Lost some confidence, but man he's been awful today.

If anything, he looks too confident!

 

[Brwned]

Makes sense why van Gaal tried to play him centrally to begin with. Doesn't appear to have the skill to beat a man. Sadly doesn't have the intelligence to play as a #10 either.

He does have a good understanding with Rooney though. At least there's that.

 

[Amar__]

Right, I don't feel sorry for him at all, 4 on 2 and he is shooting from 25 meters. What an idiot.

 

[NinjaFletch]

He's really, really unlikeable.

 

[Shark]

His performance level is lower than Rooney' right now.

 

[2mufc0]

Actually successfully took on the full back wish he would do that more often.

 

[Skills]

He's only really got one move hasn't he? A drop of the shoulder on to his right foot.

 

[Ole's_toe_poke]

He does have a good understanding with Rooney though. At least there's that.

Scary to think that if we hadn't bought Martial both Memphis and Rooney would be our first choice attackers.

 

[DanNistelrooy]

Really don't like his attitude, that cross field pass that went to the defender. He looks like he's given up

 

[Speak]

He's only really got one move hasn't he? A drop of the shoulder on to his right foot.

A right-footed Hulk.
It's disrespectful to compare Memphis to Ronaldo or even Nani.

 

[Suedesi]

He's awful

 

[fergieisold]

He's only really got one move hasn't he? A drop of the shoulder on to his right foot.

He'll be a quality player, but he isn't the Ronaldo he believes himself to be! If he drops the tricks and flashy play and becomes a team member he'll be very good.

 

[Adisa]

He is bad.

 

[Yorkeontop]

Its barely November!

 

[ivaldo]

He's been watching tapes of Rooney.

 

[Amar__]

He does have a good understanding with Rooney though. At least there's that

What's worrying is that I don't know if you are serious or sarcastic.

 

[Adisa]

Very unintelligent footballer.

 

[NinjaFletch]

Regardless of how well he ends up doing here even Bebe would have been embarrassed with that performance

 

[bosnian_red]

I understand confidence plays a big part, but that was dreadful. Wouldn't have said this for his previous games but he just didn't seem interested

 

[Stadjer]

Very unintelligent footballer.

Yes. Great athelete but an average football player in terms of intelligence and technique compared to other players at topclubs.

 

[justboy68]

Yes. Great athelete but an average football player in terms of intelligence and technique compared to other players at topclubs.

Not to pile on him too much but he hasn't really looked like a super athlete by English football standards either to be honest. Plenty of faster players about and he's been shrugged off more than you'd think given his frame. I'm still hoping he'll turn things around but it could be a long first season for him.

 

[Steven Seagull]

He's obviously better than he's showing right now but I was expecting somebody who could go past players a bit easier. He's clearly struggling for confidence but I haven't seen anything to suggest he can regularly beat a man.

 

[arthurka]

Get him on the u21 bus.. No need to have him anywhere near the first team.

 

[Stack]

Considering how much hype there was in these forums when we first signed him and how poorly he has played since we got him for me he would be one of the more disappointing signings in recent years. Hope he can get himself steadied and show us what he is capable of.

 

[forevrared]

Should've saved a load of money and just kept Nani. They are the same player.

 

[RedStarUnited]

Nani could always beat a player. Memphis?

 

[Dion]

Did the exact same stuff as Martial did when he came on.

 

[mu77]

Its barely November!

true we have 7 more months of this. ffs he's sunday league at the moment.

 

[Randall Flagg]

Lay off him ffs

It was a bad game and a bad spell, but I've still seen enough early on to suggest he can make it at Utd

 

[Maagge]

I'm starting to think he hasn't got the right attitude to succeed here to be honest. He looks completely devoid of confidence and doesn't work his arse off whenever he loses the ball. Add to that that almost every single time he gets the ball he waits a couple of seconds for the opposition to get back in position before he does anything with it. Lingard today would get the ball and run at his man right away if it wanted to take him on. Otherwise he would play it to someone else. Memphis waits a bit then takes his man on, or passes it. I'm not sure whether it's some sort of complacency or something.

 

[Ixion]

Strikes me as the type that thinks he's made it as soon as he signed for United when actually that's when the hard work starts. Needs longer on the sidelines and a few games for the reserves, when another chance comes around he'll have to take it. Might need an entire season or two before we see what he can really do.q

 

[Ballache]

Should've saved a load of money and just kept Nani. They are the same player.

Nani is better at this point.

 

[justboy68]

Nani is better at this point.

He's always been better? The hope is that Memphis might develop into a player as good or better one day. They are also nothing alike in the way they play or what they can do. Valencia seems a much closer comparison.

 

[tom33]

I actually feel sorry for him. Not because he doesn't deserve the criticism, he absolutely does, he's been dire recently and he has shown selfishness and a poor attitude. But because he shouldn't be under so much pressure and scrutiny, because he should not be a first team regular. He's simply not ready.

It seemed evident that we needed another winger for this season, particularly with Young filling in at full-back, but we failed to bring anyone in. Now we have a badly out-of-form 21 (?) year old and barely any alternatives.

 

[C'est Moi Cantona]

What ever happened to giving young players a break when they're struggling, Memphis is just going through a bad spell, he is not a bad player, it could be weeks, or months before we start to see the type of player we all think/thought he is going to be.

If he's still crap this time next year then I'll be questioning his ability, but in the mean time the boy needs support.

 

[Amethyst]

Genuinely awful tonight, needs to buck his ideas up.

We have 2 good options in Young and Perreira, Martial can also fill in there. No idea why lvg brought on young to play him at left back.

 

[Ixion]

Nani when he first joined was better than Depay and he's still better now.

 

[khoazany]

Lingard is currently a better option on the wing than Memphis despite not in the first team picture of some posters.Pereira is better too if he's used properly as shown today.Martial is by far the best of the lot.

 

[Bwuk]

Same people griping on him are the same people who don't see the talent AdM had when he was here.

Memphis has all the talent, whether it's a mental thing, or confidence or whatever, it's just not happening for him yet.
