Bar one skinning by Ings early on in the second half, he was near flawless imo - dogged and brave with some crucial interceptions and a fair share of headed clearances. Then he does that at the end. Christ

Lindelof is a game trier, however he is not fit to start for Manchester United. He is too small, too slow, too weak and he doesn’t have the Blind-like game-reading and ball playing skills to make up for those problems. Even when he has a good game, that is not even close to what Rio could do.
Either 4-5 choice or get rid.

His positioning was fine - Obafemi was putting off DDG and then moved in between Lindelof and the player in front of him. There is no fecking chance he runs round Obafemi and gets to the ball, get a grip. The knock down brought it to feet which was the issue. Sure on hindsight he could have done better to start infront of a midget of a player but lets not beat him with a stick with it. I mean seriously.
He had a Southampton player behind him as well...
So Smalling is not good with the ball. Does that make him an inferior defender overall than Lindelof? I say no.
If Lindelof was a silky passing wizard I'd say yes but he is not. He is marginally better than Smalling with the ball and Smalling is miles faster, stronger and even better at 1 on 1s and heading and last ditch etc.

I'm a big fan of Lindelof, thinks he's better than Maguire but he needs to be doing better there.
He was great all game, even won headers. Then he got outmuscled for a 50-50 at the end for a cross that shouldn't have even got to him in the first place, Maguire should have headed it or De Gea should have claimed it.
Did you see the game this evening? He was pretty good I thought.
Weak mentally weak physically, those aren't the characters of a top team defender, and I am not just basing this on his error leading to the goal today, he was exposed so many times.
I thought he had a good game to be honest.
There was no chance because he was standing behimd him the whole time, fecking wake up
If his teammate won the header he wouldn't be defending under his own crossbar either you fecking moron
Played very well today. Those that blame him for the goal have never played football before.
Why wasnt someone stronger on obafemi? Even if victor is taller. That was one small muscle package. Was bound to happend.
Great for 95 minutes. Very weak for the equalizer. It wasn't all on him. The whole set piece of everything leading up to it was a comedy of errors and panic.
Until the last minute yes
Yeah, it's quite clear to me you don't watch most of our games.
He was brilliant today but he needs to be in front of Obafemi for that goal. Ruined an otherwise great performance.
Played well. Typically outmuscled at the end. He and Maguire as a partnership just isn’t natural unfortunately.
He went from MOTM in the match thread to championship player who needs to be replaced 
Whose the teammate?If his teammate won the header he wouldn't be defending under his own crossbar either you fecking moron
The agenda against certain players is fecking ridiculous.If his teammate won the header he wouldn't be defending under his own crossbar either you fecking moron
Because it's full of fecking morons mateHe went from MOTM in the match thread to championship player who needs to be replaced
He is a 1.69 winger, Lindelof is a CB. It's embarrassing.I was about to say that he had a very good game, bordering on world class performance, then he managed to feck that right up as always didn't he. He'll never be a top player.
Thought he was very good apart from the goal where he showed his lack of strength.
Somewhat disappointed he hasn't hit gym more during his years here since this is not the first time this happens.

Even Gary Neville said he was the wrong side.
Thought he was brilliant tonight and I’m not a big fan of his. Shame of the final moment there I don’t think he can be hugely blamed but again his physical weakness let him down a bit there. But can’t hide the fact he was far better than Maguire today and last few games
If we want to go places , then this fella can’t be playing centre half.

We're talking about strength, the guy is an absolute fecking unit. The ball wasn't high in the air...

He was outmuscled, typical of him, but I wouldn't blame him for the goal. He still acted smarter than most of his teammates who lost a header despite 6 of them covering 2m2 space all together.
There was no feck up there, though?

And said it would have been equally as difficult had he been on the other side.
Rather than asking me have I seen the size of Obafemi. Have you try to re-watch the goal again?
Lindelof failed to read the danger there, he needs to be goalside & of course so easily being outmuscled. I doubt Rio, Maguire, Vidic, Stam, Bruce & Pallister will be beaten easily like that.
It wasn’t even strength that’s the issue.
hes standing next to him like he’s waiting for a bus, then obafemi decides to jump goal side and that’s it, he can’t get back
lindelof should be taking charge of the situation not the other way around.
A proper defense, well organized and in control does not let that ball across goal for anybody to tap it in. I only saw the game replay but I think most of our players should be doing better, not just Lindelof.
And he also said it doesn't matter what side he was on because it was always a goal
Apart from the goal? C'mon guys it comes with the territory and we just gifted 2 goals to Southampton today. Defenders are judged on that. And one is Lindelofs.
Does he have time to get in front of Obafemi after he moves away from De Gea and capitalises on a flick-on? I say no, it is not realistic to expect defenders to be able to zoom into position on every striker in the box every time. I blame H and De Gea, and to be fair Maguire has just said 'the guy can't get a header in at our front post when we've got four men around it', so he's acknowledged it's the front post mistake that is critical in that goal.
Any pundit would put that on Lindelof.
I don't understand how any who has played adult football is blaming him for the second goal.
