If he could play like this 8 out of every 10 games instead of 2 out of every 10 games we’d only have to bring in one midfielder instead of two in the summer.
He has better technical ability. That should be the starting point for Ten Hag midfielders. We'll see I supposeWhat have you seen of Mainoo to suggest he is ready to start for us in the Premier League next season?
If you mentioned Hannibal then I could run with that but to suggest Mainoo whom has only looked good at lower levels is ridiculous.
If Scott does not fit into Erik's plans then we will find out in the summer.
Technical ability is just a part of the game in England...surely you must have realised that by now.He has better technical ability. That should be the starting point for Ten Hag midfielders. We'll see I suppose
Hannibal would also be a better option
Yep, but Mctominay doesn't really excel at anything does he?Technical ability is just a part of the game in England...surely you must have realised that by now.
The commentators MOTM in a game we had to win against Brentford.Yep, but Mctominay doesn't really excel at anything does he?
He hides from the ball, doesn't know how to defend, other than last ditch, and is in general very very average.
I've realised that we have some talented young midfielders who already exhibit things that Mctominay will never possess and yes I would like them to be picked ahead of him. Sue me
He has been all season.Maybe he can be our backup 6
That wouldn't be to replace Casemiro or McTominay, though. There needs to be a balance to midfield, and even at Ajax, ten Hag had players like Alvarez and Schone, who weren't the greatest technicians, but they did the dirty work well.Did some good stuff and scored a goal, it wasnt a bad game at all.
He just lacks the talent and ability to really be a good player for Manchester United. Somewhere in the second half there was some great passing out from the back. Quite a few passes and movement from the players, only for McT to lose the ball. To really play the kind of football ETH wants you need someone with more technical ability in that midfield role. That is why Eriksen starts and ETH wants Frenkie.
Also i think he best role is more forward, a cheap budget edition of Lampard.
And so does Casemiro, hence why ten Hag alsways uses Eriksen next to him. As was the case at Madrid, with Kroos.He needs a DLP behind him to flourish. He's not good at being the first option for a pass from the defence. He needs to play further forward.
I think it is very natural with MCT as there are some major weaknesses in his game which can make it hard to see the good stuff he can do. The last 2 games are the perfect example of that, quite effective and valuable performances but it is hard not to wish he just had a bit more in many areas, then he would be a truly valuable squad player.It’s not the caf without there being vastly contrasting opinions on the same player.
That's one of the few good things about playing him, he gets more leeway from the refs than other midfielders we have.Thought he was going to get sent off after he kicked out at their player
He’s a good player. Keep him as backup to Casemiro
