A dive and then he is shit.Yeah so right.

Don't think I need to repeat my viewpoint about the knee-jerk reactions after every matchday here.

I love how people expect big things in a less than 20 min cameo vs Arsenal,most of which we are 1 man down.

If we need to send him on loan then we need to send almost the whole team on loan also.

Considering our whole team is made of non-league players bar De Gea it might actually be best to send him on loan to a better team so he can learn from some proper players.

 

[NoPace]

He's 20, smart and skillful. He'll be great.

 

[kouroux]

What the hell was he shouting when Oliver booked him ? That he didn't dive ?

He was pointing to the edge of the box so I'd imagine he was referencing the bit of contact that he got outside the box.

Frustration more than anything else then. If you're gonna dive though, do it properly when the contact is made and not a second later.

 

[legball]

The annoying thing is that he had just beat his man, ffs stay on your feet and do something good with that ball, but no, he decided to go down, a very stupid decision. The decisions and behaviour of our players at times smarks of a total lack of intelligence, what's it all about, am worried.

 

[dirkey]

Well this video clearly illustrates what I saw in this game. I can't believe people thought his cameo was good. He was absolutely hopeless. Messed up every single thing he did. His two decent bits of play, one ended in a dive, one when running the ball idiotically out of play. Young, loads of potential but I'm really starting to get frustrated by the fact he clearly isn't learning from his numerous mistakes.

 

[girish]

He wasn't any good in his last game and everyone was lapping him up. He beat some players, and his final ball was as shite as ever.

 

[darko]

To be fair, Welbeck went down easily in the first half and the ref let that go. Still, I don't know why he dived considering he was past Monreal.

 

[Nighteyes]

The dive was shite but I liked the way he didn't pussy foot around. Got the ball and then tore his full back to bits whenever he was on the right.

 

[Rykker_4united]

fecking pathetic dive from him. Either dribbled the ball off the field today or fell from a gust of wind. His dive is far worse than Di Maria's. Why do players dive when they've passed their defender?

 

[kafta]

Its frustrating seeing someone with so much ability resort to such antics.

He might get a game on sunday with Di Maria's suspension, and he really needs to start taking his chances.

 

[RoadTrip]

His diving is becoming a real embarrassment. And his decision making seems to actually be getting worse. I'm all for beating the man but he does it when it won't lead anywhere. Sometimes he just needs to step up his end product. Improve those areas and I do think he has the talent to be a very good player.

 

[Mark_GrumpyLion]

I'm strangely extremely pissed off yet encouraged by his appearance tonight. His dive was utterly brainless - he was in a fantastic position to create a chance. However he showed a what he's got in his locker in terms of beating a man and creativity. And showed that he's got a bit of pace, too.

Indeed. The dive was terrible, but he showed eagerness and flashes of brilliance too.

That's the most frustrating thing with him at the moment, he creates space in dangerous position only to have either a shitty pass or a poor shot.

 

[Lay]

His end product is awful. Rooney had a right go at him a couple of times last night.

 

[Drifter]

Needs to bulk up

Januzaj heads for the gym

[gerdm07]

I agree. I think there is good chance he could be very good. No need to loan, play him on the wing against right competition.

 

[Sammyjunn]

Think he'd be best in Germany, he'd be great with fast playing teams giving him some space, wouldnt mind him going to a Gladbach for example.

Only it's not knee-jerk, is it? He's produced practically nothing for a long long time.
I don't doubt his natural talent, but he has not developed one bit from 18 months of first team involvement, and that's worrying.

Yes, he's far from being the only one failing to play as well as we expect. But in his case maybe a loan might help at his age. Whereas we're hardly going to send ADM or Valencia on loan to learn their trades, are we?

Maybe I'm being stereotypical but that diving shite won't pass in those teams.

 

[caisenma]

it won't pass for united, either. he's dove once all season, the rest of those dives came last year.

not for a second do i believe that management and the other players in the team will let him forget it either. that shit isn't right.

 

[Di Maria's angel]

That move right at the beginning of the video! Why the hell don't we do that more often! That's exactly what we're missing.

Frankly its embarrassing and the lack of pussying around is something I've always liked about United. We have some serial offenders but the bulk of the team is tough enough.

Tell Robben that.

 

[Rykker_4united]

Tell Robben that.

Do you have his # for me then?

 

[Blue always red]

Lol, he's 20 years old and he dived. Ronaldo did and then cut it out his game when he matured. Feckin hell, some plays can do no right...

 

[Acole9]

He is going to be a top quality player, there's no doubt about that. I think his current situation is similar to that of Ronaldo when he was at United.

 

[MyOnlySolskjaer]

I think with Ronaldo's development; he had more of an opportunity to develop where as with Adnan, we are in a situation where we have to field our strongest 11 every lineup unless injuries/suspensions prevent that.

It's good to know that he's hitting the weights and looking to increase his speed and strength to improve his all around physical ability just as Ronaldo did.

He's just got to gain some more experience under his belt and he'll gradually improve his decision making and surprise us with a nice curve of form.

 

[Lawman]

Not sure what you are smoking but he is a billion miles of what Ronaldo was when he first came.

 

[Raoul]

Don't disagree he will be quality. He reminds me more of Luke Chadwick circa 2001 than Ronaldo.

 

[Ibi Dreams]

Not sure what you are smoking but he is a billion miles of what Ronaldo was when he first came.

You say that now, but in his first season there was a pretty even-sided debate about who had more to their game at 18, Ronaldo or Januzaj. Nobody was claiming he was as good as Ronaldo or will be as good, but at that time he genuinely seemed to be overall a more complete package

 

[Dante]

Nobody saw Ronaldo becoming the player he is today. At 18, he was a tricky but inconsistent winger with great dribbling skills and little end product. Now he's a powerhouse goalscorer whose game is all about pace, strength and finishing. There are barely any similarities between what he was and what he's become.

People who claim they could tell he'd become world class are being disingenuous. He's not a world class version of his teenage self. He's a completely different player in a way that nobody could have reasonably predicted.

Januzaj's development could still go in any direction. Whilst he has the physical frame to become a monster like Ronaldo, I think he'll probably stay slight and turn into more of a playmaker. You'd expect him to be inconsistent for a while yet, if that's the case. Direct comparisons do him a disservice.

I disagree about Ronaldo. He was pure electricity from day one when he came on against Bolton. You just knew there was something special there. I had no doubt he would become one of the world's best players one day.

There's a lot of nebulous terminology there. He's world class for reasons nobody could see a decade ago.

just console yourself with the fact that a lot of fans in here wanted martinez at united this time last year

 

[prarek]

I can see him being an integral part of our team withing two years. By integral i mean a regular starter.

 

[FC Ronaldo]

Fully agree. I've not been on here long enough to provide written evidence but from the first time I saw him play in Lisbon I said he would be one of the best players in the world. He even beat that.
