He's strong as feck. Anybody that posts the words "bulk up" at any point in the future need vacating down a super massive black hole.
POINT AND LAUGH
A bit over the top alright but its not a hilarious claim.
Only Ronaldo,Rooney,Giggs.Whiteside are rival to that claim from what I have seen.
Best,Edwards,Charlton are obviously going to be in that bracket if you were around to see it.
How many other teenagers have looked so good for us at this age?
Has he? I honestly can't remember hearing it.
It should be to the tune of Madonna's Holiday
He'll be scary good once hes got a bit of experience and bulked up a little.
At 18, the influence he has on games is amazing.

We already sing tunes to Yellow Submarine and Ob La Di, Ob La Da.
Tidy.
feck me, I can never keep up with all the songs and chants. Fairly sure I have heard that Starman one.
POINT AND LAUGH
You seem to be an attention seeker mate. Get over it already or just jog on.
Secondly, I wasn't around in the days of Charlton or Best. I was around in the days of Giggs, Whiteside, Ronaldo and to be honest, Januzaj is a fantastic player. If you want to debate it further, then please feel free to do so.
Looks promising again. But I'm not going overboard. As you would expect for a youngster with a lot of quality and potential he is hit and miss at times and he was today.
Some lovely moments though

He faded in the second half, was the right time to take him off.
I just hope he doesn't burn out.
He was virtually redundant in the second half due to a great deal of our attacks came from the right hand side. Moyes must have identified a weakness with the Villa left back and concentrated his strengths on that. The way Valencia and Rafa went passed the left back was a bit like Lennon skinning Evra every single time recently.
He's the best of both worlds, has the fearless exuberance of youth and the technical ability to back it up.
Wasn't our best player today. Get rid.
Looked tired in the second half.
You can feel his appreciation to manager and club in general for giving him chance. Not the first time he's the engine of this team.
Right now looking more confident than Young and Zaha and even Nani at some point which only adds more cherries to the mix.

Movement is superb for his age. Execution will improve over time, you can see the ideas are all there.
Thought he was somewhat poor in his choices today.
Still shows the class he's got at times. Wonderful balance and confidence.

Great to see him attack the crosses from which our first two goals arrived. Unlucky with the header hitting the post. His general play was a bit careless, a few poor passes, sometimes holds on to the ball too long and ends up getting dispossessed.
Made a few mistakes today, but more often than not he makes up for them very quickly with a little bit of class. Due to his age and lack of experience, there's obviously going to be games and moments where things don't quite work out for him, so I'm not too fussed that he had a bit of a quiet game.
needs to play some every match. huge upside.
Is he the most fouled player in the league?
It feels to me like referees aren't giving us enough free kicks when he is challenged and clearly fouled. He needs someone to kick him, or two players going in, for a referee to award us a free kick.
Edit - Only Hazard and Barkley have been fouled more in the league.

Also, I like how Jamie Carragher very nearly managed to turn his name into John O'Shea after the match.
It's awesome when he glides the length of the field. It's a rare ability, particularly when you consider that he isn't an athletic brute in the mould of Bale or Toure. He manages it all the same, however.
At one point there were 4 Villa players trying to get the ball off him.
Mixed bag from the lad today IMO. As others have said, he sometimes takes too much time on the ball and loses it in dangerous areas. Then at other times, he shows why he's going to be a truly outstanding player. If he wasn't so talented, his current minor flaws would go unnoticed. It really goes to show how high he's set the bar for himself already.

I'm very happy he proved me wrong for today! Still wouldn't get carried away though! He still needs some consistency.
He really shouldn't be playing every game but I don't think Moyes has much of a choice. Hopefully Kagawa and Nani can get back to some kind of form allowing us to rest Januzaj
Was very good in the first half. Would be brilliant if he had a little bit more pace to run at defenders
Yeah I know. I just was reading this thread after the event and found it funny.
What? He's far from lacking in pace.
It's certainly better being a playing who can run with the ball under complete control, rather than a quicker player that doesn't have it under control half the time, i.e. Walcott.
I didn't say he lacks pace. Just wish he had that bit more like Valencia to enable him to get that extra yard and get away from defenders
Thought he was the quietest of our front 4 today...
Most of our attacking play came from the right, with Valencia and Rafa to be fair.
Still, he made himself a lot more available than Kagawa does when shunted out left.
Lovely player and I had no idea that he could head a ball like that.
