This is it. I don't have anything against the lad and he does have a good amount of composure about him, but he's just not good enough at this level. We have better defensive prospects coming up as well.

Played well against Leicester for the U-21s. Held Evans hand (Evans was shit) and played a few very good through balls, one of which led to our equalizing goal
I kow it's a game of opinions and people see things differently but I always see him at being very god with the ball at his feet. Decision making can make that look different at times but in regards to actual ability with the ball, I think he looks quite natural. It's just a different style which people aren't used to and therefore they think he isn't good.
It's like the old saying, he has a good touch for a big guy. No, he has the same touch as everyone else, it just looks different.

Man Utd 1:1 Arsenal
Shouldn't be a part of the first team squad next season. Sell or loan him. Not good enough yet, don't think he'll ever be.
I mean we can all slate him but the fact is that he's not good enough for us.
Wasn't really his fault for the goal
Has no business playing in the Premier League at this point. Especially not against one of the best attacking sides in the league.
Might do a job for a Championship side on loan next season, but it's hard to see him become a regular feature in our defence at this rate.

McNair is a converted midfielder and can still defend better than him. Young is a winger and is better at LB than him.
I'll bet anyone a grand he'll be at Sunderland or one of those teams in a couple of seasons.
No where near good enough for us and I don't think he ever will be

Criticism in the match thread is way OTT
Two words. Can't defend, Martin.
I have no idea what he's doing at this level.
It wasn't his fault for the goal.
But he isn't good enough positionally nor is he good enough on the ball in tight spaces.

Poor substitution. Unfortunate goal.
I thought he had potential in pre season.
Useless player.
I'd rather have had an injured Rojo stay on than Blackett get subbed on
Hasnt put a foot right this season, but wasnt really his fault, just inlucky.
He's been helped by the number of injuries we've had this season and outside a few ok performances at the start of the season he's been pretty pathetic.
Amazing what lvg sees in him (outside being left footed!)

On the contrary it was completely his fault. He was playing two Arsenal players onside which directly led to the goal.
should not be playing at this level
Dog shit
Hopefully last time we see him. Belongs in the championship.
Interesting decision by LVG to play him
No idea why Van Gaal bothers bringing him on.
Young would be a better option at left back.

Harsh.
Indeed. Utterly predictable though. You could see a lot of people already made up their mind that he'd be at fault for a goal, so of course they'd jump on anything.
In general, it's quite fun to see the reactions to deflections. If it's a liked player he's been unlucky, but if it's a player that's not liked it was 100% his fault.
Why was he subbed on?
He did okay. There was a reason he came on, Rojo was having problems and Blackett had less of them against the ultra pacy Walcott
It was a goalkeeping error

No idea why LvG insists with subbing him on
Oh this fecking place sometimes.
He's a fourth choice, under 21 left back with little-to-no experience. Any other season and he would have never played.
Goal wasn't his fault. People need to calm down. Was good for him to get some game time.
That's where the fingers should be pointed. Blackett's not good enough, so why's he brought on (a second after Walcott) when there were other options?
You don't grill Blackett for having the audacity to not be good enough. Unfortunately block any way.
How did he ever managed to get an extension is beyond joke.
He has no brains and no business being a prem player.

Just saw the deflection and he's not at fault at all.
When are we going to learn ? these academy players dont deserve these minutes they're getting.
This lad went to Birmingham on loan and their fans couldn't wait to see the back of him. It's not rocket science.
My guess is because he insists on balance within the team. Blackett is left footed so he gets in ahead of McNair (who i believe is right footed)
