please play well in his absence please play well in his absence
He really won’t we have no midfieldersLike to think this is an end to this 4 year prank now. I think he’ll be gone by September too.
Can't see it purely because of depth. Though I'd much rather Hannibal gets any gametime we spend on McTominayLike to think this is an end to this 4 year prank now. I think he’ll be gone by September too.
It's not that he hides all the time, he does hide and I've seen him do it plenty, it's more that even when he does get into those good positions he just doesn't demand the ball off his team mates enough.I have studied Scott McTominay's performance against Brighton with respect to the complaint that he hides from the ball.
I will continue to keep an open mind and an eye on future games to see if I can build a case that Scott McTominay hides from the ball. I have recorded the moments to video, but lack the status to be able to post it yet.
- I looked at every instance the first line (centre backs and the goalkeeper) were trying to build play from the back.
- I found that McTominay regularly showed for the ball (particularly in the first half) and collected the ball a number of times from the first line.
- I did not find any examples that match the video that was relayed by @Sunny Jim showing Scott McTominay hiding from the ball.
I imagine we will also buy some.He really won’t we have no midfielders
I don’t think ‘spend’ is the tight term anymore. I suspect it will be ‘spent’. We can call depth, but if Scott is quickly identified as a player not up to it, he is not useful depth for anyone. And he can also command a decent fee I suspect. I think he’ll be sold, which would give me great confidence in the manager because time would not have been wasted.Can't see it purely because of depth.

Tears in my eyes.

I'd like to share this optimism but reckon he'll linger on for at least another year. It's encouraging that ten Hag seems to see him for what he is though.I don’t think ‘spend’ is the tight term anymore. I suspect it will be ‘spent’.

Not a chance of that IMO. We aren't there in our rebuild stage that we get rid of guys like McTominay. Will take time but I think next year will be when he goes.Like to think this is an end to this 4 year prank now. I think he’ll be gone by September too.
Even if we lose, it will not be because McTominay didn't start.We better win after all these posts
Only cos Brentford eased up. One bit of pressure he messed up and was carded.He gave a better performance than most today.
He was dreadful, and pretty much all threads have been bumped. He is not a footballer.One of the last players you can blame for today, yet one of the first threads to be bumped...
Yeah, he was relatively decent at first, especially compared to the rest.Thought he actually did quite well for the first 20 minutes or so after coming on. Helped by Brentford obviously taking their foot off the pedal, but still did some nice things. After that he became a bit of a joke out there though.
Great isnt it?One of the last players you can blame for today, yet one of the first threads to be bumped...
the pass to the left at the 90th minute sums him up. Clueless.Honestly I'm not a big McTominay fan but for the first 15 mins when he came on he did ok but after that he was absolutely horrific like usual.
At the end of the day we still can't accept being ok considering we are Man Utd and should be challenging for titles
If you think McTominay would have helped the team not concede 4 goals then you are also the problems with the fan base. Fred, McTominay, Maguire, Shaw, Rashford etc are not good enough. Rangnick was saying this team is not good yet it was made out Rangnick was shit manager and can't coach.GUYS, MCTOMINAY IS CLEARLY A REASON WHY WE ARE LOSING.
Idiots spent the whole week singling him out, he's out of the team and we concede 4 goals in first half. He was still absolutely awful when he came on, yet still he somehow improved our terrible midfield from the first 45 minutes.
Left footed centre half I hear you say?With him we look like a mid-table team
Without him we look like a relegation team today.
The thing is, we don't have a DM, we need DM. Feck it, lets buy a DM.
