Me no watch match but it sound like we were back to moi moi soccer

elampiro:
Our game was better when Rashford went to the right. We immediately improved when he went to the wing.

Fair enough, Defraud was getting all the balls and couldn't make nothing out of it...

Please is that ninja cursed?..abi na youthful exuberance

I was so frustrated by his uselessness

sinizia:
Are you kidding me? Calamity Jones? God forbid. Rojo should play instead of that unitelligent mumu.

How? Jones was at an excellent level in the games he played. It was when he joined the team that first time we went to the top and getting clean sheets.

Not really moi moi soccer... just a few players disrupting the flow of success

I wish I never saw the match tho

He is not matured.

elampiro:
He is very reliable on the pitch. It's just a bad injury. It began with a blood clot in his muscle. It was going and coming. But the last injury is ankle.

We need injured players to return but i don't really see jones starting games for us when he does. We might even move on from him in the summer and rightfully so.

The only thing Memphis appeared to ve done right...

Meanwhile, another one...

How reliable? ... that ninja can't stay fit to save his life..

I suggest he's given time off to recuperate and sort out his injury problems..

That guy is a waste of squad number

Ferdinand: "Otamendi was on the field but Kolo Toure was the centre back who looked worth £28M tonight."

That goat should go and play rugby and not soccer.

He will succeed

This is how people sounded about Smalling two years ago when he was getting injured.

Jones will be okay with injury. He has always been the fittest of our young defenders. Rafael, Fabio, Smalling, Evans were getting less game time due to injury than Jones.

I can bet no coach will sell Jones this summer. Just forget that.

He should be sold ...fukking liability!

I don't quite get your drift

U once said Chelsea will never compete with United for anything this season

I really wanted us to get Otamendi! But lately, i just dey thank God say we dodge dat bullet. Him and Pedro....

How can he be helped.... his cluelessness is hitting the sky.

Lol... I feel he hasn't adapted fully or just haven't formed a good CB partnership at City tho...

Good to dodge bullets, you sha live to breathe another day!!!

He has to stay around. Play matches whenever there is space for him. From squad player he can progress into a regular starter. May be next season.

Wetin the two teams dey compete for this season...

Is there a trophy for Mediocrity ni?

Buh LVG keeps playing him even at other players positional expense and he keeps stinking up the whole joint..

Can anything good come out of Defraud?

Hi, i am Schneiderlin, how may i intercept you today...

Defraud own go be "Hi I'm Memphis, frustration at your service "

We shouldn't wait that long for defenders to step up especially when we aren't properly stocked in that area at the moment. He can't even stay fit even to save his own life. Smalling had the luxury then and we could wait that long but now even at 26, he still can't be considered world class and there's no guarantee Jones might have the same luck or development curve.

These GIFs just keep on coming. LVG would be long remembered.

Don't forget he was on the bench for a long time. We were playing Lingard, Martial, Rooney, Mata/Herrera/Fellaini while Depay was on the bench due to his poor performance. We need to see if we can get a player like him into top gear, to his best to help us in the future. He is one player who could carry us if he gets into his best.

Jones is all brawn without brains. He lacks defensive knowledge. If Blind was half tough and tall like him, we'd have had on our hands a complete CB.

I can tell you if these two stay fit, they are as good as anyone. Particularly if they have a duo like Schneirderlin and Herrera in front of them.

Both play high line defence when they start together and they don't get outpaced. When Jones first returned, we restricted our oppositions to virtually no shots on target. If they decide to play a deep defence, you will respect them more.

Smalling is almost world class if is discipline not to go join attack, and if he gets a reliable partner who can help with half of the work.

Rojo's problem in CB is inability to track a striker sneaking behind him when a cross is coming in. Sometimes too he lost some aerial dues he should have won. It's been like that from last season.

When we played Stoke earlier in the season at the Britania, despite the high wind, Jones won dangerous crosses against strikers far taller than he. He and Smalling act as sweepers behind each other. It's like they trust each other to get the job done.

It's unfortunate that injury has prevented us from seeing what they can do together. I am thinking McNair, Mensah will mature with time. If at all we need a CB, it's just one. All those defenders like Zouma, Verane, no get two head.

I disagree. There were some matches Jones was even more composed than Smalling. Particularly when he first returned from injury, during that period we played Everton, CSKA, Man City, etc.

But on his second return from injury, he was sent straight into the team when he was not match fit, so he was heavy one the ball in the first match. Before we knew it he went on another injury. The third time, he was again at his peak, overlapping well before he got injured.

I think there is a wrong impression about Jones. It was actually caused by someone and everyone bought into it. Jones is very tidy in his passing.

When we played Stoke in the return leg, we played West Ham, we played Southampton, we had to draft Fellaini to midfield to help our defence in aerial balls. If we had Jones partnering Smalling, that wouldn't have been necessary. Also, their quick feet is another big assets to them.

Good game last night.. If we had turned all those scrappy draws into wins like last night, Arssnal fans for no dy make noise. Anyways, its 4 points behind dem nw.
Next up is the baggies..

Leyqute:
Memphis should go to the bench, his performance today shows no improvement from the crap he's been serving recently. Lingard or Adnan should start.

I beg to differ
