Funny I thought he was playing well when he did have the ball. I take the point that he hasn't been on it enough though.
He missed a simple pass 10 minutes ago so that's why this was bumped but fail to see everything else he's been doing. He's been fine imo.Funny I thought he was playing well when he did have the ball. I take the point that he hasn't been on it enough though.
Being 'fine' is literally the reason we're 6th. It's not good enough, needs to be doing a lot lot more as one of our main attacking players.He missed a simple pass 10 minutes ago so that's why this was bumped but fail to see everything else he's been doing. He's been fine imo.
He was regarded as one of the best players in BL before we bought him, I'm expecting a bit more than fine from a player of that stature.

I think it's mentality/personality. He seems brutally passive/timid at times.The more I see of him the more I'm convinced he's little more than a marginal upgrade on Lingard by which I mean that he strikes me as a player that either doesn't have the ability or mentality to be the primary creator in a team but will improve a team that is already playing well. Something of an auxiliary attacker if you will.
Hopefully we get that sort of player in the summer and Mhki strikes up a good relationship with him quickly.
If you look at the season as a whole I think Lingard has been better. Mkhitaryan's best form has been in Europe against weak sides. In the PL he is virtually ineffective against sides that sit in. I actually think he would have been better last week if he had started against Everton as they played a bit and gave us some space.The more I see of him the more I'm convinced he's little more than a marginal upgrade on Lingard by which I mean that he strikes me as a player that either doesn't have the ability or mentality to be the primary creator in a team but will improve a team that is already playing well.

Seems to be no pattern to where he and Jesse are playing. I don't think that's intentional and a bit disjointed.Funny I thought he was playing well when he did have the ball. I take the point that he hasn't been on it enough though.
There seems to be an element of that. Doesn't seem to talk much on the pitch either.I think it's mentality/personality. He seems brutally passive/timid at times.
Love itYou guys were saying?
Our new BerbaGreat finish. His reaction sums him up doesn't it? Mr. Serious.
