Just glad that ETH was watching this guy play today. Hope he's replaced for good. He isn't even good enough as a squad player.
No chance sadly, he is untouchable. He will continue to start games and we will sit here wondering what all these managers see in him.Hopefully ETH gets rid
It's a myth that he gets stuck in because he's just crap and can't tackle without fouling.The odd thing is, he was always known for getting stuck into the game, but it appears he's lost that now. I wasn't surprised to see the low skill levels, but I was to see him pulling out of challenges or just going in half hearted.
I doubt you'll find anyone worse who played more games than McTominay for Manchester United, he's closing on 200 games ffs.He is one of the least talented regular first team players I have seen since I have been following this club.
He's crap at his most suited role so not sure what you have in mind short of putting out cones.He is a midfielder who cant pass. Has bad first touch and tackles like a wrestler. If he is still our midfielder next season, we may as well abandon all hope for next season. We need to find a different role for him.
Lets see what ETH can do with him but I have lost all hope for him
I still hope he will be the unexpected statement saleCleverley was worse, he just had a better team around him.
No chance McT goes in summer, we've got more glaring holes elsewhere. He might be a bit part player next season, but he ain't going, don't kid yourselves.
Thats a job for ETH. I just dont want to see him as our starting midfielder next season.He's crap at his most suited role so not sure what you have in mind short of putting out cones.
Cleverley did more on the pitch than McT does. Even if it was always sideways and backwards passes. McT plays 90 minutes and does less than whoever his partner is in midfield every game. Even if they get subbed.Cleverley was worse, he just had a better team around him.

well anyone can do it if they have enough time and space right, even I can do itA Manchester United player who starts in centre midfield can't receive the ball on the half turn. That's one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard.
They teach that to 8 year old centre midfielders. It's one of the fundamentals of playing in midfield.
I get it. But as a new manager, you have no other alterative but to come into things with a fresh eye and forget about the past.I can understand that but I almost feel the opposite, they start from zero and have to earn back trust
Who slide tackles anymore? This isn't the 50s-90s.Every time Crystal Palace was on a counter, McTominay just slowly jogged back.
and I have never seeen him done a single clean sliding tackle this season, NOT EVEN ONCE (which Keane used to do at least once or twice PER GAME).
Anyone who allege that "He GoT PASShion" must not have watched the games
Rashford, Fred, Telles, Wan Bissaka, Maguire..I’ve never seen a more average player start so many games for United, 40 games and mediocrity every year.
Yeah, I think he'll be sold. There were rumours Southampton and Leeds were interested. He's big, experienced now and only 25. Think he could fetch 15M or so and that's half an actual player.I still hope he will be the unexpected statement sale
Are you taking that quote seriously?Who slide tackles anymore? This isn't the 50s-90s.
"If I have to make a tackle then I have already made a mistake."
~ Paulo Maldini
Yes.Are you taking that quote seriously?
If you grew up watching Maldini, you would have known he is the GOAT at slide tackling. Also you would be old enough to know "Lahm special tackle" too.Yes.
Paulo Maldini is many things: A world class footballer, extremely good looking, awesome in the sack (I'm told), a distant relative of Zeus, the next superhero to be introduced into the MCU, but humourist, he is not.
It's true. If you go in for a (slide) tackle then it's the last resort. Translation: stay on your feet.
I grew up watching the great AC Mila defence of Maldini, Baresi, Costa curtains and Tassotti. Don't recall any of them sliding around like Vinny Jones.
@anyone can you post the Hollywood ball that Bruno passed (towards his own box) that lead to the Palace goal?@GifLord Can you post the simple pass he misplaces around 50:15
He's never been good enough as a midfielder and it was a shock when Mourinho promoted him.
He has his own thread for that.@anyone can you post the Hollywood ball that Bruno passed that lead to the Palace goal?
Keeping things neutral.
