It is when we play many matches and the big teams you people are going to appreciate what Lingard brings to a game.

There are some players who are not as tricky as other ones with great foot work. But they are consistent and are big game players. They hardly fall flat. Similar players were JS Park and Tevez.

I think Messe Lingod is a very important player to the ole-ball System.

Lingard is the best in terms of working off the ball. He is also the most consistent attacking player we have.
Lingard that was finding it difficult to pass and move yesterday. He will pass the ball and still wait behind to receive backward pass instead of running forward to play one two

1. This man had zero celebration skills
2. How did was such a deadly finisher remain a substitute across generations? Damn
3. He was also selfish af

Really for those who watched him for most of his career, why exactly was he always on the bench?

Lingard was poor in working off the ball yesterday unless you meant defending . He would pass the ball and wait instead of making forward run to receive the ball back

We won't play big teams every weekend. Out of 38 matches, there are only 8 big matches

Linagard was our best player in Ole's first match. And has bailed us out against small teams. The fact, he has been our most consistent attacking player for years.

How did he moved forward against Cardiff? All the players are guilty of same. Moreover, Lingard has a duo function, he doubles as the man in the hole. If you watch well, Rashford and Pogba were running into the box for long crosses while Lingard waits behind them. It is still part of the plan.

The coaches are not foolish to keep him on for 90 minutes in most matches while Rashford and Martial get substituted. It same for the Three Lions.

We are not tolerating Ole slander in 2019 sir. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was all about keeping things simple and effective--the ultimate prototype for the modern attacker. He was the equivalent of a bench tactician studying the strengths and weaknesses of opposition defences while plotting the most lethal means of putting the ball in the goal.

Ferguson enjoyed having Solskjaer as his ultimate secret weapon. The man could have easily starred for other top English clubs as a starter but his loyalty to the club ensured he stayed back.

Tottenham were fierce admirers and wanted him as a first choice striker. The guy also had a hell of a cross on him.

I guess his engine and tactical nous was much more suited to playing the assassin as opposed to the main act.

He needs to do more technically. This is not even about his goals but how he brings others into play. When he's not scoring, he's not assisting either. You hardly see him get into positions where he can assist others. I'm not sure I've seen him attempt a difficult pass before

These players have dribbling skills. They can hold the ball and create space for others. They attempt difficult passes everyday

LOL. Nothing there was meant to be slander, but thanks.

Selfishness is not necessarily slander.
But it stands to reason that for all those times he opted to shoot(and score) instead of square when the angle was acute, there must have more than a few where it didn't work out.

If depends on the set up you play in. William will do fine in an attacking set up.

Abeg, that Gomes is not ready yet. Even Pereira
And that's why I just can't entertain the idea of Willian... It's better we blood the young guns in especially now we have all come to the terms that winning the league is impossible...
We can still make something outta the season by blooding in our youngsters who have shown promise thus far.

I used to be a willian fan,until leyqute point out that he really his only good in a counterattacking set up. His not so great if you lay siege to your opponent goal.

The few time I watch the guy he plays like a boss.

PietroRick:
using the same 'malfunctioning' to desribe lukaku and benteke is extremely harsh on lukaku and generous to benteke.

Lukaku is probably playing at his peak or very close to it atm and it is almost certain he will never break into category of strikers who are supposed to be leading the line for clubs who are serious with themselves.

At the time of his move, there weren't a lot of available alternatives and it was understandable at that point but my guy if we see person wey wan take him and he wages off our books, while giving us our outlay back, we will not be wise to refuse to take and run.



I was just going for a joke with that word.
Na their weight I suppose attack.

If he gives us around 20 goals this season all competition I think we can get 50million for him.
Am still a believer sha.

Hello ladies and gentumehn.......

In this 2019, i pray more trophies to our cabinet for our dear club, more goals for our strikers, more assists for our playmakers, more clean sheets for our defence, more own goals for our opponents, 0 goals from open play in the UCL for Hidden Hazard and finally, trophylessness for Liverpool.

Outside Ruud Van Nistelrooy he is perhapbs the best pure finisher i have seen at the club, and yes his celebrations were controlled.

Why was he a sub?

1) We had 4 good strikers, all with different strengths and weaknesses.

2) He cost little, compared to Yorke and Cole. He and Sheringham were brought in essentially knowing they would likely be substitutes.

3) While all 4 were good strikers, Yorke and Sheringham were the 2 best in terms of technique and creating for others while Cole and Solskjaer were better in terms of the hunger for goals.

4) He had the greatest likelihood of scoring from the bench with even his 1st touch, unlike Cole who usually had to miss a number of chances before getting into rhythm.

5) He had the least ego, and this unfortunately made him the most suitable for the bench while maintaining team harmony.

Lastly, that Yorke/Cole combo could be very,very deadly. Ask Gbenga Okunowo.
