So he wont even be on the bench again tomorrow at home to Palace . Guess we have to hope we get drawn against Swindon in the league cup and then he might get subbed on in injury time if we are 3 up

Shouldn't have to wait till September/October to see Gomes when you've got someone as ineffective as Lingard playing every week.
Might get his first start debut during end of this month for his 19th birthday.

Told you bed wetters that this would be the case, but did you listen? Nooooo(!)
Why do we have to wait for the youth when we have Lingard & Mata literally wasting everyone's time every week? I really don't get it.
I hope the same impatience from fans won't show up when he's getting chances and not impressing or in poor form.
Just from reading the thread, there seems to be some kind of expectation placed on him to come in, immediately displace Mata, Pereira, and Lingard, and transform the entire attack.

Would love him to at least get a run out tomorrow, but I doubt he'll even make the squad again, unfortunately.
He couldn't do worse than Mata did last game. The guy's done, certainly in the Prem anyway.
True, but ultimately doesn't matter. If he does badly then they'll just want a new signing to replace him; that or they'll slate him and pile pressure on him. Same things they did for Rashford in the past.
He will be in the matchday squad in September for the cup games and Europa League, but how many starts and minutes he will get is anyones guess really. We wont see him in the league before that
Why would I or any others be impatient with upcoming talent? I have all the time in the world for young talent. James has been a breath of fresh air.
What i am not a fan of is seeing the same old faces who are supposed to be experienced first teamers and are clearly not good enough/never going to be good enough given the minutes over our youth who are more deserving of a chance at this point.
I don't think any fan would criticise the youth if they don't transform our attack in their first game. That is absurd.
Let's hope that is the case but Ole has told many fibs before.Tweet

Ole has said multiple things that haven't come to fruition. Let's wait and see before taking his word as gospel.Tweet

I honestly can’t think of a manager at United who has shown this much faith in the youth players in such a short time... yet is still criticised for not doing it enough.
Some of you are mental.

You don't have to think much. LVG showed a lot more faith in youngsters, a bit too much in my opinion.
In saying that, I do agree that many on here are getting their knickers in a twist over nothing. We will, play over 50 games this season and posters are moaning endlessly after two games. Gomes will get his chance, especially if Mata and Lingard keep up the mediocre performances.
Did he? This early into his tenure? I’m not sure if it is possible.
If I remember correctly, Rashford has gotten a ton of stick in the past, and he's still only 21! Same with Martial; and as we can see, the Dan James criticisms are already surfacing, after 1 start and 1 sub appearance, in which he scored.
Are you telling me you can't envision a situation where the same happens to our other youngsters? I myself can see it clear as day. It may not be you, but there definitely will be people very quick to slate them when usual youthful inconsistency appears.
Yep it's mad.
The idea that this forum is adapting of youngsters not playing well is HILARIOUS. Look at the shit McTominay, Chong and Rashford have got in the last year. Rashford has scored against every big club and plays for England and you get idiots calling him a Championship player. If Gomes come in for two games and was average, he’d be discarded right away.
He'll get his first start when the europa league or league cup roll around. If he performs well, hopefully he can win a place on the bench and build from there.
To be honest, with the squad so light in midfield it would be almost impossible not to give Gomes a fair few chances in midfield this season, and maybe Garner too
we're that short in numbers and quality

Yoi must be new around here.
If memory serves. What he did was go to the reserves during an injury crisis. Then if that player did well he continued with them. He rarely if ever started an academy player just put of the blue. Credit to him for sticking with them when they showed they could handle the first team
Angel will win it against Crystal Palace today
Deserves a place ahead of Lingard. He can't be worse.
We need creativity.
Feel like ole shit the bed playing lingard. Played it too safe. Feel like with a couple of changes we could have really gone after these.
Keep saying this Ole clearly does not rate Gomes he can't make it any more obvious. There's not a chance he will drop Lingard or Mata from the squad to give Gomes a chance.
The guy will be off next summer we have to accept this

It's not Lingard blocking him, it's Mata.
I cant understand this one, im trying to see the logic as to why Lingaards taking a spot in the matchday squad, im looking at end product, assists and goals he offers none. The only reason i can see why hes picked is his high pressing, Gomes would surely offer alot better link play in attack, with more assists, key passes and goal output. Surely Gomes isnt a lazy player and wont press.
Bit baffled really, he l leave, must be scratching his head

It's simple really. Either Ole rates Lingard very highly (very likely to be the case) or Ole doesn't rate Gomes that highly.
I dont know what annoys me more.. Lingard starting, Mata on the bench or Gomes not even part of the match selection.
And Pereira.
It doesn’t Mata.
Not even on the bench. Fecksake Ole.
So a performance that cried out for a player like Gomes to unlock a stubborn defence
Over to you Ole
Massive lack of creativity of clear cut chances

I’m just really happy we are protecting his development and are not throwing him in the deep-end against Crystal Palace at home. Maybe he can be on the bench in a cup game sometime in the future, that way he will get the right amount of experience he needs. After all, we can’t put any expectations on him.
Good job we don't need his creativity
For the love of god get him on the bench
