Pure inexperience. Head and knee over the ball man! Infuriating.

Took his goal well, but generally his finishing is terrible, gets in the right positions but that's pointless if you don't finish. Let's hope that awful miss doesn't cost us.

How do professional footballers, who have been training with the best since they were 12 years old mess up such a chance? I just don't get it.

Hitting the target in such a chance is surely mandatory for even progressing into the U18s!!!!

It's not just one either, he's missed a fair few sitters this season.

Lucky with his first, through the keepers legs(I personally don't think he mean't it) and then that miss.

In his defence he's still young and we shouldn't be in a position where we're depending upon him.

I can think of another striker who used to play for the club who was shipped out after a horrible miss. He's lighting up the Bundesliga with goals right now.

Lingard's finishing is a weak spot, but I hate to see the manager's reaction and the substitution after this one. He does contribute to the team and I'm not ready to dismiss him because he hasn't put away a few quality chances that would have helped us win.

Really, really didn't like that from LVG.

He didn't miss it on purpose, why punish him by subbing him off?

Van Gaal is going to hang him out for dry if we don't win this. It's quite sad actually.

His miss was just as crucial as Fellaini's, he's been guilty of a fair few glaring misses this season.

He summed up a young player's performance all in one.

Lovely touches, energy and finish at times. Poor touches, decisions and finishes at others.

Still prefer him to Januzaj.

Good movement off the ball and took his goal well, but LvG is gonna roast his nuts for that miss, don't think I've seen him so animated on our bench.

Had a good game, shame about the miss but it happens.....he wasnt the only one that missed a good chance. Rooney missed 1v1 in the first half, Fellaini missed a great chance, Rooney cant go past Coloccini in tons of space where he has an open way to the goal(not a dig on Rooney, was a MOTM).
We didnt win the game because of Jesse, not because he missed a good chance but because we were weaker side after he went out, he shut down Janmaat for 60 or how many minutes he played and after he went out, Janmaat started playing like fecking Maicon and Newcastle looked a much better side going forward.

still better than Mata, should have scored thats for sure, but so should rooney on twice occasions and fellaini which ones was a bigger sitter for me.. in addition to lingard you could see this passage of game when we were combining really well when he got to the middle of the park and close to herrera, thats what is his strength but we are still using him as winger, he's best at looking for those little pockets and havign one twos with palyers and to make eventually a run into box but we are far from synce with how he palys so unfortunately he's only recognized as a youngish winger who likes to run and always scores and always miss, he's much more than that
