Who said just?
He's grand in the bigger games for tactical reasons. He's utterly pointless in games like today.
I'm not really a big fan of Lingard, but like a few others above have mentioned, in the big games I don't mind him playing as he does well in putting pressure on the opposition players etc. It's in games like today he probably shouldn't be starting as he doesn't impose himself enough and these kind of games we need people with that knack of doing something out of the ordinary which 80% of the time he doesn't do.
Quiet game.
I thought he was very good today. He works incredibly hard and in this particular match, I thought he unsettled their build-up play.
Don't actually know what he is doing at times.
He mostly just gave away 5 fouls today
Started well. Maybe faded later
Yup, his pressing alone is worth playing him. Rarely gives a moment for the center halves to build out from the back.
The odd good game followed by 4-5 anonymous ones. It's why he shouldn't be a regular starter.
He worked hard as usual but didn't effect the game much, I really think if Martial can keep his workrate up like today we can play him with Rashford instead of Lingard.
He's like that Energizer bunny, can run all day but one slight push and he goes down.
Not his best game, think playing him every game actually makes him worse.
Squad player, starting an odd game and coming off the bench is his bread and butter.
He does a great job stretching the defense with his ever present runs.

I was just skipping through the match day thread and came across this post
Now all becomes clear, people who think Lingard is a good player are actually confusing him with other players.
He must be on the pitch somewhere.
Great play from Martial
really well done pass from Lingard as well

Think he should start as part of a front three with Rashford and Martial against City..
I agree with this. He actually reminds a quite a bit of Ji-Sung Park just with a little bit less energy, and a bigger knack for the odd moment of brilliance. Certainly a useful squad player, and the fact that he's homegrown is a bonus.
Off form atm. Clearly a squad player with his many limitations. Him playing in many recent games have to do with us having limited options, and tactics.
If he's going to play next against MCity, hope he'll have a great game

.No issues with him really (apart from the awful dabbing). Valued squad player.
Wouldn't surprise me if he scores against City.
He seems to step up in the big games.

Yesterday he pressed the keeper into hitting it out for a throw which was great.
9 times out of 10, he's about as prominent as Andre Gomes, then out the blue he puts in a Nedved performance with an absolute banger.
He's not great when he plays on the right imo.
He should either play just off the striker or on the left coming infield.
I'm not his biggest fan but I think we'd of looked better with Rooney on the right and Lingard on the left against Burnley.

Thats a big part of why he often looks so anonymous in games like he did yesterday. His skill set is much more suited to playing centrally.
Would be very surprised if we don't see him start Thursday night.
But we did fine against Burnley. Defended very well and were relatively clinical in attack.

I'm not saying we didn't.
Man City 0:0 Man Utd
He needs to play where mkhitaryan started as a false CF and let Rashford and Martial play around him. Lingard can create space that Mkhitrayan can't.
I was surprised he didnt start nor come on much sooner for Mkhi. Thought Mkhi was one of our poorest players.
I do think Lingard would have been isolated though cos we werent using the ball well today.

We couldn't do that every game because Lingard is far too inconsistent to start every game. Last night was a game he probably should of started though.
I was very surprised. Also I don't anticipate Jose to ever start the combination of Rashford/Martial/Miki in a big game again after last night and will probably favour Lingard instead of one of Martial/Miki.
Man Utd 1:1 Swansea
He has a good performance about every 5 games, needs to sort it out.
I'm a fan but he's been poor for a few games now.
Giving us nothing at the moment.

He's "meh", as he often is.
To be fair, compared to the rest, he's been good. Some nice runs.
Same, from decent squad player he has turned into nothing player who shouldn't be anywhere near the first eleven.
Could have been red.
Lost the ball pretty much every time he's had it.
He's been atrocious.
