What's everybody's thoughts on this lad then?

He seems okay and looks like he wants to get forward quite a bit. Can't see him getting ahead of Darmian or Varela though.

 

[Rado_N]

You mean Douglas?

 

[MyOnlySolskjaer]

Awful.

 

[Mciahel Goodman]

Not good enough. But it's not his fault the squad is so light.

 

[NinjaFletch]

You know those dreams where you're naked in front of a room of people, giving a speech about a topic you don't understand?

This performance is the football equivalent of that dream.

Hard not to feel sorry for him, he's so far out of his depth.

 

[Minimalist]

Not good.

Not his fault though - he was never ready.

 

[Sandikan]

certainly not his fault bearing in mind he's been thrown in, and is probably 6th choice right back

Darmian, Valencia, Jones,Varela, Young

 

[Annihilate Now!]

Yeah, he's not very good.

Really poor on that second goal.

 

[Glory Glory Denis Irwin]

He is pretty appalling to be honest. Shouldn't be anywhere near our team.

 

[Classical Mechanic]

A horrible performance but he shouldn't be in this team. Can't be too hard on him.

 

[Robbie Boy]

What the feck is this guy doing getting a start for us. Feck me our standards have dropped so much in recent years. But I guess it's another youngster that LvG has brought through, right?

 

[Sammyjunn]

Cant fault his effort but not good enough.

 

[Beachryan]

Awful. I mean, he is about our 17th choice, but still. We're Manchester United, surely even our youth standards should be a bit higher quality?

 

[Snow]

There are 14 players out injured of which half are full backs. That's why.

 

[finneh]

Another mere number on the conveyer belt of mediocrity coming from our academy in the last 20 years.

 

[Godfather]

How do those guys even play for our youth? How far off being good enough can one be?

 

[Robbie Boy]

There are 14 players out injured of which half are full backs. That's why.

I couldn't give a feck. We have given games to far too many players that are nowhere near good enough in recent years.

 

[Gopher Brown]

At least he showed a bit of fecking effort tonight, even if he is shite.

 

[Litch]

Hard to judge a player under these circumstance. That might just have ruined his career here....

 

[limerickcitykid]

I couldn't give a feck. We have given games to far too many players that are nowhere near good enough in recent years.

So whats the solution have 10 first choice fullbacks?

 

[Robbie Boy]

Great contribution. Well done lad.

 

[Stringer]

Thank God Van Gaal's our manager. If we had Mourinho, a talent like this would have never had a chance.

 

[limerickcitykid]

Great contribution. Well done lad.

You are the one bitching that our 7th choice RB isn't good enough. If its such a problem, I want to hear your solution.

 

[Bwuk]

Id rather of played Schneiderlin at right back.

 

[Robbie Boy]

You are the one bitching that our 7th choice RB isn't good enough. If its such a problem, I want to hear your solution.

Well the thread is about him so I'll express my opinion that he's shit in said thread. Make sense?

 

[Robbie Boy]

Id rather of played Schneiderlin at right back.

Yup or even Herrera.

 

[Irrational.]

He's a victim of circumstance. I feel sorry for him, he doesn't deserve to make his debut in these conditions.

 

[limerickcitykid]

Well the thread is about him so I'll express my opinion that he's shit in said thread. Make sense?

Great contribution. Well done lad.

 

[MadDogg]

Attacking-wise he's done a few good things, but I certainly haven't been impressed with his defensive side of things.

 

[Robbie Boy]

Great contribution. Well done lad.

Thanks

 

[Devil may care]

I thought he did fine against Sunderland but he struggled tonight, but given the shower of shit going on around him from more seasoned players I think it's harsh to be overly critical of him, he at least looked up for the fight which is more than can be said for several others.

 

[Walters_19_MuFc]

He's been thrown into a team very low on confidence, despite playing pretty well in the last few games, except the Sunderland game and tonight. May not turn out to be good enough for us, but its his second game (1st start) for us, and if we're being honest, he wouldn't be playing if we didn't have so many injuries.

That said, Borthwick Jackson was someone quite a few weren't keen on when he first come into the team. Since he's had a run of games, his confidence has grown, and he's actually looked very promising.

 

[khoazany]

Even though I never thought he's good enough, that was a strange performance.Looks like he couldn't cope with the pressure.Didn't help that the senior players were also struggling.

 

[facund]

Can't think of a worse time for a young lad to have his first start in the team. Away in Europe in an already injury plagued side bereft of direction and leadership, where most of the players look like they couldn't really give a sh*t about the result.

It was a sketchy performance from him but then again he didn't stand out as being particularly sh*tter than most of his team mates.

 

[Offside]

There's just no doubt in 5 years you'll have a look and he'll be at Morecambe. Harsh but true (well, might make a decent player but not good enough for us). Our academy keeps serving up average players these days.

 

[a_devil_inside]

He tried at least, but wasn't very good at it.

 

[MAME DIOUF 32]

The Donald Love from GTA3 is probably a better player and he's just a poorly drawn polygon figure.

This sums it up for me, unfortunate timing.

 

[Winrar]

not good enough but not his fault

CBJ looks better if we're comparing full backs

 

[Snow]

Yup or even Herrera.

Herrera can't defend and he's never played there. He would look completely lost. He looked worse in his normal position than Love did on his debut.
