Fair enough, but there's less of a jump between playing box to box and holding midfielder. Than there is being lobbed in at centre back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No arguments there, i think it would be better for him and his progression if he left Man Utd, their style, setup doesn’t suit him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see both sides tbh. If he went somewhere else in the premier league and played every WK that would be good. Its also good for him to be playing with quality players. Like fernandes, van de beek and pogba (crap attitude but still a technically great player. Playing and training alongside these guys is only going to be positive. As long as he plays games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rscot Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 No doubt training with these players has been good for Mctominey. But I’d like to see him play regularly in his natural position, as a box to box midfielder in a midfield 3. I think it would do him the world of good. But he’s have to leave Man U for that to happen. Although if Solskjaer was to be replaced, who knows. But he would need to leave soon, and I think he’s recently signed a contract extension, so it’s not very likely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charger29 Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Man U defence is in a bit of a mess with injuries for tomorrow. Wondering if there is a chance of McTominay starting at CB in a back 3.Tuanzebe (literally just returned to training after a 10 month injury) and Lindelof are the only recognised CB's in the squad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Shaw, Williams has been used before. If Lindelof moves to the centre who takes the RCB spot? Fosu-Mensah and McTominay seem the only two options. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a lot of hanger-on fans and fans who don't have a clue about the game, so you get more stick, there's more scrutiny too. Darren Fletcher had it as well, best to take no notice of it and carry on. He's a decent player and certainly not one of their worst players, though I agree it helps get the best out of him to release him to go forward a little more. Fletcher had the benefit of having a competent manager, though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Moonster Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 I thought McTominay was excellent in the holding midfield role last night. Some folk on here seem to think he's not a holding midfielder and is better going box to box, I'd suggest on the evidence of last night he's capable of doing whatever the f**k we want him to. One thing is for certain, we don't get the best of him at centre back. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A back three of gallagher, cooper and tiernay with mctominay in the middle of the park would work and probably give us a better balance in midfield. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like having a midfielder in a back three who's able to bring the ball out and be flexible (as well as one, like Tierney, capable of sliding into wider positions) and McTominay is probably the best option for that role. I also think in midfield our best bet is to go with a holder who is good at recycling possession and McGinn and Armstrong or Christie ahead as different types of box to box midfielders. If Gilmour were fit and still getting game time I'd be all for him as that deep lying playmaker, but McTominay over Jack or McLean any day. I think he's a valuable player either way and you can't argue we haven't improved as he has in the centre back role. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's really improved this season, despite actually playing slightly less football. He looks quality every time he's on the pitch. Its a good laugh to go back to near the start and read the ridiculous comments about him being crap Same as the Tierney thread tbh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Lambies Doos Posted October 21, 2020 Author Share Posted October 21, 2020 McTominay played very well last night. As soon as Neymar dropped back, McTominay and Fred dealt easily with him. Diving, cheating, racist accusing c**t..!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
