2023/24 Ashley Young

[Bayboy]

If Dyche plays him on Saturday it'll show a huge deficiency in his ability to see us through the season successfully.

If?

Of course he will play him.

 

[Arteta2391]

might be as bad as Cuco Martina

 

[Toffeepot]

When did he become a defender? I know, I know, he didn't
What I mean is I feel like I missed a meeting a few years back, because the first time I noticed him as a FB was for Villa last year

When did he stop playing wing primarily?

Wasn't he the intermediary between Valencia and Wan-Bissaka? Fairly sure I saw him RB for manutd. He moved on from manutd in summer 2020.

Man Utd a decade ago

You may be right there actually...that does ring a bell
So one of the Man Utd managers moved him back then probably which would be Moyes/Van Gaal/Mourinho?

That seems odd too tbh from defensive managers
Maybe he wasn't awful at defending before

Young was signed by Ferguson in 2011. Ferguson retired in 2013. Young was 4 years younger at the end of his manutd days, and had a lot more fresh legs around him to help him out. The conveyor belt of talent through the doors there that's been blighted is really quite unreal, like there's some divine right to be the dominant force Ferguson oversaw. Anyway, Young, I'm guessing a friendly 12 months with a pal in the MLS to sign off next summer?

 

[HalfTimeSayers]

Dobbin currently playing Tarky on EAFC live on Kick. Both started Young at right back.

When will it end.

 

[overkill]

Surely young has played himself out the team now

 

[Nymzee]

Ain’t even watching if I see him starting.

 

[Ming the Merciful]

Ain’t even watching if I see him starting.

Just miss the first half, he'll probably be sent off by then.

1993 ish when he was in his prime

 

[Mrbluenose]

You want to believe in your manager, but then they go and pick players like Young.

Makes it hard.

Sad thing is Cuco was better
