So do you to be honest.Needs to be replaced with someone who is technically gifted.

Matic is our best passer playing deep. However, due to his age, he just cannot press anymore, which is a vital part of a defensive midfielder's job. Fred is our best presser. Because both himself and McTominay are not natural defensive midfielders Ole tries to balance the team with their inclusions. A lot of us seem to think all the coaches the club pays to think and work with these players are brainless and don't know their football.He's not a sitting CDM, neither is Fred which is why it's so baffling that Ole continues to play 4-2-3-1 formation. I keep saying that we should be playing 4-3-3.
Bruno - Matic - Fred
It means Bruno drops deeper, but he'd still be the more attacking CM. Keep the midfield tight, the two CM's press and Matic sits back, screening the defense. This formation can also work with Mctom, DVB or Pogba in place of Fred.
You’re taking what I say far too literally. His positional sense isn’t at the level required. Hence he is far less involved than other players better suited for the role.Of course he can do that! He's obviously just instructed to do other things, or maybe do what he wants. I'm not sure.
That's very true and incredibly frustratingIt works for City because they box teams in and move up the pitch as a unit. We press from the front but then drop off and leave space, and usually stop pressing effectively at all after 15 minutes or so.
That's why having two players who can press next to Matic, who as you say is our best passer playing deep, makes sense. Atleast worth trying in some games rather than constantly doing the same thing?Matic is our best passer playing deep.

yeah I know, and I agree that his positional sense isn't the greatest but I think we can get much more out of him in that position. Our team just needs to be tighter, he has far too much ground to cover which obviously isn't great for his positional sense.You’re taking what I say far too literally.

Came to ask the same thing.So sick of him. We’re playing with 10 men when he starts. What does he actually do?
Found his level.What the heck happened to him.
What are you going on about? He was on the ball plenty today and showed for it constantly. Fred’s dragging his name through the mud today.Fred being shit annoys me, but Scott actively hiding from the ball is unforgivable. Going into the season with those two as our starting midfield pair is negligent.
This. The other thing that goes in his favour is that he's quite obviously shocking on the ball - so people invented a version of him, that must be good at defending. I mean if he's so bad on the ball - he must be good at something right?McSauce always been a fecking average player, but he's an academy lad so everyone thinks he's The Terminator, how he gets games here I'll never fathom
He does it all the time, no desire to run back and just watches the ball. Has no awareness of danger, who is around him and looks totally lost at times.Rio highlighting his part in the goal conceded. Townsend busting a gut to get up the field while McTominay is just strolling. It’s unacceptable. This guy won the lottery when Mourinho gave him that new award and Fergie bigged him up because he’s Scottish.
