this can't be trueThe again, forget September. He'll be here for another 5 years at least.
His first half was dreadful, apart from the few awful moments with the ball I would also question his positioning, was super high up the pitch. A little better in the second half when the team had a more defined structure but an inauspicious start to the season to put it mildly.
My favorite part was the blind backheel flick at the top of Brighton’s box when he had 3 options to pass to and we’re down 2-0.
Utterly atrocious and pointless footballer.

The guy doesn't start as a midfielder for Scotland but he plays as a midfielder for us. Hey but let us keep him because he is from the academy.
We can’t all be mad can we? I’ve seen Scott play for a few years now and he‘s been average at his best and awful most of the time. Yet he seems to play 40 games a season and is a regular under 4 different managers. He can’t even play in midfield for Scotland ffs.
You wonder how many midfielders we could have had, 'but we have McTominay' was the answer. There is another scary thought of the day.
He was horrendous at the end of last season, stinking the place out in a key position offensively and defensively, his reward is to start the first game this season as normal. Is there no punishment for mediocrity at this club?
That is remarkable.
Agree with all this. I genuinely think he's as talented as, for example Ben Pearson, who is as average a Championship midfielder as you could possibly get.
I trust EtH to realise this asap. My impression is that McTominay talks good tactically or when receiving instructions, maybe even does well in specific coaching drills, so managers think "he gets it, I can really on him to put this into practise", and then on match day his brain goes to mush and he can't apply any of it, makes terrible decisions, doesn't show for the ball, and attempts the only sort of quality he has which is driving forwards with the ball, because he's too afraid to attempt anything else, regardless of the situation.
His whole game is predicted in losing the ball on an easy pass, chasing it back and committing a foul in the process. Utter shit of a footballer.
It's actually Erickrsson.
No surprise he was shite. Don't want to criticise EtH but we all knew he'd be terrible. How he managed 70 minutes baffles me.
Better than Fred, but thats not saying much.
but he isnt though, thankfully most fans have started to realise this.
Fred was shocking today but he can and will serve a purpose once the teams settled into its new system, he wont ever be a main cog but his ball retention and off the ball attributes we dont really have any player like that in the team. Im probably wasting my time expaining myself as you have come into a Mctominay forum to bring up another player? if you cant critique someones performance without the need to bring Fred or another player up then a forum probably isnt the place for you.
i will wait have to wait 24 hours to reply to you as being a newbie in this forum you're restricted to 3 per day, which is ridiculous when you see the amount of garbage some people. write on here
That bit where he managed to turn a dangerous opportunity in acres of space just outside their box into a potential red card challenge was quite impressive tbf
Not even close. Fred is a very good player in the right system. McTominay is not even a PL standard midfielder in any system.
Ha he been racially abused on Instagram yet?
Would we as a club be interested in signing him if he was performing like this for another club ?
I legit almost yelled ‘what the feck’ at my screen when that happened. I’d like to hope ETH had a mini-stroke when he saw that and made a mental note for the future.
He's not at all better than Fred, not even close. Fred was bad today but he still plays with a purpose, never goes hiding, and is the best presser in the squad. I still struggle to see what McTominay does at average to above average level in football. I don't understand why can't we just sell him and fool some PL club into paying decent money for him. We've seen other clubs offload their mediocre players for surprisingly decent money, I don't know why we can't do that. McTominay is atrocious for Manchester United, we've had some really mediocre midfielders here over the last decade or so, but McTominay might actually be the worst of them all.
Obviously not. We wouldn't be interested in signing him if he were playing at his very best. He's only ever been tolerated because he came up from the academy.
Just look at the reactions to the idea of signing Neves or Tielemans. People turn their nose up at both despite them being far better than McTominay.
Remember Sean Longstaff?
The answer is probably, because we had a man called OGS in charge for the part of 3 years.
Firstly, the words "Fred" and "ball retention" should never be uttered together.
As for McTominay, he was poor today. Carried the ball too much when he shouldve passed, and was sloppy in possession. In terms of "serving a purpose once the team is settled" however, McTominay could very well prove valuable as an attacking #8. He is normally good on the ball, at beating the press and carrying it out on the turn, and pinging balls into the feet of the attackers. He is never going to be a playmaker, and he is never going to be a DM as his defensive awareness and position are his two worst attributes. He also adds some physical presence to the team, which can be useful when we have signed a short CB.
This guy is a waste of space.
Wumming right?
You can be as bad as McTominay is and survive at this club.
Dalot failed on loan at Milan and he's now our starting right back.
He won't be sold. We rarely sell players because we don't know how to.
This is madness.

Maybe he’s describing Kevin De Bruyne
There isnt really any point in trying to have a discussion now, after that game and that performance.
Definitely not if you dont recognise that aside from 2 games against Bielsa, McTominay has never shown a single one of those attributes I highlighted. As a footballer there is nothing to redeem him.
People said year in year out and yet again, managers continue to pick him.
McT, utter dog shit.
The whole lot were crap in fairness but especially him...next game Donny needs to play with Fred. Even if Donny has a bad game and plays with a blind fold on, he'll still do better than McT

Lucky not to have been sent off here
Unreal how shit our options are in midfield and attack. This guy and Rashy still managing to get games is shocking. We are in a state.
He hasn’t pinged a ball to anyone in years. You may have seen him do it once under Mou.
Fed up with seeing this guy on the pitch.
69% pass accuracy as a DM who doesnt try anything complicated is actually quite an accomplishment 
In the above gif, he just lost the ball in such a promising area after that horrendous foul and he just gets back up casually and starts jogging back like nothing happened.
