No. He's a good player but extremely lightweight. He's at least a year away from being able to play PL regularly imo.Is he good enough to be playing PL yet? Genuine question as I don’t get to see much reserve/youth stuff
We'll never know if this would have been the case.By weakening the team?
He's definitely good enough for a 20 minute cameo ffs.No. He's a good player but extremely lightweight. He's at least a year away from being able to play PL regularly imo.
This is only an issue because he got named in a squad due to injuries. Nobody with a good knowledge of the player really wants him in the first team yet.

Hiding behing youth is just as cowardly.We'll never know if this would have been the case.
The way i see it, he could have been no worse than Lukaku or Rashford. They were both horrific.
The point is, our manager is too afraid to try something new. Hed rather lose 1-0 than take a risk as we'd potentially lose 2-0. A coward of a man.
A front 3 of Rashford,Martial and Chong would ensure movement and give a new dimension to the attack.
What?Hiding behing youth is just as cowardly.
Throwing a youngster on who isn't physically ready just in case he pulls something out of the hat is incredibly cowardly.What?
The guy refused to make a single change in the 90 minutes. Even 3 safe bets in Herrera, Pereira and Fred (all who would have improved on Matic and provide energy in midfield), were unused.
The annoyance is at his refusal to take a risk when 1-0 down. His comments just add to it, given what we've seen happen in the history of the club.
It would be seen by most as giving up on the game.Throwing a youngster on who isn't physically ready just in case he pulls something out of the hat is incredibly cowardly.
Its bottling the last twenty minutes basically.
Its not just throwing on a youngster, for me.Throwing a youngster on who isn't physically ready just in case he pulls something out of the hat is incredibly cowardly.

Yeah thats where i am in all that.No one disagreeing with that we needed changes, but it's stupid to put it all in not putting Chong in which was the right decision. The stupid decision wasn't putting in Fred and Periera or not leaving Rashford as an impact sub instead of starting, so he deserves to be slaughtered, but not for not bringing Chong in, that was right.
He didn’t play v juve.So who here thinks he should start against Everton? If he's good enough to play against Juve surely he's good enough to play against Everton.
Who here would start him?
Remember LVG last CL game?
We needed goal and LVG bring on Nick Powell? I didn't remember any single comment here praising LVG to bring youngster and try to change game.
You people seriously need to make up your mind.
They would have complained of Chong came on too. They'll complain about whatever happens.Remember LVG last CL game?

If he’s not ready don’t put him on the bloody bench for selection

Bit too soon is my opinion and not when we’re chasing a game , if we’re 3-0 up Sunday with 20 mins to go then I guess that’s ok.I know. But a lot of people here seem to think he should have. I'm wondering if those people also think he should play against Everton.
Of course Chong is ready for his chance. People saying he is lightweight should remember players like Giggs. Giggs was just a skinny young boy with pace and ability to take people on when he was given a chance. Chong is fast, works hard, has good technical skills and seems to me as someone having a good football brain. I would also go so far to say that Gomes should be given his chance also plus there are players like Greenwood,Garner,Laird,Tuanzebe,Mensah that would in my opinon be much better squad options than Rojo,Jones,Darmian and others in the squad. Saying Chong is not strong enough when Mata despite his football ability is lacking in pace, strength and movement is interesting. Hearing Mourinho saying he could not bring anybody on against Juve because Fellaini was not on the bench is pathetic. If Chong was on the United bench then surely he´s good enough to play, what´s the point in having him there otherwise? What kind of message is that to the bench players. I´m sure a midfield of Herrera,Pereira and Pogba would have given us much more in that game and we would have been able to pass the ball around. A front 3 of Rashford,Martial and Chong would ensure movement and give a new dimension to the attack. Lukaku is just dreadful when it comes to being involved in the play and can not hold the ball to bring others to play around him. For Mourinho to keep on with him and then throw the donkey Fellaini on and resort to tactis like Wimbledon did back in the day just does not work and is not befitting of a club like Man Utd.

I would be over the moon if we manage a 3-0 win. Am expecting a draw tbh.
Start him today abd see what he can do. If he chokes then so be it. The club was built on the "if you're good enough you're old enough" mantra. Might even inspire some of the other players to see new blood giving their all on the pitch. He'd get the crowd up everytime he touches the ball.
He played 90s minutes for the reserves last night. He currently isn't good enough so I don't think that mantra fits in this instance.
I’m excited for his development. I’d like to see a few cameos in the first team but I guess we need to be 3 goals up for that to happen. Which is a rarity under Mourinho.
Mata?So apparently Ole is a massive fan of inverted wingers and we're obviously lacking a left footed right winger
Watch this space
Not really what I’d describe as a winger at all.Mata?
