Done more than Lingard in his brief cameo, which admittedly isn't saying much. Was the right sub to make, but he should have played on the right, with Martial on the left.

For some reason, I am reminded of fat albert when he runs.
Aye it's irrelevant now, the caftards can't be objective about his performances.
Didn't understand why he did this either. Depay did manage to create more than Martial though after he came on, probably because a bit more focus got shifted to the right with Martial but nonetheless, he did okay. Visibly lacking confidence though which is not a great thing for an attacker.
Well, scored 2 goals, 1 assist at the WC and named the 2nd best talent there, scored a couple times in Europe as well. Somewhere in between probably.
Aye he was totally at fault for the loss
Can you not see what kind of attitude he brings to the pitch? You know guys like Gattuso and Roy Keane??? Well, Memphis is the opposite to that!!!
It was a mixed bag at best Ivaldo. He was OK going forward and got into some decent scoring chances but there was still the lazy and slack play that makes him a luxury player we can't afford.
This guy has his confident levels on negative.
Why the feck lvg risk him on games like the last or this one.
He needs his confidence reconstructed from scratch, but instead this fecker (lvg) throws him to the pitch when pressure is way too high.
Thing is, despite him being shit today, he still young and needs more time, and a new manager obviously.

He created a good chance for Mata and could have scored but also had some crap passes and touches.
That chance of Jackson was really poor, but he created a chance for Mata, created that chance for himself which was a good attempt, and his attempt for Mata got blocked by an elbow, not sure if it was going in. But that must be wank, I suppose. It was no great performance but it's so typical that he get called out for that display, while realistically it was nothing worse (I'd say slightly better than the others).
We should give him another season and hope that he settles after a good pre season.
Was he actually a good finisher before he came or was that a myth?
Oh I agree he wasn't spectacular by any means, there were far worse players on the pitch that drew less attention though.
He wasnt a great finisher but PSV created many chances so obviously he's got to score a few, some better than the others. He generally knew where to position himself, scored some free kicks, some pens. But it seems to have regressed a bit.
1 of 4 players who were better then shit, CBJ, Blind & Martial being the other 3, made things happen set up a good chance for Mata who forgot his scoring boots also had a couple of half chances he made for him self
He was still getting into the right places to get chances, all it might have taken was a bit of luck and his confidence could have come back. It just shows how our squad has been mishandled to the point where we don't seem to have taken into account he is only 22 and not ready to be replied upon.
The £30M Kieran Richardson?
Currently, hes resembling the latter. Lets hope/pray for the former. Wouldnt bet my mortgage on it though.
It's actually sad watching Memphis try to maintain his brash and confident demeanour while trudging through the monstrous shower of shite he continues to leave in his wake.
Oh yeah, and happy birthday.
If Mourinho comes, he better step up in terms of energy and fighting because he'll spend a long time on the bench otherwise.
I definitely am worried about how little he has shown since he joined us. He just seems so limited, and not particularly good at anything.
I'm not writing him off though. Hoping it's just a patch of bad form and low confidence. We'll see how he goes next year with (hopefully) a new manager and a more functioning attack.

Mou doesn't do luxury players. He prefers hard working donkeys to a Depay type player.
He is good at cutting inside and shooting with his right foot to be fair.
Any better than Zaha or Nani? I'm regretting we didn't make more of an effort with Di Maria tbh.
Rooney had 1 shot. A 25 yard miss.
Lingard had 0.
Memphis had 4. 2 blocked and 2 on target.
Context.
He wasn't half as bad as some of the comments in here are saying. Yes he could have done more/better in certain circumstances but he was not alone in that either. Too much piñata bashing going on in this thread right now for me, personally.

Really wasn't bad today, but everyone is getting pelters. Even Smalling and De Gea, our best players all season long.
Some soft finishing, but he was making things happen, something nobody else was really doing today. He made a brain fart with one pass in particular but it was far from his worse game.

It only depends if the flair player wants to work hard or not. Look at the likes of Hazard, Ozil and even Benzema (who he criticized heavily before he adapted), they thrived under him most of the time. If Depay displays this attitude, he'll get benched and then sold.
Why are you pretending to be opta?
He isn't better than Nani, that is for certain.
1 - The amount of times that's been said to me. Disappointed.
He is much younger and could be!
Don't think he could have given more than he did today. He has a lot to learn as a player though, this is not about confidence.
It was wrong of LVG to switch Martial over to the right, but Depay did OK. At least he tried to make things happen. He looked a bit quicker today - Yedlin is a rocket, according to Rio, and Depay didn't look slower.
Thought he was okay today... Did at least more than Lingard and Rooney together... Martial was maybe our best attacking player. Didn't do much tho other than the goal.
Nani was our best player in a title winning campaign. Depay has a long long way to go to match that. Do you think Depay has enough to his game anyway? It seems to me that he is a one trick pony. Nani was two footed, could go past a man with speed or skill, was a very good crosser of the ball and could score from range.
Not even close to Nani. Still dirty we sold him, especially since it's the right wing (ie. the side he was always more consistent on, but rarely got to actually play on) that is open for somebody to stake a claim on.
Even on Nani's bad days, he still consistently created our best clear cut goal scoring chances every match.
Of course, I am a self-confessed Nani fan. He'll always be a massive 'what if' from me, as I reckon we mis-used him significantly and both parties are the worse for it.
Nani was here for around 8 seasons and was good for about 18 months max. Depay is not at that level yet but he's not even been here a season in a struggling team in a new country.
He needs time.
In another universe he'd have Gary Neville behind him covering up for him or Roy Keane in his ear.
I think he can develop into a good player. My only worry is that the standards have slipped, and the characters are missing to bring along a player like Depay.
Giggs, Rooney and Carrick have their own troubles..

Not a great performance from him, but not crap either. Hard to beat him with a stick over this game, as really he was one of the few players actually looking like they wanted to push forward and score. While he wasn't brilliant, he did more than Lingard did while he was on and there was no other real options on the bench to bring on with us chasing the game.
I think we really need him to get a goal soon. That way he can pick his head up a bit and start playing with a bit more confidence. You can tell from watching him that he is second guessing himself a lot of the time, or things are just not quite working for him. With this season wasted already, I wouldn't mind to much if we played Depay over Lingard for the rest of the season just to see if we can him to show some form like he had for PSV.
