It doesn't feel like West Ham are a man down because Lingard has been invisible and has offered nothing in attack apart from that terrible miss. Shouldn't have started the game, we have much better options.
 
He should have scored, yea, but Valencia's was clearer and Lingard had a fraction of a second to react.

Valencia had little more time to react in fairness. They were both dreadful misses... I'd say Lingards was worse because he's smack bang in the centre of the goal
 
Miss aside, I don't remember him doing... anything? He has his uses as a player but not today, he needs to come off for Martial.
 
It's like when people defend Fellaini.

He is nowhere near good enough.
 
Get him off, offers nothing (even his movement has been shite today)
 
His performances are a throw of the dice, either he's very good or utter garbage. So frustrating.
 
Nothing performance, Nothing player. No wonder we're 6th when a player like him has been starting ahead of Mata/Martial/Mkhi all season.
 
@top1whoisman just repaying the tag, care to defend him?
I had to defend my point of view when I was unexpectedly tagged.
This is exactly the sort of performance I have come to expect from lingard (even ignoring the open goal), large percentage of these games sprinkled with the odd good bit of play
 
He should be the impact player and Mata or Martial should be starting instead. Lingard has shown no sign of being capable as a regular starter in a side that wants to be in the top 4, let alone win the league.
 
He's a decent squad player. And squad players need to start games every so often, especially when you've played 2 days ago.

But obviously he's a big step down in threat from Mhky and Martial.

I'm not sure what's to debate beyond that.
 
I think with the game poised as it is, we need Martial on asap. Much better dribbler. Well, better footballer, but you get what I mean.

For me he's too much of a step down, we are so blunt on the side he plays on
 
Last couple of minutes are the nail in the coffin. Lingard has been utter toilet.
 
And that is exactly, exactly! Why lingard is our worst winger out of mhiki rashford mata and martial.
Run at your fecking man!
 
Not sure what makes him good enough to be a squad player for us. He excels at nothing. At best he's average, at worst he's a liability.

Rashford has just shown us what we need from a winger (and Martial in the last game). Lingard is an example of what we don't need.

He's another Cleverley; bang average player who wouldn't look out of place in a Sunderland shirt, but will get defended by many United fans because he's come up from the academy.
 
Rashford sub changed the game, another bloody awful game from Lingard.

Maybe a loan in January would allow Jose to asses if he's worth keeping, especially with the current contract dispute (Jesse wanting £120k+ and the club 'only' prepared to double his wages to £60k/week).
 
It's clear he's a more defensive option with a view to taking less risks. The second they went down to 10 Mourinho didn't care for a winger tucked in if we weren't creating much.

The fact that your first thought after we took the lead was to come in here and moan about Lingard says everything.
 
Awful performance. His ability to be tidy in possession is useful at times, but against 10 men his refusal to take his man on was damaging. He also kept running inside rather than keeping the width or making runs in behind which made it difficult for us to create chances despite the man advantage. Rashford stayed wide and was a constant threat getting in behind the defenders when he came on.

Shouldn't get another chance for awhile. Very disappointing performances since the assist against West Brom.
 
It's also worth to mention their RB was there for the taking. Havard Nordveit is a DM or a centre back and it showed once Rashford came on. Any winger with any kind of positivity would have a field day, being one man up.
 
Miss was one of those things, not really sure you can blame him for that. With how Martial and Rashford are playing he surely won't be starting vs Liverpool
