Good Prem player to compliment your World Class one. He's for me is Scott in a West Ham shirt but Scott will score more goals.....
Isn't that some serious overrating of McTominay? I mean, nobody except for United fans are really seeing a great player watching him, United fans know his story, like his character, whatsoever but if nobody else is raving that at least indicates something. We could also use the Fred-Evaluation-Method from his Performances thread: where is McTominay really good at?
His passing is solid to good mostly not very adventurous.
His shooting seems fine to very good occasionally but these occasions are rare.
His dribbling is alright some times.
His 1st touch is ok.
His workrate is good to very good but not on the same level of Kante or Fred.
His defensive positioning is so and so, mostly ok.
You get the picture. I have no intention at all in suggesting he is an issue for us. He is a very valuable to player to have but as of now he nothing more than that. Sure - if somebody has the right attitude to become more than that it is Scott but right now, he isn't there yet. He being asked to play closer to goal makes me chuckle once in a while. His 4 goals in the PL are scored against Leeds in the 2nd and 3rd minute (when Leeds was setup perfectly to be hurt by us). He scored in the 9:0 against So'ton and a header after a set piece against Everton. So its not like he is buzzing or something. I think, there will always be a spot in the squad for him, but I have no idea at all, which position he could nail down.
I think Rice is overrated a tad as well but at least not only by United fans.
