It's a sad state of affairs when fans of United, who have such a rich history of bringing through young players, are so quick to lay into a young player when he makes a mistake. And if he Blackett did make a mistake today, it wasn't the goal. He was unlucky for that.

But I see promise in Blackett and I hope LvG continues to show patience with him.
 
There's a couple of us that watched the youth teams and told you despite him playing alright to start, he's not good enough. There are others that watch the youth team and are too lenient. It has always been obvious that he's not good enough to play first team football.
 
Really unlucky but I think he was definitely the weak link when he came on. Probably the wrong situation to blood a youngster.

Im guessing Rojo couldn't continue, planned for 70 minutes or made too many mistakes.
 
Can only assume Rojo was injured. I guess the other option would have been to put Young at LB and bring on Di Maria/Januzaj, but everyone would have jumped on that as well since Young was our best player going forward. It's just terrible luck we seem to be getting decimated with injuries at LB.
 
I can't believe he's getting the blame for that. He was up against Walcott, in the penalty area. Another day, and that defection would've only led to a corner and some applause from the crowd.
 
Got a bit unlucky with the goal, but was generally doing good things at left back. Rojo was fading, so needed replacing.

Goal wasn't his fault. People need to calm down. Was good for him to get some game time.

The ball travelled across the pitch, and when it landed with Walcott, Blackett was far too far away from him... it was piss poor. Gave him all the time and space in the world.
 
to be fair the og itself was a bit unlucky.

but right now I don't seen anything in this player that would suggest he'd be an asset for us in the future. best off moving to a lower level club.

Tell me about it, its fecking disgusting the treatment some of our young british players get.

It's not just today. People knew he would cause a goal today the minute he stepped on the pitch because of his performances up until now. He came on against Chelsea and just looked completely out of his depth and his last appearance before that was against Southampton when we again lost, conceding just 5 minutes after he came on. The only thing he's ever shown is good composure on the ball. His reading of the game has always been terrible and his tackling, aerial strength and marking are all well below par at this level. We should've put Young at left back because Blackett is barely good enough for the championship at this stage.
 
He played him onside and then didn't get tight enough until it was too late. However he was cold and it's why you don't change the back 4 unless you absolutely have to during a match.

It wasn't, but he was woefully out of position for Walcott to receive the pass in the first place.

Oh yeah I'm saying he was great(He wasn't)but I only caught the Arsenal goal on here and some of the comments seemed to suggest it was something other than bad luck.

The error was where he plays him onside. But he's barely a Premier League level player, let alone at a top four club.
 
He's a liability. He wasn't actually that bad today but he's managed to score an own goal. Just his luck but he's just woefully inept. His level is about the Championship.
 
Championship level player at best. Bringing him on is like throwing the game.

It's not like he shines at youth levels.

This would if been the logical choice, but we know LVG's subs are never that.
 
He isn't ready yet for this level, and i don't expect him to feature at all next season. A loan would do him a world of good.
 
He's not good enough and won't make it at United.

Should move to a Championship club.

I don't rate him either, and never understood why he got the chance ahead someone like Thorpe in the first place, but we aren't really helping him by throwing him out of the position in big matches all of a sudden. Young was definitely better option for LB today.
 
Some one tell how this utter pub player who looks like he's won a competition to play for United, keeps on getting games? Especially games this big?

I swear I've never ever seen him have even a half decent game, yet he keeps playing.
 
Looks extremely uncomfortable on the ball.

Well, he doesn't pick himself.

I lost any faith in him after that Leicester game. Hes just shockingly out of his depths, say what you like about the likes of Fletcher, Brown or Oshea but they never looked this bad.

The only thing he has over other defenders is hes left footed so should be better playing as a LB... but he hardly does
 
I can't for the love of me understand what LVG sees in him, ridiculous. The goal was not really his fault per say, but he could have done better, I felt we'd concede once he came on.
 
He shared in the responsibility for the goal but let's review the options LVG had:

- Bring in McNair and play Jones at LB
- Drop Young to LB
- Play 352 with Smalling, Jones, and Valencia

and his choice is to put Blackett on. Completely asinine decision.

Err, drop Young to left back and bring Di Maria on? We would have least had a chance of taking advantage of all that space Arsenal were leaving with him on the pitch.
 
He's not good enough for the PL let alone us. He hasn't got a scooby about positioning himself. He looks bang average at youth level.

LvG subs have been frankly crap.
 
I don't know why LvG didn't just bring Di Maria on and move Young to LB or even bring McNair on and move Jones across, Blackett just looks out of his depth at the moment.
