When was the last time we saw any of these create a chance with a decent through-ball? Three supposed number 10's in one of the biggest clubs in the world...
People on here say loads of stupid things, but that doesn't change anythingYet other posters here tell me:
Pereira ... could play a deep midfield role where passing the ball accurately is the main jobDo my stats, at least, contradict this fanciful hope?
PS: I was an Andreas fan. By now, I've mostly given up. I can't see a role for him. Not even good enough to be a squad player for United. Not at: #6, #7, #8 nor #10. There are far better players out there earning a lot less than him. United don't move enough of their squad on each summer. A club with such a so-so squad should be bringing in at least 5 players per summer transfer window. If the transfer budget is only £100m/year Ole should bring in cheaper players. Buy more players like James, and fewer like Maguire. When you look outside the big 5 leagues there are plenty of better players than our terrible 3. Either coaching, or tactics are wrong. I think we play Pogba too deep to accommodate an attacking midfielder because the squad balance says we have players who will be good attacking midfielders. They are not good.
You are only as good as your last few games.
He makes no sense at all. But the way people used to rave about him was like he was some kind of Iniesta Xavi mix in the making.I understand Lingard starting tonight, he’s got a decent record against Arsenal and Mata and Pereira have been awful he deserves a start.
Pereira though? He’s about as average as it gets. He tries his best but he’s just not good enough. He must be the worst regular starter for any top 6 side by a mile.
Who else does he pick?Now I've had more time to dwell on Pereira and Lingard taking up the no.10 and RW spots tonight, I'm enraged. Has Solskjaer seriously been paying attention to our season so far? His team selections are so consistently bad.
Gomes as a 10, Greenwood on the right? Play Pogba as the furthest forward out of a midfield 3 and play McTominay + Matic/Fred behind him? Just something different to this set up that has failed miserably every time so far this season. We can get away playing one passenger in attack but two just fecks us up.Who else does he pick?
To be fair, picking them is again & again and expecting a different result is stupidity personified.Who else does he pick?

Sort of makes sense. We need someone who can make that impact from the bench and if we don't have Greenwood we have nobody.Greenwood can't get a start ahead of those 3 with Martial injured. Ruthless Ole trusting the youth!
All his good performances have come from him starting, all his ineffective ones have come from the bench. Greenwood has shown he's much more effective when he has a full game to make an impact. I see the point about having someone on the bench to change things, but that isn't Greenwood's style as proved so far.Sort of makes sense.

it took a while for McSauce to take off as well. I hope that is the case with Andreas.Andreas has tekkers, but he lacks pace and constantly hesitates with his decision making. There is a player in there.
I don't really agree, he's never going to be that guy who hangs on to the ball so he'll always look out of the game a bit.All his good performances have come from him starting, all his ineffective ones have come from the bench.

Yeah it's pretty obvious why he's been picked and he has had our only other decent shot on target(other than the goal).Pereira pressing is impressive though. In that regard, I can see the sense in picking him.
Lingard is just getting worse. If that's possible.
He is not very good but he plays out of position as well. Unlike many other playersAndreas has tekkers, but he lacks pace and constantly hesitates with his decision making. There is a player in there.
Hopefully this is the idea when he decides to come back from injury.Can we just play Pogba here?
