    Ah, the wrestling that is allowed when a ball is running out of play.
    I hate that part of the game, defender makes no attempt whatsoever to play the ball, in some cases is a metre or so away from it and the commentators laud it as "great defending".
     
    Why have you lot always got to have a scapegoat when we are not winning? The entire team isn't playing that well whilst Blackburn are playing above themselves.

    We will win. Chill.
     
    Things that are obvious to me but people here are blind to it-
    • Rashford is a championship level player right now
    • Lingard is a championship level player
    • Carrick slows our play down far too much. He is now playing like rooney played the role
    • Darmian aint good enough
    • Smalling needs selling
    • We only have two good midfielders in Herrera and Pogba
     
    To everyone complaining about lingards postioning, surely hes been instructed to do so otherwise jose would told him to stop and stay wide right.

    Bit silly to criticism him for that i feel.

    It's not some magical science that Young has been involved from RB...hmm, another former winger turned fullback is having an impact on a Jose side when the advanced right side player, this case Lingard, is pushing inside which I assume is allowing Young to be more involved up the pitch while on the opposite flank, Darmian is more conservative and not going forward as much?

    You forgot your own humility in that list.
     
    At least he makes up for it with his electric pace. Lingard's just like a pissed butterfly having drunk too much nectar.
    Indeed, luckily he can bulk up (which he absolutely has to do, getting bullied is a huge flaw in his game right now) and yeah, Lingard's been very poor today.

    Have a word with yourself.

    Nonsense.
     
    Rashford's the weakest player we've ever had, I'm sure of it. And goodness me Lingard.
    He like 19 years old. Better be skinny than to be overwheight like Rooney or Shaw. Ronaldo was skinny when he arrived but with the gym work he became a horse.
     
    5 of our 10 outfield players are just not good enough. None of the back 4 and Lingard.

    No point in Lingard staying wide on the right. He can't dribble anyway from the wing. But he should offer more support to Young.

    Wait... no white text?! :nervous:

    I only agree with point 4.

    Exactly.

    Concerning Lingard's position, he's doing exactly for Young what Mata does for Valencia, to drift centrally and open up the wing for the full-back to roam.
     
    Could someone open a thread on whether FA Cup matches should be held midweek or not?

    I'm tired of the FA taking up weekends (which should be for league matches only) with the FA Cup.
