Blind faith in a boy that has failed to produce cannot be sustained when points are vitally needed. Training ground wonder or not.
Are you nut?Januzaj doddling and being indecisive as per usual directly led to City's best chance - Aguero - and they should have scored. We cannot afford to carry a passenger all the time, so far he's being nothing but that in all of these games he's played.
Not for me. Lots of teams now paying attention to Di Maria more. Januzaj has had the ball a lot and done nothing. Can you remember a chance he's created?Been better than Di Maria last 2 games.
Yeah, created a clear chance for RVP vs Chelsea. And played 2 good through balls wide cutting in to put players through in the channel besides that first half vs Chelsea too.Not for me.

Did you miss the lovly through ball vs Chelsea? Played a couple of other great passes as well against both CHelsea and WBA.Not for me. Lots of teams now paying attention to Di Maria more. Januzaj has had the ball a lot and done nothing. Can you remember a chance he's created?
It's really ridiculous. He starrted of really well when he turned Clichy and Jovetic early on.Jeez... Everything is falling apart with Smalling and Rojo to an extent, and Januzaj is getting picked on for his 35 minute cameo when he didn't do a lot, but certainly didn't screw up.
I really don't know why I read what other people say on a message board when 99% of the time it's ridiculous uninformed bile.
I suspect if Clichy didn't foul him Januzaj's performance would be seen completely different by some people.It's really ridiculous. He starrted of really well when he turned Clichy and Jovetic early on.
No, he'd have still had 67% pass completion, 0 chances created and 0 tackles.I suspect if Clichy didn't foul him Januzaj's performance would be seen completely different by some people.
Played about 30 minutes so hardly shocking that.No, he'd have still had 67% pass completion, 0 chances created and 0 tackles.
In short, no attacking output, no defensive output and also a poor midfield output.
This is obscene. Anyone could put numbers up like that to make a point. You're so busy bashing a 19 year old who played 35 minutes and hardly put a foot wrong that you've failed to wipe the foam gathering around the edges of your mouth.No, he'd have still had 67% pass completion, 0 chances created and 0 tackles.
In short, no attacking output, no defensive output and also a poor midfield output.
I'm sure he was. But as soon as Ronaldo cemented himself as a star, he would have been the first to jump on the bandwagon.Played about 30 minutes so hardly shocking that.
You do have something against him though. Wonder if you were so harsh on Ronaldo when he was tripping over his own feet at 19
Well, yes he does but it's not like he's done nothing. Played he pass of the match against Chelsea and then you have to consider that his best position is not out wide either.Or I'm just stating facts and don't have the CAF tinted view of him you lot do. He needs to produce more. Fact.
You could say that about everyone, but why the feck you point out a 19 year old who played 35 decent minutes whilst playing at City as your target clearly shows you're out to lunch. Jog on.Or I'm just stating facts and don't have the CAF tinted view of him you lot do. He needs to produce more. Fact.
He's a 19 year old. Fact. How many goals and assists did Ronaldo produce as a 19 year old?Or I'm just stating facts and don't have the CAF tinted view of him you lot do. He needs to produce more. Fact.
67% means crap when there are only 9 passes. Maybe if he had gotten the ball more he could have passed the ball back some more so the passing% goes up, but then you would criticize him for not being more adventurous.No, he'd have still had 67% pass completion, 0 chances created and 0 tackles.
In short, no attacking output, no defensive output and also a poor midfield output.
Yep, there is that but while Mata and Rooney are fit and available he won't see time as a 10. He has to learn to produce elsewhere to force the issue. He isn't doing so consistently and in a phase where Utd need points more than blooding a kid with blind faith, the performances are not up to par to start games yet.Well, yes he does but it's not like he's done nothing.

Who would you play instead? We don't have any other wingers. Valencia was RB and Young was injured.Simply has got to do more before starting games of such magnitude for us. I'm all for giving him games, but away to City at this point is too much to ask of him.
He's fecking 19. Which player is consistent at 19?? Messi?Yep, there is that but while Mata and Rooney are fit and available he won't see time as a 10.

Even if you excuse today's 30 odd minutes
in the alternate universe where only his fanboys dwell....Been better than Di Maria last 2 games.
He was being closed down by 3 players most of the time.Not sure how he can contribute from situations like those.But he seemed more determined to get involved or create opportunities etc etc.Not for me. Lots of teams now paying attention to Di Maria more. Januzaj has had the ball a lot and done nothing. Can you remember a chance he's created?
A diamond with one of Herrera/Mata in place of him? As bad Mata has been recently, he does a little more than Januzaj for my liking. As for Herrera, he's made our bench for the Chelsea game, so I'd expected him to be fit enough to have started this game.Who would you play instead? We don't have any other wingers. Valencia was RB and Young was injured.
All very good, but who should have played ahead of him? Mata has been worse, Herrera and Falcao are injured. And please don't say Valencia or Young.As for all of the Ronaldo comparison digs coming my way, I'll state facts again -
Ronaldo was more fortunate due to us not lying too far down the table and needing points quite as desperately as we do now. We could afford time to allow him to iron out the flaws and gain experience, both good and bad. Ronaldo's hot headedness is a trait thankfully Adnan doesn't yet show at senior level.
Adnan for all his skills and ability is in a tricky situation, not good enough to deliver consistently but also in a team lying far below the level it should be in the league. He needs games, he needs time. We have games, we're running out of time.
In short, our league positions and pressures allow for leniency. Ronaldo was in a safer and easier time for youth to develop. Januzaj isn't and it's getting worse, not better.
Fellaini is (correctly IMO) keeping Herrera out of the team right now. If we keep playing with wingers, Januzaj is a better option than Valencia and Young. The diamond with Herrera/Blind kept getting overwhelmed in midfield - it probably isn't the long term solution.A diamond with one of Herrera/Mata in place of him?
