Goals give a huge boost to the ratings on there. Probably too much for non-strikers. Maybe just subtract .5 from his ratingHow was Alli rated that high? He scored a goal alright, but what else?
wtf but I constantly read he cant pass or shoot
That could explain his early-mid season form. A healthy Herrera is one of the best glue guys for the squad. fitys in well, does his job with no fuss and lots of bite. Not superstar material, but effective nonetheless. One of my favourite players. And to think LVG tried to stifle this guy. Mental.I remember he got injured in pre season against Madrid, he never looked quite right after that. Then he started the season quite poorly, then got injured and had a long lay off. Then came back against Sevilla then got injured again. It's been a frustrating season for him.
That RvP strike, boy do I miss him.
In big games, he should always be in the team, but against teams that sit back, I still personally feel we need someone more creative and better going foward.Always ends up earning his place as a key player by the end of every season only to be dropped at the start of every new one.
We would hate him if he played for our rivalWhy do pundits continually make out that he's a cnut of a player?
Im genuinely baffled at this.
Again, but why? Is it the way he looks?We would hate him if he played for our rival
Its the theatrics.Again, but why? Is it the way he looks?
His goal at 01:10 is pretty sweet tbf.
I don't see that. He isn't much of a diver and doesn't roll around the ground more than most?Its the theatrics.
That definitely adds to it, but what I'm talking about is sometimes, Herrera makes a big deal out of nothing challenges, especially when the opposition is trailing. Its hilarious when he's on our side, but I understand if it rubs oppo fans the wrong way.I don't see that. He isn't much of a diver and doesn't roll around the ground more than most?
It just seems to have picked up steam that he's a cnut player and I can only equate it with being very good at nullifying better players than himself.
He must be a practitioner of the dark arts to upset Eden Hazard...
The guy just gets it, does not he? Playing-wise, temperament-wise he is exactly what we need.
What proper teams?He had a better game Saturday but this guy is fantastically overrated on here. Wouldn't get on the bench for one of our proper teams. We need a player of his type in the MF, so he is a 'good fit' from that point of view. And yes he competes & winds up the opposition, there's even the occasional decent pass but that is very much the exception rather than the norm.
He has plenty of heart but that's about it for me. Just isn't good enough overall & the opposition supporters are not wrong in thinking that he is a potential liability discipline wise.
I'm not a fan - but it is just my opinion. Also, I might be wrong, but I don't think that I am.
We bought Hargreaves in 07/08 as well.What proper teams?
2006-07 we had Carrick and Scholes as midfielders with Fletcher as back up. Alan Smith even played few games in midfield.
2007-08: Same midfield and added Anderson
1998-99: We had Keane, Scholes, Butt and then jordi cruyff.
Herrera is better than Smith, Anderson, Jordi.
Yeah forgot about him.We bought Hargreaves in 07/08 as well.
He has had a number of injuries this season, he even picked on up in pre-season.You have to ask the question as where has he been all season?
I know he was injured during the Seville game but before that?
You are demonstrably wrong, on at least one count. Herrera has played over 150 games in the last 5 seasons and has been sent off once in that time. That liability you perceive him to be simply isn't real. Worth bearing in mind that over that time he hasn't even reached double figures for yellow cards in a season. Granit Xhaka is a potential liability discipline wise. Herrera is much more disciplined. If your perceptions of Herrera lead you to misinterpret that clear-cut fact then it seems likely your overall opinion is decidedly more negative than it should be.He had a better game Saturday but this guy is fantastically overrated on here.

Cmon Cyber, the guy dives all the time and falls over whenever he gets the slightest touch He just plays the game though, others are just as bad, it's the spanish snideness from La Liga.I don't see that. He isn't much of a diver and doesn't roll around the ground more than most?

Playing in Pogbas position. This continually gets forgotten about. It's no surprise we didn't see him at his best when he was asked to play that role.You have to ask the question as where has he been all season?

There's been a lot of hype since Saturday. I even clocked one guy saying he should play instead of Matic, ignoring that the whole reason we bought Matic was Herrera couldn't play that role.He had a better game Saturday but this guy is fantastically overrated on here.

Exactly. I made this point so many times. He played when Pogba was injured and there is no way he can play Pogba's role because of different skillset. When he plays with Pogba they play well as a team as both compliments each other. Pogba is better at passing range, dribbling and attacking in general, Herrera is very good defensively and covers lot of distance.Playing in Pogbas position. This continually gets forgotten about. It's no surprise we didn't see him at his best when he was asked to play that role.
It’s the way he plays. Breaking up play with cynical fouls, play acts occasionally and somehow gets away with it. When he was sent off v Chelsea it had been coming since day one at the club. How he didn’t get booked till last 10 mins on sat I don’t know.?If he played for someone else we’d hate him, no doubt.Again, but why? Is it the way he looks?
He’s also better than Gibson and Cleverley but nowhere near as good as Fletcher Scholes Keane or Hargreaves (top drawer players). Think Butt edges him also but arguable although I suspect if he was here the same time as Anderson, I think most United fans would have chosen Anderson over Herrera as he was a potential superstar when he came. So being better than a converted centre forward (who’s injury blighted his career) who played a big part of his career in the lower league after leaving us and a winger who was very average is not a great marker imo. We need better than Herrera who has had the last 4 years to break into the side with 3 different managers and still can’t cement a place in the 11 or manage to look convincing for me.What proper teams?

I haven't even read what you posted, my reply was to the poster saying he wouldn't have made the squad in our previous proper teams. We had inferior players playing, we didn't have 2 Keanes and 2 Scholes as options.He’s also better than Gibson and Cleverley but nowhere near as good as Fletcher Scholes Keane or Hargreaves (top drawer players). .
