He needs to be selectively played and not play every game. Him vs Burnley at home is pointless.
On current form there aren't many games he should be starting.He needs to be selectively played and not play every game. Him vs Burnley at home is pointless.
Frexit?Fred is now known as Frex
His job is to close down, tackle, win the ball and give it. Not to shoot, dribble or be creative. Never understood why he gets criticised for anything else? That's like saying Bruno doesnt tackle enough or Pogs doesn't score enough headers.Industrious again but I’d really like to see Fred develop quality in the final third, other than being a decoy striker on free kicks.
He’s a midfielder. His job is to build play. He can’t do it.Didn't his job, did others do theirs?
A poor analogy, but I appreciate what you were trying to argue. Fred isn’t really a destroyer, is he?His job is to close down, tackle, win the ball and give it. Not to shoot, dribble or be creative.

Everyone knows that he is not going to take it. So he is not even a decoy.Industrious again but I’d really like to see Fred develop quality in the final third, other than being a decoy striker on free kicks.
No, he us not an effective decoy on free kicks. But I’d still like to see him develop something of a passing nous in the last third. I understand the objection that that would be asking too much of him, but I’d still like to see Fred improve his game in this regard. Or at least work on it.Everyone knows that he is not going to take it. So he is not even a decoy.
Fred might...90% pass completion rate… blah blah.
i don’t think tonight is the night to lay into any of our players.
… although I do want to know why he lines up to take free kicks. The idea is that it’s meant to provide a credible alternative to the actual taker - no one thinks Fred is ever taking the free kick!
maybe one day he will pop one innthe corner Perhaps this is just the long game he’s playing and he’s waiting for a free kick in the last min of a CL final!Fred might...
He got to try it once. Terrible, but nice of the others to once in a while, when the game is well and truly won, let him waste some time by fluffing it into row z.maybe one day he will pop one innthe corner Perhaps this is just the long game he’s playing and he’s waiting for a free kick in the last min of a CL final!
It was poor communication all round. Either our entire defence shifts or Fred fills in the gap since Scotty McT was helping wide. Our defence seemed caught between the two options.Seemed to get a bit of criticism for their second goal from Scholes and Hargreaves. While I agree he should of tracked the runner, I think others were more to blame.
AWB lost possession further up the pitch and Mctominnay should of got back and covered his position. He didn't though which resulted in Lindelof being pulled to RB which then ultimately left the gap in the centre of defence.
I know Fred isn't a world beater and has his own limitations and was partially to blame for the goal. But I think it's unfair that he's used as a scapegoat when others were more to blame in my opinion
He is like this every game, always a very poor first half and a stronger second half. It really is bizzare.I thought he was really bad first half
But much better and actually good second half
Fred does, he seems the optimistic type.90% pass completion rate… blah blah.

Because we have eyes and see him shooting every game.Not sure why people think Fred can't take a good free kick?
I swear he's got previous at Shaktar and from the way he passes the ball, with his flat feet, you can just tell he will have decent technique with his instep.
Let's not forget Hargreaves over certain distances/positions on the pitch was our best free kicker taker (even if he didn't take many).
I'd like to see Fred take more personally.
Yeah I was always wondering why he stood there when his shots from outside the box are so bad. Then I watched his highlights in Shaktar and be took free kicks and scored some nice curlers from outside the box. Explained why he's always trying itNot sure why people think Fred can't take a good free kick?
