I didn't say he was like Di Maria. Depay is a very good player with a lot of talent, confidence is what he needs like Di Maria, he needs to be able to express himself like Di Maria and that's 2 of the reasons why both player did/are not do well under LVG because he's restrictive, methodical, boring, ancient, stubborn idiot of a manager.No, not really. He's nothing like Di Maria.
Reminds me of Obertan though. Clumsy as feck when he's playing against third rate teams.
He has made 40 appearances for over 2200 minutes, any 21/22 year old who has been as poor as him would be ecstatic to be playing that much.Fair enough but at least give him some time to adjust to the new league. How is he ever going to improve if he only ever plays crap opposition (and Arsenal).
Based on what? Memphis has hardly ever played as a striker and Young used to play as a striker some times for Watford.Because Depay can actually play as a striker. The rule is to play the players in their most unnatural position.
He's never really played there, ever.Is there any reason he never, ever plays on the right?
He did in the WC didn't he? Guess it was a pretty different formation and stuff.He's never really played there, ever.
Even at the WC he played on the left. Robben usually came from the middle or right and kuyt was the rightback in a five man defence.He did in the WC didn't he? Guess it was a pretty different formation and stuff.
Just seems strange that he wasn't tried there even once.
Meh, he's underwhelming and somehow people seem to go to him as some example of how bad LVG played him. Was pathetic in both legs against City and playing in a worse league. Also he didn't do much when they lost to monaco and drew to Lille. I don't believe he's performing any better really.Valencia? For what so they can score more goals past us or to blast the balls into fullbacks or is it to watch him do his little swivel donkey dance before he passes back to a CB.
More useful? Who Januzaj or Pereira, I'd like to see that too or being LVG it be more Fellaini, Weir, Keane etc. Depay hasn't played well in a while and he hasn't adapted to the PL, remind you of anyone? Di Maria whos on fire now because he's being used for his ability, talented and he's allowed to express himself not suppress himself and played in a boring systematic philosophy with no flair or eagerness to take the game to the opposition.
Think that's fair. Giving him the 7 shirt didn't help him either. There are a lot of negatives about being a Dutch footballer at the moment....Meh, he's underwhelming and somehow people seem to go to him as some example of how bad LVG played him.

Back to Depay, he's got pre-season to work out what kind of player he wants to be. I won't fully judge what he could be on this season, but he got a proper wake up call that he's not made it and not as good as people have been telling him, yet.
I hope he hasn't been broken by LVG. A player like Depay with his back ground is not easy to nurture.Meh, he's underwhelming and somehow people seem to go to him as some example of how bad LVG played him.

Funny how his confidence almost always goes missing against anyone half decent.Quite clearly a confidence player who thrives off of being involved in the game as well. Always looked better when he's had a run of games but I doubt he'll get it for the rest of the year. Shame because he was playing well for a few games not too long ago then was dropped after one average match. Hope for him yet.
Nothing wrong with having a flat track bully, need them sometimes.Funny how his confidence almost always goes missing against anyone half decent.
He's not a confidence player. Just another player who likes playing shite teams.
The thing is he has it all when it comes to physical aspects at his age.If only Memphis had Rashford's pace, he would be a monumental threat.
He's not even a flat truck bully. That would imply he's good against the lesser PL teams.Nothing wrong with having a flat track bully, need them sometimes.
That kind of logic will end up in you converting to Scientology.He scored the goal that got us into the CL proper didnt he? If he did that repaid financially alot of his fee this year. Its his first season in the PL. Judging him now is what Maureen did with de bruyne and it sometimes doesnt work out like that....
Not writing off players after their first season in the PL..? He's a kid.....Jesus Arsenal fans were looking for the real Ozil to show up in this which might be his 3rd season?That kind of logic will end up in you converting to Scientology.
It is more that you are reaching for tenuous achievements that have no real reflection on his his capabilities to be a consistent t performer at the highest level.Not writing off players after their first season in the PL..?

Oh get ta feck. The stepover kid came right. This lad is older granted but he's only young. Pump for Pedro and what do you get? Pump for a kid and its a toss of a coin also but he wanted to come. Thats worth alot in itself. This club is nothing if we can't give them more than one season. Some people on here back nani who had bloody years to prove himself!!It is more that you are reaching for tenuous achievements that have no real reflection on his his capabilities to be a consistent t performer at the highest level.
