I just love his goal celebration. What is that he's doing btw?
Goal reminded me a lot of Macheda vs Villa a couple of years ago.

We wouldn't be doing due diligence if we didn't look to get in a better #9 and better RWF than the two currently playing there, I like Lingard but I think squad player is the role he'll have here.
Without a doubt we'll get a new winger in unless Memphis/Januzaj somehow up their games at some point.However I don't think it's that obvious that the new signing will automatically set the league alight so it's too early to dismiss the players we have.
Obviously there is no guarantees of anything much in sport, but there are players clearly a lot more talented than Lingard out there, if he can somehow outperform them then great, but I haven't seen anything to suggest he's a player who can start week after week if we intend for this to become a PL challenging side.
Jesse's goal was superb. When it comes to forwards, I'm not looking for consistently great play over 90+ minutes as much as I am the ability to strike the dagger in the heart at any moment in time. The other 8-9 outfield players have to be consistently good throughout a match to keep the team in a position to allow your forwards to take well the one or two chances they're going to get.
The goal celebration, though, should be ditched.

Reminds me a lot of our own, "3 Lungs Park"?
Good defensively... Physically not a monster.. Follows Tactics.. nothing special.. Has a knack of scoring the important goals...

Really! like those important goals against PSV and Newcastle?
It's Cam Newton's not his, not as bad as Sturridge's

What you're implying there is really harsh on any player let alone an inexperienced player, besides which he did score an important goal against Newcastle.
But missed an easier chance that would have sealed 3 points.
It's hardly harsh mate. he's well paid to hit the back of a net from less than 10 yards out; he doesn't often enough.How's that harsh? Bottom line. He's mowhere near enough good for Utd
How many of our attacking players can you not attribute at least 1 or 2 bad misses against this season? It's a harsh thing to hold against him, especially in a game where he also scored a nice goal.
Bottom line

Only Memphis scored against PSV.
Of Lingard's four goals, three have been the opening goals of the game (West Brom, Stoke and Chelsea). The goal against Newcastle put us 2-0 up.
Considering the difficulty we have with scoring goals, opening the scoring can be considered pretty important.
He could become 'our Pedro' though and it's lazy but not neccesarily an inaccurate comparison. His ceiling might be a 'Young' but he doesn't play like Young, his movement is more an inside forward. The potential for Lingard is if he plays in a fully firing Utd team (i.e a much better one than now) fitting in where neccessary but obviously he's probably not going to be good enough to absolute first team choice. I guess the difference is that apart from your generic 'good' utlity man, he's one of our own, thus 'belongs' more and I'd like to see him grow with the team. People like Campell are equally/more talented but his mindset might be elsewhere if he's not getting the games. I don't think that's the case with Lingard and in the long term a Pedro comparison can be apt.
Pedro's talent shouldn't be overshadowed by his Chelsea outings but likewise it shouldn't cloud his failings/also not playing in the same system or with the same calibre of Barca players. Obvious to say but Lingard's game will evolve playing with better players I believe and he'll fit in more due to his style (running between the lines, offering different option than a like-for-like).
He's doing a thing called "the dab" or dabbing or whatever. It's kinda stupid. Not sure where it came from and what it means.
There are much bigger faults in our team the Jesse but give the lad his due because he's come in for some heavy stick. For me Rooney isn't scoring enough so we certainly need a striker come the summer. If we can pull off a miracle and get Kane in Rooney can drop back to his number 10. Then that leaves Martial on the left and possible another winger to complete with Jesse.
If we get Jose in charge then that's bye bye for Mata sadly.

OK! Thanks for that information. I thought it was his own signature celebration. I miss an original celebration, kind of like Ravanelli with the shirt over his head.
The feck
wow.
That pancake's tiny
Sunderland 2:1 Man Utd
Yet another lazy pass from him that results in Darmian getting injured. This sloppiness in his play is not good enough.
General play is just awful.
Scoring the odd good goal is fine but his role is more than that.
Scoring the odd good goal is fine but his role is more than that.
Has been good in this recent run but after Sunderland scored, the game dynamic changed. We're chasing goals against a deep and dual layered defensive block. Lingard is good at building play and keeping it safe but he's not the best option we have at forcing a position through runs beyond the defensive line, stretching play, shooting or dribbling past a man. He can do them all but simply put, Memphis offers more than he does in those aspects.
For that reason, I'd sub him at HT for Memphis. Though that does leave Love in a very insecure position defensively. Would need the Carrick-Schneiderlin double pivot to really work hard and close the spaces necessary to cover as much as possible.
Might be better to have Rooney from the right, Martial probing centrally and Memphis wide left considering our attacks have been predominantly down the left anyway.

Messing up a good counter attack scenario there. Just has no brain.
If he had a brain he'd be dangerous.
Sorry lad...just not good enough.
Needs to be subbed off at half-time.
Indeed. He is awful when the opposition play a pressing game.
Is there a reason Marrinor is ignoring every foul on him today?
Because he hasn't been fouled?
I am quite surprised he made it that far in United.
Have to agree with your assessment! Maybe a semi decent squad player but he'd be nowhere near a starter in any the top 6 in the league!
Are you serious?
The Sunderland full back flung him to the ground and then Rodwell took him out in the centre of the field.
Nani
As for Lingard, fantastic goal and he's a consistent goal threat but his overall play during the game simply is non existent. He's just not a very good winger tbh. Would be interesting to see him being played upfront though.
Bringing this backup. Still think it's valid, I just think he's bang average on his all round play. His only genuine contribution that first half was nicking the ball off the Sunderland player midway through the half that set us off on a break. Obviously the boy has talent, you don't score the goals he has without it, but i'm struggling to see how he fits as a starter for us.
Mysterious, isn't it? He's scored and created in patches, but he's really average.
Sick of seeing average shits like Lingard getting regular games for the club. Not good enough.
Maybe it's just me having a bad memory but there seems to be an issue with the right wing in general.
