Not every team needs a Lingard. In fact most world class teams have zero Lingards but rather have footballers who they can trust to do more than run as a front 3 player.He does the lingard role phenomenally well. His sole purpose was to disturb their DM. His interception at the halfway line led us to our goal. Every team needs a Lingard. He is our Park Ji Sung
If I had said assists or goals then you would be right, but I didn’t, I said movement. You’ll have to use your eyes to judge that one. If you had, you’ll have also spotted the terrific little throughball he played in the second half, along with his crucial involvement in our goal. I know you’ll struggle because stat man Dave can’t quantify it for you. Keep rambling on though.It's even more embarrassing when some posters go on and on about his "world class movement" game after game after game in the absence of any goals or assists or key passes.
Came to say something similarWas possibly our best player in the first half. Spurs couldnt live with him.
He done fine today, can't really criticise him. His running in the first half confused Spurs and was an asset. We all know (well most do) that he is very limited on the ball and shouldn't be starting every game, but games like today he shows his worth.
The thing is you think anyone who criticizes Lil JBlingz can’t recognize all this whimsical movement. But it’s been acknowledged by everyone as the only thing he seems capable of. And save us the world class movement stuff. Go find us some other world class movement players hahaha. As if he’s got some special skill. He just runs and hides from the ball in the final third so he’s not tasked with having the ball at his feet in key moments.If I had said assists or goals then you would be right, but I didn’t, I said movement.

I can never recall such a high profile player lauded for decking moving around. It’s absurd and feels like a practical joke at this point.
That, my friend, is silly talk or just subjective at best. Surely not grounded in facts or analytics. All I’ll say is Lingard will be upgraded and we will score more goals. Because as it stands he’s part of the attacking triumvirate and doesn’t want the ball in the final third.I hate it so much when people say 'you don't understand football.' But they will say it to you, and they will be right.
If every player is so brave and talented as to wait for the ball to feet all the time, no-one moves, no gaps form, no-one ever gets the opportunity to beat a man, and nothing happens. Without Lingard, Martial cannot do what he does. Without Lingard, Rashford cannot do what he does. Without Lingard, Pogba cannot do what he does. You could pick the best twenty attacking moves we've produced so far under Solskjaer and Lingard will have a foot on the ball in every single one of them, because he is the moving part that fits these star players together.

Rashford made the run Jesse was refusing to make. Had Jesses made that run Marcus would’ve been through at a better angle. To act like Jesse is always making the right runs (and doing it on purpose) is silly.Ffs grow up.
When people ask the idiotic question of “what does he actually do?” you might find people repeating the same thing. Try and follow context and stop regurgitating the same shit to criticize a player irrespective of what he does and actually use your eyes. It seems like the vast majority of people; fans, oppose and journalists alike, can appreciate what he brings to the side. No one said he’s a world beater, but there’s a broader scale between shit and amazing. No matter how much you try to vilify movement and workrate, it was those strengths that make him integral to the winning goal. His movement created space for others (see the Rashford chance in the first half), and he used the ball well when he had it (see the throughball for Martial in the second). He played well.
You didn’t need to explain how our attacking Tom Cleverly plays to me. I watch almost every game.I don't see it. He asks for the ball as much as anyone on our team, even if it's often just to pop it straight back to them as he runs across the play. That 'movement' (sorry to trigger you with that word) is what pulls defenders out of position so that when his teammate gets the ball back, the pass or the run that wasn't on before now is. It's almost embarrassing to have to explain this.
Speak for yourself. He's not Martial or Rashford but 'very limited' is incredibly harsh. His technical ability is very tight, his passing is clever and his brain is one of the best in our team. A touch more composure on two occasions from Rashford and Martial and he'd got himself in position to score two tap-ins.
Jesse wasn't on to make thise runs. He was there to drag the centre backs apart to isolate Martial and Rashford out wide and killing Spurs diamond by pressing Spurs deepest midfielder.Rashford made the run Jesse was refusing to make. Had Jesses made that run Marcus would’ve been through at a better angle. To act like Jesse is always making the right runs (and doing it on purpose) is silly.

My God are you delusional. Lingard is occupying the defender, pulls wide and leaves a gaping hole for Rashford to exploit. If Lingard makes that run he has a player tracking him all the way. Had Rashford then squared the ball it would've been a tap inRashford made the run Jesse was refusing to make. Had Jesses made that run Marcus would’ve been through at a better angle.

He’s been shite so far. Today he was invisible & didn’t do anything & for me has been quite poor. Martial RashFord & Pogba have all up their game but I feel like Jesse is just strolling about in casual mode. He needs to step up otherwise like today he’ll be getting substituted more often in matches. But I still think he should be in the starting lineup.
Go on, admit it, you haven't got a fecking clue what you're watching have you ?
I'd suggest you watch darts, hit board(tick), get big scores until you need low scores(tick)
Rinse, repeat.....
Great post. Thought he faded in the second half but most of the team were visibly tired. Glad there's someone who can sensibly assess Lingard without calling him a 'nothing player'.Lingard apparently offers nothing
What absolute nonsense.
The first goal was down to his interception & his first time pass back to Pogba which allowed him to play the first time ball in to Rashford.
If Lingard had spent any more time on the ball - that attack would be off because it would have allowed their defenders to track back.
Great player.
His appreciation will continue with managers here at United whilst the fans continue pretending to know everything about football.

Thank you. Jesse will be nowhere near the next title winning side. I’ve got just the right mix of patience and shithousery to remind you all when that is the reality.Having followed your series of posts in a short space of time, it’s easy to come to the conclusion you are a terrible poster. You’ve said some really half witted things in this thread.
Your petty and childish insults towards Lingard are not only tiresome, but remove any credibility in your ability to objectively assess said player.You didn’t need to explain how our attacking Tom Cleverly plays to me. I watch almost every game
I realize I have to gush about movement to be accepted here. I’m okay hanging out on the fringes in this case.Your petty and childish insults towards Lingard are not only tiresome, but remove any credibility in your ability to objectively assess said player.
Wrong, you just have to make non-shite posts, which you have failed to do in this thread recently.I realize I have to gush about movement to be accepted here. I’m okay hanging out on the fringes in this case.
Just pointing out a guy who lacks composure...lacks composure. Tries extra hard in an attempt to make up for that, bless him.Wrong, you just have to make non-shite posts, which you have failed to do in this thread recently.
Why? So next time he has a bad game you can prove everyone else wrong? Let me save you some time. You are right.I realize I have to gush about movement to be accepted here. I’m okay hanging out on the fringes in this case.
@ForestRGoinUp Pal, give it a rest. The Lingard movement brigade is out in force today, and frankly he was better than his usual useless self you should agree I think. He won the ball back couple of times and had 1-2 good moments, but he gets praised for less on here. Overall it's a good day for United fans, so why bother?
