With Robb's whereabouts still unknown, i thought i'd keep with tradition and continue with the good ol Player ratings following the match..
Different format though, just pick a player and assign a number next to it.
Here it goes:
Lingard - 7.5
Player Ratings v Swans..

Missed the game, how did the kids do and we’re we fluid with the Martial/Lingard/Rashford trio?

Did the job. We were more fluid in patches I would say. Setting up with 5 across the back was helpful I thought - it was harder for their press to shut down all of the defenders and we were mostly able to shift the ball around it. Once we had the ball to Blind or Darmian in a bit of space we were finding passes to McTominay/Herrera/Lingard in between their lines and there was some good play off the back of that. Still weren’t creating enough chances for me but we controlled the game easily.
Darmian had a good game and Lingard was best on the pitch. Question marks on Lindelof, he’s far too timid, but the minutes will do him good. Cameo for Shaw at the end and he still looks like he is carrying excess weight.
Glad that Mikhi got a rest. If we are gonna play 4-2-3-1 against Spurs I’d actually prefer Martial-Lingard-Rashford behind Lukaku. The understanding between Lingard and Rashford is very good.
Romero was solid too. Very assured keeping. Not much to do but great reflex save near the end.

They complained about it being offensive when Ja started

Shaw has always looked like he's carry excess weight. After 3 seasons at the club and the leg break 2 years ago I do feel like he's had more than enough time to get on with things and knuckle down but I'm not sure he has.

Lingard and Rashford always look good together.
Those two also combined really well with Lukaku preseason I thought.
With Mkhi out of form, maybe we will see more of that trio in the next few games.

Can't wait for Matth's video on Lingard's performance...

I could see an 8, but my marks are generally tight, a real arshaul I am at times.
