? McFred is the best and most dynamic midfield we have when Pogba is out. McMatic on the other hand is just not the same...
I can’t agree with this - Scott is a brilliant midfielder. We are playing with attacking full backs, 4 strikers and his midfield partner is 34. What more do you want from him. True AC Milan we’re more balanced but martial James Greenwood and Bruno kept giving the ball to them. We didn’t draw this game because of him and matic.
Doing a good job of pointing at the danger but doing nothing about it, Maguire joining in as well.
Yeah, as I posted in the screenshot in the post-match thread, he didn't jump to challenge the guy who scored. In fact, he crouched, which at 6' 3 (1.93m), is criminal.
Ok mate - if you say so.
Phil Neville is a better midfielder than Scott.
Last Sunday we won at Man City - where was the criticism then or after the Leeds game. He’s a very good player fact. He didn’t even have a bad game last night. You boys need to look at other contributors - martial poor, Greenwood not great, Dan James not great. Bruno take out his assist and he had a shocker. Scott is not Utds biggest problem - we have other issues.
I think you could say this for our entire front 6. None of them really have any great chemistry and none of them seem to know when to move, where to move and when to pass. Yesterday McT was either exhausted or just didn’t give a feck as he was super lazy. Amount of times he didn’t make the move in to space to give someone an easy option was doing my head in. Matic wasn’t any better and still seems set on playing as a left sided CB instead of creating offerings by moving in midfield.
Nothing wrong with playing 4 attackers and 2 6s. Scott needs to mature more as a player but he has improved a lot in the past 18 months. The real issue is Matic here, we look utter crap every time he plays
You could ask that question of at least 3 players in that clip. I think the whole team looked lethargic.
The caf does not act like he is Roy Keane, thats just utter bullshit.The caf act like he’s Roy Keane. The average fan you’ll see on the street act like he’s a league 2 player. How can someone be so overrated & underrated at the same time?
Its mad. He’s defended to the death on here, you can’t say a bad word about him without being told to support another club, yet if you go to a pub in Manchester, or look on twitter, or for me personally my group chats, he’s jumped on very harshly for the slightest mistake.
In my opinion both sides are wrong, he’s a useful squad player & would start for midtable teams. He’s not good enough to be playing week in week out for us.
He’s very overrated on here. He’s been put above Pogba by numerous posters & spoken of as a future captain.
He’s extremely overrated on here. I had someone telling me we wouldn’t need to replace Pogba because “Scott is a better box to box midfielder” it’s a crazy 180 when I come on here because all of my group chats think he’s shit. I find myself arguing for Scott on WhatsApp & against him on here
Did this excellently last night on several occasions. To the point where I couldn't believe Kesse and Meite were still falling for his drop of the shoulder.
Our midfielders are exposed because most of them have limitations in their games which requires specific partners or they're fecked.
The odd decent performances now and then doesn't hide the fact that we need an improvement on our midfielders. He's a decent squad player at best and yet he's starting in most games.
Agree, he is a decent squad player and nowhere near this incredible player some of the caf pretend he is when he had a purple patch of goals. It is another Lingard situation where he will dine out on a run of goals for a long time. He and Fred are both decent players but they are not the lynchpins of a consistently successful side, they are just supplemental parts. He has time to grow and improve, but he is quite average across the board, doesn't always make himself a good option to receive the ball and is a pretty average passer of the ball. We need upgrades on both him and Fred in order to be win trophies consistently.The caf act like he’s Roy Keane. The average fan you’ll see on the street act like he’s a league 2 player.

No idea how he didn't to be honest - and in a European game no less.
Dean does love those moments.
From my perspective, which I'll assume the ref agrees with, it appeared that McTominay was about the absolutely clatter his opponent and made a big effort to avoid this rather than simply pulling him back as some might have seen it. For this reason only a free kick was awarded and a caution did not need to be issued.

I see you haven’t actually watched Pogba play at all this year then, as he massively improved his defensive qualities before his last injury.
Fine. You think Pogba is a box to box player like the other guy.
