It's not just the passing. Anytime he has to go forwards, be it a pass or a dribble, he's struggled. Terrible performance.
Very harshCowardly
Not being a coward. He just doesn't have the ability to pass between lines with any kind of zip, or to dribble past anyone. He's not choosing not to do something he's capable of. He's just not capable of anything special with the ball at his foot.
He's been 'okay' at best this season.
The midfield is still not close to being where it needs to be.
He's never been one to impose himself in an ultra-positive way or to move the ball into dangerous areas.You'd think with all that time and space he had he'd be able to impose himself in the game more.
This to be honest.We're better when he plays.
He's never been one to impose himself in an ultra-positive way or to move the ball into dangerous areas.
His best attributes were/are basically being a leader, being tactically versatile and being disciplined.
His actual ball-work is nothing special.
Delph and Dembele offer more with a ball at their foot.
You could copy and paste that most weeks.Poor today, too cumbersome, too many touches, too many sideways passes, too slow.
This.He was good. How blind do you have to be to not see we're a better team when he plays.
He´s a maestro, but he´s not making the music himself anymore. United needed somebody like him. They got what they paid for. He just needs a decisive play-making partner in defensive midfield and some fullbacks that push forward. If you expect Schweinsteiger to be the playmaker and best technical midfielder you are in deep shit. Obviously when you play for Bayern and Germany, who have top class defensive midfielders in abundance, his weaknesses won´t hurt the flow of the game. Meanwhile his positives will shine through.He's never been one to impose himself in an ultra-positive way or to move the ball into dangerous areas.

It's blatantly the other way round.There are some people that will criticise him every week because his name isn't Michael Carrick. It's so obvious we're a better side when he plays but every week people shit on him.
What is there to build around? Does he pass particularly well? Get forward much?Maybe the new manager will build his team around him?
