Doesn't seem to know his role in the team. Typically too close to Rooney, and not drifting into good positions at all.
Pretty poor.

Yup. If we sign another forward I'm almost certain he'll go out on loan. Still looks a little undercooked for constant gametime here.He's handing the spot to Fellaini emphatically.
This is just one problem.I am a big fan, but he's been wank so far.
I think his problem is his lack of movement, he just stays and waits for the ball and obviously he always has some guy on his back.
He's not a number 10... I have no idea why LVG, or anyone for that matter, has ever thought that he is.
Classic redcafe. He was sub-par tonight, but he's a very young player who hasn't had regular game-time since his first professional season, which was 2 years ago with Moyes. Not to mention he's in a new position, in a system that (at first sight) doesn't seem to suit him. He excels with freedom and a license to play with risk.
We should judge him at the end of the season. He definitely can't be accused of not trying, to be fair to him - he was tracking a few runners and tried to make things happen around the box, it's just that he is going through a spell where nothing is coming off for him.
I'd like to see him go on loan, but we may need him in case of an injury to Mata/Depay/Young, and he'll have plenty of times to impress in the cup games. No doubt he has to step it up, though. He's definitely capable of more than this.
In what was is this "classic redcafe"? By saying he was poor (he was) or by saying he's not a number 10 (he's not)... either way, I don't see how anyone has been overly harsh on the bloke or anything.

Worst game of the season so far from him. A bit anonymous and didn't bring the energy and tempo I felt he brought to the previous few games (the first halfs in particular).
Herrera moved in and pretty much bettered him in every department so in theory should have taken his starting spot. Maybe coming on as a sub for a while might help him impact the game a bit better whilst he continues to mature.
