NL Max is secretly Memphis himself.
Were you geniunely expecting him to start against City?
I'm waiting for a cracking Europa League performance by him. That'll turn a few heads.
Does he really though?
Looks like he'll be packing up his protein bars & tattoo-at-home kit and heading off elsewhere in January/next summer.
If he put it all together, he'd give City utter hell. He has pace, power, technique and an eye for goal. He'd be a lot for those fullbacks to deal with after City lose the ball and they're caught in and up. Shame he's gotten to the point he shouldn't even be considered for this match.
He'll be a great option for the earlier Europa/league cup games if given the chance, but sadly and surprisingly (to me at least), he just doesn't seem to have the quality for the premiership.
He should convert to a striker full-time, could make a decent career at a club like Southampton.
Doesn't seem to have the pace and agility to be a winger, at least not in the PL.

The fact that Young and Lingard are ahead of him but still can't get a game tells me they will be picked ahead of him for the Europa and League cup games.
Memphis isn't quick. He's built like a tank but gets shoved off easily
Deceptively weak.
He was a good poster. It is a shame what Memphis has done to him.
Come back @NL Max
That's original
Winger who cuts inside and just digs it? Yeah we definitely don't have one of them. He is also actually a very underrated crosser of the ball too. And he is our most skilful player. It would be interesting to see what the other players thought of him in training.
With all that skill,yet cant even beat a man and gets easily figured out by average premiership defenders.
If he's our most skillfull player, then we are doomed.
This is simply not true. Not even close.
Skills aren't really a part of real football, im pointing out the things he has over other players, obviously if it was useful he wouldn't be on the bench
Who can pull off better skills than him? I'm not claiming he is the best dribbler which is a much more important skill.
Just cause he cuts in and shoots doesn't mean he does it well. Seems to me that he tries to do that too often and actually rarely succeeds. To say he's our most skillful player is just hard to understand. I mean we just signed Pogba ffs.
Ok, so he'd make a decent freestyler. Is that in any way relevant?
No hence me saying its not relevant like 14 times.
No and I never said he did do it well, just our other wingers aren't like that. You may be right on Pogba I don't really know I've only seen him at the euros and in his few games for us. Against Southampton he looked like he may have some tricks so you're probably right there.
What was your point in bringing it up then?
Go back to original post and just completely forget the tangent you took us on.
All I was saying was as a blueprint of a player he is unique in our squad, quality wasn't talked about, as nobody is arguing he hasn't been poor for us so far.
He doesn't even do that many skills in matches anyway.
Looks like the no.7 curse continues. If he can't even make the bench ahead of Young, there is no hope for him.
Poor balance or leverage then. Obviously he's strong enough. He needs to figure the disconnect out quickly.
Penny for his thoughts right now...
Feck his thoughts IMO. His own fault that he's under Lingard in the pecking order.
Hopefully its to knuckle down and force himself into the first team.
After poor form of our wingers Martial, Lingard, and Micky surely he should at least get a chance in the next game?!
A point to prove, let's see how he gets on in Europe first...
I'd rather not.
Play him against Feyenoord. He usually does well in those sort of games.
Maybe that can earn him a bench role in the league.

Still a lot to prove but Lingard and Martial's form has opened the door slightly for him.
Young gets in the squad ahead of him, so I don't see how Memphis guaranteed to play ahead of him against Fayernoord.
He isnt quick/skillful or have a great shot.
In short he's shite.
In short he's shite.
That doesn't mean much, young can play both wing positions and emergency fullback. He's also a professional so, you won't have him on the bench sulking and complaining like adnan.
I hope to see him Thursday night, it's going to be a good opportunity for him. Memphis plays well against lower competition.
Must not rate him at all.
As a Memphis-fan and Dutchman, Memphis please just leave the club. He's blown it for himself already last year and wont get another proper chance, take a step back and prove yourself again.
If he gets a chance of the bench he needs to grab it with both hands. Right now his prospects are looking bleak.
