Morning, time for my view like it or not.
Firstly, what a debut, couldn`t have asked for more albeit against a bang average Villa team.
So, been watching the boys vids through gritted teeth, Gonzo trying to convince me moyes is a tactical genius switching players around and solving the isolated striker issue, sorry mate not buying the argument, but the enthusiasm he portrayed nearly had me,
My take on the performance is this, back to basics, I hope it continues but I doubt it because moyes will begin to toy with him, he has already stated he doesn`t really know where he fits in HIS system, he didn`t play as if he had done for years with others it was all natural, moyes didn`t have the time to put the lead on the dog and show him where he can or cannot walk, but he has now.
So the free running free role we all saw and enjoyed may not last, everything he did against Villa came from HIS head and heart and he fucking loved it.
We all scream and shout at our tv`s knowing what should be done, where players should run into space where passes should and when be placed but it doesn`t fit in system, the game we all love is simple in principle, but over thought and over complicated by managers who know better but don`t, Jesse solved the isolation problem by knowing the space was there to be exploited and his instinct told him it was the right thing to do, but our other midfielders Lanzini, Anderson etc can all do what Jesse did but have all been pigeonholed into the system.
I wait to see what Jesse Lingard we will see today, lead on or lead off, Ole will be watching.
