No one going to acknowledge we've lost all movement up top since he's gone off? That Martial has been completely isolated?

 

[Classical Mechanic]

It was more to do with who came on than who went off I think. Young did OK on the left but Fellani in midfield and then switch to up top destroyed the attacking 'rhythm' IMO.

Depay was terrible tonight.

 

[Slevs]

Fed up with him and his attitude towards matches.

 

[Godfather]

Was one of our better performers tbh. Was there for the ball to be played at in the first half. The moment he and Schweini went off we fell to pieces.

 

[marjen]

His lack of acceleration is really strange.

 

[Sammyjunn]

The agenda is clear.

 

[pseudo_canadian]

Garbage tonight.

Tried his hardest to waste any chance he had.

 

[Erictheking7]

Really poor tonight but no worse than Lingard or Martial

 

[drmuji]

I am lost for words how slow he was whenever he got the ball. Really broke the momentum of the movement as soon as it reached him. And PSV right back had the exact measure of him. I thought he should have been subbed at half time

 

[ivaldo]

The agenda is clear.

Yup, typically it's been completely ignored despite being blindingly obvious, if it were Martial that got subbed and this happened this place would be going crazy.

 

[Devil81]

If he keeps this level of performance up he could be looking at the quick departure route from United. Just doesn't look a United player at the moment.

 

[Adisa]

The sad part was whenever he was one on one with a player, I had ZERO confidence he would beat his man.

 

[Litch]

You won't see the best out of him under this manager, the defenders will improve but any creative player will struggle because you can't be a free spirit under LvG. We would never have had the pleasure of watching Giggs and CR under this regime.

 

[Baxter]

Absolutely no worse than any of the other forwards.

BS. he can't beat a man one on one in acres of space ffs.

 

[khoazany]

It looks quite clear to me that he needs to be as close to the goal as possible to be effective.If we keep playing him this way for 10 years things won't change imo.

Absolutely no worse than any of the other forwards.

Nah couple of good moments but he's the worst out of them except for Rooney.

 

[Adisa]

Absolutely no worse than any of the other forwards.

They too are getting a deserved kicking.

 

[Litch]

Really, that's funny cause I watch him play against Spain and he was the best player on the pitch.

 

[facund]

Needs to work on beating a man or making himself space as his repeated failure in these areas are overshadowing any of the good work he does. Made a few nice passes and showed decent movement but not many people will remember that whilst he is so easy to dispossess.

We should probably focus on getting him on the end of through balls if we want to make use of his current strengths as he doesn't seem to have the game to be receiving the ball on the touchline. I'm still not sure what to make of him really.

 

[Bwuk]

He's an wing forward and not a winger. If we've bought him to play as a wide winger then it's bizarre because as watching him you can tell that's not his skill set.

We looked less likely to score when he went off imo.

 

[Crumpsall Red]

Really, that's funny cause I watch him play against Spain and he was the best player on the pitch.

when the feck was that ... I haven't seen him beat a man all season ..

 

[bosnian_red]

Just needs time, he'll be inconsistent all season I'm sure, and our style under Van Gaal won't help a single one of our attacking players so we just have to be patient.

 

[Sammyjunn]

when the feck was that ... I haven't seen him beat a man all season ..

Had your eyes open, beat players with ease at the start. Went to shit later though.

 

[Acole9]

It's a shame he couldn't push on from a good performance at the weekend but I guess that's what we have to expect from players like him, consistency will be lacking.

 

[Crumpsall Red]

Had your eyes open, beat players with ease at the start. Went to shit later though.

Had my eyes open? what king of feckin English is that? Brilliant, he beat someone for 5 minutes then turned to shit .... that's £25 million quids worth right there .....

 

[Devil may care]

He doesn't look like he has the acceleration or skill off the mark to play the position at the level he's now being asked to play it at, when he was central at the weekend and just had to concentrate of making runs and being strong he was more effective, when asked to make it happened with the ball at his feet he looks lost.

 

[Sammyjunn]

Dont know which king mate.. might be a queen. Hope you ever discover the word patience. You dont pay 25million for potential only to have made a judgement within 4 months.

What potential is that?

 

[Sammyjunn]

What potential is that?

Never mind.

 

[acnumber9]

Whatever he may or may not become in the future right now he's nowhere near good enough. Young is comfortably better and has barely played on the wing all season.

 

[acnumber9]

When?

 

[Crumpsall Red]

Never mind.

Exactly .... night night from a very cold Manchester

 

[Sammyjunn]

When?

Brugge, Newcastle, Ottenham, Villa, not that the end pass or shot was good but he had quite good moments against their full backs. There's a compilation of him by HeilRJ of his season so far.

 

[iKeano]

Has muscles, isn't strong. Loses the ball way too much. Can't take a decent corner.

The boy was terrible tonight and his unfounded ego coupled with his complete absence of tracking back makes it hard for the fans to warm to him.

 

[acnumber9]

We could debate his overall contribution which has been minimal but beating players with ease is not something he's capable of. Not even close.

 

[CG1010]

He isn't taking anybody's breath away but the amount of criticism he is receiving is also unfair. He had good moments in the first half but progressively became worse. Its clearly a confidence issue for him as he is not able to do it against his previous team, where he excelled.

 

[Classical Mechanic]

He cut inside a couple of times and got a shot off in fairness. Most of the time though he looked like he was playing netball rules when he got the ball.

Netball rules! Spot on that.

 

[ZDwyr]

Does appear to lack pace. That would probably explain why LVG started his as the #10 in pre-season. He wasn't awful, but can still do a lot better.

 

[MyOnlySolskjaer]

Probably our best goal threat in the game...
