"Of the 18 Premier League games he has started against Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester City, Arsenal or Tottenham, he has been on the losing side just three times. Eight have ended in wins."


Just confirms what everyone already knows that Herrera is a big game player with a ship load of MoM performances to go with it, but still an interesting stat nonetheless as I don't think our big game performances have been that good in recent years

I may be wrong though and would love to know our stats in those games when he hasn't started

He was basically MOTM in almost every big game last season for first 3/4 of the season. The Liverpool game is great example, he was by far best player on the pitch from both teams even though rest of our players were absolutely terrible that day.

Yeah I know, that's why I have quite the faith we'll do well even without pogba against the big teams in the next one month or so

Just wanted to point out that stat of only 3 losses in 18 starts against the big boys, would love the stats of the games without him in that's timespan anyone?

 

[IrishRedDevil]

The one game where it's vital to try and keep the ball and he has put two passes out for a throw in and smacked one far too hard at Mkhitaryans chest.

First one to get criticism but Matic is even worse. What a surprise.

 

[Shane88]

Been awful.

 

[Raees]

First one to get criticism but Matic is even worse. What a surprise.

Both been crap on the ball today.

 

[Minimalist]

Looks like a real amateur today with his pressing and tackling. Getting outsmarted at every confrontation. Passing is poor too.

 

[Dinghy]

Worst player on the pitch so far.

 

[MyOnlySolskjaer]

Awful, shadow of the performance he gave last season at Anfield.

 

[InfiniteBoredom]

He's rushing far too much when being outnumbered. Has to keep his head up and keep it simple, Pool is winning far too many second balls and he's responsible for a lot of that.

And stay on your feet.

Both been crap on the ball today.

I would agree with that, but I thought during the criticism in the matchday thread after first 15 minutes Matic was far worse and hardly anyone said anything against him.

 

[izec]

Gets outnumbered in midfield, also doesnt seem fit enough. I dont think he is much too blame, disnt play many games and a midfield 2 is not helping. Could have done better on a few occasions, but i wasnt expecting him to boss it anyway

 

[Raees]

I would agree with that, but I thought during the criticism in the matchday thread after first 15 minutes Matic was far worse and hardly anyone said anything against him.

Agree.

 

[Walters_19_MuFc]

So hard to come into a game like this, especially when you havent been playing often like Ander.

He just needs to settle down. Making some sloppy mistakes.

 

[Erics_Collar]

 

[lsd]

Has been complete and utter rubbish far and away the worst player on the pitch .He looks and plays like he is brainless .

Him and Mhki can't come off quick enough today

 

[Scorpy]

Needs to step it up. Nowhere near good enough so far.

 

[Jib]

Big game player huh...terrible first half

 

[Isotope]

Better than Kante?

 

[Kapardin]

So hard to come into a game like this, especially when you havent been playing often like Ander.

Young didn't have any game time until he suddenly got a chance, but he hasn't been as bad as this.

Let's stop making excuses for Ander. He's a likeable player, but he needs to do a lot more especially now that we don't have Pogba or Fellaini.

 

[Ace of Spades]

Big game player huh...terrible first half

Yes he is, and one bad game does not change that.

 

[Scarecrow]

Better than Kante?

Better than Fellaini even?

 

[ottosec]

Horrible every time he played this season.

 

[villain]

So far he’s justifying why he doesn’t get a look in in midfield

 

[OneUnited24]

He just doesnt work in a midfield 2. Isnt good positionaly and relies on his energy/pace to get back. You like players like that in a three but in a two he really exposes the team. Guess we can all see why Fellaini would play ahead of him with Matic

 

[Isotope]

Better than Fellaini even?

Not this season.

 

[Walters_19_MuFc]

Let's stop making excuses for Ander. He's a likeable player, but he needs to do a lot more especially now that we don't have Pogba or Fellaini.

Did Young come in against Liverpool?

I mean, dont get me wrong, he should be doing a lot better, but him playing more often would definately have helped. Just look at his performance last season.

 

[Scarecrow]

Not this season.

Not even close.

 

[Shane88]

Fecking sick of his moaning at the ref.

 

[IrishRedDevil]

He can't string a pass together and the constant moaning is annoying.

 

[Fergies Formula]

He shown his maximum last season as a ball winner and now has shown his limitations.

 

[Utdstar01]

I thought he'd been our best player today, not saying a lot though.

 

[Silas]

I thought he'd been our best player today, not saying a lot though.

How? I can't think of anything he's done particularly well.

 

[Sunny Jim]

Been poor today.

 

[Utdstar01]

How? I can't think of anything he's done particularly well.

His distribution hasn't been very good but he's broken up so much play and made so many tackles.

 

[JoaquinJoaquin]

Horrendous today and been very poor for a while now in truth. Fellaini rightfully deserves to be ahead of him in the pecking order.

 

[100]

Probably his worst match for us, his passing was shocking.

 

[pacifictheme]

I like herrera but he has no composure at all.

 

[BenjaminP]

One of the worst performances I've seen Ander play.
