[Albion] LINGARD - Anyone else notice that we've become even worse since he's has arrived?

[WSU Dilettante]

Has anyone else noticed the amount if defensive work he does. Forever tracking back when needed. I've noticed him make a few vital blocks/tackles deep in our own half. Yes he's only scored 1 goal and he is easily "knocked off the ball" but watch his off the ball runs. Always looking for space, usually always positive actions on the pitch. I like him.
It's a tough call between him and Lua Lua. They have different styles. I like Lua Lua too, but when was the last time he scored?
I think picking the starting line up is a tough call. Who ever is picked, someone's going to moan about it.

Probably MoM today. Classy player.

 

[seagullmouse]

Good goal, not MoM

And assist. Who was your Mom?

 

[Stumpy Tim]

He was quality. Easily man of the match

He should have scored a hat-trick but didn't. Greer rightly got MOM.

Lualua was MoFH, Greer and even Andrews had a very good games. Lingard good player, good goal though

Really? I missed mom. Everyone played well, but our Defence were hardly stretched! Amazed at that decision

Utter Garbage. He is three times the player if the game is who can be pushed around like a feather.

You were saying?

This may have been mentioned before, but why are we playing him every game?

He's no Barnes, and misses equally well if he ever gets close enough, no Orlandi, his control is mixed and doesn't create much, no Crofts, he gets bundled off the ball too easily - actually, I'm struggling to think what he adds?

Also, am I imagining it or has our form dropped since we started playing him from the start, the only other period where we have done as badly, I think was when Ulloa was injured....last year...

I was saying he was starting over Lua Lua who is a better player at making us an attacking threat. Oh what's happened since that has been sorted? And Still maintain Lingard ain't no premiership player.
