So he's contributed 10 times (goals / assists) in 19 games, that's bloody fantastic!
Stan Collymore: "Jesse Lingard should be considered in the same bracket as Kevin De Bruyne and Leroy Sane"

I have a feeling this thread will be absolutely jumping tomorrow.
I hope so. Lingard is a weird one - he's a local lad and I remember people were desperate for him to be given a chance prior to his breakthrough into the team. Then ever since he got into the team people seem to be wanting him to be dropped despite him playing better than a lot of more glamorous players.
Man Utd 1:2 Man City
Not an ideal first half from our Jesse.
He'll score second half 
A couple of nice through balls to Lukaku and Martial. He's doing alright.
Our best forward today, but gets taken off for some reason.
How the feck was he taken off and Lukaku stays on.
Probably our best outfield player along with Young
Our best attacking player today, no idea why he was taken off.
Should have stayed on, with Lukaku taken off instead.
Lingard caused them a lot of trouble and helped us transition up the pitch, if he'd carried on doing that with Zlatan up there to feed off it we could have got another goal.

Yep, didn't get that sub either. Did well overall.
Probably our best attacking player, which itself says a lot about the state of our front line. He'd get nowhere near that City team.
Ridiculous to sub him off as he was a threat on the counter and constantly putting pressure on them when they tried to play out.
I thought he played reasonably well.
He was good today and probably didn't deserve to be subbed as Rashford was terrible.
Martial was even worse.
Don't really need to specify the outfield part. De Gea didn't really do much today.
Thought he carried the ball well and some of his passing was incisive. Our best outfield player.
He wasn't. Rashford could not pass to a tram mate the whole game.
One of the best out there today. I’m a big critic, but he gets what it is to play City and he bust a nut today. Fair dues.
Basically this. When the Zlatan sub was being made I was hoping it would be for Lukaku but felt it will be either Martial or Rashford. To take off your most in form attacker and one who was doing well is plain stupid from Mourinho and again clearly shows how he only cares for names and not how people are actually playing.
Coz Mourinho is a plonker who cares more about the name on the shirt than the actual performances on the pitch
It's very strange to say that, after his sub our offensive play fall apart.
He was our biggest threat, which says a lot about the sorry state of our attack.
Im a Mkhi fan but I have to say that Lingard played reasonably weel. He had a few good runs and timely passes. I was shocked when Jose subbed him. Zlatan should retire and just go home. We really dont need him on the field.
I would play Martial Lingard Mkhi and Lukaku/Rash up front. Might work out. The problem is that these youngsters just keep passing each other.
Please. Where the heck he was for almost 60 minutes? People made fun of Mkhitaryan's invisibility then feeling fine when their precious local lad was doing exactly the same. How laughable
Laughable is for a person who is keep his eyes closed and making stuff up. If Lingard were invisible this game, then I suggest you following a different sport.

He did quite well. One of, if not the best player today. Not sure why he got subbed either. Perhaps out of steam after running himself to the ground, box to box all game?

Probably our best player. Not that it counts for much. They were all woeful today. Especially Lukaku.
That through ball to Lukaku.
Yeah. Just please check your eyes before criticizing others https://www.whoscored.com/Matches/1...e-2017-2018-Manchester-United-Manchester-City
- Zero shots
- Lowest passes (12)
- Lowest touches (22) alongside Rojo (20)
- Box to box all game for fun like a headless chicken
He was ok yesterday, not great not terrible just ok. We struggled to get the ball up the pitch to him so it's no surprise he was largely invisible.
In games like yesterday when we are getting swamped in midfield he needs to drop back more often to make it a 3 man midfield.

Thought he did ok, the whole front line was non-existent so i'd say he was the best of a bad bunch.
That does not suit his skill set. If you're gonna do that, you might as well play Mata who can at least keep possession better and recycle the ball.
Lingard's quality is movement in the final 3rd, running and perhaps some composure in front of goal. He's good for counter attacking football as a support striker or #10 but personally I don't really see how he could play in a midfield 3. Or how he'd make the best option for that.
Lingard put a great through ball to Lukaku, put in a shift in midfield and helped nullify Silva and KdB. Definitely better than Mkhi in his last few games.
Better than Mkhi, sure. Not sure how he helped nullify Silva and KDB though. They were being picked up by Matic and Herrera respectively, not by Lingard. And we didn't exactly nullify them as they ran the show. They don't have to score to have an impact in the game, they are midfielders after all.
To me I a m bit surprised he played him as the no.10 position for first time in such a crucial game. He did alright but the jury is out there if he is the solution. This also underlined our need for playmakers in the team.
I always think this team is a few players away from winning the premiere league.It is currently a top 3 team.I remember Mouriniho saying he needs three transfer windows before winning.
it is job of the coach to know exactly how many players he needs and which type and positions.
