He's a flimsy player. I've seen enough.
Constantly exposed in big games playing in a 2 man midfield
He is trying to cover delli Alli son and eriksen who are all dropping in and out of his space and he is getting run around

Lost his form a couple of months ago if we're honest.
Honeymoon is over.
Compare him now to what he looked like at the start of the season and it's night and day.
Looks like he needs a rest but our midfield would be in a far worse state without him. Pogba's dissapearing act not helping him in this game either.
On the bright side, at least we know Mourinho wants to strengthen this position.

Yep, positionally he's nowhere near as good as Carrick was and he doesn't have the legs to make up for it, Spurs are breezing past him.
He's outnumbered 3 to 1. Impossible task for him today.
One of the lads in our Viber group (United fan) just called him "a shit left footed Glenn Whelan". Lol.
Same thing from the Pogba thread. People have eyes for the simple and see him making mistakes. The truth is that those 2 don't work in a double against the better teams.
He's played a number of passes when he has time straight to Tottenham players.
Is that making him pass to the opposition?
That's true, he's not been good. But we've got our tactics wrong tonight.
Him, Jones and Smalling dallying on the ball and inviting pressure sure doesn't help, that much is true, but without the ball he's asked to do the impossible tonight.
I agree.
This guy has been shocking. I don't know why he's so leggy and lethargic. He's playing like a 35 year old.
He's getting pressed without much support from his team mates. Not saying he's not responsible for his own performance, but it can't be easy playing in such a dysfunctional unit.
Well, yeah, being put under pressure by a couple of players with no team mates near you will probably result in a few more stray passes.
Don't get me wrong, he's not played well, but this outcome is entirely predictable when you look at the two lineups.
Very slow, doesn’t handle high pressure well. Which makes it strange for Mourinho to play with a midfield-2.
Played 1 game in 15 days. Caf says he needs a rest.
I think he avoids criticism on here for some bizarre reason. For me, he started well here and has been fairly average to poor for months now. You're right, he isn't suited to a midfield two with Pogba, especially against better teams.
It's the teflon thread on the Caf when it comes to criticism.
That's why I rate Carrick very highly. If we opt for a 3 man midfield his performances, in my opinion, will rise again. He's good but can't do it all alone.
But he's 29 which makes him 50 in footballer years!!
He's been pretty off form recently.
Overall a decent enough player but not much more.
Terrible today.
Terrible today.
There's a reason every coach who has managed him considers him the brain on the pitch
Anyone else irritated because this guy has only one leg. So frustrating to watch.... left left left left
He looks like he is 46.
Going on 64.
Fair to say that he’s trended to average after a very convincing start. Still a step up from the other options we have, mind, but that seems about it.
This guy has been utterly woeful since December. Burnt out.
Probably his worst game today. He was awful.
Shocking.
He has no legs anymore to run these top games alone in the midfield without a proper support. We can get with it in easy games but against any top teams with this Matic-Pogba combination our midfield will get passed out easily.

Looked absolutely dead on his feet, think Jose could have covered the pitch quicker than him today.
Did Chelsea pump him with 6 week long steroids before he joined us? looks absolutely knackered.

Terrible performance.
If it wasn't for Phil Jones' performance tonight, that would have been a strong contender for worst display this season. Horrendous.
Looks uninspired and not hungry. We need Fabinho.
He just looked so disinterested. Sloppy passes. Not sprinting to cover spaces. Weak in tackles. Positionally poor. There was a general malaise throughout the team, but for me Matic was the worst of the lot.
