It's been decent but big moments like that chance he could have easily passed to Rooney could be costly in the future.

One thing I will say about him, watching him over the past few games, is that he needs to use his left foot a bit more, even just a little. If he can do that, he will truly be unplayable.
Yeah that's one but generally he's been more concrete than vs Newcastle.
Agreed.
He needs a goal today. He's been playing well though - Rooney 2 on 1 aside, he's made the right decisions every time. Should have had an assist for Schweinsteiger, too.
Good game. Constantly dangerous. He should have been subbed imo. He plays non stop.
Was very good, but again, looked knackered post-70 minutes. Not sure why LVG won't give him a rest!
Imagine Januzaj in Moyes form on one wing and this fella on the other, he's beast I hope he will work hard so we can see him reaching the very top, he has all the potential
Special player. Great assist and deserved a goal. Should've won a penalty too.
A joke he didn't get a goal tonight. Very good game from him. You saw Schwein in his ear constantly too. Noticed it in the background when Chich was lining up his penalty. I actually wanted Memphis to take it, and I bet he was expecting it too. Needed another goal under his belt tonight to keep him sharp. Excellent assist for Rooney's first, and played Herrera in well for his second.
Dangerous for an hour, then looked tired and went right down to first gear. People need to give him a better final ball - when we counter, he's always in miles of space due to his pace.

Another good game.
Once his decision making process improves he's going to be really good. Can get past players with ease, he can just hold on to the ball a bit too long at times though.
Hangs onto the ball too long sometimes but once he gets that sorted will be a beast.
He's not great at penalties, missed about as many as he's scored. I don't expect him to take them any time soon unless he's been working on them in training after de Jong got that duty at PSV somewhere at the start of last season.
Lovely to see a player so young and with that "fear factor" play consistently well. Most flair player i have seen either have great or terrible games. He can assist and score. We have missed that since Ronnie.
PS: He seems stronger mentally than Di Maria as well. It is weird for me to see someone that young and with so much less experience than Di Maria have stronger character. You can just see it in his eyes, he looks to improve and not dwell on disappointments.

Sometimes he was frustrating tonight but mostly shown us what we can expect to come, very very happy with how he's started the season. That assist was wank worthy and I didn't know he had that in his locker.
Champions league record so far:
2 games
2 goals
2 assists
Not bad at all even if they were against Brugge.

Class tonight. Should've scored but his pass to Rooney was brilliant. He played in Herrera to square it to Rooney and the run before laying it off to Schweinsteiger was great.
Yep, he needs to learn to release the ball earlier on some occasions. To be expected though, from a young and confident player.
If this is his young, inexperienced settling in period, can you imagine how good he'll be in a year or two? Special talent.
Started off like he was still playing in the Newcastle game, then got it sorted out and started looking for his forward partners and ended up having a good game.
Only concern is that LvG will burn him out. Wouldn't have minded him getting a rest either against Brugge or Newcastle. Will wait and see though because he was good again.
Did really well again tonight but my only worry is that he's been very poor in the league so far. Hope that changes soon! Same goes for all of our attack to be honest.
"Very poor" is a bit of an exaggeration. But I agree with you that his European performances have been much better than his three PL ones.
He's definitely an exciting talent. When you take into account his age, there aren't many in the world with more potential. His decision-making is still a bit lacking at times, but he has all the attributes to reach that much talked about "world class" or - as Fergie would put it - "top, top" level.
Fantastic run for the first goal. Granted that Brugge's defenders were all over the shop last night, but Memphis really tore them a new one.
The fact that hes still so young makes it even more exciting

Good at shooting but bad at finishing apparently from the 5 games we've played this season. He could easily have an extra 4+ goals for us right now but he stuffs up that one glorious chance he seems to get every game.
The ease in which he finds himself in goal scoring opportunities is really comforting, it'll click for him soon and he'll bag himself a hattrick. Doesn't give Shaw any help defensively but Shaws that good it doesn't bother me too much.
On a scale of 1 to ten for quick players. How quick do we think Memphis is?
I still think he will turn out to be the bargain purchase of the summer
He's definitely going to frustrate and excite in equal measure. One would hope that as he matures his frustrating moments will get less frequent.
I get a Nani feeling many a time. He has skills. But he shoots to the skies and sometimes takes unnecessary shots.
Hope he will have more of excellent moments.

7.5/8
His top speed isn't THAT quick, but his acceleration is the real weapon he has. His top speed is quick enough that nobody will catch him easily, but his movement and acetylation is what buys himself so much space, it makes him almost seem quicker than he is.
Michael Owen is such a gormless balloon.
The move and pass through to Rooney is something we never see from any of our players. Beautiful pass and vision. He can only improve from here.
His "frustrating" moments aren't even frustrating me. He brings so much freshness, creativity and speed into our attack that I completely enjoy watching him. He has to work on his finishing but apart from that I really love watching him play.
The "frustrating" thing about Depay is how vocal the fanbase is about wanting creativity and purpose in our play and how quickly players who try it are slaughtered when they don't come off.
Your auto-correct is a smart-arse isn't it?
Yup. At least by some of them. Quite annoying.
They don't frustrate me either, it's more like "if only that worked" rather than "ffs what are you doing ?"
Haha! I have no idea what that even means and definitely haven't said that before
