Correctly predicted him in my starting 11. See alot of decent qualities in the young man: passing range, positioning, and tackling. Hopefully takes his chance alongside Matic and emulates a young Carrick.
Surely no youth team player would get a chance at any club if the senior player ahead of them was performing at 100%.Its more necessity than a genuine need to play youth. If Fellaini was fit and Herrera wasn't sucking balls he wouldn't be getting game time. Jose is still riding Matic like a rented mule.
You can use that argument but you have to be consistent, like not suggesting LvG fluked into Rashford and Martial.Surely no youth team player would get a chance at any club if the senior player ahead of them was performing at 100%.
If Jose had decided to play Herrera instead, he would be slated for not giving kids a chance.
Bournemouth skipped past him for 60 minutes with ease. Granted he has been better the last 10 minutes but it was far too easy for them before that. He just doesn't contribute a lot, well not to the degree we need a Manchester United midfielder to.How are people not rating his performances???
Does the yards in midfield and comes up with some incisive forward passes. Isn't that what you want from a holding midfielder?
Because he's not a highlights player some don't rate him.Had someone complain on reddit that McTominay was too invisible for much of the game.
Some people can never be pleased. Not sure what people expect out of him during a game? He's supposed to be a defensive midfielder, and is not really at a level where he can control a game from that position.
Yeah, he did well on the ball but Bournemouth got pass our midfield a lot and I wasn't sure who's responsible for that. But encouraging signs from both him and Shaw.Bournemouth seemed to get by our midfield too easily on a few occasions but I don't want to blame Scott because I can't say I was particularly watching his positioning that closely so it might have been a combination of things, he did well on the ball though and looked comfortable throughout, encouraging signs.
I miss BFSMy stream was so shit that with those flowing (albeit blurry) sandy locks, I thought it was BFS in the middle of the pitch. But then he actually ran with the ball a bit and it assured me that it actually wasn't BFS.
This.He did well physically at the end but he was crap for 70 minutes. Anyone else saying otherwise clearly didn’t watch the game.
Completely agree. If there is one improvement he can make its positioning I think. We were too open at times through the middle and against better teams we will get punished.He's not very creative, but feck me he's an excellent physical presence in midfield. He keeps the ball very well, wins most of challenges and his short passing is excellent.
He looks like a proper number 6. Can easily be molded to become Matic successor. He's very similar to him.
Some of our fans are accepting mediocrity now it seems. Not to say he won't become a good player in time, but doesn't look like a United calibre player for me anyways. Standards have slipped for a few though I understand.I like his clamness, he's ok, just not sure he's got enough in his game for a team with our supposed amibitions.
