Ro Sham Bo Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 McTominay would be a decent signing for West Ham if/when they sell Rice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobbieD Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 6 hours ago, Satoshi said: Shaw, McGuire and AWB were the worst players on the pitch. Mctominay was given an impossible job without the front four pressing. As I mentioned earlier most people had wrote off Henderson at a similar age. 100% this Fred and McTominay had mission impossible. The defence was a disgrace. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaw was disgusting yesterday. A total jobber who gets an easy ride due to the fact that last season he saw a lot of the ball and sprinted forward with it a few times. And his goal against Italy of course. Maguire is just a bog standard PL centre half. He's not shite but he's definitely not brilliant or world class. £80m they paid for him And he's absolutely average 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's easy to have a go at these guys, but I reckon they'd easily get a game for any club outside of Liverpool, City and Chelsea. Even if that's true (unconvinced it is on Fred and McTominay), Man U fans aren't going to be happy with being 4th best no matter the reality of their situation. McTominay is a good player, he's not world class though and that's what Man U fans expect in the centre of their midfield. He's far less of a problem than some of their players, and much less than the manager, but you're not winning the title with him in central midfield as first choice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Brightside Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 (edited) I would say describing Maguire as average is fairly generous tbh. You'll struggle to find a centre-back in world football more consistently caught out of position. Almost every goal Man U concede Maguire is AWOL, an absolutely shocking player.

I think within the right system he’d be a decent player, as shown in the Euros where he was part of a defence that barely conceded a goal, nearly won the final and earned him a place in the team of the tournament. Ole is a clown though, who is failing to get the best out of multiple talented players this season, such as Sancho and Rashford as well. He’s the main issue imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2426255 Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Although fans thought he had a poor game against the Faroe Islands from just a statistical point of view he seems to have had a good game as an individual even if the midfield chemistry was a bit off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, but he also has some major weaknesses and will be targeted by attackers in every game at the elite level. The statement I saw that I quite liked on redcafe was when he is good he is effective (not great but in effective in a Gary Cahill / Marco Materazzi type way) but when he's bad he's truly horrific. I've referenced Henderson before but at McTominays age Kante had just been signed by Leicster City. Players in that position tend to see their best football later in their career. Jorginho (who I concede is a very different player) had just moved to Napoli along with Allan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I'm right I'm right. Quote “You always need to have cover. If Kieran goes, Andy will sit in. If Andy’s already gone, Kieran won’t go on a crazy overlap. Well, maybe he will once or twice! But not very often. And you also have intelligent midfielders on that side, normally I’ve got Callum McGregor on the left and he’s such an intelligent footballer - he knows that if there’s an overload, he can slide across and cover the position."

bdu98196 Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 Didn't feel like we missed him last night, solid at the back and the team played well with us looking more together using defenders who play in those positions weekly. With the centre of the park also looking excellent with Gilmour, McGinn, McGregor could we actually be reaching the point its time for SC to accept that just because he plays for Man U that he may not be the best option every time to start? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Said to my mates last night that we have a proper squad of 15-16 guys you'd be happy starting with; McT, Dykes, Hendry, Hanley, Patterson could have potentially started had they all been available. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
