Goal started with him playing a poor pass. In fairness he shouldn't be holding in midfield by himself, it restricts him and he doesn't have the passing range but Van Gaal is an idiot. Carrick has been badly missed.

 

[Dobbs]

Played in the wrong potion again but it's a skill to go missing like this.

Get involved man!

 

[Steven Seagull]

Strolling again.

 

[Baxter]

He's not a defensive midfielder and it's weird Van Gaal thinks he is.

 

[Kevin]

A horrific signing.

 

[Sparky_Hughes]

Hadn't even realised he was playing

 

[Ryan7]

He's not a defensive midfielder and it's weird Van Gaal thinks he is.

What is he then? Not being sarcastic, I didn't see a great deal of him at Southampton.

 

[BringNaniBack]

He is one of the worst midfielders we have ever had IMO. He is completely anonymous in most games and when he does do something its usually poor. He has been invisible in the first half of the West Ham game other than helping leave us open at the back for their first goal.

 

[BringNaniBack]

It is a skill isn't it. You literally have to search for him on the pitch or you forget he is playing. He is totally useless.

 

[Redo91]

Most of the Caf wanted him here and were ecstatic with the signing.

He does nothing in most corner/freekick situations to the point where he is useless to have in the box.

Well I was in the minority then. I never wanted him in he first place. Ok for a squad member but we way over paid for him.

 

[RedPed]

Go back a few pages to when I said he was shit and got slated by a few people who even got a bit personal. I still stand by it now. He's always been shit!

 

[Barca84]

Wandering around the pitch like an escapee from an alzheimers unit

 

[VorZakone]

Really didn't expect him to be this shit. Still though, give him a chance under a new manager.

 

[JPRouve]

What is he then? Not being sarcastic, I didn't see a great deal of him at Southampton.

He was a box to box, now he is a useless player.

Completely agree. He's so far off in his passing game it's just unreal he managed to get himself into a club like ours. He's even nervous making a 5 meter pass. This is a huge mistake and we need to sell him as soon as possible and stop being stupid. Absolute maniac the way he behaves at times with the ball.

 

[Attila]

£24m for this guy....so much wasted money under van gaal

 

[arthurka]

Terrible game from him..

 

[Sepukku]

Probably our worst buy post-fergie. Absolutely rubbish. I'd sell him now without thinking twice. Anything over 10 million would do.

 

[Woodenlung]

One of the best central midfielders in the league for at least two years before we signed him. Started off well before taking a nose dive a few months in. I'd keep him and sack off the staff who seem to do a good job of getting the worst out of the players.

 

[El Zoido]

Had a bad game, I don't accept that he's a bad player.

 

[Beachryan]

Didn't see it - was he that bad?

 

[JPRouve]

Didn't see it - was he that bad?

He was as bad as usual and at our midfield standard. So, no he wasn't that bad.

 

[Baxter]

What is he then? Not being sarcastic, I didn't see a great deal of him at Southampton.

He never played at the base of the midfield. He was more of a box to box

 

[DWelbz19]

He was that bad, because our midfield standard is that bad.

 

[Black Adder]

Just another player in long line of many underperforming players which don't play even close to their true potential since LVG took over.

 

[Mr.Kaya]

Wandering around the pitch like an escapee from an alzheimers unit

This described his 1st half performance perfect. It was absolutly shocking to watch him in that midfield. Out of position all the time, lost the ball whenever he had it, struggled with simple passes and didn't even care to run home when caught out of positioning. That pissed me of the most. Fecking terrible. At least TRY Schneiderlin - YOU can better than this! He really has something to prove if he wants to stay at this club.

 

[Mike09]

Some people say: He is not defensive midfielder.
Some people say: He should play defensive midfield alongside Herrera.

I say: He is just an average midfielder and most disappointing LVG signing as I had a high hope on him when we signed him. Can't pass the ball and can't defend. The goal today sums up everything. Giving the ball away (can't pass the ball) and did a poor defending on Lazini and allowed him to make a cross (can't defend).
It's not surprising me at all why LVG prefers 35 years old Carrick as a holding midfielder and Fellaini who has the same weakness as Schneiderlin but at least offer some danger.

 

[mu77]

gone backwards under LVG

 

[Eddy_JukeZ]

Get rid in the summer.

Tired of players who are mentally weak. He was hiding in the 1st half out there and cba for the 1st goal they scored.

 

[Ryan7]

He never played at the base of the midfield. He was more of a box to box

He was a box to box, now he is a useless player.

Thanks. I didn't realise.

 

[Sied]

I said it in the match day thread in the first half - I wish we'd signed Vidal over Schneiderlin. The more I think about it, the more problems I think he'd solve for us. Physicality, bite, energy, passion, aerial ability... Admittedly mostly things I thought Schneiderlin would bring to the table too but without the injury risk. Looks like I was mistaken.

 

[::sonny::]

I was a far better footballer than him.

In all honesty he could only clean my shoes.

 

[Hed Zitin]

He's been nowhere near the player he was at Saint. Not even close. He's came here and froze.

I saw him charging around, winning tackles left and right and spraying passes last season.

 

[legball]

He's been mediocre and I'm being very kind.

 

[OnlyTwoDaSilvas]

Defended him for most of the season. We looked much better when he was replaced. But still shit.

 

[Ballache]

He's been nowhere near the player he was at Saint. Not even close. He's came here and froze.

I saw him charging around, winning tackles left and right and spraying passes last season.

That's the weird part, what happened to him? I do agree that he's not a 6 but feck me...he can't even pass the ball anymore.

 

[LuisNaniencia]

Let's be honest we all wanted to sign this guy. What on earth has happened to him.

Pathetic for their first goal.

 

[Maradona10]

He is not a bad player, LVG tactics make him look bad. He is too restricted and cant play his game like herrera.

 

[Speak]

I feel disappointed in myself for believing he was going to be a brilliant signing.
He's really quite poor.

 

[Devil may care]

He looks out of his depth to me.
