He's shit like everybody else, then you've got people who are even worse. Bored of players who are just trying, we've got enough of those. Captain is coming on to show us that he's trying as well.

We're in a bad period as a team but that does not mean that we should be blind to players who still have what it takes to make it here. Herrera is absolutely one of those players. He is asking for the ball, making himself available and showing some character.. in a better side, he is definitely worth keeping. Its the likes of Mata and Carrick who have no future here.

Someone like Memphis is also perilously close to getting shipped out as well, I like the lad but in terms of his performances he has been absolutely dire.. barely a smidgen better than Rooney.

 

[Raees]

He's been poor

But everytime he passes forward Fellaini, mata, martial and Memphis are fecking it up with a shite first touch

Exactly, none of them are getting into decent positions to receive the ball and when Herrera slots the passes through.. they get bundled over - making him look bad.

So it's everybody's fault but his eh?

Rooney mk 2.0 that is.

He's played shit, why does everyone on here make excuses for him?

 

[ivaldo]

Im a big fan of his but he's been absolutely terrible today, he's made Smalling look like a good passer.

 

[Ish]

Quick sand for him today. Gone from bad, to worse, to shit.

Like most today. At least he's been visible though.

 

[Yorkeontop]

Ander was shocking today. I'd still take a bad Ander though 7/10.

 

[Amar__]

Terrible performance from him. Our best player today.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Been awful, but at least he tried. Were Carrick or Mata playing. Be interesting how this team play with a different manager. He should have played instead of Fellaini.

 

[ZDwyr]

He was bad. As bad as the others really.

 

[soap]

Terrible performance from him. Our best player today.

Lol'd

Definitely his worst performance here by a long way..

 

[a_devil_inside]

Doesn't really help assure of his place in the team with this performance

 

[Ace of Spades]

He was poor.

 

[Raees]

Shite second half. He looked like he was deliberately trying to give the ball away it was that bad.

Wouldnt surprise me to be fair

 

[Wednesday at Stoke]

Count track of the number of times he had to drop between defenders to collect and distribute the ball. Neither Smalling nor Jones can pass for shit and Carrick went into his shell. Took on two jobs and ended up doing neither well.

 

[XdanielredX]

Wasn't great.

Still have faith with the right manager in the right system he could still be the midfielder we are looking for.

 

[Boycott]

Woeful passing. Expect him dropped on Monday

It should have been Morgan in and him at 10. If LvG was thinking about the Chelsea game, I hope he is sacked before then.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Woeful passing. Expect him dropped on Monday

Hoping we have a different manager by then. I would put LvG and the rest of us out of our misery.

 

[Devil may care]

Played with the same kind of useless aggression as Rooney and Was awful on the ball today.

 

[K2K]

poor, but they all where.

 

[Tosicsleftpeg]

His worst game for united, genuinely woeful today and I love him usually.

 

[Lawman]

He gets better every game he doesn't play.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

He gets better every game he doesn't play.

Nobody played well today. So no point singling out one. It seems to be a malais going through the team.

 

[JohnnyLaw]

Terrible performance from him. Our best player today.

I had a similar thought about Fellaini today. Probably our worst player and our biggest threat.

 

[limerickcitykid]

I had a similar thought about Fellaini today. Probably our worst player and our biggest threat.

Thats kind of typical Fellaini for me. They'll be 20 minutes left in a game and he'll have been shit for the first 70 but I still don't want him to come off because you just know he can pull something out of his ass that the others just aren't capable of.

 

[criticalanalysis]

It's useless criticising and defending any sort of player atm under LVG.

(ok my man love for Herrera is still strong, let me be blinded ok?!)

 

[limerickcitykid]

van Gaal or not, his passing was shocking. He continuously passed straight to the other team.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

van Gaal or not, his passing was shocking. He continuously passed straight to the other team.

At least he tried. He had a stinker. I would be worrying more about the ones who just don't do anything. They are the big problem. I will still bang on about him playing further forward. How the hell Fellaini gets in this side I do not know. Oh I do know we are short of strikers.

 

[FujiVice]

Maybe its not a coincidence that our best passes tend to be our worst players under Van Gaal. Not forgetting Paul Scholes even said he'd hate to play in this team, because all you can do is pass and just hope someone does something with it. Theirry Henry mentioned this last week. There are no runners in our side. Our attackers are forced to keep position all of the time. This is always going to hurt the likes of Herrera and Mata.

I'm not having this at least he tried. They weren't difficult passes he was trying, they were mainly square balls out wide or into the middle. Bog standard passes that he was getting completely wrong. His most passes were to Jones and Mata who is never in an attacking position. He made one pass near towards the opposition box. So, no I am not having he tried to create stuff because he really didn't. He was shit and couldn't even do the basics right. Everyone else was shit too, but so was Ander and I'm sick of the excuses he gets.

 

[Shamwow]

Oh my days he was the essence of bad.

 

[Name Changed]

He was poor. I still think he was our best player. At least he attempts to make something happen. He looks for an odd through ball. He doesn't hide away from possession either.

 

[pacifictheme]

So it's everybody's fault but his eh?

Rooney mk 2.0 that is.

Pretty sure thats the opposite of Rooney mate. It was his fault we went 2 0 down today.

 

[Oo0AahCantona]

I like the guy, but can somebody please tell me what his best position is, and whether he's actually good enough for a top team in said position. ive never seen him dominate a game as a no.8 and when i see the likes of Ozil, isco, silva eriksen etc etc destroying teams as a no.10, i dont see him comparable in that position either.

 

[m1y2]

still easily our best midfielder today, as carrick didnt show up, he made so many good interceptions and tackles, amde up for his bad passing today, but you can tell the guy tried and wasnt hiding with a captain band on his arm.

defo deserves to start alongside schneiderlin next game

The big mistake was not having Morgan in that midfield as well. One up front with Herrera the most foward midfielder. Instead we had two in midfield away from home, yet LvG insists at time playing three in midfield (2 DM's at that) at home. Then we had Fellaini up front under this misconception that he is actually good in the air. I am sure Martial would appreciate little through balls from Herrera than hoping Fellaini can knock the ball down.

Yea, 0 and 3.

have you seen who played around him today? he was in the midfield alone doing all job defensively, he tried hard to make us look good but when carrick doesnt show up and fellaini is everywhere but not where we need him then how can you possibly judge Herrera? I think his best position is as no8 but he didnt paly like this today much, he had to drop too deep at times and never had a player to link with up front either as fellaini just cant do this as he is all the time trying to get into box and completely misses in the build up higher up the pitch as he cant operate in tight spaces.. Herrera will be our best player once we get Schneiderlin back and change the system to more aggresive and attacking, he would be unstoppable under someone like Klopp or Pochettino, I just wish the next manager will try to play high line as a lot of players would benefited form it as well as us fans, get rid of Rooney, get someone Kane who puts up pressure form the top and the other players will thrive
