revolves around his backward passes
Yep. I think i am lost in an athletics forum now, i should go back watching football before it’s too late
You’re clueless mate.
Was coming in to see if this was posted. Class of him.
Wow. You're actually predicting or hoping that one of our players will underperform just to prove a point. I have no words.
Eh?
Nah, i’m not a highsight master, if i was that kind of people, i would hide somewhere waiting the match to end and go bashing your dear Jesse with nonstop comments everytime he didnt produce. I always saw through his true identity and made my opinion a week before matchdays. The question is why your idol Jesse just cant prove me wrong even once? Why cant he just recreate even a Swansea’s deflected assist against real opponents MC and Spurs? Why did my anticipations keep becoming true, not once but twice?
Why do you think Jose picks him so regularly especially given the options we have?
Ya. He is useless. Jose is also useless because he picks him time and again.
Statistics without context is just numbers. Logic implies you have context, which you don't provide or choose not to provide because you're ignorant. As much as you look into the black and white of it, there's so much gray in football that leads to the black or white, which you cannot ignore because football is much, much more than just of the outcome rather than how did you come to that outcome.
Who promoted this guy? You guys are responsible
Maybe he loves Lingard because of his work rate but for the long term only assists/goals that matter when coming to definition of an attacking player. The name of this thread didnt change into Messe Lingod for a while if not the number of goals and assists he gave in first part of this season, but for the last 4 months, during the most important period which decides a whole season, he has been poor and backed to the old Lingard we’re fed up with.
He was growing his frame and muscles. Before that coaches already lauded his football intelligence. Gosh.
Stop with the Lingard FC nonsense.
He’s definitely having his best season but he’s not a terrier or a good finisher ffs our standards have dropped.
I agree the same with Alli his stats are unbelievable but I get disappointed the majority of games I watch him in.
To be fair @TA he’s putting up a decent case for his opinion but like many a player thread once people don’t agree post like this and yours start appearing and then it gets lost.Who promoted this guy? You guys are responsible
A bit like you, when Jesse was banging them in then?
Lingard was playing very well up until we started playing 433 more often in the last couple of months. When we first made that transition it was actually him dropping deeper into a midfield role as all our other options were injured. Which in itself would be expected to lower his assists and goal tallies, but it also resulted in his form dropping a bit since that position doesn't really suit him. Since then he's been moved around a bit, sometimes out wide, sometimes deeper, and sometimes in the centre of the 4231 (which is the position where he has outperformed every other option we have this season), and he hasn't managed to quite get back to the form he was showing earlier in the season. He's still had good games, but he's also struggled at times.
Not at all I don’t rate Lingard highly in fact I think he’s very average but credit due he’s has had a good spell and hopefully he kicks on but forgive me if I wait a while as still nowhere near convinced with him.
Stats doesn't work like that. Only the 16.5 games with 2 goals and something something that counts.
Liverpool have the Ox in their side.
If Milner, Henderson and Oxlade Chamberlain start for Liverpool I don't see why Lingard wouldn't.
Different positions and roles.
Lingard in place of Ox in their starting XI?
