For those saying he’s good enough. Wake up!
This lad is one of the main issues with our team along with the idiot next to him.

Got exposed today.
Embarrassing defending for Aguero's goal.
Our new best defender of course. Well, didn't take long.
dont forget the one in front of him... its all just not very good.
Looked bad for every goal. The second was the worst, but the way he placed his arms for the first goal thinking the ball would go out of play 
He was better the last few games, but was completely out of his depth today

Looked like a child out there
But he wasn't the only one.

Even Stevie Wonder could see that Aguero was going to go for a one two.
He is simply not good enough.

He tried to win a defensive header and got cleaned out by D Silva. Sad.
Let's be honest he's not good enough
Will take him two seasons or even three to get close a high level.
The biggest contribution he’s made is the eye candy his wife provides.
Abysmal signing who can’t even pass the ball well for a so-called “ball-playing defender”

Looked out of his depth today. Terrible spell after their 2nd goal, which he should have done more to prevent.
Thought the third was all Matic but for the other two he looked poor.
When you allow the opposition to play and actively invite pressure, your CBs are going to make mistakes, they're going to get exposed. When the player supposedly tasked with shielding the back four is as mobile as a tree trunk, it's going to happy. Played well against some great forwards recently, but the usual culprits are back as soon as he has one subpar game. Pathetic.
Whilst what you are saying is true it doesn’t help that he has such a deficiency in the basics of defending too - notably heading and positioning. These are bad no matter who is the holding player. I just cannot see it with him

It should have. That goal is entirely on Luke Shaw.
I fully agree, it is painful to say but their attack was simply too good today. His efforts were not worse than someone else's, rather the opposite.
In this thread, all goals are always Lindelofs.
Not his best match but he’s been good lately so no reason to hang him. Today United lost as a team, not because of a few individuals.
It just shows that he had no clue for danger defensively. It wasnt because it was Shaws, he just had no awareness whatsoever. When the cross came in, he spread his arms wide open as to show everyone this one is going out, without realising the ball was dangerous and in play, Shaw or no Shaw. His lack of knowledge behind him is no surprise whoever watched him during his career Here
Got caught ball watching on the Aguero goal. Probably not a great match to judge him in though. The entire team was under pressure today.
Yeah, credit where it is due. He's been playing with intensity the last month. Won't judge him on today.
Yes he made mistakes but all were very poor today especially if your midfield is so pathetic then he is going to make mistakes when against this attack and under pressure.
Jose said the back 4 weren’t to blame. Hopefully he’s realising that a number 6 who can defensively read the game is vital for us.
He’s not good enough, let’s be honest. Not consistent enough. Won’t win the league with him at centre back.
Won’t win the league win any centre back.
We’d be closer to it. We’d have more points than we have now.
Mourinho wanted Toby, but has to make do with the Ikea Alderweireld instead.
I think he was one of few players who actually wasn't terrible. The defensive problems is in our midfield and with a team like City given free roam to play any ball they want without getting pressured, and gifted the ball from our midfield time after time CB is a hard job. Its hard shining as CB when the whole team is playing this poorly. I still have high hopes for Victor.
Toby will be so glad to be getting excellent protection from Nemanja and he'd be over the moon with our backs to wall defensive style.
And he’s still flatpacked
It was funny to see him play against professional footballers today.
Forums eh.....I wondered how long it would take for the vultures to circle. Yep got done in the week by arguably the best player to lace up a pair of football boots and probably the best striker in the PL. No shame there especially when there is zero cover in front of him provided by midfield.
United were simply outclassed today. Even if Smalling and Lindelöf had been phenomenal (they were neither good nor bad), United would have still conceded three goals. There was such bad play in general from Lukaku, the midfielders etc. United looked like a midtable team, just too low quality and impotent to threaten City.
Yep, it's amazing how good your defenders look when you have 70% of the ball and the team you are playing against is on the back foot.
You're right. I keep trying to convince myself he'll improve to the required level but hand on heart he looks nothing like a United player to me.
Way too timid and flat footed to be in our squad let alone a starter.
If you are objective, no one in the team made a good match. Neither Lindelof and possibly with the exception of Fellaini. And the reason was that City was so much better today.
If compared to the rest of the team, Lindelof was still one of the better in my opinion. If we can not win PL with him, then the whole team needs to be replaced.
He has had a good development lately, getting better and better and it would be stupid not to let him keep doing it in view of his age.

No I'm not his biggest fan and from day 1 I've questioned this guy's ability not only to play for Manchester Utd but to play in the PL. It's not the lad's fault but he's way out of his depth. You caf members who rate him or believe he has potential, please tell me what he's good at or what you see in him cos I just cannot get my head round it?
Ah, there's the piece of shit defender we all know and hate. Purple patch didn't last long, did it? The tracking for Aguero's goal was that of an amateur 5 aside players. Useless.
He probably would be better as a defensive midfield player than Matic. He is quicker, can pass decently and can tackle too.
