If their passing was below average they wouldn't be anywhere near Manchester United.

Greenwood is a very good passer of the ball. In fact, quite a few of the kids are. Though I guess some of them haven't shown it as much in the first team, hence the "what I've seen".

This isnt a factual comment and you knowit.

Fans get so used to critcizing their own players they forget that even a player like Phil Jones would absolutely destroy every single person on this forum 1 on 1.

 

[Skills]

Shaws a better passer than a lot of those guys.

 

[SoCross]

Shaws a better passer than a lot of those guys.

Agreed. His passing is underrated.

Yep and in stride too, best not mention his right-foot though.

Yeah well we're not talking about people on this forum, we're talking about professional footballers in the EPL and in that league, Phil Jones isn't beating anyone 1 on 1 without pulling a hamstring or tearing a ligament. Stop being so sensitive and butt hurt all the time Tom Cato; it's a thread rating passers from best to worst so someone's bound to come last but, as usual, Tom Cato wants to give everyone trophy for showing up.

 

[Aouer-United]

Mctominay is not even better than Martial and Lindelof you mentioned when it comes to passing, I feel like Mctominay is very limited with his passing and he's very one-footed.

 

[jamesjimmybyrondean]

Mctominay is not even better than Martial and Lindelof you mentioned when it comes to passing, I feel like Mctominay is very limited with his passing and he's very one-footed.

It's my opinion really not facts. I think Mctominay this season has really improved his passing and Lindelof's is overrated and Martial's is underrated

 

[Trex]

Pogba
Bruno
Mata
Greenwood
Martial
Rashford
Maguire
Fred
Matic
Lindelof
Shaw
Am a big mctominay fan but passing is not one of his strength

He obviously meant average passing for premier league players. On that scale, players in relegation level teams are generally below average, and those in title contending teams are generally above average.

Kindly be guided.

The level of the team is clearly a reflection of the level of its players. Do you dispute this?

As some have said Shaw is very underrated

And Mata is overrated by comparison

You Bailly biggest fan or what?

Yeah but what's that got to do with passing?

You could have the best 11 passers of the ball on the planet in your team, but if they didn't have the stamina to get up and down the pitch for 90+ minutes, and no great level of game-understanding they'd be a piss-poor team, no?

The only thing that's got me is that you picked 9 players.

What an incredibly arbitrary number. Not 10, (I.E. all outfield players), not including goalkeepers or squad players.

A best of nine passers and for some reason my brain is exploding at the thought

And you didn't bother with Rashford. And - LSJHFdegf my brain, arrghhhhhhhh

I said what I initially said in the context of what you initially said, which was that if they were below average they wouldn't be anywhere near utd.

Going by what you have just posted, it's clear they could be at utd, despite having relatively poor passing ability, for other reasons such as being good defensively, possessing extraordinary pace and/or dribbling or having other traits. No?

Erm, no

 

[SpyLuke10]

Pogba has the best passing range. But Bruno is the best at playing through balls.

If I want a medium-long range curling through ball then Pogba. If I want a quick long range switch then Pogba. If I want quick one touch passing and then a wonderful chipped through ball through to Martial, then Bruno. If anyone at United is crossing, I'd want it to be Bruno, but then again I'd want Pogba to be at the end of it, he's a good header of the ball.

 

[Grande]

You Bailly biggest fan or what?

I love him when he’s in The Zone, I fear him when he’s not, I never really know from minute to minuteif he is or not. He does have a knack of hitting ambitious ball out of defence and hitting our guy, but notice that he’s not on my‘safe passing’ list, which really is preferable for a CB when push comes to shove.

 

[Utdstar01]

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned it but Williams actually has very good passing. Definitely isn't below average and i'd say he's a better passer than Lindelof.

[MyOnlySolskjaer]

I like Bruno's vision but sometimes his execution doesn't match that. I don't think he's better than Mata in terms of accuracy of passing. If we combine vision with execution I'd go with the below.

Pogba
Mata
Fernandes
Maguire

In what way is 5th in the premier league average?

Average is a very large band between the best and the worst. That's how I see.

 

[Yagami]

Not that I think he's the best in the squad, but I think Rashford's a very good passer. Like Rooney, he's pretty consistent at spreading the ball out to the right wing when he comes deep for the ball. Pretty much always finds his man. Also, he's shown he has an eye for a killer pass to unlock a defence, though those aren't as consistent.

It looks pretty basic, but one of my favourite passes this season was away to City on the break to Dan James I think it was. In general, I think his weight of passing is very good.

 

[thepolice123]

Strange to see Maguire mentioned, I think he is by far our best ball carrying defender but his passing is decent to average.

You couldn't be more wrong with his passing ablity and very strange to compare him with Rooney. By the way I don't particularly rate Rooney that highly myself...

I have no doubt he delivered some nice crossfield passes as do most footballers but he is nowhere near good enough to do this consistently as you have described

Well, you don't rate Rooney, so I guess it's best we leave it there.

Theres a difference between I don't rate Rooney and I don't rate him as highly as you do.

I'd even say Rooney would be insulted to compare his passing ability to Rashford especially his famous crossfield pass
