Could you not infer that he has also showed he doesn’t have the self control to succeed here. He gave away fouls, could have been sent off, and didn’t clear the admittedly awful pass from Maguire that led to a goal.
Feck me does this meme need to die.
Not really. Cantona kicked a fan and succeeded. Rooney and Beckham both got sent off for England, one for kicking Simeone and the other for stamping Ronaldo. Scholes always had a horrible challenge in him. Hannibal's a kid, he's young enough to learn when to rein it in and when to let it out.
Yes but you’ve cherry picked players who had bad temperaments who went on to succeed. No one is saying every player with a poor temperament will fail, but it’s a negative component. I’m not arguing that he will, or he won’t make it at Utd- clearly none of us know. I’m just making the point that in his 6 minute debut there are as many possible negatives as there are positives.
Well he didnt get sent off. He made 1 tackle worthy of a yellow, and 1 foul. That's it.
Yep, and as I say it’s impossible to predict. I’m surprised that what you saw in those six minutes gives you a certainty that he’ll be fine in terms of temperament. I’d say there is at the very least some wishful thinking that led you to that conclusion. But as you say, time will tell. Rooney and Scholes probably did have worse tempers, but that was masked, and perhaps accepted because they were both absolutely exceptional players. Same of Cantona. If he’s that good it will be worth the downside, but if he’s not at that level than you might as well sign Lee Cattermole.
A bit of fire is a good thing, imagine the player Martial would be if he had a bit of that.
It's not 6 minutes i'm making the judgement on, that's the point. Maybe you are, if that's all you've seen of him.
Agreed. I'd much rather have a player with some fire in them, than the guys we have now that look bored to death and don't want to be here.
Ok well we’ll see. I think he’ll be targeted if he becomes a regular first team player. Whether he reacts badly to that or not remains to be seen. Getting an early yellow for example, even if it doesn’t result in a sending off, changes the metric. He’s got to be careful.
He got kicked 100x worse in the reserves than he ever will in the premier league, I promise you that. His record wasn't that bad considering the treatment he used to get.
don't feed the troll
Each of our player should have started the game exactly like how Hannibal did..
An absolutely clueless post.Was going to say, not comparing him to Rooney in terms of ability at all, but if you brought teenage Wayne into that game at a similar time and similar circumstances, chances are you'd see a very similar attitude/risk of being sent off. The only difference is he would probably have given Maguire a right talking to for that hospital pass. That fire in their belly is part of what makes the player.
You can tell you’ve said something silly when someone puts one of those green laughing faces in response- it’s the sign they are just about to present a meticulously thought out argument.
Your post doesn't deserve one fella.
Utd need to be more aggressive, I agree. I just don’t see how it would have benefited you having multiple players on yellow cards early on in the game, which is what would have happened if all of your players started like Mejbri.
Why don't you mind your own business and let players and people in general enjoy what they like outside football. Obviously Pogba's new haircut every second month was always gonna be used against him when he was permanently injured or having a stinker of a game.
I’ll let other posters decide on that, but thanks for responding to me by saying a don’t deserve a response I guess?
Sure, but there’s no point in giving minutes to Lingard now.
That's a great way to put it.
It was a light hearted comment, not meant to be taken that seriously, although I do think he’d benefit from a haircut all the same.
Think he got fired up whilst watching from the bench. I've seen this young man play for under 23s and he has a great range of passing and is skillful on the ball. I think he could be part of team next season when Ten Hag takes over and sees him.

Agree not to the levels he did as wed have finished as a 5-a-side team, but we needed to make a fight of it, it never happened unti olthe game was effectively over. Ragnik has mentioned this several times over the last month or so himself, the lack of aggresion in our side
Why play talented youth when Lingard and Mata are available
He played for the under 23’s last night.
Haha I see this argument all the time. He played BECAUSE Ralf didn't want him. It's not like the U23 is an elite team where all the best players go and Ralf sits there "damn, I wish I could use this Wellens kid, he is world-class, but yeah, he must play in the U23 so sadly I can't use him".
My reply was based on he was selected last night because he was not chosen for squad today
