Memphis, Lingard and Martial have been woeful. Defence and buildup have been very good. Would like to see Pereira and Mata, and perhaps Young if we are not scoring early in the second half.
Don't think you should single out individuals, it was a dreadful team performance. The fans leaving around the 80th minute mark summed it up. So lethargic. Martial and Lingard started brightly but faded, though Memphis was poor.
Nah, it is the lack of fear instead. Did you see how Rooney (who had a decent game otherwise) sloppily loses possession which led to a lightning counter? Happens with alarming frequency that.
You are totally wrong about LVG. He really cares about the person as much as the player and this affects his team selection. Lingard not being subbed, Rooney not being dropped when out of form. On the good side you see things like Smalling developing into a great player.
I've just saw highlights of the match, Lingard missed so many chances, it's not clear to me what's he's doing in first squad in such important match. Rooney played in defence, Depay and Martial nothing showed.
"I don't know what Lingard is doing in the first team squad"
Do you people actually watch games? Underperforming in one match doesn't make him a bad player, and if you don't play him now when are you going to play him?
