He's good on the ball I'll give him that. As a defender? He leaves a lot to be desired.

Never wins a single aerial duel. I'd feed that guy creatine until he pukes.
He was lucky, two times he lost the aerial duel against Antonio. One was an easy goal but luckily for us the shot went straight to De Gea's hands. He needs to be more aggresive, it seems he's too light weight any half strong striker makes him look like Mata.
Breeds absolutely no confidence. Squad player only.
He is such a weird defender.
In the first half he went practically to his knees to try and clear a ball that was hanging in the air for ages. Antonio nearly jumped over him to have a header straight on goal but he got away with a foul for it. Wtf is he thinking in situations like that? I have no confidence in him at all.
@GifLord do your magic.
There was a header in the 2nd half too that he just completely mistimed and ended up jumping over the ball. Opposition fans must be laughing their heads off.

Wow really? His passing is average at best, he cant bring the ball out of defence as he consistently over runs it, he cant defend crosses or corners, he is constantly out muscled and outpaced, is erratic often tracking runners, is poor in the air, his reading of the game is average.
I genuinely cant think of more than 10 games he has played where he has been top quality since he has been here. Why is it almost every single pundit you see talking about Manchester United and what they need, dont name Lindelof but virtually all of them say a centre back partner for Maguire is needed.
There was absolutely zero chance the Antonio 'chance' would have stood, none at all. He was very clearly fouled. The extent some go to to criticize him.
Lindelof will never be aggressive
Lindelof is great to have as a squad player but should not be in the starting XI. I hope we can sell Bailly back to Villareal and get Torres from them.
You dont win the big titles with weak as piss CBs like him.
Some posters on here will tell you it's because Macguire's English.
We dont know that, and for sure we shouldnt let VAR decide that. Fould or not he looked weak as feck, dont get me wrong I like Lindelof but he needs to bulk the feck up. Cant be beated by every single striker when it comes muscle to muscle.
We do know that. You're calling him lucky because DDG made a comfortable save from his shot after he fouled blatantly fouled our CB in order it criticize him. Just let that sink in. Good job he isn't bear by every single striker. If only we had a season's worth of results and the stats to properly consider that...
Based on the refs/VAR at work this season!?
Even then. But it's a complete non point anyway because it was perhaps the most comfortable save he made all night. But yet here we are, frantically trying to criticize him for it. This place is crazy.
Lindelof can have a super game but there will always be posters say things like "but he made a bad pass in the 17th min"
How do you know? was if overturned? We've seen VAR call things unexpected. If you want to call it critizism go ahead, for what its worth I do think he's good enough to be starting here but lets not kid ourselves into thinking he's great at everything. Being weak and lacking aggresiveness are clearly things he has to work on.
That's the thing, he never has a super game
This is the normal exaggeration. According to the stats there wasn’t any United player who won more aerials than him.
Oh yes, he has. Juventus twice for example, Watford just on my mind now.
Was it a goal, was it even a difficult save? Do you not see how ridiculous it is that you're frantic to make this an issue?
Good job literally no one said he was great at everything. You wouldn't want your point to look lost, now...
Stats don't count when hyperbole is in play.
I'm sure Godfather has said it in many posts in this thread. Absolute absurd.
100% that any goal would have been disallowed by VAR. He clearly pushed Lindelof in the back.
Just a very average cb. Cannot impose himself against opposition strikers at all. Antonio must of been laughing at him.
His aerial game is weak, and a lot of these lower teams do have bruisers up front.
Still, the thing that annoys me more than anything is when he cowardly refuses to take responsibility to play forward passes, even when he has time and space to pick a pass. This is supposed to be one of his strength, but there were a couple of times when he passed it to either Maguire or DDG even though they were under pressure when there was a chance to play forward.

It's not the push it's the way he defends it. Look how low he's ducking before he attempts to head it? why is he doing that?
All it takes is for Antonio to jump a little and he heads that into the net. He's very lucky he pushed into him.
Too similar to Maguire without the ability to win a header. Should be 3rd choice. Its a real shame Tuanzebe has been injured for the season would have loved to see him push Lindelof for his place.
Wow man there's no point arguing with you. Under that logic a mistake is only worth to criticize if it end in a goal.
Probably the reason why he's playing a lot is because Bailly and Jones are absolute kamikaze disasters.
Just another defender to disappoint... what's new.

I hate stats but where are you getting that from, I am looking at stats right now and maguire won the same as him but attempted more
He played pretty well tonight. Antonio should be his kryptonite, on paper, and was in exceptional form, but he kept him fairly quiet.
Not sure what all of you are on about. Lindelof won that header and put it straight to his keeper. Excellent defending there.
The most stupid with yours and some other haters’ comments is that you really think he ducked. He didn’t duck, he bent down to head the ball. And he won the header but was pushed in the back and the header bounced up to the attacker’s head. Or maybe it didn’t even touch the attackers head.
You mean, there's no point in arguing with someone who doesn't claim Lindelof is great at everything despite you claiming that's the case, and who points out that 1.) It wasn't a goal 2.) It was DDGs most comfortable save of the game 3.) Antonio didn't even win the ball 4.) The only reason he managed to get an arm to it in the first is because he blatantly fouled Lindelof 5.) VAR would be giving that a foul 100/100 6.) It hit Antonio in the arm so couldn't possibly count?
But yeah, if those 6 simple things didn't happen he would have totally been to blame!
It's almost like the point you're making is absolute nonsense, hey?
Why is he bending over to head a ball in the air?! how can you excuse that
jump and head the fricking ball in the air!He was trying to head it over the goal. Looks like it glanced off Antonio and he was very lucky it went straight at the keeper.
Needs to be drug tested, he was being stupid all game long.
Whatever man, justify Lindelof anyway you want that wont change the fact that he needs to improve on his strenght and agressiveness. Today it didnt cost us, tomorrow it will.
