Lack of quality players?
Think you answered your own question. The weird overrating of his talents always wound me up
Imagine having him as captain giving out to you for making a mistake, you’d laugh
To be fair I wouldn't but then I am shite.
He does this at United. I remember in Fred's first season where he made mistakes and Lindelof berated him for it. Thought it was odd given how poorly Lindelof started his own United career with terrible mistakes
Which is why I find him an odd choice of captain for Sweden but each to their own
That would explain not rating him, not the irrational dislike, so no, not really.
And the weird overrating goes hand-in-hand with an equally weird underrating.
Lindelöf has been continuously critisised for his "softness" and he has probably fallen down the pecking order as Varane soon will be availiable for play. On the other hand, Lindelöf is undoubtely good on/with the ball (case in point see spectacular assist to Rashford). Is Lindelöf the answer to our CDM problem?
Logical choice would've been Ekdal (who was made vice captain instead), but other than him it's a toss up as all the natural options just quit the national team due to age (Larsson, Berg, Granqvist). There's a general lack of leaders in the squad presently.
This question has been touted lots. No being the answer. Can’t head, backs away from tackles. Would he back them right onto the defence?
Our player has been made captain if his country and some can't resist the urge to have a go at him.
He is also not half as bad as some make him out to be. He's not a top defender but he's decent most of the time. Very happy for him.

Such a stupid comment - why would you leave a comment like that without using your flat brain? Lindelof proved to be absolute liability, and yes people accepted him to drop to back up CB but a player who cost us 20 games per season shouldnt be playing for us even here and there. it's the lack of options we have which make him 3rd option now. And that is obviously acceptable in the current state of things but it would be smart to sell him because for some teams he's the type of that player who still has a value while for us he's a player who always have mistakes in him. Sheasy or Wes Brown were much more dependable than him and we should definitely cash in on him and reinvest that money into a mid priced experienced back up CB, and that aquisition is coming it just can't happen in one window, so by no means I meant to get rid of him now and I never stated that in my comment but as soon as we find our upgrade, while now we focus on something else. Easy as that, you stupid comment, get a grip.
Mate he costs us regularly 20 games per season him alone, it's like people have really short memories here. He's bullied every second game and that is unaccaptable. It's okay to have him "at least" as a third choice now, good grief but let's hope Varane and Maguire stay fit all season, otherwise we are here to keep fingers crossed every game for him not to leak goals after goals with his non defending.
I didn't know we lose 20 games every season?
Oh, ffs! If this is your true opinion then we are too far apart to even discuss this.
Man on a mission? Eternally wound up? Took your nick as a ‘hommage’ to the Swedish captain? Oedipus complex? What is wrong with golden_blunder? The questions keep cropping up!
The opposite of a short memory is not a long memory, it’s a creative memory.
Where are you getting this 20 games stuff from, that has to be pure nonsense? Bullied every second game, he undoubtedly loses some physical duels but every other game, really? Leaking goal after goal despite a reasonably decent defensive record?
Not everything is so black and white as you are making out. This is pure hyperbole, not statements that stand up to any kind of scrutiny. It weakens your point rather than strengthens it.
Some posters see Lindelof's fault everywhere.
Opposition come from right - Lindelof should have been there
Opposition come from left - Lindelof should have been there too
he’s not a first team defender
I love Lindelof but those are some damning clips. I wonder how many of those errors led to games we actually lost?
Not sure, I don’t even remember half the games anymore but a lack of basic defending sticks in my gut. He’s just not a good defender. Unless of course you like defenders just to run alongside attackers without trying to tackle them or being afraid of heading a ball
Does he feck. Stop with the hyperbole.
Do you expect anyone to debate you when you can't even keep to reality?
The length some go to to discredit him is honestly laughable.
Lindelof played through injury and as we saw with Rashford, that has an impact on performance. Now that he has recovered, if he gets rotated with Maguire/Varane, I am sure he will be much better player. Happy to have him in the squad.
So he is starting against Leeds, isn't he. We can only hope that the signing of Varane pushes him a bit
It literally what I hate about him. He is weak! The reason I like him is just ball progression which every modern defender should be capable off. It’s a culture we should encourage at United.
He’s shite. Hopefully tomorrow is the last time I have to watch him
I never rated him..... having said that, I think he is a decent back up option so I'm now quite happy.
My only concern with him now is if he can keep a consistent level of performance when he is in and out of the team...... If he reverts back to the Lindelof of his first few months then he is completely pointless.

Expecting nothing less than a masterclass in defending tomorrow 
This thread is full of bizarrely childish hyperbole.
I think most would agree that Lindelof was the weak link in our defence last season, having a decent long pass in his locker didn't make up for the mistakes and poor defending. However, he's a much better 3rd choice CB than anyone else we have, and the idea of letting him go anytime soon is nuts, given who that would leave us with as cover.

Not good that he now is the National team captain. For me he is a great sub for Varane and I think he would have accepted that role for quite some time. But now with the captain thing I belive he is going to go for a move (next season)if he's not playing enough.
A captain that doesn't start for his club... What a strange choice. Honestly if the Swedish coach doesn't know we bought Varane, or if he thinks Lindelof will play ahead of Varane or Maguire he's either lazy or delusional.
One of the worst videos I've seen, and I mean productionwise. Not many real mistakes either.
Just for fun I also watched some of Harry's and Rafael's mistakes. Oh boy, I really hope they'll leave those behind them this season.
Not so sure Rafael will fit nicely in the PL. Hope I'm wrong.
It is a bit of a crap video but we can see several of his liabilities - can’t time headers of dropping balls, would rather jockey players passively than tackle and finally he’s easily bullied. Not good for a CB
