Had a decent game but doesn’t seem to have that sprinkling of magic dust. I think he’ll be a solid squad player. A bit like a Nicky Butt or Fletcher, good solid players who do a job.
Don't know about that. He played an absolute blinder against Chelsea a few seasons back.This was his best display for United so far. Thrown in at the deep end and made it look easy.
Time will tell but if he becomes even half the players they were he'll be a solid squad option. I sincerely doubt itHad a decent game but doesn’t seem to have that sprinkling of magic dust. I think he’ll be a solid squad player. A bit like a Nicky Butt or Fletcher, good solid players who do a job.
Last season he played his best in a double pivot alongside Matic. Today he played lone 6 with Pereira and Pogba in front. Much more responsibility on him today so I'd say it's his best due to that.Don't know about that. He played an absolute blinder against Chelsea a few seasons back.
Nothing to do with not being as good on the ball as Pogba. But he provides significantly less on the ball than Matic, and most people on here generally agree that Matic himself doesn't provide enough. That makes it much easier for the opposition to shut us down as all they really have to do is mark Pogba out of the game.In summary, he is not as good as Pogba on the ball, and therefor not good?
Basically this. Very unremarkable player, doesn’t seem to excel at much either, less the above post. That’s not to say that he can’t or won’t improve.He has a decent tactical understanding of the game and magnificent positional discipline defensively for a guy his age. Everything else is pretty much mediocre. Good game!
I agree with that. I hope he gets a few more games, ideally in the Matic role, and it will be interesting to see if he can add to his range of passing as he gains experience and confidence.I don’t know if it was a coincidence or not but we where more solid with a mobile and energetic dm then with Matic.
Agree with this entirely, he was asked to play a big role in the team today. He stepped up and did a great job. Very encouraging in regard to what he can do for us in the future.Massive performance, feared the worst when the lineup was announced but every credit to him, didn’t look out of place in our side or the scousers.
Very difficult game to play your first full 90 for some time and deserves a lot of credit for his performance.
I wish he’d take a risk though, either driving forward or a forward pass, very negative player.Very good performance. I strangely like him.
Don’t know what game you were watching. He was certainly better than Pogba.He wasn't good at all, looked lost whenever he had the ball and Pogba came in deep to help. He actually looked better against them last season.
Very negative poster..I wish he’d take a risk though, either driving forward or a forward pass, very negative player.
Top post pal, keep up the good work.Very negative poster..
Wow, I don't know what game you were watching. McTominay wasn't terrible but he did nothing special, he sprayed a lot of useless sideways passes and looked scared whenever a Liverpool player came close to him. His usage of the ball was abysmal. He was better defensively, winning a few aerial challenges. Pogba was restricted when Herrera went off and was forced deep to see any of the ball. He did have a few efforts on goal and could've got an assist when his cross to Lukaku was saved. That was our second best chance of the gameDon’t know what game you were watching. He was certainly better than Pogba.
He had a decent game but Pogba was far better. It’s not even close.Don’t know what game you were watching. He was certainly better than Pogba.
“OK / mediocre” was a pleasant surprise especially given the size of the occasion and the general disruptionHe was okay, but his reading of game and distribution for that position is mediocre.
We have loads of depth for the front line and Defence when everyone is fit. Behind city only surely as a squad. Just silly amount of injuries today. If Fellaini had been replaced with an upgrade we could never really mention squad depth as an issue. Or if Fred was not out in the cold.....“OK / mediocre” was a pleasant surprise especially given the size of the occasion and the general disruption
Can’t really complain although the team we ended up with showed the lack of depth of real quality we have in the squad.
What we needed most from Fellaini wasn't goal threat IMO, it was someone to come into midfield and cover injuries. McTominay did that today.Did he - or can he - do anything Fellaini couldn't do ? Fellaini no doubt a lot dearer but far more a goal threat and creator of goals than McTominay looks.
I'm not really seeing anything too positive at the minute but happy to be proved wrong.
Is this a joke? Pogba was covering the whole left flank with Shaw and showed tremendous discipline. He was one our only players who was composed on the ball and showed strenght in midfield. McTominay did good relative to what a player like McTominay is capable of. He wasnt special. He was thrown into the deep end and showed spirit and deserves credit. However, it is absurd to say he played better than Pogba.Don’t know what game you were watching. He was certainly better than Pogba.
He did the basic right, keep it simple, with a really discipline performance i.e. never get caught out of position.I wish he’d take a risk though, either driving forward or a forward pass, very negative player.
