    I don't mean to be harsh, but it seems some are giving him more credit than he deserves. Understandable given we're desperate to see him start performing.

    Or maybe I'm being too harsh after all :p

    Definitely being harsh. If that’s bruno it’s “genius”
     
    Feckin Fred and Matic might as well be in Blue shirts, shocking half from them in particular.

    Nice dummy from VDB but he lacks presence on the pitch, needs to get himself involved in possession or he will struggle to ever start games here.
     
    Fred's been watching far too much Arsenal

    VDB has been invisible
     
    Match day thread is like people from past and future sending messages on this thread.
     
    Awful but somehow level, need to pick it up second half. Hairdryer treatement for some at halftime thats for sure.
     
    So many fantastic chances to spring the counter when Leicester lose it in the middle third but Fred, Matic and VDB keep messing up the pass. Lucky to be into half at 1-1. I'd bring McTominay on for one of them he can at least dribble with the ball
     
    Ok, stupid question time. Could that dummy by VDB be classed as an assist? I mean, by leaving it he created the chance!
     
    It's a tough game 3 days after a tough away game, but we are not doing that bad imo.

    Got some firepower on that bench too.
     
    thank goodness it wasn't martial the ball went to for the goal - yet again he was standing still
     
    Be happy to see Bruno, McT or Cavani at HT. Martial, VDB, and Fred will be lucky to see 65 minutes. This one could go to extra time though.
     
    It’s alarming how poorly we pass the ball at times, fecking league 2 standard. Good goal from Greenwood and nice dummy from VdB as well. Really need to step it up 2nd half.

    why pass to a man marked when there's another unmarked (telles)

    You don't get to play the "marked man" card as a midfielder once you start showing that you are available to receive the ball. If you feel like you cannot take the ball, don't get in the stance, don't show you are active. Fred literally hinted that he wanted the ball with his body language and stance. As a midfielder you always give signals to the person in possession around you where to pass and, if you are not willing to take the pass, you signal the same.
     
    I still think we'll win, but we'll need some changes to do so. Mason got us out of jail really, we've been that average. But then their goal was a total gift.

    Matic has been fine.

    I'm a huge Maguire fan, but hes been shocking for the most part. That's a hospital pass he plays Fred. Of course Fred was poor, but it was needless.

    McTominay and Bruno for Donny and Fred please. Cavani for Tony as well.

    McTominay's worst games happen when playing with Matic.

    Matic's worst games happen when playing.

    There's a common denominator in here somewhere.

    To beat the press and open up space you have to take risks. Fred just isn’t the guy to be the 6 in that system. We don’t even have such a player but we’re playing that system.

    you are not wrong. but there was a better ball. there is no rule that says you have to take risks inside your own area

    Fred is excellent. Just terrible with back to goal on the edge of the box. Has cost us so many goals going back to mourinho time
    Click to expand...
    He's not excellent. The only thing he does well is off the ball. With the ball, he is awful. He can't pass, cross or shoot.
     
    Had a wonderful doctor once. Focus on the 1%, or 2. Small gains can do wonders. We need better doctors in our staff

    They wanna make you believe Fred was initially tightly marked, he really wasn't. Once he had that poor touch then the pressure was on.

    You never even pass onto that area, it falls right into their trap. AWB is free on the flank just chip it out wide?

    You play your team mates into pressure you ask for trouble. Simple.
