing than last time.
what utter rubbish.Its a disgrace he starts ahead of Depay imo
what happened mate, even though we are always taking the piss you usually had a decent eye but in last month or so you are just talking rubbishIts a disgrace he starts ahead of Depay imo
Wonder who that reminds the rest of us of.Lingard is completely out of his depth here
Nice link up play to lay the ball for Mata there.Lingard is completely out of his depth here
Did you watch the same game? He was completely anonymous with the exception of the assist.good performance in the first half, fantastic pressing in defense and nice link up play as always....assist was
Interestingly, I see it completely different. More like a player who doesn't contribute much, but that still has his moments in many matches (Chelsea, FA final, Leicester in CS, today with the assist, etc). I thought that today, he and Valencia were our worst performers, although neither of them was bad, but still in different wavelength to their teammates.He's one of those players who will often go under the radar but adds a lot of control to a team performance. He'll be hugely under appreciated by a lot of people but he's a very good player.
Did you watch Lingard? He wasnt involved that much thats true but when he was he played some nice staff and his off the ball game is always exceptional, both defensive and offensive.Did you watch the same game? He was completely anonymous with the exception of the assist.
I didn't specifically watch him but I did notice his off the ball movement in possession and all he did was shift inside constantly leaving Valencia as the only outlet outside.Did you watch Lingard?

Good video. He'll never be quite good enough to nail down a first team place but is a great option and you know what you're getting from him, always puts a shift in and will pop up with a few goals too.
Here you go.
The video doesn't make it look like a 'good' performance from him but then it is out of context.
He's a busy body who does all the 'simple-hard' stuff like running, giving energy, offering on and off the ball movement whilst combining it with decent technique, game intelligence and tactical awareness. Of course a fit Miki should be on the pitch instead of him but that's not the point.
There's always time for a player like that in the squad when you have other super explosive/creative/attacking players.
In the past with Fergie it was Fletcher, O'Shea, P.Neville, Park etc etc.
