Those are literally his main strengthsInitial impressions aren't great, struggles to hold the ball under pressure and his passing doesn't seem great.

The lad has played only 2 game. Come on!Im not really sure what his role will be;
Is he a destroyer - NO
Is he a playmaker - NO
Can he dictate tempo - NO
Does he shield well - NO
I suppose only time will tell.
I haven't seen him during his Shaktar days but from the two matches this season, he has struggled in those two aspects for me. Like I said, as I don't have prior knowledge of him, I can't judge him until the season passes.Those are literally his main strengths
He's a typical Jack (Wilshere) of all trades. He has strengths and weaknesses but he doesn't excel at something in particular. But this type of player is a very useful one to have if you play a midfield three. He's an upgrade on Herrera in most aspects for example.Kind of plays like Jack Wilshere doesn't he. Some nice dribbles through park sometimes, some decent passing sometimes. Loses the ball too much and falls over a lot.
What match were you watching. He was awful.Even not at his best and without a proper preseason yet he was our best player in that second half.
Was he? I like Fred, but I thought he had a poor gameEven not at his best and without a proper preseason yet he was our best player in that second half.
He had a poor game alright but in terms of being the best out of bad bunch I think he was in that second half? I can't think of anyone besides him who did not hide and actually tried forcing the issue.Was he? I like Fred, but I thought he had a poor game
Pogba springs to mind. Although I didn't have a best of a bad bunch, they were all poor. Fred cost us a goal as wellHe had a poor game alright but in terms of being the best out of bad bunch I think he was in that second half?

Thought the best out of the bunch was Shaw imo.He had a poor game alright but in terms of being the best out of bad bunch I think he was in that second half? I can't think of anyone besides him who did not hide and actually tried forcing the issue.
De Gea and Bailly cost us that goal. Ridiculous pass to make and shocking defending to compound it.Pogba springs to mind. Although I didn't have a best of a bad bunch, they were all poor. Fred cost us a goal as well
To be honest assigning him any kind of blame for that second goal is a stretch imo he was set up to fail with that pass from his teammate (Victor?), it was at an inconvenient height given his size and being pressed by two players too. Also, I was talking second half only as I don't think he was anything special in the 1st half.Pogba springs to mind. Although I didn't have a best of a bad bunch, they were all poor. Fred cost us a goal as well
Yep.De Gea and Bailly cost us that goal. Ridiculous pass to make and shocking defending to compound it.
Yeah Shaw is a good shout he didn't do too much wrong.Thought the best out of the bunch was Shaw imo.
He had a pretty poor game overall and struggled with the physicality of such games. His quality is obvious but he'll need a good time to settle and grow some more muscles a little bit.
I think he needs to play alongside someone like Jorginho. We actually need an upgrade on Matic.Think the team needed a Jorginho like calm and composed cerebral passer instead we got this all action midfielder. Think he'll find his feet once he settles in, but I think we added the wrong type of midfielder.
Agreed. Raw to the point of looking a bit mental.Looks like the midfield equivalent of Bailly to me.
