Another game Lingard starts and another game we regret it, no idea how he keeps getting into the team.
You've picked an odd time to defend his goal scoring record.how many sample time periods did you take that from? presume just the 1
What about us over the years suggests consistent logical planning? Ole has done well with AWB & Maguire but it's 2 steps forward, 1 step back when we lose Herrera on a free with no replacement.I just don't really understand how we're in this position again.
Lingard's fine, really, but you know what you get with him and you know what you don't get. What you don't get is the output to suggest he should be a first choice attacking player at United. We knew that. Going into the season, then, why did we settle on 4-2-3-1 if we aren't able to get anybody else in?
Literally. From reddit :Pointless.
Thing is, we've had 10s in the past like Rooney who did as much defensively as him but had actual quality, too. In fact, Rooney and Tevez used to kind of rotate who'd stay up and who'd drop deep to offer support which was one of the reasons I loved that partnership. Even Yorke would play as a sort of 10, helping out defensively, contributing to the build-up, etc, but was a quality footballer alongside his good work rate.Think we might have invented the defensive Number 10.
The same trap about Jones is Duncan Edwards Mk.II.Thing is, we've had 10s in the past like Rooney who did as much defensively as him but had actual quality, too.

I don't know how, after all his years of .mediocrity/rubbish, he's our starting #10 in 2019.
We're short on midfielders too so there's that.We should bench Lingard by playing 433. We don't have a top No.10.
I would like to see Gomes in a midfield of 3.
I agree with you, but then the question is why are we playing him in a position which end product is crucial?I don't think Ole is playing Lingard thinking "yeah he's going to get me a goal or an assist". I think he's played for his work rate, his pressing and general link up play. Sure he's got a goal in him but it's clear he's being played for other reasons which Ole rates higher, and Jose before him and LVG before him.
Mate, on his day Nani was a world class winger who could shoot, dribble, pass, cross, had great movement and had match winning credentials.Oh I know Nani did at least have a couple of solid seasons with us before going off the boil.
I’m not so much comparing their playing style, it’s the frustration that I’m reminded off.
The fluffed chances.
Passes that should be shots.
Shots that should be passes.
The complete mis-control of basic passes.
Failing to beat the full back and get in a decent cross.
No. There are players capable of beating him, Ole just needs to put faith in them and allow them to make mistakes.Shouldn't be starting games, but that's probably a measure of the strength of our squad at the moment.
Frustrating again tonight.
Pogba 10, Fred 6. Problem solved.We should bench Lingard by playing 433. We don't have a top No.10.
I would like to see Gomes in a midfield of 3.
I aint. Lingard did his role in this game. There where 3 and 4 other who did less in the 2nd halfI really wonder what the standards of our club is if this you actually mean this? I hope you being sarcastic.
i wish he did...One is retired in Portugal another one is pundit on TV because no big club were after him.
Bang average player who will score odd goal.
Think we might have invented the defensive Number 10.
That is the truth unfortunately. I don't understand why our coaches are fine with attacking player who is total shit but they rate him. And that is the reason why he will play next game and game after that and game after that.I don't think Ole is playing Lingard thinking "yeah he's going to get me a goal or an assist". I think he's played for his work rate, his pressing and general link up play. Sure he's got a goal in him but it's clear he's being played for other reasons which Ole rates higher, and Jose before him and LVG before him.
Gomes*Maddison will take his place.
Rather than worrying about next year with the likes of Sancho or Maddison, we should have strengthened this season especially Lingard. It’s not hard to be upgrade over him. Those players won’t want to come next year if we finish another season outside top four.Gomes*
Although Maddison would be a good addition.
