Really struggle with McTominey and what he offers.
He cant play at the base without a partner, and offers so little it's hard to justify his selection. He plays worse with Fred - who also has issue's being a sole DM but is easily the better footballer.
The pair of them together just doesn't work. Often in the same spaces, neither great at withstanding an opposition press etc.
What bothers me most about McTominey is that he's so so poor on the ball. He's never in a great position to receive the ball which puts him in a bad position to distribute it. And he cant pass for shit. Way to safe, way to predictable, way to slow. In no way is he acceptable as a DM for us. Its always sideways, always backwards and makes us so easy to defend against. It's way to slow and limits our better players getting on the ball as much.
Also from above, it seems he has less touches and involvement than our other midfielders too - which is criminal from a Man utd DM to be "hiding from the ball". He should be dictating play etc but is very limited and hampers us as a team.
I have no idea what Donny has to do to get a game. He's a class above McTom, Fred and Matic. Mental decisions from Ole
