They came alive in the 2nd half
Why you making this thread during our game v Milan? Which we won.The likes of KdB-Gundogan, Kovacic-Kante, Ndidi-Tielemans isn’t even a debate, but I genuinely would rather have the likes of Rice-Soucek or Xhaka-Partey in our midfield than McFred. They make us lose so much attacking impetus for the benefit of slightly more defensive stability.
I rate both players individually (I started the Fred was value for money thread!), but they are frankly shit together. Their limitations on the ball stifle us so much in our build up play.
We desperately need a new midfield 2 this summer if we are to challenge for the title next season. Pogba and a new DM.
Imagine the scenes if we had those twoSoucek and Rice.
We probably would with Evertons instead of McTominay and Fred yes. Our keeper, defence, Bruno, Pogba, Rashford etc etc are all much better than what Everton haveNope, but i'm fairly sure you'd need a reasonable midfield to be up there, i'd say its a fairly good barometer for a team's standard. Maybe you're right though and we should consider a straight-swap for another midfield, given that its the worst CM pairing of the top 10 teams in the PL. Perhaps we'd be closer to City playing with Villa or Everton's CM.
Thread creation should be turned off during the match and aftermath. It would help caftards resist the temptation to turn their knee-jerk nonsense posts into entire threads.I don't rate either massively, especially Fred, but this thread is embarrassing and daft. These knee-jerk threads made during games are often a proper mess.
