He moves the ball better than our other midfielders (apart from Pogba)
This is pretty much his performance in every game he's started for us. The amount of times I've seen this post is funny.He started off well but faded a lot over the course of the game.
Give this man/woman a gold star.Fred and Pogba do not occupy the same position in the slightest. We are currently playing Pogba out of position. Fred is a b2b or a defensive mid in a pivot. Pogba is a creative mid or a 10, even left midfield in some systems. They both want to occupy completely different zones.
PogbaThose would function just fine with both in them.

Strange you say that as I'd say it's almost the exact opposite. Fred has had a lot of games where he's started poorly for the first 15 minutes or so, before getting his act together for the rest of the match.This is pretty much his performance in every game he's started for us.

He moves the ball better than Pogba too. One good thing about Fred is that he is always getting himself on the ball. A good change from the often anonymous McTominay and Pereira.He moves the ball better than our other midfielders (apart from Pogba)
I’d agree about tonight’s performance. Switched the play well, chose the right passes, always showed for the ball. He had less impact as the game went on but thought that was more to do with the personnel around him not making the same runs/movement.I thought he was probably our best player tonight, along with Dalot. Has a big future here I think, if he can be consistent.

He was pretty average i thought, although better than matic. Gave the ball away a good bit, he just doesn't excel at anythingI felt he had a good game. It's good to see the stats back that up.
Obviously against a weak team but still I thought he was our best player today.
Your can only play what's in front of you, bla bla.
It's the 'we dont like certain players no matter how well they play brigage'. He was good today, doesnt help him he had a the 5 touch and then pass matic next to himWas he really that bad? Seeing come criticism of him but I thought he brought a fair bit of energy for us in the middle.
Not world class by any means but not worth some of the negativity I'm reading.
Pity they don’t have the stat for most touches. He’d win that by a country mile. Seems to need an extraordinary number of touches before he’s able to play a pass.Tweet

He took 155 touches, so not that many extra.Pity they don’t have the stat for most touches. He’d win that by a country mile. Seems to need an extraordinary number of touches before he’s able to play a pass.
