Then he will fail. He's not an attacking midfielder. His role is to provide a platform from deep to open up defences .Fred will a Pogba backup when he can't play

I don't think Ole will ever freeze anyone out. He's not the sort. He meant it when he said he'd give everyone a chance, and tbh, for the first time I'm genuinely interested in seeing what all the players are capable of, including Fred. Because I don't think any of them can be judged on their Mourinho performances given the difference we're seeing in the team now.
This man is the most polar opposite of Mourinho you could ever find. No wonder the players have a smile on their face. His personality is so infectious and it's wonderful to see after what we've been used to the last 2 and half seasons.
Please give me a chance boss, ill do anything....
Why wasn't Fellaini given a fair chance, if that's the case? And there have been already talks of us selling him in the press.I don't think Ole will ever freeze anyone out. He's not the sort.

Because he hasn't been doing enough in training to warrant a place on the bench/pitch when theres other players performing better? That's not freezing someone out. That's not meeting the standards being set, when you've been given the chance to. And he's in the press as transfer listed every window.Why wasn't Fellaini given a fair chance, if that's the case?

I didn't know that. Could be. You'd think at home to Brighton would be an opportunity to give him some minutes.Reckon it's because he just had a baby?
'Hey boss, my parents' aren't home tonight, perhaps you wanna check out on me yeah?'Please give me a chance boss, ill do anything....
Decent chance he'll play in the next game I would think. Ole already had Lukaku, Sanchez, Bailly and Romero play against Arsenal; he wouldn't want to make too many changes all at once and Burnley at home 'should' be a better match to change our midfield than Arsenal away.Ole did not play him even yesterday.
Hopefully. The few opportunities he's been given, Fred has been disappointing. Time to step up for real now.Decent chance he'll play in the next game I would think.

I don't think the quote is relevant here. I don't think he's not getting games due to any attitude, work ethic problem. He's simply struggling to adapt to a new league and team.Reminds me of a quote from Berlusconi when he took over AC Milan years ago... "these players earn so much money, they think they are God's..."
Is that what he said? What an unlettered man.The fact that we haven't seen him under the new management seems to suggest the guy, at the moment, is not cutting it. Not sure where he will get games, because all our matches are crucial. Burnley is a massive game.
Fred seems yards off the pace of the game here.... way off. Not sure what these players are up to sometimes.

Fred needs to sort himself out, quickly. Because we need midfield rotation... can see that.
Lindelof was never a defender that would perform well under JM. He is not suited to defend sitting back and against crosses, and considering one of his strengths is his ability on the ball it was never a good match.I wrongly wrote Lindeloff off so I’m going to give this guy a chance to turn things around.
He doesn’t look anywhere close to a £50 million player though.
That is another worrying thing. Most likely towards the end of the season top 4 fight would be do or die just like now. Then if matic or herrera were unavailable (touchwood) due to injury, suspension etc then relying on Fred to fill their shoes will be a huge risk. In my opinion he needs to get some time now when he can be replaced by matic or herrera when things are not going his way.The first team is on fire and we desperately need wins and points. Unless the first tean players need a rest then they should keep playing
Well said. I always go to watch games with my dad and under Mou he's been slating Lukaku, Pogba etc but I just replied with everyone's crap under Mou, watch us get another Manager and they all turn world class.I don't think Ole will ever freeze anyone out.

In the league, he wont get a better chance for a start this season. Otherwise FA Cup against lower league team maybe? I think it is important that he plays games here and there, otherwise he wont get used to it for the future. Lindelöf got some games and learned from it, Fred wont adapt much by sitting on the bench onlyHe will start against Burnley, you’d imagine.
If we can’t trust him in this sort of home game then I can’t see where he gets a start at all, to be honest.
