The backlash on these two guys is pretty demanding considering Fred starts in midfield for Brazil and Scott starts for Scotland.

Fred has been starting for Brazil over Fabinho in the Copa America.
Have we not learned that the players international managers select is irrelevant? McT also wasn't starting CM.

One of these is not like the other.

Also the problem is there's no balance in the McFred midfield. Either of them would be alright if there was another midfield anchorman doing the playmaking and allowing them to roam. Both like to press while neither of them have good positional discipline or passing skills.

Agreed. And they do not have good close control. They do not complement each other.

Technically that's true of both.
