Jesse Lingard - The Emperors new clothes

[Sheebo]

If you watch Lingards off the ball movement that created space for others in his last England performance you may have a different perspective

That is all too often a part of football that get's overlooked to the point it's barley seen by many fans..

Yep - Baldock the prime example in our team. Bruno also puts in so many sprints just to create space for Knocky...

Anyway, I thought Lingard was good for us OP...

Harry Kane was distinctly average for years at about 4 lower league loan spells and then suddenly clicked.

I am in agreement. i think that he did well for us.

i think the problem was that he scored 4 on his debut for Birmigham the year before and therefore some saw him as an absolute goal machine. That is only part of his game, and, he was 21(?). these kids are sent out on loan to develop them as a player, if they were the finishes article then they would already be in the top squads and never come out on loan

Any player that scores the winner against Crystal Palace in the FA Cup Final should be immune to criticism for life.

Absolutely this.

3-0 down to Chelsea, that has to REALLY hurt

Just seen a few random Chelsea fans interviewed on SSN about Mourinho reaction at the end of the game. Each fan, interviewed in separate places, had thick Irish accents. Are most Chelsea fans Irish now?

Would he get in our best team now? Probably not. Says a lot about Man United right now.

I disagree, I think he has come a long way since his loan spell with us..I would have him in our team like a shot. Have you seen some of his goals. Him or Skalak? Him or Murphy? Him or Baldock? Him or Knocky? Only Knocky wins for me. Legend for that goal against Palace!!!

I wouldn't have him over March or Knockaert, no.

Personally I thought he was bang average when he was here.
