Even at PSV he would be pissed after a failed attempt, that's never stopped him from trying though. He's played matches where he bottled everything but still scored twice in the dying minutes. He's a perfectionist on the field and if he misses a chance even though he scored he's dissapointed about the missed chance and start training on it. I don't see a problem with that part of his mentality myself, although some gestures/shouting to the ref do annoy me.

that finishing:-D almost looking like they clear the ball rather than finish it.. I have a feeling Big fella will score next weekend
The last two...
Look at Rooney now that he's cut down on the complaining...
Like those four crosses?
The left foot cross is very encouraging. He needs that if he is to thrive on the left wing.
What a waste of those lovely crosses.
Some of those crosses would give Fellaini a semi
Lol at those last 2 misses. What a joke.
That is the issue though. I wonder if he allows decision to impact his performance or not. He seems to be disappointed and then work a lot less harder after arguing with the whistle-person.
Jesus those misses
That could have quite easily been 4 assists right there. Some absolute peaches from Memphis.
He never stops working hard, he's had alot of 'frustrating performances' but still managed to score or assist in the same game at PSV. He's not one to let his head hang soon, he always keeps trying and that's why I don't see a big problem with it. Even after the Brugge game he was dissapointed in himself for that missed sitter, he's not happier today if he didn't score twice and gave an assist (on top of the Netherlands probably not going to France 2016). The argueing with the ref just annoys me, but that goes for every player who does that.
Hmm. If its just arguing and still going on with performing then its fine as long as it doesn't impair his performance. But sometimes he cuts a frustrated figure when something doesn't work for him and I worry about his mentality. That Bastian's arm around him after Villa game (I think) made me worried whether he really had a strong mentality though. From what I have heard he is a vastly talented confident lad with strong mentality but his performance so far has been a bit inconsistent though that's probably due to new league, new culture and stuffs.
The last one makes no sense. Was he trying to clear the cross?
My fear also. He's not a better option than Young in the premier league at the moment although he will be but we don't need to force it.
My god those are some lovely looking crosses he put it. Hopefully, he can continue doing that with United - not even Rooney in his current form would miss those.
I watched the game and taught, what were his teammate doing? Nevertheless, Depay played well and I am glad at United, Van Gaal moved him back to the wings where he is more productiveThose crosses are great, lots of curve and lots of pace. Can't even think about the amount of times our players have just floated shite lofted balls into the box hoping someone can make something of them, he actually seems to cross it with a purpose. It doesn't take much to put one of those into the back of the net
Memphis crossing to Fellaini will be tough to defend.
Definitely. His cross for the goal against Brugge was superb. Hopefully they play together a lot more now that Fellaini is back from suspension.
Id be checking that strikers betfair account after those misses.
No, it is Luuk De Jong. No further explanation needed.
I watched a-bit of the match but turned it off after about 30 minutes as it was pretty crap. Lovely crosses from Memphis in that video and some hilarious 'finishing'.
Willem Van Hanegem "blasts" Memphis
I'm not sure I really get what he's trying to say. Is that a criticism of his work-rate?

He just sounds like an old school native Dutchman actually. Moaning at the immigrant boys.
I like how he says that he doesn't care what players are doing outside of the football field but than goes on to bash his clothing style.
But Memphis did look like a bit of a dick in that hat and scarf.
Wasn't he supposed to have been one of their better players in that game?
He did say Memphis should stop putting on muscle and I agree
Van Hanegem has some weird criticism, I don't rate him that highly as a pundit. He's becoming a bit bitter and rarely says interesting stuff imo.
He was just blasting everything after the 0-3 loss and named Memphis too as being too individual. He also said Memphis layed on the ground too much.
I haven't seen the whole match but Memphis wasn't great, he lost the ball 26 times but also was one of the best going forward. Tells you all about the performance of our NT.

The issue is under Sir Alex, these sorts of players will be brought in, rotated and expected to grow into their roles. There would be an existing structure, and them some sort of transition as they develop.
Due to us having average attacking players, he's been brought in and expected to be our best player, and lead us. Hopefully by next season, him and Amrtial are ready to play a more leading role, and we could do with adding a proper go-to guy.

He wasn't great and I agree with the criticism that he complains too much, but in that game he looked like the only one likely to create anything. Also, Sneijder looked much more greedy than Memphis did - Memphis put four very good chances on a plate for his teammates.
The game was really poor by Netherlands though, RvP looks shot, Sneijder is meh and there's not much else to the team. Even getting Robben back in great form would only hide the big problems of the team.
There's plenty of clubs that bring through youth by relying on them and putting pressure on them to perform.
Just because we did it one way under SAF doesn't mean we can't do it another now.
Theres more than one way to skin a cat.
It depends on the expectations of the club. Everton can't aford to have Barkley only playing 20 mins. Young players are, by nature, frustrating and under-cooked. Those are not the traits a top team wishes to base it's quest for trophies on. It doesn't even mean they have to be subs, it does mean that their role is of supporting cast though. Neymar at Barcelona is an example. He came at 20, and was not integrated slowly, but did not need to be the man straight away though. Memphis could also have gone to Barca and gone straight into the team. Our other forwards aren't particularly threatening though, so any new addition in that area will be turned to in hope that they can provide something.
Brilliant crosses. Has bend on them and alot of power, nightmare for defenders and keepers. Who were the strikers for that match, that was abysmal finishing.
It's really something when u put in 4 great chances in a single match, 3 of which with ur man free in the box and they put the ball AWAY from the goal.
