As it is said many times; he is different player without Maguire.

Same. Proactive and steady on the ball.MOTM for me today. Was brilliant.
He was terrible when we lost to Villa 3-1 earlier in the season when he was paired with Martinez. He's enjoying a good run of form at the moment.As it is said many times; he is different player without Maguire.

Genuinely wanted to shag him after that goal line clearance
He's actually United quality when he's not next to Maguire. Unreal reallyGenuinely wanted to shag him after that goal line clearance

Fantastic today. Keep it up
If he played in a time that where better on the ball I would not be surprised to see him start over Varane. Probably our best defender on the ball. So composed.Should be our 3rd choice CB. Much better player than Maguire IMO. MOTM today and he's been generally solid for us this season.
Licha is the best defender on the ball in the world - even statistically as opposed to just the eye test. If we had Licha partnering Lindelof with Shaw at LB and a keeper that doesn't treat the ball like a stick of dynamite, we would be close to unpressable.If he played in a time that where better on the ball I would not be surprised to see him start over Varane.

Maybe he was when he played in the Eredivise. He is not in the PL. Lisandro Martinez was the regular at Man Utd with highest completion rate at Man Utd with 87 % in the PL this season. Lindelof currently has a completion rate of 93 %. Lindelof also has yet to miscontrol the ball this season.Licha is the best defender on the ball in the world - even statistically as opposed to just the eye test.

There's more than just completion rates. Fairly certain that both Martinez and Shaw tend to play more aggressive passes while Lindelof would have a higher percentage of safe passes.Maybe he was when he played in the Eredivise.

I think it is a mayor disadvantage for Lindelof that so much of our memory of him is from Man Utd prior to this season.Martinez and Shaw are both better on the ball.
Lindelof is very good at playing through the centre of the park (both on the ground and the long-ball over the top), but he's fairly average at spreading the play out wide. Martinez and Shaw are fantastic at both, Varane is decent at both, Maguire is excellent at the wide ball to the left but is average at everything else (and takes way too long to play them).
Pass completion has little do with how effective a player is on the ballMaybe he was when he played in the Eredivise. He is not in the PL. Lisandro Martinez was the regular at Man Utd with highest completion rate at Man Utd with 87 % in the PL this season. Lindelof currently has a completion rate of 93 %.

It seems to me that Ten Hag and his coaches have worked a lot with Lindelof.He was terrible when we lost to Villa 3-1 earlier in the season when he was paired with Martinez. He's enjoying a good run of form at the moment.
Then we need another top class LB.Varane, Martinez, Shaw, Lindelof is enough CB options, that is one area settled.
I agree. But Smalling also routinely made the fewest passes moving the ball the fewest yards. No CB at Man Utd have made more passes per 90 min at Man Utd than Lindelof. He is also the CB who has moved the ball the most yards with his passing (also progressive yards). His long ball completion rate i 70 %. Martinez is at 49,5 %.Pass completion has little do with how effective a player is on the ball
Smalling routinely had mid 90% pass completion
Yep, agreedThen we need another top class LB.
Not a priority we had Shaw, Malacia and Dalot play there this season.Let’s focus on the attack, we do not punish teams despite dominating, that needs to be solved.Then we need another top class LB.
If we have Varane, Lindelöf, Licha & Shaw for CB, it means that for large periods it’s only the latter three. That’s one injury away from having two centre backs playing every single match. Shaw can’t play both positions at the same time. Malacia is not worthy of a starting spot yet.Not a priority we had Shaw, Malacia and Dalot play there this season.Let’s focus on the attack, we do not punish teams despite dominating, that needs to be solved.
Has done that very well for at least the last three matches.My biggest gripe with him is being passive and always leaving it to someone else. Great to see today that he finally took control and played like a leader
Not sure I agree with that or we’ve got different expectations from a leaderHas done that very well for at least the last three matches.
Perhaps so.Not sure I agree with that or we’ve got different expectations from a leader
