Maybe was rushed back, didn't look his usual energetic self.
Agreed.Scotty didn’t look fit for this match. The acceleration wasn’t there and he looked more hesitant than normal. No one expected him turn in another Leeds performance but he just wasn’t really there today.
From whoscored, his number of accurate passes was actually the same as Schmeichel.Bloody hell. 21 passes over 90 minutes? That's astonishing for a central midfielder.
Where'd you get those stats though? I would have thought Fred would have had more as well.
What does staying back have to do with not closing down a player near the edge of the box lining up a shot? That’s one of the basic reasons for staying back.He was instructed to get forward more in the Leeds game. He was told to stay back more in this one. That’s he reason he didn’t close Barnes down perhaps.
Thanks.He was actually quite a bit worse than normal. I'd actually be interested to see the stats as off the top of my head I can't remember a central midfielder making so few passes and having such little involvement. There's a reason so many people in here have used the word 'invisible' to describe his match.
I thought he looked off the pace, and given that he was clutching his groin at the end of the Leeds game, I was very surprised to see him playing today. I think Pogba should've gotten the start (not that he played particularly well either, but at least he looked fully fit.)Maybe was rushed back, didn't look his usual energetic self.
fecking hellI’m a big McT fan
‘Tis true, I’m a fan of McT and when I thought he was unavailable yesterday it worried me. He had a poor game yesterday, no getting away from it, but I’d still have him starting vs Wolves alongside Fred.fecking hell
Yes, the last time he played DM against Leipzig he was crap.Leeds game showed that he's more box to box than DM.
Made his debut over 3 years ago now and has played the better part of 100 games, can't keep waiting for him to develop into something he isn't. He's a bog average hoofer and one good game against Leeds doesnt outweigh all the anonymous performances. He's never once threatened to have a game like that Leeds game before. He needs replaced, quickly. Can't carry passengers through the spine of the team.He should have closed down for their first yesterday for sure but I think he is developing into a fine player for us, he can be a very good player if he keeps developing.
Noticed this a lot in the 1st half. Was a bit frustrating.he somehow managed to be hiding behind Vardy whenever our CBs were looking for an out ball. He just looked like he didn’t want the ball.
