Don't think playing out wide does him any favors.
I think that's a fair point, I always expect a quality ball from him.Well at least his crosses are 90% better than anyone in our team.
He's arguably even worse centrally though.Agree with those saying he looks a bit lost out wide, much prefer him central.
Really can't make my mind up on him. He is great off the ball but on the ball he seems so inconsistent, has a good right foot but can be very sloppy.
Rather have younger players from our academy than any of these three.Can't compare him to lingard. The last two games he has laid guilt edged chances on the plate for his team mates. Rojo during the counter last night and Mata against westham. Would rather have him in the team than Mata or Lingard, not that it says much though.
Gomes and Mata are better.He's arguably even worse centrally though.
MEN gave 4 players a 3/10 rating for last night: Jones, Pereira, Fred, Lingard. Why he's still here: he's the youngest of the 4. You can't sack him until you've replaced him with better. At least he can deliver a dead ball.His touch is loose and his awareness whenever he played centrally is just poor.
The reality is, he shouldn't be playing at all.
That ball to Rojo in particular. Can't remember a United player in recent memory attempted that.I think that's a fair point, I always expect a quality ball from him.
No he doesn’t.Pereira has more ability than Lingard, I think that is clear to see. His problem is still confidence. He has shown promising signs, and despite not doing a whole lot in that Rochdale game I could see improvements in his game. He is absolutely not a winger though.
He's a far superior passer, dribbler, vision and they have about the same workrate. Only thing you can say about Lingard is off the ball movement.No he doesn’t.
League 1 level neither.I hope he donated his wages to the young Rochdale lad after letting him ghost in like that - the dopey fecker. You just cannot lapse like that at the highest level.
Come back when he achieves even half of what Lingard has. Andreas is one of the worst midfielders we have had in years.He's a far superior passer, dribbler, vision and they have about the same workrate. Only thing you can say about Lingard is off the ball movement.
Its just our opinions, but I could not disagree more. To me, Lingard is preferable on the right and in the middle.He's a far superior passer, dribbler, vision and they have about the same workrate. Only thing you can say about Lingard is off the ball movement.
Sadly this can be said for most of our players.I don't understand what he excels at. There is no facet to his game which I look at and think "ah, so that's why he's starting".
He can cross, take a free kick and is OK at corners.I don't understand what he excels at. There is no facet to his game which I look at and think "ah, so that's why he's starting".
Lingard gets destroyed every week. Andreas is dog shit.He hasn’t been doing as badly as Lingard, but unfortunately he is not British so he will get thrown under the bus even if he plays much better than Lingard.
He should be playing centrally.
