Thought he was excellent 2nd half, brilliant at carrying the ball and passing was spot on. Would like to see him more in the actual midfield

I like him, think he should be starting games for us in midfield. Might be a controversial take but i rather see him in the starting 11 than Casemiro. Casemiro just feels a bit too erratic in his midfield displays, a couple of nice highlights moments mixed up with some pretty poor moments. If Amrabat gets into it i think he could be very good for us. Him and Mainoo could work well, atleast in my head.
But we can also conclude that neither him or Victor are leftbacks, not even close, both looks completely lost there.
Erik must find a different solution there. Maybe a 3 at the back formation, oooor just throw in Amass at the deep end. Far from ideal but not sure it could be worse than what we are seeing with players so far out of position.

Only works against a team sitting off and trying to hit you on a counter. I don't think he's great when teams are happy to go toe to toe.
Amrabat has been decent imo.
He's useful playing in that inverted full back role and can also play as a conventional, deep-lying midfielder. It's more a question of his adapting to the pace of the game in the UK than him being someone totally out of his depth.

Perhaps, just think that with injuries etc we should utilize him more
I don't disagree. He was so vital last year because we tended to play more of a midblock system that didn't require him to cover as much space, and it seemed obvious he also was a step quicker in his actions so his defensive contributions were immense. But now he's that he's lost a step he's committing to tackles and losing out while still being sloppy in possession.
Thank God we didn't had enough funds to make this transfer permanent. He's shit
More clever recruitment.
Why do we sign players who are shit and slow on the ball? Our most composed player out there is a teenager. It's a bad look.
There were ones who thought Amrabat will be our saviour in midfield and transform it 
And saying he's much better than Fred. Grass is always greener on the other side of the fence I guess.
Fred was twice the player Amrabat is. We had a downgrade when we sold him and loaned this guy for the same amount of money. This is a sackable offence in itself.

USS ships turn faster than this guy.
Another one of Eriks Eridevise mates
So many posters thought he was some key signing. It was clear as day that these mistakes will happen. He's far too slow for this level.
Spending €20m in the summer to trigger his buy option would be a mistake
Well that's the nail in the coffin for his chance of ever joining.
Cannot believe Erik chased this lump all summer while Klopp scouted out and signed Macallister, Endo, Szoboszlai and Gravenberch.
And he signed them all for less than £8m per season amortised, which is what we've paid for Amrabat.

Another player our manager was desperate to get all summer who turns out to just be pure shit.
He is so clunky in his movement, actually not that slow when he gets up to pace but his initial movement just exposes him to losing the ball in the PL, given the pace of the game. Add a bit of a ratty first touch and it is hard to see him as a PL player.
Actually thought he might come on earlier given how quiet Mainoo was, but not exactly a winning sub.

Another who looks like he won a competition
From day 1 of us being linked to him I had a bad feeling about bringing him in. Not done anything to prove me wrong, just not up for it in the Prem.
One of our worst ever players.
Potentially one of our worst ever players. Honestly. You have to laugh.
Worse than Fred
Biggest problem with Amrabat is he's just slow, slow in moving, slow in running with the ball, slow in controlling the ball, generally just looks and feels slow and cumbersome, he feels like the midfield version of Maguire, in direct contrast to Mainoo who's quick and nimble and good control on the ball.
So the loan deal definitely should end at the end of the season.

Not being content with throwing a useless plodder up front last season, Ten Hag then proceeds to throw a useless plodder into midfield this season. When will this madness end
By a massive margin, actually ridiculously insulting to Fred who for all his erratic nature had some incredible games against good teams for Utd.
Slow as feck.
He's been a downgrade on what we had before, which also wasn't good enough. Another very poor signing. Thank god it's not permanent.
Loan or not loan, he is useless.
One of our many terrible transfer dealings, not only because of today's mistake, but his contribution in general.

Awful. So far from the required level.
I can't believe people argued with me about him being slow by showing that one clip of him chasing back against Mbappe
feck sake
feck sake
How do you came to that conclusion?
On retrospective it was a better deal to loan him than sign him for 10M.
Astro turf goal he give a away. Not near the level for premier league unfortunately.
Just horrific. Could've brought the ball under control much sooner but his technique is so poor. And when he finally got round to putting his foot on the ball, the touch wasn't the right one in the situation. How is he a centre midfielder?
Maguire with a skinhead.
Has the ability to receive the ball under pressure of a League 1 player.
Not sure how he’s had a top flight career in all honesty, I couldn’t tell you what he’s actually good at?

Amrabat is one of the many in this squad who lacks the pace, power and poise for the Premier League. Much better suited to the slow tempo and simplicity of internationals. For the loan fee we paid for Amrabat, I am convinced we could have signed a midfielder from the Championship who could have made a bigger contribution to our rotation.
Certain shirt numbers at our club must be cursed since Bruce have we actually had anybody eke out a successful career here wearing the number 4. Even the successes can only muster one decent season before becoming crocks or cnuts.
Thank feck we didn't sign him permanently.
Well the loan fee was close to 10M and there are far better players you could have bought for that money who might have actually added depth to the squad.
He wasn't even particularly impressive in Serie A, just a solid player for Fiorentina.
