It's because unfortunately our whole play breaks down with him and he tends to also be at fault for the big mistakes too. It's hard to be too harsh, because he's just demonstrably not good enough. I just hope he can be replaced soon.
No, it means wanting to have different tactics. He shouldn't be playing as a last midfielder. Everybody knows that. Not together with Eriksen who is not tracking back and Fernandes who got pretty much free role. But there is no way you can blame him for goals. That is on Varane and Bissaka.
So what you're saying is, if Mainoo was on, we'd not have conceded? I know you need someone to blame and you are desperately trying to prove your point, hence why you have completely moved the goalposts now, but this isn't a McTominay problem, this is a structural problem as I mentioned before. Go and read my previous post!
Yep, there's an effective player there who isn't being helped by being put into positions where he is absolutely useless.
Is he and attacking mid - no
Blessed with clueless managers
Ahhh, well that concludes everything then.
I think it's the lack of awareness for the 2nd goal but I agree. I actually think it's Evans who is positioned badly as he could have supported Dalot sooner or he should have pushed out to pick up Gibbs White as Evans was just stood in the box alone.
Even previous seasons.
I know it’s genuinely baffling. Feel like I must be watching a totally different player sometimes. He’s completely mediocre and lazy with it. But hey he spoke well after the game once and apparently ‘gets’ United so that’s alright then.
That is where we should all be at. If we have seen enough to know this, ten Hag has no excuses.
All of McTominay's good work this season has come in the final third of the pitch. He's nothing special but he makes good runs and gets on the end of things. Therefore, I cannot understand why ten Hag made that change, which resulted in McTominay playing in the single pivot. Alternatively, he could have told Eriksen to sit, as he hasn't got the legs to get up and down (which was clear for the second goal) and allowed McTominay and Bruno to play higher up.
Couldn't agree more. He is what he is, and isn't going to suddently develop into a good midfielder. It is the clowns that keep playing him that the anger should be directed at.
He doesn’t have a position, he needs to play alongside two midfielders who do all the running, passing, tackling etc whilst he just ambles around and contributes here and there.
Yeah well you seem to exclude him from all criticism. What did he actually do out there apart from trip a player? He isn’t a forward player, completely lacks the ability for that and isn’t a defensive midfielder and isn’t a box to box one. Literally what is the point of him? He doesn’t pick himself but how he’s managed to steal a living at a club like Manchester United is astonishing.Ahhh, well that concludes everything then.
Then so be it. We're all waiting for a whitewash of the club
Not at all. Look at my posts on here. I've identified when he has good and bad games. What I don't like is the constant scapegoating of a player.
No complaints from me at this point. While it remains true that any manager will fail to succeed here until sufficient corrections to the hierarchy are made, he deserves to go. Just incomprehensible to me that he would choose this as a hill worth dying on when it is clear as day to all of us that the midfield is completely broken when Scott is out there.
It's on both of them. It's not like McTominay is a former winger that's never played in the midfield much less DM before. I'm not letting his incompetence off the hook just because our manager is equally incompetent
He plays exactly like he sounds in his interviews. Dumb af.
