Will bet on him to score in the next couple of gamesImagine this cnut could score goals???
Whaa?Players that love performing when it matters most are invaluable. Not a long term starter but he's proving himself to be a worthy backup
It actually isExcellent again. His workrate is Kante esqe
Thing is he wasn’t even that bad - he had performances like this but then spoiled them with giving the ball away and costing us a goal or a chance against us.Player of the season so far, no doubt about it.
I suspect he will never get the credit he deserves because of the horrible first season he had with us. First impression are so important. Our fanbase will love and rate him though, and the more important anyway.
Why do you have to throw in the i'm not a fan of James? This is a Fred thread.Completely won me over, didn't think he would and feel ashamed of my low opinion on him.
I'm not a fan of Daniel James but given the improvement in Fred I'm going to cut him some slack and hopefully he will improve his general play.
This is very true. He was absolutely terrific away at Arsenal last year, for example, but his whole performance was overshadowed by giving away quite an unfortunate penalty. It was obvious from that match that he’d be a quality player if given time and a run of games.Thing is he wasn’t even that bad - he had performances like this but then spoiled them with giving the ball away and costing us a goal or a chance against us.
he’s obviously improved since the first year but he was never as awful as people made out. Mourinho killed his confidence, where as Ole has clearly empowered him it’s great to see.
he’s also now played well with Matić and mctominay, so it just shows he wasn’t carried by Scott.
They are similar as they seem to come alive in big matches but Herrera scored some very crucial goals, often vs big teams. He had that knack of being in right place at the right time to score or create, Fred doesn't have that imo.Everything Herrera had, niggly nasty feck, works his ass off, just with added quality on the ball.
Herrera turned out to be a crock at PSG.@Bwuk would you still take Herrera over him any day of the week?
Yeah I agree with this, singing Bruno (so far after 2 games) and Fred's emergence this season are really helping us. With Mctominay in there could dominate a lot of midfields.Took a bit of a time but our midfield looking quite good now IMO, and largely down to him.
Rashford Martial ???
Bruno Fred McTominay
Shaw Maguire Bailly AWB
DDG
Greenwood
James Pereira ???
Garner Matic
Williams Tuanzebe Lindelof Dalot
Romero
Basically get Garner to learn from Fred, Matic rotate with McTominay when needed and be a squad option, Pereira be backup for Fernandes (rotating that role with Mata). Fred emerging as he has this season easily makes him the #6 of choice going forward, and I can see that 3 be our main 3 next season. Signing someone like Sancho for the right wing would be absolutely brilliant, but we'll see. For Fred though, developing into that deep lying playmaker role that also bursts forward when needed is going to be a perfect compliment long term to McTominay and Bruno IMO.
He said he didn’t want Fred.Credits to Mou for this one. We have not had such a player from a very long time.
