Yet Henderson is lol McTominay looks the part I hope he plays for Scotland also. Jose has got big issues with the squad right now but his handling and promoting youth has been great here at OT imo.

 

[Classical Mechanic]

Sir Alex will never forgive him if he picks England.

He's from Lancaster FFS.

No he isn't

 

[Greck]

Love the effort but not seeing the talent. The role of midfield destroyer isn't a glamorous one but he's still yet to show a standout feature in his skillset. Right now he's getting in on the infamous 'runs around a lot' requirement.

Also keeps it simple. That's good but won't make him a United regular anytime soon without something to go along with it

 

[criticalanalysis]

He's very good in his development thus far as a youth player and 'decent' as a Utd player.

Like Lingard, he might be a solid squad member and off the bench option. As of right now, I'd have him behind Herrera and before Fellani and Carrick in a 3 with Pogba and Matic obviously.

Some of the criticism is not wrong but the context here is that he shouldn't be regarded as an elite ability midfielder because even if he is, he would no way be able to show that in this passive, inconsistently coached Utd set up. Just look at Pogba's form ffs.

If he continues to get games and we finally have a set up where we can dominate games properly by controlling the opposition through midfield, pressing and a method of playing, he will do well.

 

[Jetrooooo]

I'm late to the party and I'm all for playing youth but I just don't see it.

During the game I was thinking about making a post that McTominay isn't the problem this game or replacing him will solve Man UTDs problems the last weeks, but I don't ever see him becoming United quality.

So I was really suprised to see all the positive reactions. I really want him to be good, but after seeing him this game and some others. He hasn't scored yet or given an assist. I don't see many forward or daring passes(The worst was a couple of 20cm passes to Sanchez where he could've played it wide fast), doesn't beat his man, not really agile nor fast, no amazing contribution defensively.

Mourinho probably wasnt him to keep it simple, but I havn't seen any glimmer of a big talent. I would like to see more from him. It's ok to make mistake, but at least try something.

 

[IrishRedDevil]

He let Willian make the run and didn't track him. Awful play.

 

[NinjaFletch]

Baffling decision to let Willian run off him there.

 

[ivaldo]

Does the simple things so well...

 

[Shane88]

Can someone explain what he is supposed to do well?

 

[pacifictheme]

Very poor. Shame it has cost us.

 

[red_devil83]

He let Willian make the run and didn't track him. Awful play.

Yea that was 90% his fault

 

[JoaquinJoaquin]

That was terrible. Absolutely no excuse for that.

 

[ivaldo]

Hazard has all day to do whatever he wants at the moment. Compare this job to the one Herrera did on him.

 

[Mister_Stubbs]

He is Darren Fletcher / Tom Cleverley mark three. If it weren’t for coming up through the academy he’d be championship level at best.

 

[IrishRedDevil]

He's pretty good at being young and inexperienced. That's about it.

 

[extincti fugax hominum]

He is Darren Fletcher / Tom Cleverley mark three. If it weren’t for coming up through the academy he’d be championship level at best.

Harsh on Fletch.

 

[Robbie Boy]

He's been utter wank today.

 

[AndyJ1985]

He is Darren Fletcher / Tom Cleverley mark three. If it weren’t for coming up through the academy he’d be championship level at best.

He'll do well to be half as good as Fletcher. Tom Cleverley is an apt comparison. He's just...meh

 

[a_devil_inside]

I'd like to see him take more of a gamble with things instead of just going for the safe boring option.

 

[Mister_Stubbs]

He'll do well to be half as good as Fletcher. Tom Cleverley is an apt comparison. He's just...meh

Your right, I meant Darron Gibson.

 

[Adisa]

Foolish play for the goal.

 

[ivaldo]

I'd like to see him take more of a gamble with things instead of just going for the safe boring option.

He can’t though. He hasn’t shown anything, even in youth football, to suggest he has any kind of real passing ability.

 

[slored1]

All over the place. I would sub him off for Bailly as our defence needs an extra man against Hazard and Willian.

 

[JoaquinJoaquin]

Fans booing him looking to go backwards with the ball there. Yikes.

 

[Roboc7]

Has looked out of his depth today, when you are in the team to be the work horse you can’t afford to switch off like he did for the goal. Looks like he doesn’t know what to do with ball when he has it, hopefully he improves in 2nd half.

 

[All 3 United]

Get him off.

 

[bazza1988]

What does he do?

 

[King.of.Red]

Not bad as a young player.

 

[villain]

We need like 3 midfielders in the summer

 

[wythyred]

Been much better than Matic today.. confused by the harsh comments above.

he didn't switch off...you could see he thought his man was eden (as that's the job he's been asked to do). Just too young and inexperienced to recognise that the immediate danger was willian. The job he's been asked is too big for him. Shouldn't be starting.

 

[Adam-Utd]

Looks Lost out there, you can see he lack experience.

Really needs work on his positioning, I noticed he’s a always on top of our other players.

Worked hard but we need more.

 

[Silas]

Shocking mistake really. Not sure how much maturity has to do with knowing not to let an attacker run off you like that.

 

[Bojan11]

Get Carrick on for him. Atleast we’d look like keeping the ball.

 

[Enigma_87]

and Pogba as well. Best midfielder on show, but that is not saying much considering the overall state in the middle..

 

[Ekeke]

Don't think he was a main culprit in the goal, that was down to our fullbacks. However, although he has 1 or 2 decent moments by and large he hasnt got on the ball much and has recovered the ball just 1 time.

He just isnt effective. He looks very much an inexperienced CM without stand-out qualities today.

 

[Romez]

I just don’t see the talent, no stand out attributes a CM should have. Average.

 

[Jonno]

I think he felt Young was going to tuck in with Willian for the goal, mis-communication maybe

 

[Yagami]

He can’t though. He hasn’t shown anything, even in youth football, to suggest he has any kind of real passing ability.

Exactly. We're not saying he isn't good enough just because of his first team showings as he never - for me anyway - impressed in the youth teams either. People compare him to Fletcher but Fletcher was a star in the youth teams. He'll do well to be as good as Cleverley and that isn't an insult.
