Three threads you posted that in. You ain’t getting that green smiley.Probably the worst footballer to play football since Ali Dia.

Fixed.He's a championship player, we know this.
Exactly, "he cant" .... he doesnt have the ability, so why give him a ridiculous contract. Even Micki and Mata at their worst, at least look threatening and have to be defended. Lingard is just a waste of space and he gets in other players ways when he tries to move inside instead of staying wide.I'm sorry, but he's just there filling out a shirt! When given the chance to impress, he should take it. But he doesn't because he can't. It's one thing to play him from time to time in these sort of games, but what was the point of extending his contract last season? In the past we've let go of several players with more ability, so I just don't understand it. Maybe someone can explain it to me, since I might be the ignorant one.
Why the hell did Mkhitaryan and Mata not start instead of Lingard today? Rashford only played off the bench so someone from Rashford, Mkhitaryan and Mata is not going to start against Brighton.No its not. Martial has 704 minutes and Lingard 556. Or if for some bizarre reason you only count the league Martial has 70 more minutes.
He was complete meh tonight but then he played well against Swansea last month. So going off his historical form we shouldn't be expecting another good performance from him for at least another month or two.
December 20th which is almost 8 weeks to the day from the Swansea game. You're probably right he will play well in that one, so after that here's hoping we get at least another 2 good performances out of him before the end of the season.
So true.
When's the next League Cup game?
Probably play well in that.
Sadly, with the contract he's on, he'll be here for a while.I hope we can give him away and get him off the books in the summer or even better January.
LMAOHe scored 5 goals, but still people keep saying he's shite, etc. You guys are pissing in the wind.
I see City players do it a lot.Feels like about 80% of his passes are straight back to the player that gave it to him
Please tell me you are not seriously comparing him to City's players.I see City players do it a lot.
Behave yourselfHe scored 5 goals, but still people keep saying he's shite, etc. You guys are pissing in the wind.
He was our best player in pre-season games. Surely that count?He was atrocious last night. Unfortunately, he's been pretty poor in general this season bar a-few moments.
Homegrown quotas have to be met.I don't know why he's still at the club to be honest, He offers nothing to us, I'd sell him in January, He's crap, He's a mid-table premier league player, The sooner he goes, The better in my opinion.
Did you really expect anything else from Lingard? He isn't capable of dribling against any half decent defender, at best he can outpace some old git(or Blind in training maybe?). His best contribution is good fecking movement, let that sink in, good movement, and he is payed 100k a week to be an attacker for Manchester United.The thing that bugs me the most. He takes the ball, goes with the ball, makes a move like he will attack defender and then he does cleverley- pass the ball to first player. Every time. Every single time. He can be local, he can run all day but i can't accept winger who plays on safe every fecking single time. Just can't. Our defensive midfielder matic goes in dribble , tries something, even darmian tries to do something on his own in attack but our winger whos main job is to create, does not even try. He is a winger who didn't ever dribble past player. Shocking.
Someone said it good - instead of him , lets just try gomes or chong or some other kid.
Ready when called upon!? Yeah I bet he was ready to provide absolutely nothing last night.Fletcher in early days got criticized for his limits, but later showed his quality in our squad. The most crucial reason for him to succeed here was his attitude imo.
Lingard has always been criticized, but the fact that he is always fit and ready when called upon, never complain about his playing time, and willingness to trust the manager shows me that he may be a better squad option later on.
His wage is too high? We do have enough money. We're not Spurs. Plus he is academy graduate.
Did we really have to win Basel game tonight? No. And Lingard won't be starting in games where we need 3points. If Lingard was starting games week in and week out, then I'll be complaining.
