Don't think playing out wide does him any favors.
Well at least his crosses are 90% better than anyone in our team.
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.
I think that's a fair point, I always expect a quality ball from him.
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.
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.

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".
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.
