He looked really tired in the second half and his decision making suffered because of that. I was wondering why he couldn't come off earlier for Pereira.
He has more pace and is more dynamic at both ends than Pereira can be out wide tbf.He seem lightweight both physically and mentally. I just feel like Pereira would add way more to the team.
Then why haven't i seen it so far? He reminds of a weaker, slower Valencia. Yes, he does pop the odd goal here and there but his overall contribution is really not impressive. The few times he tries to run past a defender he complains for a foul or just loses it altogether. I don't know but he just doesn't seem dangerous to me.He has more pace and is more dynamic at both ends than Pereira can be out wide tbf.
I agree somewhat with what you are saying but he keeps width and carries ball forward stretching play. Pereira will have to come in centrally to be effective or just cross.Then why haven't i seen it so far? He reminds of a weaker, slower Valencia.

He does keep width but to what end? I would really try Pereira for a few games as coming centrally might result in one-twos or switching of play to the left. With Varela showing some good sign, an overlap with a more central Pereira could also unlock defenses, not to mention the possible passes between the oppo RB and the central defender.I agree somewhat with what you are saying but he keeps width and carries ball forward stretching play.

was my thoughts on this, this happened to Memphis earlier in the season. Where he looked knackered but was just kept on bizarrely despite having a replacement on the bench (and not using that sub until there was like 2 minutes left of the game).He looked really tired in the second half and his decision making suffered because of that.

He is a squad player. Right now we don't have any players in our squad!Just don't see it with this guy. Think I said it before but at best all I can see him be is a squad player. Really can't wait to get a proper right winger there, it'll be so much help.
Varela was doing more work as a forward than Lingard was today!
The good parts of his game are very underappreciated. Sure he was trying a bit hard in the second half and lost the ball more than necessary. But if you watch the game back it's hard to find a passing move he wasn't involved in - if you want high-tempo passing, you need players like him who have that knack of getting available for a pass and always knowing who they're going to move it on to so it only takes one touch. And he must have won the ball back more than anyone, it was Welbeck-level harrying from the front.
I'm not claiming he's some superstar or anything, but his performance today is getting harsh reviews. You don't get performances like Memphis's today without performances like Lingard's alongside him.
I agree he was worse in the second half, but awful is very harsh.im a big fan of Jesse, in fact he is one of my favorite players and i agree with you in general but in the second half he was pretty bad. Decent first half, awful in the second until the dive and then again decent for a short spell before the sub. Missed the game live so i watch it after, and was focused mainly on Depay, Rash and Jesse as i heard Depay was amazing, Jesse was poor and was curios how did Rash do.
maybe, lets say then that he was poor....its pretty much irrelevant what we call it, it wasnt good unfortunatelyI agree he was worse in the second half, but awful is very harsh.
Yep, I was surprised that the commentators agreed with the ref, looked like a small but clear contact to me. You can see Hansen's foot juddering from the contact between his boot and Jesse's.Saw a couple of replays and I don't think it was a dive. From some angles it looks like a dive, but there are another angles that show it's a penalty. He overreacted with his fall, but Hansen caught the tip of his foot with his tackle.
He's played on the right nearly the whole time that he's been in the first team though.Just playing out of position. Not a great game but did take a knock last game. Hopefully his performances will pick up but we might need to be patient with him. A spell on the bench might do him some good
I agree. There is nothing that he does that stands out and as a winger, he does a bad job as he's not creating, nor dribbling, nor opening up space or anything else. Whenever he has the ball, he rather runs inside and get's in other people's way. Yesterday was his chance to torment the right flank but he did nothing - like in most cases. You really do wonder how poor we've become if players like Lingard are starting.A nothing player.
You blame the fans for the fact he cannot beat a man, Cross a ball or do much else?was awful in the second half....i blame the fans, morons are in half boo mode the minute he gets the ball because he is keeping it simple and its only normal that young player reacts on it and tries more. He then starts running at people and he is a very poor dribbler, normally he lost almost every ball. Someone should talk to him and ensure he stays loyal to his game no matter what.
I think this is clutching at straws, personally. Yes, him and Varela marked Sisto well and Lingard put in his usual energetic shift. But let’s be honest, we completely and utterly dominated the game against very weak opposition. It's not as if he done a marking job on Neymar. Lingard is in the team to be utilised as an attacking outlet and against weak opposition like we faced last night, he should really have shown far more in an attacking sense. He was absolutely woeful in the final third and failed to take people on, as-well as constantly picking the wrong option. He was by far our worst attacking player on the pitch. Look at Depay, he took full advantage of how weak the opposition were and tore them to shreds. Lingard, who is a year older, failed to show any attacking endeavour whatsoever.Really think that Jesse's contribution to our defensive solidity on the right is overlooked and none more so than last night.
He put a good shift in, nicked possession from them on more than one occasion and had our highest pass completion (95%) according to the UEFA stats.
I think the main problem is that he simply isn't a winger. I don't follow our youth teams so I have no idea where he played at that level. But I feel that he would maybe be more suited to a number 10 role as opposed to a role out on the wings. I think he's a limited player, as you have pointed out and maybe a number 10 role would suit his attributes better. He looked a complete mess out on the wing against second rate opposition last night, he consistently failed to beat his man and his decision making was shocking. People keep saying he's quick but I'm yet to see it; maybe being 'quick' these days equates to not being as slow as Mata, I dunno.I think he has to realize his limitations and make the most keeping that in mind.
People often say he's a nothing player, but for me, he's at his worst when he overrates his ability and starts playing as if he's Arjen Robben taking on his fullback with ambition but without the ability. He seems to be a hard working, good-at-tracking back, intelligent and tidy footballer, with a knack of popping up with goals. He should stick to those aspects of his repertoire rather than constantly trying to be our "wing wizard".
I personally think Januzaj (and maybe Periera) should be prioritized over him, and comfortably at that, but if he's getting chances I hope he does well and importantly, works out the player he is and the best he can be at being that sort of player.
Thing is, the line has blurred now between wingers and AMs. Most attacking midfielders these days are number 10s of sorts. And most teams play with them out wide. Mata, Silva, De Bruyne and Ozil all play out wide a lot of the time. So him playing out wide fits in well with the times, and the systems these days, for me. But when a 10 does play that he needs to then play like a 10 should rather than emulate Ronaldo, Bale or Robben. If Ozil or Silva suddenly start trying to beat a man for pace consistently like Valencia (earlier) or Bale would, it would make absolutely no sense. Same with Lingard, he's better off playing like Park would, rather than try to hard to be a game changer.I think the main problem is that he simply isn't a winger. I don't follow our youth teams so I have no idea where he played at that level. But I feel that he would maybe be more suited to a number 10 role as opposed to a role out on the wings.
