I like his passionate reaction when Zlatan pen went in. He's earned a much needed rest and the suspension has worked to perfection.
Come on now, he's been good this season. One bad game and he should be rotation, jesus.This is the best description of Herrera I've read. In an ideal world, he'd be a rotation player for us.
Yet today alone when he wasn't even at his best and had a poor game he put Valencia twice, Mata and Lingard in behind the opposition defence....Brilliant at shutting down the space but he's so conservative with his passing we get nowhere when he's on the ball.
Not basing it on one bad game. He's quite limited and inconsistant, and his position is one that should be upgraded if we are eventually going to start challenging for league titles. I dont want to see him leave, though.Come on now, he's been good this season. One bad game and he should be rotation, jesus.
This is how I feel as well, I thought he had a ok game.Was I watching another game? well I admit it was 4am and u lasted only the first half but I thought he played like he always did. He intercepted balls and took balls off players. That is his role and he did that. He isn't supposed to be the all amazing passer but he isn't bad at that either. Where is all the hate coming from :/
An Ok game where with different ref, he could be off.This is how I feel as well, I thought he had a ok game.
My opinion too you should now put on your hard hat and take cover though.Not basing it on one bad game. He's quite limited and inconsistant, and his position is one that should be upgraded if we are eventually going to start challenging for league titles. I dont want to see him leave, though.
The people who say "we need an upgrade on Herrera because he isn't that good on ball" then go on to say we should have signed Kante to play alongside Pogba. Very contradicting statements.These are the games where the 'we need an upgrade on Herrera crowd' come from.
His defensive work has been great this season overall. However when he receives a pass, in general it goes back to the player who passed it to him in the 1st place. It's frustrating to watch.

I was watching it from N2413 and I felt the same. Maybe it looked different on TV? He wasn't great but he was decent enough.Was I watching another game? well I admit it was 4am and I lasted only the first half but I thought he played like he always did.

Fair enough, but I don't think Kante is an upgrade on Herrera nor did I want him alongside Pogba.The people who say "we need an upgrade on Herrera because he isn't that good on ball" then go on to say we should have signed Kante to play alongside Pogba. Very contradicting statements.
He is literally our most consistent player.He's quite limited and inconsistant,
Valencia is the most consistent, but Herrera is at the top as well.He is literally our most consistent player.
Yeah, I forgot about him, but Herrera is nothing less consistent.Valencia is the most consistent, but Herrera is at the top as well.
Yes, I know, sorry for "nitpicking", just wanted to "praise" Valencia.Yeah, I forgot about him, but Herrera is nothing less consistent.
He's a good player wearing his heart on his sleeve, which is hard to come by. But holy molly, him and those silly fouls are getting on my tits.I like him a lot, but his occasional tendency (especially recently) to lose the ball in his own half whilst facing our goal, is frankly terrifying.
I would still be able to smell the shite you talk....lol touchémakes a change from wearing a blind fold with your fingers in your ears
I would still be able to smell the shite you talk....lol touché
Yes, I get as much satisfaction from his customary once-a-game professional foul as from almost anything else.I love this running joke he has of stopping opposition counter attacks in increasingly snide manners.
Nice to see he has a bit of a cnuty side.
Some people are desperate to find fault with Ander. As I said, watching it in the ground he looked fine. Some mistakes, yes, but broadly fine. Plus the stretty even sang his name after one slide tackle so he can't have been that bad!how was this not a good performance? great defensively as always and some nice through balls too..
yeah, for me he played very well against St. Etienne. I love his tackling and smart interception. he still need to improve more and reduce some of his unnecessary mistakes.youtube-VbejLEYr00 how was this not a good performance? great defensively as always and some nice through balls too..
For me he's performing at such a consistently high level performances such as these are considered 'poor' for Ander.Some people are desperate to find fault with Ander.

He is suspended for Europa second leg, so he will get 1 week rest.showed he can be creative when given advanced role, shame about his shooting today, hes getting closer, had Zlatan reacted quicker he had another nice assist... his defensive work was top notch again, particularly like the moment when Pogba lost the ball in a dangerous position and Carrick had to rescue only to lose it himself and Ander won that 50/50, great player, his inclusion today shows how important hes to Jose, he can play advanced role and more restricted one both great, our games lacks aggressivity and passing dynamics without him, wonder if he can play all games like Valencia, he needs a rest surely, the problem is there is no backup for him
oh yeah thats true good for us then, 3:0 up should be doable even without HerreraHe is suspended for Europa second leg, so he will get 1 week rest.
