How could anyone ever find this guy annoying?
Exactly. The fecker could have knuckled down and done a Ronaldo by getting a team of people around him dedicated to his improvement - in depth game analysts, nutritionists, sleep experts etc. - but unless he's kept it secret (unlikely the fecking gobshite), I don't think he has. It's not like that's a crazy ask considering the amount they're on and how much free time they have. I doubt many give that much of a shit, but it's on them if they're a bit pap at football, have all the resources in the world, and don't do anything about it.This "it's not his fault he's not good enough" line that keeps being thrown around is pure bullshit.
He's got good movement and handles the ball well. He never had a major injury and got the ideal body frame for his role.
It's 100% on him that he didn't improve his shooting, passing and decision making in the many years he plays for one of the biggest clubs in the world. That's what happens when a football player's focus is set on being a Kardashian instead of self improvement.
That vid was from last Jan when we beat Arsenal and he celebrated his goal ala pied piper impersonatorThat's not from today, right?
Nah he wouldn't. Rooney was past it. Especially for 300k per week.We should have sold Lingard and kept Rooney.
I jest, but I’d bet money that a semi retired Rooney would still out perform Lingard, Mata and Pereira in the 10 role.
He still scored 25 goals in his last 3 seasons with us. Better than those three combined these last few years.Nah he wouldn't. Rooney was past it. Especially for 300k per week.
Seems people have short memories at how bad Rooney was in the last 3 years here
I'd rather have the present version of Rooney than Lingard (and yes Rooney was awful towards the end of his stay with us.)He still scored 25 goals in his last 3 seasons with us. Better than those three combined these last few years.
I was only being semi serious by the way
Yeh. He's more than happy to sign that massive contract. Why couldn't he be expected to perform?Exactly.

Bingo. He's done jack**** to improve himself since breaking into the first team, and that's a preventable failing, not inescapable genetic destiny .This "it's not his fault he's not good enough" line that keeps being thrown around is pure bullshit.

Lingard is better than current Rooney. 5 years contract extension incoming. He's still young anyway.He still scored 25 goals in his last 3 seasons with us. Better than those three combined these last few years.

Come on now, he's not that bad, even if he's not having the best of times. And it's not like our team is over-flowing with terrific options you can have your pick of them.Absolute rubbish, Lingards a terrible player, an attacking player that struggles to control or pass a football aswel as being one of the main culprits of the toxic environment in the playing squad. He embodys everything thats wrong with our team, not a victim of it.
He's no world beater but he'd a really useful player in a functional team. We haven't had that in many years now. Sir Alex made use of a lot less talented individuals than Lingard. No point in hating him, we should hate all the poor decisions that led to the overall poor performances of the squad. If you gave me to compile a list of players to get rid Pogba would always be well ahead of Lingard in it. And few others, but I am not wanting to pass a judgment too soon, that's manager's job.
I never said he is doing well, if we were a better team he probably wouldn't start games, but people want a scapegoat in a player who is not to blame for our problems. He would have been a decent contributor in a team that is capable of playing well. If he left us, even for a worse club, he'd probably flourish, the demands would be lower and fans would be more supportive. He was starting for England at the World Cup in a very decent team, he can't be that sh*t can he?!
Let's face it, over the years we've become a toxic environment for young talents due to our failing policies regarding the way the club is run. Solskjaer is at least trying to change that image, but the image is strong, we'd never lose out on a player to Dortmund the way we did with Haaland if it wasn't for the negative image about developing players we've created about ourselves.
Years of success may have played the part in it, people lost patience quickly if a player isn't an instant hit, and I know Lingard can't be considered young talent for years now, but I think he was the victim of a system that was wrong. I trust Ole to change that.
And again, even though you keep ignoring the question, what qualities does the useless little git bring, he cant pass, can't score, can't tackle, hides from the ball, causes moves to break down time after time after time, but he's English and runs a bit. He is utterly hopeless and about as welcome as a fart in a space suit. In the 30 odd years I've been a utd supporter I've not seen a more pointless player. When he starts it's like beginning the match with 10 men. He played for England, the same england that hasn't won anything of note in over 53 years and regularly started Emile sodding heskey..... WOW he MUST be good then.Come on now, he's not that bad, even if he's not having the best of times. And it's not like our team is over-flowing with terrific options you can have your pick of them.
We once had Darren Fletcher, very untalanted lad but has won many trophies with United because he the system was working and he had the passion for the game. Lingard too has passion, he's homegrown so we need him for numbers and he's also England's representative player, not a bad CV. I'd like it if we had so many options that you can just ignore him because of all the quality we have, but that's not the case right now, and I am not about to jump on the bandwagon to blame one player when the issues have mounted over the years, mainly for poor picks of managers.
I would still downplay most of that to lack of quality. Don't get me wrong. I still think that he's hiding a lot for a #10 at United. No doubt. But I don't think he dissapears in matches as much as say a player like Shaw. Shaw shows a lot less urgency and seems to be happy to just play the ball to the side or back 9 times out of 10. I get that they play different positions with different possibilities of imposing themselves. But when we are struggling to break down teams, our fullbacks is on the ball often, and could be the key to unlocking compact teams. Look at the best teams in the world. Their fullbacks are so important for their attack and ability to break down compact opponents. Yesterday Shaw, at several occasions, were walking around playing simple passes to the nearest man and showed little intention on getting forward or doing anything else than the most predictable. A couple of times he even stopped in promising positions just to play the ball backward. In addition, he was ball watching and totally unaware of opponents in the first goal.Name one then. Seriously. Name one player. In fact forget Manchester United Football Club, in the entire Premier League, name a player that imposes himself on the game less than Jesse Lingard. He is a starting #10 who has zero assists in more than a year; how is it possible to impose oneself on a match less than that? It isn't possible is the answer.
Of course he's that bad, he struggles to control or pass a football for gods sake. He's useless, his CV looks like 0 goals and 0 assists in a full calendar year of premier league football. The scary thing is, his woeful stats dont tell the whole story, he's even worse than they suggest.Come on now, he's not that bad, even if he's not having the best of times. And it's not like our team is over-flowing with terrific options you can have your pick of them.

Are you seriously comparing Lingard to Fletcher?Come on now, he's not that bad, even if he's not having the best of times. And it's not like our team is over-flowing with terrific options you can have your pick of them.

Gomes is leaving on a free at the end of the seasonAngel Gomes must be so pissed not to get a chance. Perhaps we'll sell him to Juventus and buy him for 150m in a few years.
I'd like LFC and MCFC to have a team of Lingards playing for them.I would also like Lingard if he played for a team that Manchester United competed against...
which would explain likely why he is nowhere near the teamGomes is leaving on a free at the end of the season
