There were other things on which he could have been criticized, this one I think he shouldn't be, and that's the end for me.
If he was indeed marking Clark as I think, he didn't lose him, he realized the ball is coming low and put himself in front of Clark. That is contradicting with what you are saying cause Clark wasn't going to get to the ball in any way. He never got close to Diame, that's why I think it was absurd to say he lost him, he never even started marking him.
Ohhhh. So I'm not allowed to point out that he was losing his man for the first goal?
What? Stop talking nonsense pal. He was clearly never got close to Clark! Mensah was watching Diame but he was losing him. Look!
The one who man mark Clark was Kelly. How is Mensah marking Clark if he was behind him? Mensah clearly unaware where both Clark & Diame were. Look he's marking no one! The ball went to Milivojevic's place.
Unbeliavable. You are posting a picture in which TFM looks in the direction of Diame and Clark, and Kelly has his hand on Diame, and you decide Kelly was marking Clark(who is behind Diame) and TFM is marking Diame because he looked at Diame and Clark. OK than you were right.
Now stop wasting my time, we are going in circles, it's tiresome and let's put an end to it.
Sounds like a young player then?
I think TFM is better going forward than seems to be the consensus. He doesn't panic and hoof the ball up very often and often looks to play forward either to the wide attacker ahead of him or more centrally to a midfield player. I also think he makes some incisive overlapping runs when in possession to get into dangerous areas.
Hopefully next season he can deputize for Valencia and show he's of the required quality to take over the position from him rather than us having to look to spunk a load of cash on an RB.
Agree. If Jose is not going to change anything in attack, he is going to need width from somewhere though, and he might need full backs that bomb forward and deliver crosses for Lukaku.
What's his crossing been like, anyone know?
He had a good cross yesterday that Zaha absolutely should have scored on. I've also seen him put in some decent crosses at United, specifically in LvG's 2nd season. He's not anything special in that sense but he seems more able to whip it in to danger areas than Valencia has shown the last few years.
He actually seems quite effective when he does decide to go forward. The problem is that he didn't really seem to be comfortably knowing when to go forward and when to stay back, so he tended to just play it safe and normally stayed back or played the ball back. I'm not sure if that's because he's played most of his youth football in central areas, if it's because of LVG's training for the previous couple of years, or if it's just his natural mentality.I think TFM is better going forward than seems to be the consensus.

That was the case with us anyway. Other than a couple of matches early in the season I haven't been watching him for Palace, so hopefully he's improved his offensive play while with them. I know there was one match where they were raving over him and I believe he got MOM, but I'm not sure if that was a one-off or not.
Happy he's getting games at CB which I reckon is his position.
I still think defensive midfielder.

I agree but He hasn’t played there at senior football. Don’t see that changing.
And some would argue it's RB which is the issue IMO. Dutch John O'Shea. He's a good footballer, hopefully he makes it at United.
He's not good enough on the ball to be a midfielder.I still think defensive midfielder.

He's better on the ball than Tim at the moment.Is Scott Mctominay?
Leroy Sane believes Manchester United defender Timothy Fosu-Mensah is one of the toughest opponents he has ever faced.
And Crystal Palace's right-back Timothy Fosu-Mensah, I have played against him twice this season, and even last season, he had me really well under control and I told him how happy I was to play against him.
Looks like he’s been usurped by Wan-Bissaka
And TFM is a loanee meaning moving forward, they wouldn't be able to rely on him next season.Well Bissaka was Palaces best player against us, wouldn’t expect them to drop him after his performance in that game.

Unlucky to be screwed over a bit by the can't play against parent club rule. Forced Wan Bissaka to be played who has come out of nowhere and looked great. Still been a good loan for me and I want him getting minutes here next season.
