It wouldn't feel nice to be James Wilson right now..
First someone your age is bought for so much and is now doing very well..

One can only hope he's strong enough to take this as a challenge to push himself to improve more quickly and not make him become generally more despondent

Pereirra lacks maturity in my assessment. He also disappears from time to time, particularly when we are not in control.


Fellaini is clearly struggling. Apart from helping us to clear crosses from our box when we came under pressure early in the second half, nothing else worked for him until we went two nil up and his position changed from number 10 to a deeper role. His chest couldn't magnet balls as he is known for, he kept knocking down for opponents. He was easily dispossessed, had many passes to opponents and two of such put us under serious pressure.

Valencia brings so much option to all the people playing around him and even the goalkeeper. He gave plenty option to Schweinsteiger, Mata and his centre backs. He stretches our attack. His first time control of the ball even when marked stands him out and makes him so comfortable on the ball.

People keep saying they don't like Memphis. Well to me, I have not seen any reason to blame him harshly.

Martial has evething going for him. When I saw his clip, I knew he had high dribbling skills. Something I like so much in football. I like players who can beat in the final third. Martial does it with so much ease. In that clip I saw he could dribble like Sterling and he had the scoring potential of Suarez. He also has pace and power. So far he plays like Henry truly, he has added power that gives him good holding balance and aerial strength when contesting for long balls from our defenders.

Ashley Young tried on the left side but we badly miss Shaw. Rojo's injury could force Gaal to play a right footer on the left side of our central defence, and that could mean less free flow passing on that side. But I still do not mind Smalling and Jones partnership. If they could replicate what they offered together in the past, we won't miss the passes. Defending first.....

It appears you guys missed out on some many news items.

Gaal made it clear Wilson and Lingaard were not needed for the match, he also gave them time to rest after their mid week match.

Even from the wilderness I read some news.
.......

.... Wilson and Lingard, Van Gaal said: "Today they have had a recovery day and also tomorrow is more recovery but I don't need them so they can have a day off and then Thursday they will be fresh and can train."- Gaal
It is illustrative of my point that LVG used Wilson and Lingaard for the reserve match but used Perreira for the senior match.
Perreira has more skill and potential definitely but Lingaard is more mature and senior team ready.
The truth is that foreigners like Perreira,Adnan and Pogba have less loyalty to United and so have to be spoon-fed wella if not they will be stolen by Real, Barca, PSG e.t.c.
Wilson and Lingaard will do a Welbeck and wait for their time..........the foreigners won't.

PietroRico:
you are right

Do you follow reserve players progress?
I've been hearing a thing or two about a certain callum gribbin and how he has rapidly risen through the ranks
I have not been following for awhile. The last set i watched was that of Perreira,Janko,Wilson. Dont know why they let Janko go so quickly

what would make martial super-successful is his incredible close control.
even when he's running at full pace, the ball never travels away from the end of his foot.
the way he dragged the ball last night....from slightly behind him right into his stride was really impressive.
for a 19-year old, he is extremely talented.

Not forgetting how he held off dat last defender giving him an extra second to position himself well enough to slot dat ball home the way he did. It was just beautiful to watch

Darmian should take the LB while Valencia(though always prone to leaving his position) the RB against top teams, aerial and physically playing teams and in some away games. Blind must play that left flank with Young or he'd be exposed.

..... .. ... DDG.. ... ..

Valencia... Smalling...Jones... Darmian

Very happy on the improvement of our attack, scoring 3 goals per match cool. We'd hardly lose a game if they continue that.

U and i both know with baba LVG, this ur proposed backline is nothing but fantasy. As far as LVG is still our manager, Blind must always play in dat defence..

I like Schweinsteiger.

Rooney gave it to Schweinsteiger, then he in turn passed it to DDG. He behaves like Scholes.

Yeah
Paulo never fancied the spotlight, just gets about his football like any regular averagely talented player would.

Between nice take down & composure for Rooney's goal, that's what the fans want to see.

he's a killer.
his footwork in close quarters and his composure in finishing are very deadly.
i am starting to think he likes placement instead of just shooting wildly too.
he's found the bottom corner in all his goals....by opening his body!

Analyst on ESPN said the same thing. He seems to favor the far post when he shoots. Makes me wonder how good he is on his weaker foot tho..

I just hope he has accurate long range shots to add. Like hitting solid shots from 20-25 yards. Otherwise he will not be complete.

I doubt he's good at long ranges...

From the few Ligue 1 highlights i watched from last season, most of his goals were usually from 18 yards out. But he's 19. Plenty of time to develop dat trait..

Another thing I noticed in all his videos I've seen is that he hardly uses his weaker feet to shoot.

It's not necessary to shoot with the left foot but the skill does come in handy sometimes. One could be in a tight position and won't have the time to change to a more comfortable position before slotting the ball home.

Rooney scored his goal yesterday with his left feet, I'd be surprised if Martial does the same thing.
