McFred is not our future midfield if we want to compete.
Maybe one can be a fixture in a competitive starting eleven, but both renders us utterly devoid of any creativeness whatsoever. I don't think they were bad today, or in general when they play together, but it's just too safe, which is weird to say as they're all action, go-go-go CMs, but we need a CM who can add some composure to the midfield. Especially at home when we need to break teams down.
In January we need a 10 and a CM even with Pogba coming back, imo. We not only lack creativity centrally, we lack composure, too. Whenever teams come at us we can't keep the ball. So, as well as getting a 10 in who can actually create and contribute to attacks (whether that be Pogba or a new man), we need a DLP who can pass, and resist pressing opposition instead of panicking at the first sign of pressure.
