He's worse imo.
Lingard is useful against teams like Burton. Any team with good organisation can handle lingard's movement.
Even if Sanchez had let him go, he would have missed it anyway.
fall on his arse just by a soft push that's what i hate from lingard, it doesn't matter how good he is at anything ,if he got shrugged off the ball easily
You obviously do not like Martial. Martial tried to create with his dribbling as he's the best at it in the club. He didn't have success like he usually does. That's part of the reason why he had an awful game. He didn't hide though so why you stick up for Lingard for that reason, but not Martial confuses me. I can't help but label you as some kind of Martial hater because of your inconsistency. Too many players shirk responsibility on the pitch which is why I wanted Martial and Rashford on at the same time. I completely understand why Martial was taken off though as his discipline was crap and could have gotten sent off.
Don't want to turn this into a debate about Martial. He is very one dimensional and his mentality has been under question before, I'll just leave it there. Lingard and Martial's contribution was not similar. Martial is only really able to do one thing, which is cut in and dribble. Lingard tried different things, tried difficult things. Martial stays in his shell and it isn't good enough. On top of that, he was being a bit petulant. He did not look right at all.
Martial has his off days. But i think in his off days too he is better than Lingard. Not to mention he is much younger as well. The likes of Lingard will always be a very limited squad player and should be given an odd 10-20 mins to relieve the other players. He is not good enough to provide quality or change the game either. Yes he can run and thats about it.
So Lingard cannot dribble, cannot make difficult passes, doesn't score or assist near enough, cannot cross, doesn't have enough pace or strength or guile - yet it's Martial who is one dimensional and stays in his shell. Yeah why not. You obviously are objective without any agenda against Martial.
One dimensional doesn't mean shite though, Robben probably is the most one dimensional player I've seen and he's still one of the best winger I've seen, last game is just an off game for Martial where his emotion got the better of him
A simple question for you, if Martial is one dimensional by some standards of yours, what does that make of Lingard? None dimensional?
Spot on.Actually sounds about right. Sadly.
Or Young, or Mata, or Darmian, or Fellaini, or Lindorf.
This has a lot of truth in it. Lingard would struggle to get 20 appearances for any of the top 6 sides as he’s poor. Would rather have Welbeck as a squad player any day of the week. In fact I can think of a few United past youths playing who would be better here.
Wages wise he has more than made it here. But when someone like Johnathan Walters poses more threat then you really need to be taking stock!!
Aye. And it's not like he hasn't been cut slack, especially in terms of been given opportunities. He's had enough opportunities. It's a strange one. IMO, he doesn't do much wrong, but also just not much, or anything he absolutely excels at to warrant a place at a top 6 club. Tbf, he hasn't been a regular starter this season though.
To be fair he does nothing to contribute to us scoring goals, which is why he is in the team. With that alone he does a lot of things wrong.
Yeah I understand that view, and you'd be right in saying it.
Forever young he is.
