Well taken goal but thought he was disappointing on the ball. Lost possession way too much and not strong enough on the ball. When he receives the ball in his mind he should know what to do. Look at tiger or Mata for instance when receiving the ball. They have a picture in their head and execute it so well. Bit more of that please

Most likely due to not playing enough recently. It would help if he got a run of games now for his 'swagger' to return.

 

[Cheesy]

Pleased for him to get the goal. Had an okay game overall, with some nice moments on top of the goal. Obviously still has a lot in his game to develop, but definitely a positive showing for him.

 

[RuudTom83]

"he didn't have a great game" could be labeled at any of the attackers against Villa, the fact Januzaj scored makes his performance better than most, so i hope he keeps his place and gets another chance

 

[Cantona'sCollar]

On the left?

Memphis - Mata - Januzaj

Never mind - I misread it as if we were going to bring in Pedro.

 

[pocco]

If he is dropped for the next game then it beggars belief. First of all the question was why did he come from not playing at all against Spurs to then starting against Villa? It was a lot to ask for him to perform. If he's now dropped then questions need to be asked. He should be allowed a good run of games to show what he can do, not just one game from nothing.

 

[dirkey]

Another very poor half I thought. Either needs to be moved to the wing or taken off. Lost the ball numerous times.

 

[lem8sh]

We have a winger playing 10 and a 10 playing as a winger and we all wonder why both players struggle.

 

[FromTheBench]

He's done OK. Movement improving all the time.

But him and Rooney are too close most time

 

[SoCross]

Thought he started brightly enough but his head began to drop. Would have been a soft penalty but have seen them given for less!

 

[Raptori]

Thought his flicks and tricks were really good, the big problem with him is that he looks as light as a feather.

 

[ottosec]

Thought he's done well so far.

 

[NinjaZombie]

We have a winger playing 10 and a 10 playing as a winger and we all wonder why both players struggle.

I don't think Januzaj is a winger actually. I'm more comfortable with the fact that Van Gaal is playing him centrally.

 

[dirkey]

Thought he's done well so far.

Wow, really? I honestly must be watching a different game. Constantly either giving it away or getting knocked off the ball too easily.

 

[DWelbz19]

I thought he bulked up? He does still look pretty light.

 

[Raees]

Why does he look so weak.. his body strength used to be one of his best attributes.

 

[In Rainbows]

We have a winger playing 10 and a 10 playing as a winger and we all wonder why both players struggle.

Januzaj isn't a winger. He's played as an attacking midfielder all of his life until the last 2 years. I don't think they're struggling either.

 

[Glanville95]

Really weak at times. Shows too much of the ball to opposition defenders at times too.

 

[Mali_Zeus]

Nice start, faded after that.

 

[Varun]

Quite invisible so far.

 

[ottosec]

Wow, really? I honestly must be watching a different game. Constantly either giving it away or getting knocked off the ball too easily.

You probably are. Only thing I didn't like is that he can't seem to find good positions when we attack, he seems a bit static.

 

[JPRouve]

I like what he did, he will only get better if we play him regularly.

 

[shamans]

Is he still playing? How's he doing?

Also, he is not a winger. I get really frustrated when he plays on the wing.

 

[dirkey]

Badly. Needs to be taken off.

 

[dsch]

He fades after about half an hour, for some reason.

 

[kouroux]

I have never been convinced by him as a 10. He just isn't mature enough in his game for that role yet.

 

[In Rainbows]

I have never been convinced by him as a 10. He just isn't mature enough in his game for that role yet.

Really? He seems more immature as a winger always trying to dribble past players. As a 10 he seems more controlled only dribbling when he has to and generally being more in the game.

About the only thing he lacked today was a great pass to create that great scoring chance. He attempted it, but it barely didn't come off. I believe his touch compilation will reflect that. He didn't lose the ball anymore than the other players this time either so no idea why those complaints have come up again. Last match he obviously lost the ball a lot and was bullied. The only time you could say he was bullied was that one time he could have given himself a great opportunity to score.

 

[Ballache]

He just needs that extra bit of composure, but I'm glad he's going past people again.

 

[FromTheBench]

He was fine overall. Certainly improved over villa.

Still lacks bit of composure and ability to hold off people though. That will probably come.

 

[championo]

He needs to sort those over hit final passes out. I counted 3 promising attacks that he cocked up with Bebe type of passing.

 

[Raw]

Did well to begin with but faded out of the game. Again he's getting pushed about a bit too much.

 

[kundalini]

I thought he did ok. Similar standard to Mata and Rooney but way below Memphis. Had a few nice moments and a few poor touches too.

 

[Slevs]

Disappointing. Too slow, too wasteful with the ball.

 

[Offside]

A loan is just what he needs I think.

 

[marjen]

There's something there. It will click for him and then he'll be brilliant.

 

[In Rainbows]

I thought he did ok. Similar standard to Mata and Rooney but way below Memphis. Had a few nice moments and a few poor touches too.

This is how I felt. Similar to Mata and Rooney, but not close to Memphis who was the standout player.

 

[Amar__]

I thought he was good. Not through entire game but he'll get there eventually, some very good moments that neither of our attacking players offer at number ten.

 

[kouroux]

There were good opportunities for passes that he somehow fecked up.

 

[Escobar]

Final ball didn't come off but he just needs games games games. Let's see if LVG can afford giving him that in the no.10 position

 

[Cassidy]

I think he had a decent game, no need to be hyper critical. He made some mistakes, but he also did some very good things too and created a few chances.
More game time and I can see him being as good as Memphis, he definitely seems to have the talent and we know he has an eye for goal

 

[drmuji]

Disappointing. Too slow, too wasteful with the ball.

Give him time. He is making the right runs, but since he is so match unfit so his range of passing is a bit off. I thought his off the ball movements were really really good today, unfortunately on the ball he was average but so was rooney and maybe mata as well

 

[wiz4231]

He played well, kept the ball better, great with the ball at his feet and made some good passes into space still needs to improve.
