Top post.
If I were to comment in the Rooney thread the fact he messed up a half chance inside the box wouldn't be my only contribution to it, nor would I downplay anything he did well either. You're not looking at the game objectively and you've already formed an opinion on his performance based on past games before you've even seen him play. That's the difference.
Yes. Can you debate less agressively? He has defensive responsibilities in the position he plays in. Whether he cuts in or not he is part of the midfield. He's shite at it.
Also been crap
Liverpool 0:1 Man Utd
Enough is enough with this donkey.
Dude is awful. I wouldn't have him on the bench.
Has to learn to keep the ball when we're under pressure.
A terrible cameo but in fairness to him this was a tough game to come in.
Thought he was defensively superb today, came and and stopped them creating anything down their left today
We just beat Liverpool at Anfield. You're allowed to enjoy it for a couple of hours at least ffs.
Jesus Christ some people on this place. Enjoy the win ffs! He actually did well defensively.
Tried to score at the end and lost the ball when we needed to keep possession. You have to defend from the front too.
Didn't do much and didn't get a chance to do much either but the knives are already out. Where's the abuse for Martial losing the ball several times?
His first touch was also an awful clearance that put Liverpool back on the attack but we will forgive him that as he just came on the pitch.
Lacked composure on the break I thought.
He is technically very poor but today is not a day to be angry.
He is too one dimensional--Cut in and shoot, rinse and repeat. He looks a bit slow as well..
There was a counter where he was going to be one on one with the keeper if he could just get past his marker. It's speaks volumes that I had zero confidence a chance was going to come out it.
He didn't disappoint, the defender came out on top quite easily.

Just seen this bump
Some of you are just ridiculous. "Cut in and shoot, rinse and repeat" - most goals he's created came from beating his man to the line on their left ffs.
Great win but a terrible player. But anyone that watched a bit of Eredivisie could see that Wijnaldum was the guy to buy not that flashy knob.
Could this be the next Anderson.Full of potential.
Some people on here....give the young lad a break. I stand by the fact his time here went downhill once Shaw was injured. He had some decent performance in Europe and score goals. A bit more patience and less knee jerk, we might have two of the brightest attacking prospects in Europe.
We might but there's nothing other than hope and blind faith that suggests it. If he plays for anyone else people here would be falling over themselves laughing at him.
What goals were they?
Hope and blind faith? What about giving him the benefit of time or don't we do that anymore with young players. Attitudes like that will prevent any potential young player to come here.
Anyone with the exception of our scouting department and our manager who actually coached Wijnaldum for 2 years..
He's getting the benefit of time. Me giving an honest opinion on a football forum isn't going to stop players signing for us. What makes you think he could be one of the best young players in Europe? Lingard could be one of the best young players in Europe too but it's bloody unlikely.
Exactly. If Wijnaldum was that good, whys he ended up at Newcastle. It's funny cause PSV, Spurs and Liverpool scouts must have Sh1t in there eyes too....
Calm down. Completely different playing for Newcastle than it is player for a massive club like United with all the pressure it brings. One thing we always hear about Memphis is that he works really hard and is determined to be the best. We need to give him time.
Benefit of time isn't reflected in the comments on here. Sometimes people forget it's someone's son or brother they are making those comments about. Forums are a reflection of fans opinion and despite of how much money players are making, fans opinions count when your living in the city you play for with your family. PSV weren't talking to Lingard or the last time I looked, he's not been to a WC either.
I'm sure the likes of you weren't saying don't buy him cause he's going to be crap, no more than predicting what's going to happen in the future either. What about support the young players and a bit of patience before writing anyone off before they've even been here one season....
I can only judge him on what I've seen. So far he's been useless. Hopefully he gets better but this idea he just needs support and he will one of the best around is nonsense. He needs a lot more ability for that. My words or your words have absolutely no bearing.
the 5 he has, as per the top of this exact page.
That his total assists. How many came from beating a player to the line and crossing? The ones that instantly come to my mind are the cut in and cross against Bruges. The cut in and pass away to Bruges. His pass through the middle against Ipswich and him shooting and hitting the post against Southampton.
The majority of his goals and assists came from a position coming diagonal from the left either with or without the ball. His goal against PSV is an example.
He is capable of a good final ball, he's been inconsistent with it at United however; Brugge cross to Fellaini, the almost-winner against Newcastle are a couple examples.
Which is what was initially said. He's incredibly predictable. As it goes he has no assists outside of games against Bruges or Ipswich.
It seems pretty obvious that he's not as gifted as the likes of Martial and Sterling in terms of close control and being in complete control of the ball in tight situations. However, hopefully what we've seen this season is a bad representation of him in this regard, and even if he's not going to match the above two in the same, he can still do it to the acceptable level required at a club like United, and make the most of his other supposed strengths such as strength, invention, crossing and shooting.
If his season doesn't burst into life before the end of the season, we have an important decision on our hands, whether to put faith in him for next season, or send him out on loan to regain his mojo. Personally, I'd send him out on loan if LVG stays for next season, and give him a shot (in pre season till august) in case we hire a new manager whose system uses him better.
