3 managers appreciate him. Sir Alex, Mourinho, Ole. Yet internet fans who have barely watched him claim he’s average to useless.
You are right. Both couldn't spot the right pass and were very average with the ball. However, you cannot argue with their work rate. They did well but we need better players next season. Pereira needs to be sold and McTommy needs a loan.Much like with Pereira I thought he was poor passing the ball, but his workrate and composure were good.
It is what it is, he's never going to be a world beater is he but let's see how he progresses over the future once he gains more confidence.My issue with him is that he don’t do any forward passing just sideways passing
Not when defending set pieces. He's got height and strength advantage but still gets caught out.He is actually very mature.
There will be a lot od praise for the heart and workrate from a few players today and rightly so, but the lack of actual quality in depth is a clear reality.You are right.

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.This was his best display for United so far. Thrown in at the deep end and made it look easy.
Tell that to the twenty players that do it at every set piece.You're not allowed to pull players no.

Where are the biases in question recorded?* Everything he did today confirms the biases I had before the match *
He was terrific today.Could only think of this place over the last six months when Ole spoke about him, the way he did. Haha. He even went one extra mile and brought on Fletcher comparison this early. Which tbf is not such an unfair one. Scott's ability to hold his shit together under immense pressure is vastly overlooked by people who post in this thread.
He was solid. Very good game, all things considered;Scott McTominay’s game by numbers vs. Liverpool:
most distance covered (11.79km)
84.4% pass accuracy
7 ball recoveries
3 clearances
2 interceptions
2 blocks
More than capable understudy for Matic.

In summary, he is not as good as Pogba on the ball, and therefor not good?I'm surprised he's being so highly rated in here. He was decent, but didn't think he was particularly good.
His lack of ability on the ball does hurt. There was one moment in the second half which really summed it all up. McTominay had the ball and Liverpool were just standing off him, he passed it to Pogba and instantly three Liverpool players just converged on Pogba from every direction and gave him no choice but to pass it back to McTominay, and the Liverpool players just relaxed and didn't even really bother pressing. Reminded me of our Europa League final a few years ago, where we just let Davinson Sanchez have the ball because we knew he couldn't really do anything with it while we pressed everyone else.
