How Unique Lingard Is Silencing His Haters

BY Ryan Baldi Dec 4, 2017

Few players spark debate among fans quite like Manchester United’s Jesse Lingard.

The England international, depending on who you listen to, is either useless and not worth his place in the Red Devils’ squad, or a valuable, versatile local lad who offers a solid and reliable output.

Lingard’s recent performances, however, are rendering such debates redundant. The 24-year-old attacker has scored three times in his last two Premier League outings, netting crucial goals in tricky away trips to Watford and Arsenal.

What’s more, his unique skillset has made him vital to the new tactical system José Mourinho has employed in these fixtures. Where once Lingard would rotate into the team when a star needed a rest, he now looks absolutely crucial to the way United want to play.

In the games against Watford and Arsenal, Mourinho has utilised a kind of 3-5-2/3-4-2-1 hybrid formation.

This is something he has toyed with in the past with Henrikh Mkhitaryan in the floating role between midfield and attack, but the Armenian lack the consistency and defensive nous to be effective in the position.

Lingard, though, ticks all of the boxes. Mourinho needs the man in this role to be comfortable as part of a midfield three as well as wide in a front three; they must be intelligent enough to understand when to move between the two positions, and fast enough to make the transition.

Mourinho also needs this player to be able to press diligently, link with the other forward players and run behind them when the time calls, as well as having an intricate knowledge of their role in the team’s defensive shape and how to limit space and cut off passing lanes.

Lingard can do all of this. He may lack the creative touch of Mkhitaryan or Juan Mata, and he doesn’t have Paul Pogba’s flair, but he works tirelessly, is efficient in his use of the ball and possesses an acute understanding of how to exploit any space allowed by the opposition.

In the above image from United’s victory at the Emirates, we see Lingard (circled) forming part of a midfield three, alongside Pogba and with Nemanja Matić in the deeper holding role.

This, up against the Gunners’ 3-4-2-1, gives United numerical superiority in the centre of the pitch, making them harder to break down and offering more passing options when the ball is regained.

Again, we see Lingard (circled) in a midfield station, with United having fallen back into their defensive structure shortly after taking an early lead.

The Warrington-born star is constantly surveying his surroundings to remain aware of the opposition’s positioning, and is well placed to intercept or press if the ball is moved into his zone.

You can clearly see that Anthony Martial and Romelu Lukaku are operating as an orthodox front two in this scenario.

However, when United are on the ball, Lingard switches gears and helps form a front three with, moving up alongside Martial, with Lukaku (out of shot) slightly ahead of them.

Lingard’s ability to seamlessly transition between these two separate roles makes him incredibly difficult for Arsenal to pick up, creating a conundrum for the home side of whether he is the responsibility of the midfield or defence.

As such, he has been able to find space between the lines, from where his clever link play can hurt the opposition.

Although his goals have grabbed the headlines – particularly his stunning solo effort at Vicarage Road (Messi Lingard, anybody?) – the United No.14’s most valuable asset, at least in the eyes of his manager, is his pressing ability.

There have been times, both under Mourinho and predecessor Louis van Gaal, when Lingard has been fielded as a No.10 in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with the main remit of shutting down the space afforded to the an opponent’s deep-lying playmaker.

Some fans bemoan such tactical choices, feeling that a player in that position must be a creator first and foremost, rather than a destroyer, but his managers have understood the value Lingard can add through his work-rate and speed in transition.

In his new role within Mourinho’s malleable system, Lingard’s pressing again comes to the fore (Pressy Lingard…No?).

Lingard’s dedication to pressing was evident in the build-up to his first goal against Arsenal.

United pressed the Gunners superbly in the opening 20 minutes, and no man was more crucial to that than Lingard, who (circled) can be seen closing down the player in possession above.

As the Gunners shift the ball along their backline, Lingard doesn’t give up his pressing duties.

The pressure he puts Shkodran Mustafi under results in the German centre-back playing the ball straight to Lukaku, meaning United regain possession high up the pitch with Arsenal in disarray.

From there, Lukaku plays the ball into Martial, and Lingard continues his forward progress.

Demonstrating his link-up skills, he makes an intelligent run inside the Frenchman – the more obvious path on the right would have enabled Laurent Koscielny to block his progress.

Martial delicately laid the ball into Lingard’s path, and the Englishman finished confidently, in off the post.

The above average positions map (courtesy of Whoscored) from the Arsenal-United game shows that, despite his starting position being as part of the midfield, Lingard straddled a midfield and attacking remit, finding joy between the lines and frustrating the Gunners with and without the ball.

If this interesting new system is one Mourinho hopes to use going forward, Lingard might just become one of the first names of the teamsheet.

Kiujumla tuna tatizo kubwa sana kwenye namba 10 kwa sasa

Mikhi amedrop sana kiwango hivi karibuni nilitegemea kutokuwepo kwa Pogba/Fellaini yeye ndio inabidi aibebe timu lakini ameshindwa.Kama umegundua recently Mourinho ameanza kumchezesha Lingard kama namba 10 licha ya kuwa sio creative mid ukilinganisha na Mata/Mikhi .Kama Pereira angebaki msimu huu angecheza sana na huenda angejihakikishia namba
Hatimaye Lingard ameanza kufanya kile anachotaka Mourinho

EARLY TEAM NEWS V CSKA MOSCOW
Jose Mourinho has admitted he will make changes to his starting XI for Manchester United’s UEFA Champions League Group A decider against CSKA Moscow.

