What Herrera does at 2.30 is what he was bought for, turning away from a marker and releasing a quick forward pass (also at 1.25 but that one was intercepted).
Agreed.Really shows how much we've missed a midfielder like him, if he gets so much praise for that performance. By his own standards he was average yesterday. Still better than the rest, but Fletcher was clearly better than him for example. In my eyes it's very obvious that he is still getting used to the system and the team around him. It will come with time.
Yeah you seen it with his completed tackles stats from La Liga but its already noticeable in these friendlies, he's a proper ball-winner when he wants to be.One thing that I really like about Herrera is that he's not afraid to get stuck in.
Is there a transcript/video of this interview? Love HerreraTweet

Its strange to see Herrera play so conservatively because he has always tried to get forward from midfield. Also, when he stretches his legs he's a real proposition as we saw last night. He's not easy to knock of the ball and when he works it into space he's capable of playing a key pass or striking the ball from range.I'd like to him to advance more, the Galaxy game is the only game where he had a good shot on target and a header in the box. Is it the quality of competition making him not advance? Is it the crazy pre-season schedule? Does he trust his partner's less to cover for him?
I only saw the highlights but that was absolutely the thing that caught my eye. It's the sort of thing we wanted Anderson to do and at time he did. Hopefully Herrera will give us that aspect.In the build up to our first goal Herrera showed why we spent nearly £30 million on him. With Liverpool getting tight in midfield we needed someone to lose his man, carry the ball to commit a Liverpool player and open up the space between their lines. Herrera provided that and then played a perfectly weighted pass to Hernandez, which allowed Chico to swing the ball in for Rooney's goal..
I love the way he muscles himself away from players, he really is a little bulldog. Exactly what we needed really.
Dunno the lad/lady who makes these Herrera match compilations but I like how quickly he/she gets them out.
Aye, but you have to remember he has a league 2 player in the shape of Cleverley next to him.I thought he was quite average last night, his passing seemed off at times, as did most of the team first half in all honesty, he commited countless fouls to boot, it's too early to judge him really, but the Galaxy game aside, I would say its fair to say he hasn't looked exceptional.
