[the hea]

His performance today was about the only positive to take away from this game.

 

[Jayvin]

Looked lively and occasionally threatening in the 1st half, 2nd half he was probably our worst player. Maddeningly frustrating to watch.

 

[Successful]

I think he's too heavy. He need to slim down a bit.

This. I called him a fraud at half time against Wolfsburg here but he seems to have found some kind of form since!

 

[Raees]

He's been fecking shocking today. Zero heart, zero character.

Not sure what he needs now, there's a player there but just doesn't seem interested, seems to have no competitive spirit at all.

Thats a post which should go in the Mata thread. Depay was trying to make things happen throughout. . Still frustrating but his fire for the game is back.

 

[SambaBoy]

His second half was up there with one of the worst I have seen from a United player. Saying that, he looked dangerous in the first half but he needs to pick and choose his moments to try take on his man and when to release it. He seems to run down too many blind alleys, the talent is there no doubt however I think he may be better centrally.

 

[OnlyTwoDaSilvas]

He limped through most of the 2nd half. Why wasn't he taken off?

 

[MelvinYeo]

He doesn't have the mentality to take the game by the scruff of its neck when things aren't going well. If the team isn't playing well, his head goes down.

 

[bosnian_red]

Good first half, picked up a knock pretty clearly in the second and barely had an impact after (like the rest of our team). Excited to see how him and Martial do under a new manager who picks the way the team plays based on the players he has, not forcing players to play a style that they aren't suited to.

 

[VorZakone]

Curious as to how he'll do under a new manager. Right now he's a bit shit.

 

[C'est Moi Cantona]

He doesn't have the mentality to take the game by the scruff of its neck when things aren't going well. If the team isn't playing well, his head goes down.

Which is fair enough given he's young and still adjusting, same could easily be said of Martial.

If United were run correctly then Depay could have been taken off when slightly injured, Martial moved out to the left, and a proper centre forward brought on to make something happen, but we just didn't have anybody.

 

[Big Ben Foster]

I like him- he's willing to take risks and he'll continue to improve. Let's show him some patience.

 

[Irrational.]

Much better performance tonight, but he could be a lot better if he simply did this:

I think he's too heavy. He need to slim down a bit.

 

[Devil may care]

Erratic, I thought he started very well but slipped into over complicating things and then faded, possibly due to the knock.

 

[Crashoutcassius]

Gives the ball away a huge amount, doesn't look good isolated on the wing. maybe under too much pressure.

Looks good in the final phase before a shot, and looks good when teams are a bit stretched. had 2 brilliant moment, 3-4 decent moments, rubbish otherwise

Hard to call this one

 

[tom33]

Behind Fellaini, he was our most dangerous player by some way. As I've said before, I expect it to be a while before he's up to speed with the Premier League, but I think he'll make it as long as we have patience and he puts in the hard graft.

 

[Sandikan]

has it all to prove to say the least.

awful time in our history to come in though, imagine if he'd joined when we were a strong team, would be so much easier for him​

He also worked his ass off, so I wouldn't call him rubbish in any way.

 

[drdoityourself]

Not much help from his left back, Mata hiding. So the players around him weren't helping. For me he did well today. Our team is very much a team that builds from the back and a total collapse in the second half did also starve him on having some time on the ball. His run and touch created a goal. Here's a guy who can actually make a difference, do something different from our dour football, and fans have zero patience with him? I can't understand it.

 

[Walters_19_MuFc]

Best performance in a while, although he was very quiet and quite wasteful in the second half.

 

[ZDwyr]

He started very well I thought. He faded after he got that knock though, which was disappointing. Is the least of our problems.

 

[Hernandez - BFA]

He really can't beat players can he?

 

[Sylar]

I think he misses his buddy Shaw making those overlap runs, which is understandable.}

Another one I think were not doing any favours with. This is a season he should be rotating with Young as he finds his feet with us (whilst keeping him hungry to have more minutes).

 

[Nighteyes]

He has good movement but everything else about his game is shite. Can barely run or beat his man or create anything. Young must be atrocious in training if he can't get ahead of Memphis. That or he's banged LVG's missus

Young lost his place by default. Absolutely undeserved. Not even coming off the bench when we are chasing a game and he could do a much better job than CBJ is just stupid.

 

[ivaldo]

He really can't beat players can he?

Against Wolfsburg he bear 3/4 players.

 

[simmee]

He's a slower, more egoistic and less interested version of Nani.

 

[Tosicsleftpeg]

Shocked at how bad his dribbling is. I thought he was a rapid inside forward who skinned people but at the moment he just does lazy tricks and gets tackled.

He will learn though as he does have good technique he simply needs to learn how to apply it.

 

[Ole90+3]

First step for Memphis is to lose weight.

Pretty simple. Sway the balance of strength training and cardio workout. Reduce calorie intake.

Once he is lighter, I reckon he will be able to make more use of his pace and dribbling ability.

 

[VorZakone]

It's not exactly rocket science, the guy is overbulked. He has little explosiveness and agility.

 

[Adisa]

Said it would be a problem even before we signed him. Shite defenders have no problem defending against him one on one.

Agreed, we need to find a way to make him understand that.

 

[Moriarty]

Agreed, we need to find a way to make him understand that.

Lock him in a room and starve him.

 

[Ole90+3]

Agreed, we need to find a way to make him understand that.

He wants to look buff for the ladies though.

We have a difficult task at hand.

I reckon we need some lyricists to come up with a meaningful, yet empathetic chant.

He is very hefty indeed, he's almost too bulky which hinders his pace.

 

[Sam]

He's a slower, more egoistic and less interested version of Nani.

He's also a lot less talented then Nani.

 

[Sammyjunn]

His final ball is off most of the time, but at least he has been beating the right back more often than not and has shown genuine pace at times. Bit promising.

 

[LeChuck]

Yea he's been good. Exciting and inventive which is what you want from a winger. Need a bit more quality off his end product but I think that will come in time.

 

[Ballache]

Looking much better, I noticed he's going on his left a bit more which makes him more unpredictable.

 

[OnlyTwoDaSilvas]

Better. Didn't fanny about as much, though there was still a little bit of fannying about. But most of the time, he just knocked it on and got the ball in. Some decent deliveries, but we're proper shite at attacking crosses anyway.
