He's shite but his role on the pitch as our false 9 almost lies squarely under Ten Hag's feet. What on earth was he thinking? Straight out of the overthinking Guardiola playbook.
That or get Fred on for Cas. Leaving him on till the 80th and him getting the yellow so late was such a kick when combined with us conceding a late equalizer.I would have replaced Casemiro straight out with him. We were loosing control of the game with or without Cas, he might as well
spared him from suspension and tried something different. Putting him at number 10 was pointless.
Agreed.He replaced Weghorst and they were starting to overrun Casemiro and Eriksen way before McT even came on. Scapegoating McT doesn’t get anymore pathetic than this.
Because we aren’t Liverpool.I don't understand why a penalty wasn't awarded when McTominay clearly got to the ball first and took it away from the defender.
ETH clearly doesn’t trust him to do that job, that’s why he only really starts in the League Cup now. I think trying him further forward as he’s done few times now is last attempt to try and find some sort of useful role for Mct other than just adding some height. He lacks probably everything manager is looking for as a midfielder.I would have replaced Casemiro straight out with him. We were loosing control of the game with or without Cas, he might as well

ETH clearly understands the gulf of quality between him and Casemiro and also clearly overplays his first options, that’s why next up you can expect a Rashford injury and we are totally fecked then like we are against Arsenal. You better pray McT comes out with a solid performance like he managed earlier in the season if we are to get any points from Arse.ETH clearly doesn’t trust him to do that job, that’s why he only really starts in the League Cup now.

Because we used our referee luck against City on the weekend.I don't understand why a penalty wasn't awarded when McTominay clearly got to the ball first and took it away from the defender.
He was playing a more attacking role to be fair, he was just awful at it. Less effective than Wout. We went to use him as a battering ram while playing on the counter and it was another really poor game from him. I think his place in the squad should be up for debate, if there’s a big offer out there we should take it. I think he can still become a good PL midfielder who gets goals if he gets to start all the time. he just isn’t good enough on the ball right now to pick the lock at the level we need.He had 10 touches in the final 22 minutes plus extra time while playing in central midfield.
Fred came on with 8 minutes left and had 15.
We weren't very good before he came on but we were fairly comfortable and in control. As soon as he came that was gone. He's awful and needs to be sold. Not good enough to be a squad player.
God help us if ETH agrees with you.I'll leave this here because he'll no doubt be replacing Cas in the starting XI against Arsenal.
I had forgotten all about that wrestling moveI'll leave this here because he'll no doubt be replacing Cas in the starting XI against Arsenal.
Well he will, simply because McTominay played there in the reverse fixture and did very well, hence the video.God help us if ETH agrees with you.
Came in, got a penalty denied, got pissed off because of it, immediately gets into a spat with Zaha. Chaos. He just wanted to fight someone after the penalty was not given.

If you watched the game and identified that McTominay wasn't good that day, then you have an agenda.Please refrain from sharing anymore McTominay propaganda highlight vids. Talk about not showing the whole picture with a player
