My MOTM today. Seemed to have magically found his touch too.
My first post after RR was announced was that Fred would be his wet dream. He's putting consistency in and actually correcting a lot of things he was screwing up in regularly, like simple passes and positioning.Looks like Rangnick's pressing system and Fred are a match made in heaven. Was excellent again.
Just a misunderstood player. He’s genuinely been our second most important midfield player after Bruno for the last 2 years. Yeah we’ve been shit.. and we are still shit, but Fred’s been pulling his weight and killing himself for the team. Few more like him and we’d be swamping teams instead of looking like strangers every second match. Always plays on the edge and thank feck for that. We are often too lethargic and predictable otherwise. Fred gets it forward fasterTweet

The funniest part is how many "pundits" also simply wrote him off as some talent-less joke of a player, while simultaneously castigating the entire squad for a lack of work rate, desire, and energy, all which Fred has brought in spades every single time he's been called upon.Who would have thought he isnt shit when we got a proper manager. There is a reason Pep wanted him. If he went to City we would be bashing our board for not signing him.
The only crap thing in his game is his shooting. Funniest thing when we saw him lineup like he would take free kick with the othersThe funniest part is how many "pundits" also simply wrote him off as some talent-less joke of a player, while simultaneously castigating the entire squad for a lack of work rate, desire, and energy, all which Fred has brought in spades every single time he's been called upon.
He hits it quite true though. Radars well off.The only crap thing in his game is his shooting. Funniest thing when we saw him lineup like he would take free kick with the others
I think he can shoot very well. Goal against Palace was well taken. Also he had good long range shot today which I think would've concerned Krul.The only crap thing in his game is his shooting. Funniest thing when we saw him lineup like he would take free kick with the others
The recent myth that he’s suddenly become good under Rangnick is getting annoying. As you say, he’s been one of our most important players for years now.Just a misunderstood player.

Quiet first half but tried to up the tempo in the second half.
What? I thought in the 2nd half he was the one trying to get us playing quicker as we were moving the ball too slow, or should I have thought he was brilliant in the first half as well to fall in line with the bandwagon?
I think you should call a good/very good performance a good/very good performance. This is the performance thread after all.What?

I called what I saw, i didn't say he was bad in the first half but he was more effective in the second, however I'd stop short of calling any performance yesterday good if we are trying to get standards back, bar De Gea there wasn't a really good performance from a United player, we were average to poor all over the pitch yesterday.I think you should call a good/very good performance a good/very good performance.

I can't agree with this, whatsoever. I thought yesterday was one of Freds best games for us, not only was he excellent at his usual stuff but he was also very silky on the ball and helped us create chances and progress the ball on multiple occasions.I called what I saw, i didn't say he was bad in the first half but he was more effective in the second, however I'd stop short of calling any performance yesterday good if we are trying to get standards back, bar De Gea there wasn't a really good performance from a United player, we were average to poor all over the pitch yesterday.
Fred's always much better in the 2nd half, yesterday was no exception.I think you should call a good/very good performance a good/very good performance. This is the performance thread after all.
Standards back is a fallacy. I think you can still be good without the barometer having to be something set 20 years ago?I called what I saw, i didn't say he was bad in the first half but he was more effective in the second, however I'd stop short of calling any performance yesterday good if we are trying to get standards back, bar De Gea there wasn't a really good performance from a United player, we were average to poor all over the pitch yesterday.
It was an exception in that he was also good in the first half.Fred's always much better in the 2nd half, yesterday was no exception.
