Fecking hell, the amount of people writing him off in here :wenger:
Give the kid some time. He obviously has potential, and needs time adapting, and like every single other attacking player in our squad, needs a different manager. There's a reason that even world class players like Di Maria struggled at United. Even the best players around can look shite under Van Gaal
 
He has been here 6months and I'm yet to see one outstanding quality. One!
 
Watch their second goal again and his reluctance to put his body on the line is for the world to see. A talentless coward, that's who he is.

Yeah man because the rest of the team has played with balls. Notice a pattern? The entire team plays like fecking pussies.

Really? Where were all those other brave men charging the ball down with their neck outstretched from that shot then? He's playing poorly in a poor side, it frankly rather childish the way you react to it.
 
Missing a header is bad, but it happens, what I can't understand is why the feck did he hesitate, he could have played it way earlier but he waited for their player to press him and then tried to play it back.
 
Playing on automatic pilot. Not good enough, needs to seriously improve on his decision making and awareness.
 
The header aside, he's been shit all season. Finding hard to see that he will ever be top class player.

Not sure how you came to that conclusion. I can't see anything in his game that suggests he either has potential or any real quality. I really don't know what our scouting report on him would have said. He isn't quick, he isn't strong, he isn't skillful, he hasn't got good technique, isn't a good passer, he can't cross, he can't beat a man...

Agreed.
 
Should have sliced it out for a corner, or over his head for a throw. Not enough pace on the ball and too far away to even try to header that backwards.

That aside, he's not been our worst player today. That's not really a measure of quality, but I still think he will come good.
 
Without LVG at the club Memphis might not have the dutch connection to keep him in the squad...he might find himself gone if the next manager doesn't rate him.
 
I honestly wouldn't mind if for some reason he never plays for us again.

Same goes for Mata, Fellaini, Rooney, Carrick, Bastian, Blind and Jones.

Back to a club that suits his level. Although paradoxically currently that's us.

And he's off. Shocking half from the whole team. Him especially.

But he can do all of that. He's just been very inconsistent with all of those things. Lack of confidence, and worst of all, the shit style that doesn't encourage any player like him. He'll need time to get it all to click, as it always happens with young players, but he has shown those things on occasion, just not consistently or all of it together really.
 
When Nani or whomever was a bit ropey in their first season, we had others who kept him out, these days we're reliant on 21 year old Depay whos been playing in the dutch league in a do or die game away to Stoke, says a lot.

I actually hate Memphis just now, but I dont want to write him off completely yet.

I disagree. He's consistently shown he hasn't got any of the qualities I mentioned.
 
I do not believe he is naturally a terrible footballer. He is just being managed poorly, just like Di Maria when he was here at United last season. We need a manager that understand the infrastructure of good attacking football.
 
We'll learn more about him with the next manager. Not good enough so far.
 
He was clearly very overrated. Down on confidence doesn't help. He has been shocking though. Horrendous today.
 
Looks like a broke rapper, weighs as much as a a heavy weight boxer and plays like a donkey. Van Gaal probably deserves the sack just for buying him. Even Anderson had a good debut season.

Right now, it is hard to argue with any of that. He was awful
 
So much for his 'confident' interview. Just another crap PR interview. Show it on the pitch.
 
Was looking forward to seeing him after his recent interview, he sounded fired up...then his brain farted.

LVG said his best position was central after his performance against Watford...hasn't played there since. feck up after feck up.
 
Been underwhelming but he has youth in his defence so time should be afforded.
