The only player out there who looked bitterly disappointed.
I see few people praising him too and I don't get it. All he is good at lately is passing the ball to fullback. It's incredible how easy he is to stop when he is cutting inside, I think even Valencia is more dangerous when cutting inside than him.Man of the match? Righto. Zero end product yet again. Just another typical Young performance. He should have scored but didn't and not one cross met a United player. Waste.
We're saying this every week. What good are these dangerous crosses if they're not good enough to land on a player's head or boot?Best player there. You can say "none of his crosses hit anyone" but they were dangerous.

He's a winger at one of the biggest clubs in world football and we're seriously impressed at the fact he beats his man once or twice and whips a ball into a box that inevitably gets cleared. It's not a charity.
Spot on. Another average performance from Young. But, hey, as long as he can pass the ball sideways and keep those "dangerous" balls coming in, why complain?We're saying this every week. What good are these dangerous crosses if they're not good enough to land on a player's head or boot?

Agreed. We need di Maria to step up though.We're saying this every week. What good are these dangerous crosses if they're not good enough to land on a player's head or boot?

Aye, the standards have dramtically fallen at this club. No wonder Fellaini, Valencia and Young are our current heroes.We're saying this every week. What good are these dangerous crosses if they're not good enough to land on a player's head or boot?

I thought that too but also Young tends to need to control the ball, that has actually happened a few times this season from my memory and so I wasn't surprised. It's one of the things he needs to work on in the summer because in the possession system we will find teams parking the bus often and there will be those types of chances were a shot hits the keeper with power and he manages to parry it to the side a bit but it will fall into the path of one of our wide players.Am I the only one who thinks that he really should have scored from RVP's rebound? All he had to do was to hit it first time.
And I don't get why are so many people voting him as our MotM. I agree that he is now playing better than the garbage that he used to put up in the past but this is no way a good performance. It was average at best. A starting winger for a top club should have more than 2 goals and 3 assists too. What's the point of "putting some dangerous balls in" if they never results in anything?
I disagree completely about Young, thought he put several good crosses and it just highlighted our lack of ariel threat in the boxBoth his and Valencia's crossing is woeful. I've been on about this all season, but there's no intention with them. It appears to be a percentage based hit and hope rather than them getting their head up and setting the centre forward up. Not that it would matter though because the overall ability and technique is pub football standard. How these two can float useless cross after useless cross all game every game is beyond me. How many are caught? How many go to nobody and are easily cleared? How many go miles over everyone and end up on the opposite wing? How bloody hard can it be??
In fairness, he's been good by any standards. He and Smalling were the only two to emerge with much credit yesterday.The fact that Ashley Young, a winger who can barely beat a man or put in a cross that reaches a team mates head, currently looks like our most threatening attacking player tells you everything you need to know about how utterly shocking we've been in the last 2 games.
Tell me more about these crosses. Does Valencia actually complete crosses?Both his and Valencia's crossing is woeful. I've been on about this all season, but there's no intention with them.

Pretty much this. There is no link up play, no dribble past the defender and, worst of all, never a quality cross. He had a great game against City but other than that he just lacks qualityHe isn't good enough. I have no idea why the caf have had a love fest for him lately.
No other side in the top 4 would have him - he's bang average.
Did you put it there?How apt. Unwanted and lying on the ground
And most important, his work rate is fecking fantastic.He's been pretty good all season apart from a few periods where everyone was shit. He's so much more than goals and assists, especially considering how much of our attacking outlet is down to him. His lack of assists isn't all his fault either when he's being put in one or two great crosses every game. It's not his fault some of our players can't put the ball in the back of the net.
