Because I don't believe it to be true. For one Fellaini has started at 10 before him this season and last, Januzaj and Memphis too this season.
It's like that with loads of people on here. Any player who has a bit of a **** following on here have others go against him purely because others like him. So weird.
Herrera has been a very good player for us, scored lots of goals, professional, never complains when benched, no attitude problems..seems to relish playing for the club...Its weird indeed, and sad in equal measure.
Right you are, Garth.
If Herrera was British things would have been pretty different.
Nepotism eh devilish.
Bias. Barkley is not as good as Herrera. Also the former is more comfortable at no 10 and we already have 4 NO 10s (Rooney, Mata, Januzaj and Fellaini). I don't mind us buying British players. However they must be as good/better to what we have and in positions we actually need. (I wouldn't mind if we get Stones for example)
Don't understand how any United fan could dislike Herrera. Fantanstic player AND great lad too
Either depay or rooney should moke way for herrera, I almost call herrera our frank lampard, if VG built the team around him. If VG put him in the advanced role, he can score goals from distance, he always is on the end of things, and is quiet capable of scoring penalty's. It is a mystery how he is even seen has a bench player, VG should know better. Herrera's goals record has been better than rooney's yet VG continues to play him, when its herrera who has been producing yet VG puts him on the bench
Like being kept out of the national team instead by 2 players not as good who don't play well together?
It boggles the mind how he thinks we have to have a SS even though that makes us prone to getting overrun, barcelona at the height if their dominance never played with a SS, and VG must play Bastian, Morgan and Herrera, it would give us so much control, Martial has really given us that acceleration, play the 3 and we could do what we did against everton
erm what?
Eh? He's been our only performer in that half, managed to find himself space quite regularly, it's just unfortunate he has nothing ahead of him to play the final ball.
Agreed. The ball is plodded to him and he's doing really well to weave a man and receive, but there is nothing ahead of him.
When playing number 10, you have to be more adventurous. You have to make things happen. It's funny, when there's no movement for Ander, it gets pointed out. If Rooney plays there and plays the ball wide that often, no mention of poor movement is made. I'd be surprised if he lasts the full 90 minutes if he continues playing as he did in that first half. He was playing easy ball too often. Wasn't looking to give and go. Instead, it was get the ball and pass wide or backwards.
Best performer in that half ain't saying much. Anyway, I wasn't really criticising him, just pointing out that it isn't his best position. In the long term we could really do with a quality #10.
Ha. Very true. Has played a few nice forward passes in this second half, which is what I felt was missing first half. Great pass for the goal.
I saw him holding his side. Hope that isn't a problem.
Don't know what game you were watching or what's wrong with your eyesight. He was one of our best players today. Needs to start in a midfield trio for us regularly.Beautiful ball in the build up to the goal.
Was hoping he was just winded at first, but then seemed a bit more then that. Hopefully nothing more then just a bit of a knock and he'll be fine.
