Silly old bat
I liked him and thought he worked hard off the ball, too.

Jury still out. Nothing of merit today but early days and young so must give benefit of doubt.

So you give him no credit for terrifying Gunter who headed into his own net?

I thought he was utterly ineffective on the wing. The Argus ran a headline saying Leo was excited and playing alongside new "strike partner" Jess yet we just stick him on the wing where Lua Lua, Buckley and March are better in my opinion. Jesse is surely best used as an attacking midfielder/second striker. Waste of a chance to change the way we attack and to get more out of Leo's hard work up front.

At the end of the day if your wingers are having to come too deep to develop the play then he's never gonna be in the right place when the ball's passed to him on goal.

Looks to be a excellent player when he gets used to our style of play but has to get rid of the man u style of I've been touched so I must go down.

Looks quality, great runs into space. Terrified readings defence which caused the own goal.
Only negative is he seems a bit lightweight and was easily bounced off the ball

Did you go to the match? I'm guessing no.

I thought it played really well, and instead of being taken off for Dunk, he should of been put upfront by himself and Ulloa should come off...
He played some great one touch passes, and could of had a couple assists. I like the fact ran his socks off and put in some good tackles and his movement was first class...
Looking forward to seeing him week in week out...

Any decent player that comes here becomes mediocre overnight. It's the law.

Lopez was taken off for dunk. Lingard lasted 60 minutes until the game started to pass him by (not necessarily his fault, tough game and he's only young). His substitution was 100% the right thing

Yeah sorry, I meant when he came off for Buckley. I don't think he should of been taken off, he had the pace to cause a counter, whereas Ulloa didn't, the game wasnt passing him by IMO he just wasnt getting enough service, I think he should of been given a chance up front by himself, Ive seen him play there and CAM for United and he is very effective. Im sure he will get a chance in them positions. I feel CF is his best position, and thats where his future lies.
