HahaIt's hilarious to see the number of people who expected Depay to waltz in and immediately replace Young on the left. Probably the same one's who are under the impression that he's some sort mazy dribbler and is going to go past players for fun when really, he's more or less at the same level as Young when it comes to dribbling with the ball.
It was never going to happen. As sad as it might sound, Ashley Young is the best thing about our attack right now and all those moaning and whining about him not being dropped should just give it a rest. Depay is more likely to be dropped than Young. In fact, pretty much every person in our attack is more likely to be dropped than Young and rightly so.
Besides, the experiment of him playing through the middle has plenty of promise and definitely worth sticking with for a few more games.
To be fair to @Trigg , I'm fairly certain he's talking about Young there. If not....
he's more or less at the same level as Young when it comes to dribbling with the ball..
That can't be true. Young's never been able to dribble with the ball. Delivery, work rate and set peices? Yeah. Dribbling? Nope. If you youtube "Ashley Young dribble" you get a page full of FIFA videos.
feck me!
Yep, Young has a grand total of about two tricks. Granted, he does us them effectively.
He has to score that one, that's just poor, completely rushed it.
Don't think he's been poor at all, should have scored but that movement was something we've lacked since ronaldo basically, so its encouraging.
It wasn't far off and the run was good. Even Shearer and Henry didn't score them every time. Not his night but you can see the talent.
Yeah. Annoying really. Despite the miss he's played well but you'll see people say he was poor because of a narrow missFor some people, it's always either piss poor or world class. There is no middle-ground.
