Jose "doesnt give youth a chance" Mourinho.

Jose "doesnt give youth a chance" Mourinho.

I think he planned to drop Pogba after Wednesday anyway and intended to give McTominay a game but on a weekend when Pep rather leave a bench spot empty than give an u23 player a bit of experience around the first team, his comments about giving Scott a game because he’s an academy player and has been here since he was 9 were perfectly calculated.

 

[Denis79]

Its a home game against the 17th ranked team.

Usually very tough games vs teams that fight relegation.

 

[TheSpaceman]

Hard to believe he wasn't concussed from that hit. Glad to see he's back on the field but hopefully no long term repercussions from that for him

 

[BarstoolProphet]

Not impressed so far. The ball moves so slowly at his feet.

 

[R.N7]

He’s done well in the first half, especially considering those challenges on him.

 

[Bwuk]

He's been better than Matic who has made some poor decisions on the ball.

 

[El Jefe]

Plays because he's 6'4. Other than that I can't see why he's a first team player.

 

[Pace Abuser]

Please just get Pogba on. You know you're rubbish when even Smalling starts to bypass you and just give it to Valencia directly.

 

[7even]

So far not ready. Slow and to predictable. Sub him before this gets ugly.

 

[All 3 United]

Think he’s had a decent half

 

[Jazz]

The little lad has not been bad. Hope he keeps it up. Must have been so nervous starting today. Bless

 

[Jagga7]

We don't need both him and Matic playing against Huddersfield town.

 

[Jazz]

So far not ready. Slow and to predictable. Sub him before this gets ugly.

He's not ready yes, but the manager has put him there and he's not been bad. Doing what he can with his ability, which is all you can ask of him really.

 

[Classical Mechanic]

A brick wall could have produced the same performance.

Our most involved player this half. Most touches and passes of any player on the pitch. Should also have been given a penalty (and a red card for Kongolo).

Surprising from a brick wall and a player «bypassed by even Smalling».

 

[Wednesday at Stoke]

Can we sell him to Aston Villa at half time?

 

[Hugh Jass]

Has not been bad but plays it too safe on occasion.

 

[Hoof the ball]

He passes forward when he has the ball at every opportunity. He's reticent to pass sideways or backwards. That is significant, because aside from Pogba, no other midfielder of ours likes passing forward unless it's a 100% percentage ball.

 

[villain]

He's done his best, but it's just not good enough.

 

[Beagle]

He must've been instructed to never play a forward pass. Only rolls the ball to Valencia or recycles off the defenders.

 

[Pace Abuser]

Our most involved player this half. Most touches and passes of any player on the pitch. Should also have been given a penalty (and a red card for Kongolo).

99 percent of them passes went to Valencia, before he ran off and hid.

 

[Isotope]

Decent first half. Battled hard, and made himself available. He doesn't look out of place. He's progressing nicely this season.

 

[An Irish Red]

He just passes the ball to whoever happens to be beside him at the time. Tom Cleverley on stilts.

 

[Mister_Stubbs]

I want to see as many as youth players get opportunities as possible.. but only if they are good enough and deserving of them. He never pulled up any trees in the reserves and has done nothing to suggest he deserves to keep his place in and around the first team. He is the new Darron Gibson, without the worldies.

 

[J-Stander]

He looks like your bog standard 6 foot 2 midfielder playing open age local football on a Sunday. Crap.

 

[AgentP]

He has been decent. But we need Pogba now. We don't need two defensive midfielders against a team that sits deep.

Kick a ball at a brick wall and it comes straight back at you. Any player can do what he has done today when the other side is camped in their half. He needs to do more to play for Man Utd.

 

[Based Adnan]

Done well, probably played the most forward passes on our team so not sure what game people are watching. Should have had a penalty as well.

 

[Litch]

Limited and if he represents our future, God help us. The lads there simply cause of his size and absolutely nothing else. If he was 5' 9 would be no where near the first team much less starting.

 

[Dante]

He's made more passes than anyone else on the pitch: 56.

Of those, 40 have been forward passes. Very impressive stats.

 

[Kazi]

He’s so bad man lol

 

[AltiUn]

He's made more passes than anyone else on the: 56.

Of those, 40 have been forward passes. Very impressive stats.

He's been way too safe with every single one though, not impressive really.

He's playing behind every single Huddersfield player on the pitch!

But would the team mates trust «a brick wall»? And what instructions do you think Mourinho gave McTominay today? I would probably guess play safe and pass and move.

 

[Isotope]

His job is not there to make "creative" passes.

 

[dannyrhinos89]

Will be in the championship in a couple of years. Nowhere near good enough he doesn’t do anything that stands out.

 

[Dante]

There are a lot of people who pre-judge based on his nationality and what videogames tell them.

McTominay's a very progressive player.

What's revealing is the number of posters who bring up his size. The kid might well be tall, but he's a streak of piss right now. He has relatively little upper body strength and gets targetted for roughing up quite a bit. The reason he's in the side is not to do with how big he is. It's because of his technique and passing.

 

[Silas]

Is he not playing in Pogba's place?
