For the games hes played, worst player I've ever seen for the club.
Hating Lingard
- Thread starter golden_blunder
- Start date
There is no situation where Lingard I’d valuable enough to Manchester United. Pereira is a far better backup to a top class No 10.
If Lingard is not getting the ball at the attacking third then he should drop deep to get the ball but this man just hides every game; waste of space.
Even though he does disappear in matches regurlarly, there certainly are other players that hide and don't impose themselves far more often. A lot of the things you mention I can agree with to a certain degree, but I would put most of it down to him playing in a team with so little structure and movement in his area of the pitch. And some of those elements I would also put down to ability/football intelligence rather than his attitude and workrate.
Worst player to ever get significant minutes at this club. Disgraceful little clown and Ole is an even bigger clown for picking him. My stomach churns whenever I see this little worm wearing our badge. Not watching another game he starts
To think we used to complain about Rooney starting at number 10.
I need a drink.

5 or 6 weeks ago he had a few games where he was decent and looked like he was starting to get back into form. That quickly disappeared though and he's back to the terrible form he was in for the rest of the season.
Pereira has been significantly better than Lingard this season at #10. Obviously he had those couple of shocking games when he was played in the midfield which has coloured a lot of peoples opinions of how he's done, but the rest of the season he's been absolutely miles better than Lingard (and Mata).
Don't even know what to say anymore.
Clearly the message was lost on you.
Always hated his personality, but used to like him as a player up until Ole's reign. Can't stand him now and he genuinely offers nothing.
Andreas Periera isn't good enough for this club and is three times the player Lingard is. Says it all.
Lingard had a purple patch for 4 months two years ago and done feck all since. Awful player.

It’s clear the confidence has gone, and I’m not sure itll come back.
He was hiding the whole game.Doesn’t want them ball and doesn’t want to be involved.

What service, he is being paid 5m pounds in 2019 with no goals or assist.
We did do that, didn’t we?
Yep, as soon as he was in the tunnel to the pitch he was walking with his head down. Was clear that he was never going to be up for it.
Even Piers Morgan putting the boot in
yawn, made more chances away to arsenal in middle of their new manager bounce, but need a scapegoat.
someone the clever people here and other social medias think hounding him will make him play better

Honestly at this point I just feel bad for him.
On the pitch he looks like he'd rather be anywhere but and it's a bit like Torres where every touch is sloppy and just so completely devoid of confidence.
Off the pitch we all know what's going on.
If I was Ole/the board I'd get him in with a counsellor and give him the rest of the season off so he can get his head straight 'cause every time he plays now it gets worse and worse for him.

This, a thousand times this. Infuriating to watch.
It says a lot about him when he should have been taken off at half time in his last 3 starts. Surely Ole has to stop using him. He simply isn’t good enough.
There needs to be a cull of the dross of players at this club. They have to move on Lingard, Jones and Matic in the summer. If he gets a new contract there needs to a riot at Old Trafford.

Fergie was a master of testing the younger players out and moving them on for the good of their careers if they weren’t good enough. A lot of them made it back to Premier League level, which is definitely where Jesse should be.
Unfortunately no one has realised this and his reputation is being tarnished pretty severely.
I have no problem with using younger kids as squad players to see if they’ll make it, but if they’re squad players by the time they’re 25+ it’s time to go.

Counsellor? He wasn’t good enough before his family issues. His little one month runs saved him before that. He needs to be shipped out. He’s Tom Cleverly but dances.
Need to carry a plant whenever he starts for us.
He's a waste of oxygen, we'd be better with 10 men.

Literally one of the worst players in the Premier League.
He would probably struggle in the Championship too.
Truly an awful player.

Probably the only player in existence who would love to be demoted and train with the kids.
He totally deserves it. Hate to see any people still defending him because he was nice to the fans, one of our own, family issue etc.
He is a footballer. We are gonna judge him on the pitch and he did absolutely nothing.

Yes, counsellor.
He's going through a load of shit right now and clearly it's affecting him. It's affecting him enough to go public with it in the first place. A counsellor would help.
And I say that regardless of whether he's good enough or not (he isn't). I say that as a human being. Being devoid of confidence on the pitch is one thing, having a ton of shit that you can't escape off it is another to cope with at the same time.
He can be sold whenever but I hope someone gets him some help if he isn't getting some already.
Some of the things on the pitch today and for the last few weeks are so beyond him just losing form it's hard not to look at the bigger picture. He's completely lost any ability to control the ball, his legs are heavy, he's completely lost it. There's a difference between being shit but still doing the stuff you normally do and the current Lingard on the pitch right now.
Shouldn't be anywhere near the first team squad yet ole keeps picking him, he's terrible and deserves all the hate
He’s a shambles. Nowhere near good enough. How many times this season have we said “ah, if Lingard had just done this right at 0-0 it’s a different game”?
An embarrassment but he’s the leader of a lot of frauds. Starting Lingard is an easy excuse because he’s the only problem apparently.
If the message is "Lingard should be given a free pass", then yeah it is lost on me and most others on here.
Don't hate him at all. Picking him despite being super crap is totally on the manager.
But the problem is almost every player in the team (except maybe James, Greenwood) is more than capable of doing a Lingard.

How the hell can you say Jesse Lingard is good and brings something to the team. He is crap. Before I thought he was at least a bench option or a squad option. He is not even that now as he literally does nothing and just runs around alot. Always passes sideways and never passes forward. He has 0 GOALS AND ASSISTS in a year for christ sake.
It's not on Lingard. It's on Ole.
Yeah at this point it's all on Ole. I imagine Ole was like "he usually scores against this lot, Chuck him in". If that was his reasoning we might as bring back Rooney.
Poor again. I dont blame Ole for bringing him in for this particular game though, at this time of year rotation is paramount. In saying that Lingard appears to be getting worse with everygame. Very early on he had 2-3 different chances to put someone through on goal and the pass was always slow and behind the player. its simple stuff at any level.
Lingard does not deserve to be at this club. Shit player with cowardly immature mentality.
