I was gonna say how poor this ref has been but yeh, it could be much worse... Jesus.
Defensively disciplined, clever movement, energy, fits naturally on the right (unlike every single one of our other players) and hunger.What's the point of Lingard exactly ? How come he gets thrown into the starting lineup just like that when he's shite ?
The usual suspects on here will moan no matter what happens on the pitch.
we've been decent, people are happy we held on to a draw, which is fair enough, but Juve are miles aheadJust in - have we been shit? People don't seem to be saying we've been shit, it's throwing me off.. Surely we haven't been good?
He and Young have completely shut down Juves left side.What's the point of Lingard exactly ? How come he gets thrown into the starting lineup just like that when he's shite ?
Agreed. He's not been in great form but there is a reason he's still in the team. He is tactically sound and his experience is very valuable.I'm noticing the trend of people saying "Matic was shite" etc just for the sake of it. Becoming tiresome already.

I don't see a good reason for not playing him on the right in pretty much every game unless it's to introducing Chong as a sub. Mata on the right invites teams to double team Young/Valencia. It's pointless. Rashford doesn't have the ability to play on the right, even if he offers pace and energy.
Don't think anybody entirely agrees with newspaper ratings.I don't agree.
He's doing what he can, trying to set up attacks but it's hard when you can only play to the left.
Lingard definitely the weakest so far
I had put a C-4 up his arse, the guy ultimately is not that great. Let's hope he is decent enough to afford us time to bring in someone.Hopefully that is not Shaw starting to drop off after getting a new deal
Agree! He’s been really good today, but problem is if you give him special attention you might miss Ronaldo and Dyabala.Need to close down Cuadrado a bit quicker. He's been given far too much time when he gets the ball and he's instigating a lot of their attacks.
Believe me that Juve would like to be thrashing us by now but we haven't let them to a certain extent.We've approached this game like a small team, we haven't created anything to threaten them. If they apply the pressure during the second half, they will score
But he doesn't have enough end product. To be a right winger you must be good at crossing or shooting. Lingard is a 10/second striker like Alli. Never a winger.Lingard is clearly one of our most intelligent runners in our team, always finding space and making good movements. All the pundits see it, not sure why so many on here still don’t.
Who said this? I've yet to read or hear anyone saying this.Pjanic is class, such an amazing range of passing. People should really look at someone like him before saying saying Pogba's passing is out of this world, and better than the likes of Scholes, because he first has to reach level of passing if current top midfielders, let alone Scholes'
Agree. The criticism is bizarre. He’s worked hard off the ball and carried the ball well enough. Only criticism would be he hadn’t really challenged the LB. But then again I’ve never been a massive fan of him on the rightIs it just me that thinks Lingard has played a sensible game? I thinks he’s done well.
You mean this
Oh there was a guy few days ago who kept insisting on that. I'll find it latter if I don't forget.Who said this? I've yet to read or hear anyone saying this.
He is there because Jose wants his speed in counterattacks. I would much rather have Mata there, he may be slow but his brain is much faster.What's the point of Lingard exactly ? How come he gets thrown into the starting lineup just like that when he's shite ?
No. No one would do.Exactly.
We could play like the 1970 Brazil team and their will still be people on here moaning.
In both games, asking for trouble as it is to note it.Considering that we seem to go a goal down against literally any PL team, we've done okay here. We don't really look like scoring though, and they do a bit. Looking at it positively, we're doing alright defensively and occasionally we've looked up for it on the break. Need to see more aggression though, I think this Juve team aren't all that defensively and we can make chances if we really go for it.
Ronaldo is interesting. Doesn't look like anyone is man marking him and he's not really been a danger despite that.

Don't bother if thats just one idiot, because you really have to be one to say it and agree about Pjanić, he really sprays those passes with such ease, it's joy to watch.Oh there was a guy few days ago who kept insisting on that. I'll find it latter if I don't forget.
