One thing I can't get my head around is how bad his crossing is. How do you lose that, or at least let it drop to the levels it is at now? As a winger he was always able of putting it in a dangerous area. Now its either hitting the first man or ending up a throw in on the other side of the pitch.

Surely its not from a lack on training/practice?

Maybe because, by the time he gets into a crossing position, hes mentally tired and just hits and hopes...
I dunno. Hes defo regressed and he wasnt even world class to begin with. He was solid (and that was last year on the left). Hes now on the right, meaning he cant cut back and whip it in. Think that affects him.

 

[Jev]

I know he's captain and all but seriously, is there no limit to how utterly useless and downright damaging you can be without being dropped as long as you're carrying the armband?

 

[Chairman Steve]

Only 3 more games to go of him hopefully being the starting right back.

 

[Desert Eagle]

How is he still starting

 

[Mister_Stubbs]

How is he still starting

Because we have a manager who clearly can’t see what we all can see.

 

[Big Ben Foster]

How is he still starting

Because the alternative is Darmian, who is even worse.

 

[UncleBob]

Last time Young didn't start, people were asking for him to come on at half time.

 

[Red Stone]

Have a feeling this thread is going to be good fun in two hours time.

 

[Wilfred Brown]

two good corner crosses but i hate to see his aimless hoof ball and watching him taking our throw ins!

 

[el3mel]

I don't think anyone will top him as the worst United captain, ever yeah I mean it.

His set pieces were weirdly good today.

Overall he was fine

 

[Big Ben Foster]

Gabriel Heinze captained United a few times.

 

[el3mel]

Gabriel Heinze captained United a few times.

Well he wasn't a permanent captain unlike Young.

 

[Isotope]

He's lucky Higuain was shite in finishing. Otherwise I'm afraid that he had to close his twitter account permanently.

 

[Big Ben Foster]

Well he wasn't a permanent captain unlike Young.

Neither is Young. Valencia is our club captain. So try again.

 

[el3mel]

Neither is Young. Valencia is our club captain. So try again.

Young has captained us the entire season, not just for a game or 2.

 

[M Bison]

Thought he had a decent game today to be fair.

 

[Desert Eagle]

He should retire

 

[Devil may care]

This thread feels like running on a Hamster wheel at this point, so poor on the ball.

 

[R'hllor]

New contract, good decision, well done.

 

[FootyGirl88]

He makes me sick.

 

[Red_toad]

Did pretty well against Hazard. Not sure why this thread is up and running, maybe it's as Smalling didn't play so there's a need to complain not being fulfilled.

 

[klayton88]

The best bit was when he called Mata over for the most pointless decoy step over on a FK I've ever seen, just for him to hit the first defender like he normally does. Why is he on FKs?

He hit some excellent dead balls today?? We nearly scored from two of them!

 

[kundalini]

Did ok, just about. Managed to find a red shirt more often than usual.

I've still got 0/11 completed against Barca in my head.

 

[PlayerOne]

Besides his shit crossing, pointless long-balls and shit defending, his throw-ins wind me up. Takes ages, looks around, options open up and he just ignores him. Just a bad player all around.

 

[Web of Bissaka]

Think he did fine this time -- decent game.
Two consecutive games and safe to say he's back to his usual acceptable form.
Well I mean we know how he is and where his level is at.

Long balls and crossing are still generally typical of Young, nothing new.

 

[Canagel]

When will he stop shouting at other people for his own mistake?

 

[Hawks2008]

The king of passing backwards.

Disgusted at the sight of him with the armband week in week out.

 

[Tiber]

I don't think anyone will top him as the worst United captain, ever yeah I mean it.

Valencia has to be pretty close. Both are woeful

 

[WR10]

Can anyone post a video compilation of all the times he twitched and hesitated to dump the ball aimlessly forward?

 

[R'hllor]

He would be a great linesman

 

[Luke1995]

Ashley Young, longest serving player in the squad, undisputed starter, soon to be 34 years old, just got a brand new contract, captain of Manchester United.

Reading that, if you started following football yesterday, you would think he is a legend in the making wouldn't you ?

Another bad performance against the last team in the league.

 

[Devil may care]

Pointed to his head a couple of times after we conceded.......yeah, that was about it.

 

[Giant Midget]

Utter garbage. I take shits with more quality than him.

 

[red4ever 79]

CB now and captain.

 

[AJ10]

 

[Annihilate Now!]

Was our second most competent defender today hilariously
