Looked drunk on occasions with his dribbling at times, but got the crucial goal.
Yeah. I don't understand critism.
Yeah. I don't get the critism. For this game complaining he doesn't deliver then he scores a goal to kill the game then some say he should be bench player? It is unusual unless there are paid trolls here?
Its amazing how Miki can easily mask a poor outing with a big time play. He did in the Europa League final aswell after having a shocker in the first half before biking it to make it 2-0 after half time.
At the end of the day, the goal is all that matters

It was annoying because he had 2/3 crucial chances to create a 1v1 or score himself in the first half when it could've been much easier for us. Wasn't too bad in the last 15 minutes of the game though, kept trying.
Last season we were 'playing well' but couldn't put the ball in the back of the net. Now they're calling to drop the most productive player in the league.
Again over the course of the game he was dire, but he got a goal so we role on.
We need way more over 90 mins than him and Mata are offering. They should be contributing in the final third far more often. They make us less exciting because of it.

Outside of the goal it was a thoroughly frustrating performance. Over dribbling, missing through ball chances etc. I guess the brightside is that we're most likely to get Griezmann in that role next season.
Nice goal but won't cover his absolute shite performance and selfishness today.
The major problem I have with him is how long he takes to release the ball. It's infuriating.
Not just the final, but the entire europa run, he has had games like this but still managed to score and drag us to the final.
Mourinho keeps playing him, could easily bench him for Lingard or Martial. I think he could do with a break here and there, but generally should play. Good player and it is a game of numbers. If Mkhi can score 10 and assist 15 goals this season, fantastic.
Glad he scored a goal, but his overall performance was awful. He really needs to learn to release the ball earlier.
Whats the bright side to 1 goal and 6 assists in 7 games? How many players could actually rack those numbers up?
I really dont get the criticism from some. It was literally the opposite last season where we struggled for productivity. This season, our No. 10 is doing exactly what we have missed for, god knows, how long and its frowned upon??
He's a magician, first he masters invisibility and then pulls a Rabbit out of his hat!
Mike shuts you guys. Calling absolute shit performance is stupid, really.
Called it.
7.96 rating on who scored. Can somebody post his passing and other details to witness that absolute, horrible performance?
Hopefully he gets a rest in the league cup, think he needs it
I feel like mata and mlkhitarayn get in each other's way - Mhikitarayan becomes much better when mata leaves for the bench. Saying that; mlkhitarayn when he starts by himself doesn't control the game in the final third for us like mata does.
Both great players but I don't feel they help each other out & they would be absolutely wonderful if they were one player.
It's the one difference between us and some of the other top clubs in the PL; we lack a single playmaker that can do the job of both mata and mlkhitarayn in de bruyne, eriksen, silva etc.

This guy is probably more inconsistent than Nani, trying to nutmeg someone near our own penalty box is plain stupidity
I don't get the criticism. He has 5 assists and 1 goal already, ffs.
The no.10 position is the hardest position on the field. There should be room for some silly mistakes, as long as chances, assists and goals keep rolling in.

5 assists and 1 goal
But I agree he is producing. Personally I think there is room for improvement in a couple of areas. First off that he seems to have a habit of letting the ball run when it's passed to him only to then get shrugged off the ball too easily, and secondly is lingering on the ball too long when he needs to make a decision and execute quicker. He is very much like all our attackers at the moment phasing in and out of the game at various moments. But such is the quality in that when he's switched on, he is putting numbers up.
In the attacking third hes our best player but occasionally he does risky stuff in the wrong areas. A poorer game today but he tries high risk high reward stuff, so hes bound to frustrate. If he continues his current stats all season he'll be a potential poty though. Brilliant start to the season.
Gives the ball away far too easily at times, I wish Mourinho would get him to release the ball earlier in our half of the field.
Keeps running into defenders or even groups of defenders. Often instead of an obvious attacking pass.
If he sorts that out he could be a really great player to watch, because he clearly has ability.

Hate to pick on him again but with a bit more decisiveness he can be so much better , just doesn't release the ball fast enough so many times
I think he'll get it right eventually and at least he is producing, this time last year he couldn't even get in the starting XI.
1 goal and 5 assists in 7 games is not bad at all for a player who has apparently been shit.
Think I'm okay with him playing "shit" for the rest of the season as long as his output is this level.
Sometimes he held on to ball rather than passing and lost possession but his ability to turn simple passes into counter attacks is very good. Shame about his final passes.
His first touch has been quite poor lately and he is always over dribbling and losing the ball instead of playing the pass. He needs to get his head up more often and unleash the killer ball. If he did that he would have more assists than he already does.
I agree with this.
Typical Mkhi performance.
This is the norm for him.
Can't complain with that production though.

Wastefully productive.
I don't recall one game this season where he's actually played that well, but his goal scoring and assisting stats are fantastic.
He hasnt had more than 5 matches for us where he played well over 90 mins, always one or two moments of class where he produces. I feel quite awkward about that. On one hand it is good, on the other hand, well feck.
Playing absolutely horribly but scoring and assisting. Strange player
For a player I don't like, he is really impressed me today. Funny people complaining about a 10 being dispossessed. If he is not getting dispossessed it'll mean he is not getting into dangerous enough areas or trying to make game deciding passes.
All the things people are complaining about would have been an issue if he was a CM.

I want players who are productive and contributing to goals scored.
So far his wastefulness hasn't cost us anything in terms of points, and his productivity last season arguably got us in the CL.
As others say, it's weird. He's also weirdly entertaining and frustrating. Can't argue with what he's putting on paper though. His numbers are helping us maintain top spot (joint for now).