Speaking to MUTV at the Aon Training Complex on Monday, the boss confirmed Nemanja Matic is definitely injured and unavailable for Tuesday night’s European tie at Old Trafford.

“We have problems, we have injuries,” Jose said. “Matic is injured and when I say he is injured, he is injured. I am not going to make him play so Matic is out. A couple of others guys are playing every match and they also need a rest. More importantly, the other guys deserve an opportunity to play.”

On the subject of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who did not travel to Arsenal on Saturday, Mourinho revealed the striker needed time out to work on his rehabilitation from the knee injury he recently returned from.

“He is okay but he needs, now and again, specific work on the muscle that supports that knee that went through such a difficult surgery,” the boss told us. “When he works really hard on that, he gets fatigue and you cannot play with fatigue. It is something that we knew would happen now and again, that he needs to stop playing to become ready for harder work for prevention.”

The boss later told reporters that Sergio Romero will start against CSKA Moscow with Joel Pereira on the bench as our back-up goalkeeper, providing David De Gea with a well-earned rest following his heroics against the Gunners at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday.

Paul Pogba will also start against the Russian visitors, which Jose confirmed when asked how he has reacted to the red card he received in north London. “He's very happy to play tomorrow.

"It's the match that matters. He plays tomorrow. Of course, he's a bit tired because it was a huge match last weekend and just two days to recover for CSKA. But he's very happy to play tomorrow and to try to keep his momentum because since he was back from injury, he's been phenomenal.”

Asked if Luke Shaw might feature, the boss said: "He's working to have an opportunity and sooner or later, the opportunity will arrive. Because he deserves that opportunity. Selected for tomorrow, yes, for sure. To start or to be on the bench, I cannot answer."
 
Bosi wa Manchester United Jose Mourinho amesisitiza kuwa kiungo wake Nemanja Matic hayupo kwenye mipango ya mechi ya Ligi ya Mabingwa dhidi ya CSKA
Katika mechi ya wikiendi, Matic alicheza dakika zote 90 - licha ya kuingia dimbani akiwa hayupo vizuri na United waliibuka na ushindi wa 3-1 dhidi ya Arsenal katika uwanja wa Emirates.

Hata hivyo, Mourinho amemtoa Matic kwenye mechi ya Jumanne itakayopigwa Old Trafford kwa sababu ya majeraha, na amekiri kuwa Mserbia huyo pia atapata faida ya kupumzika.
Kocha huyo aliwaambia waandishi: "Tuna matatizo, tuna majeruhi. Matic amepata majeraha na ninaposema amejeruhiwa, amejeruhiwa.

Sitamchezesha kesho kwa hiyo Matic nje. Vijana wengine wanacheza kila mechi kwa hiyo wanahitaji pia kupumzika. Muhimu zaidi, wengine nao wanastahili kupewa fursa ya kucheza."
Matic ameanza mechi 20 akiwa United katika michuano yote tangu ajiunge na klabu hiyo kutoka Chelsea majira ya joto.
 
Japo kuna muda ka lingard kanakera ila kana magoli mazur sana

Goli la wartford na middle na Leicester ngao ya jamii magoli mazur sana.
lingard anafunga sana mechi muhimu, hapo ongezea

-goli la ushindi dakika 110 fainali FA cup na crystal palace
-mechi ya chelsea darajani 1-1 alifunga yeye
-fainali ya efl na southampton alitupia

fergie alitabiri lingard atakuja kuwa world class ila atachelewa, alimtabiria akiwa 24 sababu ni late boomer.

“He is 19, came through our youth system and is built like Jean Tigana was for France. But he never got into the limelight there until he was about 24, and I think that will be the same with Lingard.”

ukitoa fainali ya Europa lingard katupia fainali zote toka fergie astaafu.

na huyu jamaa namfananisha sana na ji sung park, anakabia mbele kule kule, muda wote anahangaika, akipata mpira ni decent anaweza toa pasi, au akafunga mwenyewe, chenga anajua etc.
 
CSKA akishinda le man u anatolewa....hata kwa bao moja tu angalia vizuri msimamo wa kundi lao
C
Hizo ni data zako za mfukoni
inaonekana umeangalia ila hujaelewa kanuni na wala hujui kwamba Man U alimpiga CSKA kwake bao 4 na ana GD kubwa

CSKA akimfunga Nan Utd ataweza kupita iwapo tu Base latafungwa na Benfica
Ila Man Utd atasonga mbele hata kama atafungwa 3-0

Kusonga mbele kwa Man Utd hakutaathiriwa matokeo ya Base ila CSKA ndio anategemea matokeo ya Basel ili asonge mbele

Kiuhalisia Man Utd keshapita ila kuongoza kundi ndio ishu kama atafungwa 4-0
2c27359f6161d72188aefa0015d3ec4d.jpg


Chief Mkwawa na RRONDO hapo juu wameshakuelewesha
 
Basel ahata ashinde kumi na Man Utd afungwe 10, MAn Utd hatoki simply because of Man Utd advantage of Head to Head vs Basel 3-1. Europe wanaangalia head to head sio Goal Difference.
nafahamu hilo la head to head ila cska akimfunga man u goli nyingi na yeye atakuwa na advantage over man u

man u point 12
basel point 12
moscow point 12

basel akilingana point na cska basel ana advantage
cska akimfunga man u nyingi cska ana advantage
man u ana advantage over basel

hivyo unaona kuna triangle hapo, kati ya hao watatu wote wana advantage kwa mwenzake mmoja. hivyo kikitokea kitu hicho yanaangaliwa magoli.
