Is it just me or does he look like one of our best crossers? Not saying much but..
I agree. Running style or build can make people look faster than they actually are.A few people has stated now that Evra was faster than Shaw. I'm not so sure about that, Shaw's pace is ridiculous.
I personally liked Blackett but I think spending too much time in the gym affects his agility and ruined his progression as a player.To be fair, I remember one lad on here had a hard on for Blackett.
After Martial and when he was fit, Shaw was too, really. Nobody else in the side can drive powerfully with pace and cause defenders to commit like these mentioned can.watching that video makes me think that Evra would probably be the most skilful attacking threat in our team right now (as misleading as you tube clips may be)
I definitely concur. I like his composure on the ball too.Is it just me or does he look like one of our best crossers? Not saying much but..
His crosses remind me of a pre number 7 Valencia. He drills them in dangerous areas - it's a shame no one gets to the end of them.Is it just me or does he look like one of our best crossers? Not saying much but..
He certainly tries to get a good pace and whip on them. Sometimes he will blast the ball into row z but that's the price we should be willing to pay to get a great ball in once in a while.Is it just me or does he look like one of our best crossers? Not saying much but..

Will soon be coached out of him.Is it just me or does he look like one of our best crossers? Not saying much but..
You are a fun person to be around im sureWill soon be coached out of him.
This. I did notice him playing on Sunday. Meaning that he was doing his jobConsidering his age and inexperience, I have been impressed by Borthwick-Jackson. I do not think he looks significantly worse at left back than anyone besides Shaw. Rojo plays the role better, but Borthwick-Jackson has more pace and has time to mature when it comes to game management/judgement calls. I actually feel we'd be better served giving him a run at left back, so that Darmian can play on his natural foot.
Very wellLet's just say they're both fast as feck and for the record I love Evra, for me better than Irwin. So I won't have any didn't see enough of Evra bullshit, I've probably seen 95 % of his United matches.
Ashley Young and Luke Shaw became worse crossers of the ball since joining us. Valencia too.You are a fun person to be around im sure
Valencia's problems date back to much earlier than Van Gal.Ashley Young and Luke Shaw became worse crossers of the ball since joining us. Valencia too.
Its not a Van Gaal issue. Its a United issue.. totally agree that under LVG there has been improvement but compared to his Villa days where he was the best crosser in the league.. been a drop in quality.Valencia's problems date back to much earlier than Van Gal.
Ashley young has arguably become better under Van Gal than under Fergie or Moyes.
I seem to recall him being good in his first 6 months, then it dropped a lot.Its not a Van Gaal issue. Its a United issue.. totally agree that under LVG there has been improvement but compared to his Villa days where he was the best crosser in the league.. been a drop in quality.
I really highly doubt its either.Its not a Van Gaal issue. Its a United issue.. totally agree that under LVG there has been improvement but compared to his Villa days where he was the best crosser in the league.. been a drop in quality.

Against Chelsea (hit a bit too hard but still one of the better crosses I've seen from our fullbacks since Shaw got injured):
Not really. Anyone would tell you just how good a crosser he once was.. he was in everyones PL Fantasy team and would rack up assist points like crazy. Playing for a bigger team there is added pressure, granted but the rest of his game hasn't been that bad.. it was crossing which completely deserted him for a while. He seems decent at it again now but nowhere near what it once was.I really highly doubt its either.
I think its just a perception issue. You remember the failures more when they play for United because they annoy you, whereas you only remember their successes for other teams.
Not a fan of BJ?Could we actually call him Cameron Jackson? So we could cut it to CJ?
Depends if I'm the one on the receiving end!Not a fan of BJ?
Well said!The only positive that can be taken from today's mess is CBJ's performance, I liked those inside channel passes he played 2 or 3 times, he seems a smart player.
Miles better than McNair. Looks a great talent.He's been a bright spark in this shitshow of a team. Kinda like McNair last season actually, but he seems more composed.
Yeah spot on.The only positive that can be taken from today's mess is CBJ's performance, I liked those inside channel passes he played 2 or 3 times, he seems a smart player.
Yeah, going to expand on this before people slate him for not doing anything going forward. He was playing as a wingback today, not a full back. The main issue with a 3-5-2 is you need specialists in every position...quick aggressive CB's good on the ball, very complete centre forwards and wingbacks that can hold down a whole wing by themselves, attacking and defensively. Only a few players around can actually play well as a wingback....Lichsteiner, Alex Sandro, Alves, Marcelo, Alaba etc. Good stuff from Jackson again today, when he adjusts to the speed of 1st team football passing wise, and gains a few pounds, he can be an excellent option for us.Having a player in front of him to pass to would help.
Always belong in a higher bracket than the likes of McNair in the youth team/U21s tbh so not much of a surprise.Miles better than McNair. Looks a great talent.
Its just such a stupid decision. You have an 18 year old who has hardly played at u21 level let alone first team level so what do you do? Give him the whole left side of the pitch to play by himself. Who the feck could think that would be a good idea? CBJ did alright but you're never going to get anything productive trying to set up like that.Yeah, going to expand on this before people slate him for not doing anything going forward.
