I'm sure he will. He has a great shot in him.If he adds goals to his game he could be an elite winger.

Nah think that was taken out of context a bit. He was praising his whole game and then mentioned him being probably the best defensive winger in the world and that quote grabbed the headlinesSolskajaer said this too but I'm not sure I agree. Kuyt and Park are people I'd consider defensive wingers. Whilst James is very disciplined with his tracking back, he seems to be just as effective creating chances. I think it's a bit of a disservice to label him a defensive winger.

I dunno, seemed to hit it pretty powerfully into Lingards face alrightWhat's happened to his ability to strike the ball with flight and power? In his first few games he was smashing the ball at the goal and putting good whipped crosses in, now everything he hits rolls along the ground with no power.
Indeed, and let's he honest he's too once dimensional to be consistent over a season. We definitely need to push the boat out for SanchoPoor game.
It happens sometimes.
Yeah I struggle with goals that are tap in being counted as a full goal, maybe we should introduce half goals.This is why I struggle with the “assist” stat. Seems bizarre to say he assisted today when it was a fairly simpls, straight forward pass.

To be fair, what you said was ridiculously daft.Good one
I struggle with the concept of assists in certain circumstances, nothing daft about that.To be fair, what you said was ridiculously daft.
This is bullshit, to be fair. Sure not all assists are of equal quality, but they're still vital. Yes it was an easy pass, but he could have taken another decision such as shoot himself or pass to another player.This is why I struggle with the “assist” stat.

I understand what you’re saying but its just something that baffles me sometimes (not always, see comment re KDB pass for Sterling today). It was never a big thing when I played unless it was something that created a goal.This is bullshit, to be fair. Sure not all assists are of equal quality, but they're still vital.

Here we go again..The guy is a pace merchant. His finishing is so poor. Should be a squad player at best like Lingard, McTominay etc.
Happens when youre young. Another issue for him is our squad makeup. This would have been a perfect game for him to come on as a sub at home, bring on his pace against a hopefully tiring team. Instead were having to play him pretty much every game / every minute due to lack of options.What's happened to his ability to strike the ball with flight and power?

A problem that all the people expected to create suffered from during the game. Him, Fred and mctominay kept trying to shoot from weird distances and angles instead of trying to pick out a pass.Needs a goal, he played today like he was desperate for one. To the detriment of the team.
