It’s actually been highlighted that it’s a tactic ole uses, he allows teams up the pitch before the press to create space behind them. We are useless against a deep blockSure you tell yourself that
Well you know, coaching against Liverpool will say follow Robertson and Trent Alexander Arnold whenever they go forward as they're a huge weapon for liverpool.
you know, tactics.
I don’t think anyone hated him, just really didn’t like how often he appeared in the starting 11.
Its a good job we extended his contract for a year to protect his value. Otherwise he might not be able to afford to prop up his failing clothing venture for much longer
Yeah some people on here are absolute dicks sharing their opinion on a public forum that exists for people to share their opinion.
But maybe we will find a buyer after a loan? Not for big money, but for some fee at least - otherwise he just eats up salary while not being able to get on the bench
So true. That's why most players became irrelevant once they left a club. Most of the fans only disliked the player playing for them (if he isn't up to expectations) but not the actual person. Don't think most of Utd fans were following Cleverley around to abuse him. It stopped the moment he left the club.
Would you buy JLingz?
So strange indeed. Can't wait until he's gone, along with Jones. Probably the only two players left that embody our mediocrity over the past seven years.
Jones I can understand, obviously it wasnt thinking about him performing in the team but more of having his back while we know he's always injured and we can't tell him to feck off. Stupid, but I can understand.
If you are referring to zero as a single digit. He was decent to good on a few occasions and popped in some goals for us. But that's about it.
which we’ve more than reimbursed him for. And we gave him how many chances to get his form back? lots of academy players who became squad players here used to head off once they plateaued and knew they’d never be first choice or when they were getting older as we’d only offer 1/2 year deals to players over 30. Everyone is hanging on here for dear life these days because we’ve been quite foolish with our contracts extensions recently. You Cant really blame the players for signing a contract here when the only way is down for 99% of them
Yeah I gave that generous estimate in order not to get too many defenders of his jumping down my throat.
Let's hope it's a sale rather than a loan. We already have dalot and perriera coming back
Not a bad shout but neither really do anything.
What? That doesn't make sense at all. We're not a charity.
Lingard loses the ball many times, VdB doesn't.
I wish this were true.
He may do well in a club with lower calibre players. His level is known, at Man Utd it is below the level of other players. In other club, it may be on par (or above) - there he will be an important player then
Don't know about that, i think a more appropriate comparison is who would be a better option off the bench between Jesse Lingard and a Springer Spaniel?
Agree, if it was up to me I wouldnt have done it. But I can understand if that was the reason renew his contract due to empathy. With Lingard I just can think of a reason at all.
No hatred (we don’t know him personally). But his performance (shit or worse performances) over the last I don’t know how many years are not good enough for a club like Man Utd. We can’t tolerate mediocrity here, if we want to be a top club
Bollocks. Some of the comments on here at certain points were ridiculous and obsessive at times regardless of form. Was certainly borderline hatred.
