Is it just me or does he look like one of our best crossers? Not saying much but..

I agree. Running style or build can make people look faster than they actually are.
I personally liked Blackett but I think spending too much time in the gym affects his agility and ruined his progression as a player.
After Martial and when he was fit, Shaw was too, really. Nobody else in the side can drive powerfully with pace and cause defenders to commit like these mentioned can.
I definitely concur. I like his composure on the ball too.
nice performance. for an 18 year old he is so cool and confident.
His crosses remind me of a pre number 7 Valencia. He drills them in dangerous areas - it's a shame no one gets to the end of them.
He looks like he's high all the time.
He certainly tries to get a good pace and whip on them. Sometimes he will blast the ball into row z but that's the price we should be willing to pay to get a great ball in once in a while.
He definitely whips them in. He also seems to be our only fullback that actually gets to the byline when he overlaps.
Will soon be coached out of him.
Considering his age and inexperience, I have been impressed by Borthwick-Jackson. I do not think he looks significantly worse at left back than anyone besides Shaw. Rojo plays the role better, but Borthwick-Jackson has more pace and has time to mature when it comes to game management/judgement calls. I actually feel we'd be better served giving him a run at left back, so that Darmian can play on his natural foot.
You are a fun person to be around im sure
This. I did notice him playing on Sunday. Meaning that he was doing his job
Let's just say they're both fast as feck and for the record I love Evra, for me better than Irwin. So I won't have any didn't see enough of Evra bullshit, I've probably seen 95 % of his United matches.
Very well
Its still early days however unlike mcfail this guy seem to have some talent in him
Ashley Young and Luke Shaw became worse crossers of the ball since joining us. Valencia too.
Valencia's problems date back to much earlier than Van Gal.
Ashley young has arguably become better under Van Gal than under Fergie or Moyes.
Its not a Van Gaal issue. Its a United issue.. totally agree that under LVG there has been improvement but compared to his Villa days where he was the best crosser in the league.. been a drop in quality.
I rate Bo-Jack. Good attitude and no-nonsense approach. Not really put a foot wrong and you feel he's making the most of his chance.
His arms and quirky little run reminds me of T-Rex.
His arms and quirky little run reminds me of T-Rex.
I seem to recall him being good in his first 6 months, then it dropped a lot.
He's looked very capable when stepping in and obviously has good pace and ability. The drawback for me is he seems a little reactive and not aggressive enough, watching things happen in front of him rather than snuffing danger out early. I think that's probably inexperience and the pace of the PL being a factor. I'd expect him to improve with more game time in the first team.
I really highly doubt its either.
I think its just a perception issue. You remember the failures more when they play for United because they annoy you, whereas you only remember their successes for other teams.
Yeah.
Against Liverpool:
Against Chelsea (hit a bit too hard but still one of the better crosses I've seen from our fullbacks since Shaw got injured):
That one against Chelsea was a beaut
Not really. Anyone would tell you just how good a crosser he once was.. he was in everyones PL Fantasy team and would rack up assist points like crazy. Playing for a bigger team there is added pressure, granted but the rest of his game hasn't been that bad.. it was crossing which completely deserted him for a while. He seems decent at it again now but nowhere near what it once was.
Man Utd 0:1 Southampton
He's so slow when it comes to passing and he always needs a couple of touches before making a decision. He got some talent, but nowhere near ready to be playing for the first team.
Could we actually call him Cameron Jackson? So we could cut it to CJ?
Having a player in front of him to pass to would help.
The only positive that can be taken from today's mess is CBJ's performance, I liked those inside channel passes he played 2 or 3 times, he seems a smart player.
He's been a bright spark in this shitshow of a team. Kinda like McNair last season actually, but he seems more composed.
Well said!
Again!
Miles better than McNair. Looks a great talent.
Yeah spot on.
Yeah, going to expand on this before people slate him for not doing anything going forward. He was playing as a wingback today, not a full back. The main issue with a 3-5-2 is you need specialists in every position...quick aggressive CB's good on the ball, very complete centre forwards and wingbacks that can hold down a whole wing by themselves, attacking and defensively. Only a few players around can actually play well as a wingback....Lichsteiner, Alex Sandro, Alves, Marcelo, Alaba etc. Good stuff from Jackson again today, when he adjusts to the speed of 1st team football passing wise, and gains a few pounds, he can be an excellent option for us.
Always belong in a higher bracket than the likes of McNair in the youth team/U21s tbh so not much of a surprise.
He needs to be trained/developed more on his attacking prowess for sure, has always been regarded as a more defensive type of fullback.

I thought he was relatively poor today; of course so was nearly the whole team. And the whole 3 (5) at the back doesn't appear to help anyone.
Its just such a stupid decision. You have an 18 year old who has hardly played at u21 level let alone first team level so what do you do? Give him the whole left side of the pitch to play by himself. Who the feck could think that would be a good idea? CBJ did alright but you're never going to get anything productive trying to set up like that.
