I dont think anyone would begrudge him celebrating his birthday. But there is really no need to flaunt on social media, especially on the back of a such a humbling defeat for the team.

Even Cristiano got slaughtered for his lavish celebrations on the same date Real lost 4-0 to Atletico.

Its not a matter of whether its right or wrong , but its about the PR image it portrays. Coupled with his aweful on-field perfomances, it doesnt create the best image for Memphis. His management team should be smart enough to know that. That's just how the life of a celebrity works.

 

[RustyS]

People are so small time and petty. I guess you lot mourn for three weeks after a bad day at work?

He lost a game of football, not his grandmother. Perspective ffs, perspective. It is not the end of the world.

Besides, the loss was hardly his fault. He didn't start the game and was OK when he came on.

 

[Giant Midget]

Big moment for Memphis. With Rooney out until the end of March, he will compete with Adnan for an extended run in the team.

 

[Danny Boi]

Big opportunity for him to grab a place in the team with Rooney injured.

 

[MyOnlySolskjaer]

Huge opportunity to lead the line.

 

[Classical Mechanic]

Huge opportunity to lead the line.

Lead the line? I suppose the only thing he is interested in is scoring so it might just work.

 

[SATA]

Keep Martial on the left and play Memphis upfront. Let's see what he's made of

 

[Thisistheone]

Wouldn't mind seeing Memphis as our 9 like we seen at Watford. There's pace there to use and we don't have to worry about his tracking back so much.

 

[Giant Midget]

I'd rather see him on the left. He's not going to be a CF in the long term, while Martial is.

Might as well give him some confidence and a run in his best position so that he goes into next season with the best possible chance of making an impact. Our season is a write-off anyway, the development of the youngsters is the only reason to be interested in watching right now.

Nobody is saying it is. He's just a gimp, is all. Let's hope he turns it on in Rooney's absence.

I'd rather not see him at all.

Will Keane to start please.

I concur. Memphis had so many chances already and didn't use them. It's time for someone else to get a chance to show what he can do.

 

[Adisa]

If he can't start games when Rooney is injured and with one of the thinnest attacks in years, we should just cut our losses.

even though lvg has lasted as long as he has, there's still a hope he'll be gone in summer. nearly every player has been shit under him, so i'd be willing to give depay another shot next year.

Hes started 12 games...

 

[Rozay]

Couldn't care less about what he drives or who he screws (beyond the usual jealousy) but he is terrible at football.

I voiced concerns when we were linked about him having no ability to run with the ball. In that sense, he doesn't seem an actual winger. My summary is not good enough personally, and I'm not of the view that a player needs to be here for years before they can be judged. I'd sell him in the summer if we could.

 

[Sammyjunn]

Looks much faster recent weeks, seems to have adjusted to his weight gain a bit. Hope it will reap its fruits (?).

 

[Brophs]

Memphis is quite Welbeckian in his ability to get into great positions and then let it peter out to the extent that it seems like it was never a chance in the first place.

Welbeck was a far better player mind you.

 

[red_devil83]

He's so selfish. He never gives the ball to anyone making a run he just selfishly tries to use the opportunity himself and does nothing with it. Really irritates me

 

[NinjaFletch]

Even when he scores he manages to look like a fecking pillock doing it.

Er, I was hacked, guv...

What did he do just now? Or when Lingard almost went 1 vs 1, or when he tries to pull back for Martial in the first 5 min but it got blocked?

 

[ivaldo]

Er, I was hacked, guv...

 

[Trizy]

Even looked shit scoring his goal.. it's been said many times, he's not United level.

 

[Rado_N]

The attitude towards him from some people on here is pathetic. I swear they want him to fail.

[DJ Jeff]

I don't know Memphis Depay, I've never met him or had any contact with him, but I..

 

[Sammyjunn]

Can't understand if those people call themselves "supporters", literally wanting your own players to fail and be agenda-driven towards them. Completely baffled. If you think he's shit, thats more than fair enough, but downplaying every good thing he does as well is something else.

 

[Lennon7]

I know it's mad. He's shown many times what he can do, I wouldn't write him off yet.

 

[Beachryan]

He actually did really well for the goal - had lost his footing before the cross but still put it in. If Hernandez does that, people laud him.

 

[Nighteyes]

He's been complete wank aside from the tap in. With a bit of luck someone will pay us 10m for him in the summer

 

[ivaldo]

Look at the reaction Carrick got for gifting them a goal and compare that to Depay failing to take his man on, ridiculously Depay gets more slack! In fact, 5 minutes after the goal and MC thread still hasn't been bumped.

I couldn't understand why you'd tag me after laughing at his fk. He was the best FK taker last year in Europe, wasn't he?

Credit where it's due, got a goal.

 

[ivaldo]

Every one of our attacks from open play have involved Depay, there's a reason why he finds himself in good positions.

 

[Sammyjunn]

Complete wank? So beside his goal every other thing he did was just bad right?

 

[Stobzilla]

Cheeky Mexican scamp he is, look at him falling over his own feet, bless.

 

[MrPooni]

It's like he's so conditioned to cocking up he's finally cocked up cocking up and scored from it.

Not only is that bollocks, but that was never a bloody tap in.
