[All 3 United]

I am not sure how he's playing professional football.

 

[Scarecrow]

Baffling why he's still on the pitch. Why play him for 80 minutes when it's clear it's not his day and we've got Memphis and Januzaj on the bench?

 

[Cheesy]

I get that Depay's been a bit rubbish for us, but what has Lingard done to warrant being ahead of Januzaj in the pecking order?

 

[Mister_Stubbs]

Championship player at best, shouldn't be anywhere near the first team.

 

[Nighteyes]

I get that Depay's been a bit rubbish for us, but what has Lingard done to warrant being ahead of Januzaj in the pecking order?

In fairness to LVG, Januzaj is probably not fit enough and can't play wing back. Although why we're playing 3 at the back bemuses me

Aye, Lingard has no merit as a wing-back either.

 

[ivaldo]

He's been woeful today, he's creating nothing. Memphis isn't playing great but he'll occasionally creates something.

 

[drdoityourself]

Jesus....why is he still on?

 

[Amar__]

He's been woeful today, he's creating nothing. Memphis isn't playing great but he'll occasionally creates something.

Memphis is never played out of position though. And literally everyone is terrible today.

 

[ivaldo]

Memphis is never played out of position though. And literally everyone is terrible today.

He's been poor the last few weeks. He's young so inconsistency can be expected.

 

[Amar__]

He's been poor the last few weeks. He's young so inconsistency can be expected.

Yeah, I don't understand why he started today in the first place.

 

[WyoManU]

Not nearly good enough it seems...too bad for him.

 

[Robbie Boy]

Whatever about today, the chap is just shit.

 

[Zoo]

I know Jesse is not a wingback but even Antonio Valencia would laugh at his crossing today. Awful.

 

[sdb4884]

A championship attacking mid at best.

 

[kouroux]

Yeah, I don't understand why he started today in the first place.

And why he wasn't replaced.

 

[MyOnlySolskjaer]

Makes Valencia and Navas's crossing look like Beckham.

 

[Classical Mechanic]

A championship attacking mid at best.

I think he would be a good impact substitute for Premier League relegation fodder personally.

 

[bosnian_red]

Bit useless. He's a decent player but nowhere near our level

 

[Irrational.]

No where near a United quality player - he simply does a job.

 

[Devil may care]

Had a stinker today, he was playing out of position but that doesn't excuse how many simple basics he failed to get right.

 

[#07]

Couldn't cross at a set of traffic lights today.

 

[Dobba]

Fantastic performance. A real shame Van Gaal insisted on calling his mother a slapper, over the PA system, everytime he got the ball to put him off. He'd have been all over those highly technical facets of the game like passing the ball to a team mate without his insults.

 

[Raw]

Fecking dreadful once again. He shouldn't be starting so many games for us.

 

[dichinero]

Had a stinker today, he was playing out of position but that doesn't excuse how many simple basics he failed to get right.

Well put!

 

[eggwithsideburns]

I would like to see what his passing % was today, he gave the ball away nearly every time.

 

[VorZakone]

Barca/Bayern/Real are pissing themselves watching Man Utd insisting on Lingard.

 

[Walters_19_MuFc]

Played out of position and had an awful game. Shock!

 

[Cutch]

Incredible how he played the full game today. Abysmal

 

[Annihilate Now!]

And I thought his performance against Liverpool was bad...

 

[Robbie Boy]

Played out of position and had an awful game. Shock!

Yeah let's excuse the fact that he couldn't do basic football things right because he was played out of position. He's also looked rather hopeless and mediocre while playing in his actual position.

 

[wiz4231]

Played out of position and had an awful game. Shock!

Played out of position for 5 minutes?

 

[Ole's_toe_poke]

Played out of position and had an awful game. Shock!

And what position has he ever excelled in?

He's as average as they come. The only thing he offers is that he can run fast from time to time.

 

[kouroux]

Baffling why he's still on the pitch. Why play him for 80 minutes when it's clear it's not his day and we've got Memphis and Januzaj on the bench?

He finished the match.

 

[m1y2]

he played as wingback, which is restricted position, wasnt a good game for him but still level above rooney.. And you people are really shambles some of you, try Blind as left winger and you'l see his limitations, try Martial as leftback and see how he copes with the role... Lingard is CAM but obviously that chimp who supposed to be our manager doesnt know shit about football and tries everything he can to keep that joke captain in the team and we are stacked there. Try him in three man midfield in more fluid system with good pressing and he will thrive, this is just really stupid to keep him wide where he's quite limited

I fail to understand how playing at wing back can make you automatically cross so poorly. I'm sure but I don't see it.

 

[Anduin]

I'll just repeat what I said in the Matchday thread: As harsh it may sound, as long as players like Jesse are starting for Manchester fecking United we're in big trouble. He's nowhere near good enough and should be playing at a Premier League club battling relegation or a very good Championship team. A squad player at the very best, the only thing he has on his side is him coming from our academy.

If Bebe or Obertan had put in such a 'crossing show' we'd never stop laughing and have compilations showing their shitness...

 

[m1y2]

he has a great cross on him, he showed it many times before, he tried to put it in with pace, didnt work out this game, if two crosses means get rid of not good enough for this club etc than a person who thinks this should really get a grip

 

[Walters_19_MuFc]

Yeah let's excuse the fact that he couldn't do basic football things right because he was played out of position. He's also looked rather hopeless and mediocre while playing in his actual position.

Lets also excuse the fact that a lot of our players struggle to do 'basic football things' right because they're playing in a team that has next to nothing movement. See Young's performance for Liverpool last week before he got injured and you'll know i'm talking about.

Played out of position for 5 minutes?

Nope.

And what position has he ever excelled in?

He's as average as they come. The only thing he offers is that he can run fast from time to time.

Well, he's been a lot more threatening as a winger, no? As soon as he come back from injury, he was brought straight back into the team for a reason.

 

[11101]

I thought he looked great in his first pre season but i can't remember the last time he took someone on, which is worrying for a supposedly quick and skilful winger/forward.
