He’s still diabolical, even if he did score.
Well jinxed lads, keep up the good work.
Edit: He's still shite.
Well done lads!
feck me, I can do jinxes too!
In before some comment how he's had a good game apart from goal too, and are surprised that is criticised.
Play it again, Samid
He’s great when we don’t have the ball, just doesn’t have any of the skill set to really assist us when we do have it. His passing is limited and lacks creativity, his shooting is far below average and his decision making with the ball is poor, which manifests itself through lots of 0-2% shots.
Calm down Karen. Nobody actually hates him. He's just not a very good footballer.
And you guys are experienced posters like. Ffs!
If you throw enough shit some of it's bound to stick.
He’s still rubbish.
Got nothing against the bloke personally though, and he works. I can respect that. He’s just not very good.

He's not exactly Xavi but looking out for posters who call him shite is a pretty good way to spot those who don't know much about football.
hahaha
He wouldn’t get into any other team in the PL and all that other tripe. I’m a fred fan he was poor in the first, much better in the second. I’ve been quite tough on Pogba but Pogba has been brilliant in this half. mooooore!!!
Did exactly what I was hoping he can do - if hes not going to be a resolute defensive DM, be more effective going forward and get the occasional goal similar to McTominay. Obviously its only 1, but he did really well in that move and hopefully he gets another 2 in the next months and it becomes part of his routine
Shown a lot of character tbf to him
Thought he was good second half tbf to him.
Excellent today. Absolutely everywhere second half.
Fred and Pogba were most involved during 2nd half
Fred is ace.
His second half performance is similar to lots of games where you’d be in here arguing after for the whole night. Only difference is a nice goal. He’s a very good player. His engine is essential to the way we play.
Haters will hate. 1st half they were all shite, but the focus is always on Fred forensically looking at every aspect of his game. Second half played really well, scored and yet the focus is still on the negative. So called Fan's eh.....
Really improved after the goal. Just needs to give the ball to those who can play and not think he’s Socrates
As usual, good energy and ball winning but needs to improve with the ball
He was much better in possession in the second half. What helped was the constant movement around him so he didn't need to hold onto the ball too long. He was able to give and go all half long.
As long as he stop doing long passing and long shots, he is always needed in big games. Why? No one does it better when we are out of possession. Not even in form Pogba will go on CM as we will get overrun very easily. You cant replace him with anyone in the squad even though he is shit in passing the ball...
Fred clearly gets the Mick taken out of him by his teammates. McT laughed at him getting in the box and scoring during the post match.
I thought we looked a much better attacking side once Rashford came off. We were pedestrian trying to play him in while he was on. Same as the rest of the recent performances too many touches and whatever slowing us down. He doesn’t look fit and you can only play with what’s in front of you. Once the forwards finally came alive it makes the midfield look an awful lot better
Yeah he doesn't look fit at all, but he's still scoring and assisting.
Excellent game today. I can’t recall him making a mistake
This. There are elements of the game that he looks shaky doing, but what he does bring is so great. He is a big part of why we are able to chase teams and turn games around. He is relentless.
Seems a popular character. Twas funny the way Bruno shoved him over during the celebration.
Was good second half.
But I agree with Roy Keane. He isn't a good Midfielder.

Ole needs to have some balls and give him a rest. We’ve got other players as we saw when Mason came on. All the stuff I’ve been calling for pressure through the middle, balls in behind and hitting early percentage crosses into the danger area. I don’t think we can do enough of that with an unfit Rashford. We become too slow/predictable or he totally wastes possession.
aaaaanyway. Woohooo lovely midfield performance. Super impressed with the fight and skill! Gwan the lads!
To me Fred is a midfield version of Nani. He's not consistent with the ball and he will frustrate you but in the same match he will also show why he's starting matches for us.
His goal started with his move and slick passing. He just needs to do that more often a be more consistent.
But we have to buy a proper defensive midfielder because to me Scott and Fred are very similar they are both better when they're in the offensive third.

I'm with Keane, his passing was really poor.
Anything beyond basic was a struggle today.
Except for when he turned into Messi for a moment.

Yeah been saying the same for a while. The lad needs a rest, you can see what he's about in spurts when he plays but he's looked so so uncomfortable on the pitch the last few months.Ole needs to have some balls and give him a rest.

I'm not his biggest fan but he was superb in the second half. His goal gave him that extra confidence. He was almost like a brand new player.
