I think Ole sees him as the replacement for Matic.
He was a massive loss when he got injured. He’s not world class but don’t underplay how valuable he was at the start of last season.
This is the lineup news I was waiting for. I reckon we’ll smash them after an uneven start.Some short memories regarding McTominay. It wasn't long ago, starting under Mourinho and into Ole's reign that McTominay was showing up versus top six teams with big disciplined performances. Largely Redcafe was praising him for being the only midfielder actually showing up!
Get used to it. He's not displacing Pogba or Bruno.Yes because thats how professional managers behave
It could be as simple as AWB late back to training and a bit out of rhythm, Greenwood has gone through the wringer a bit and could need a bit more of a break and Matic maybe some kind of knock. Ole will be asked about the team selection later, I'd be very surprised if he's purposely picking a weakened side on the opening day.
It's equivalent to people slating Williams when he plays LB when he's fairly obviously not a proper natural LB. The problem is with the perception of the player, not the player himself.Agree to disagree
is playing Daniel James a message to Woodward about Sancho?We are going to win this. Ole's at the wheel.
Yeah said that from the start. Good level player for rotation though and much better than we had on the bench.
He's better playing a bit further forward, in the Matic role he's not enough. Seems to have an eye for goal too.
Exactly.That right flank of ours starting. Seriously, Ole must be showing that we lack real quality depth there, or something.
I'm announcing to the Cafe that I am going to be much more positive in my contributions in the match day threads.
Feel free to hold me to account.
This forum more or less hates everyone, except Bruno and Greenwood
Or maybe people are slating the decision to play the player, and even worse in a position where they do not excel. I mean so unreasonable to complain about James playing today at RW isn't it. Not like he is usually poor there...
This! It’s not like he’s our first choice, he’s a great squad option!Son of a b****! He's starting fecking Lindelof again..... Give Smalling a fecking chance!
Either way, I don't think it's a bad thing shielding him from the spotlight for a couple of games. Even if Ole has dropped him for a game, I really think it's good management of the kid.Giggs looks great. I bet he could get into a few Championship midfields.
He’s usually crap against low block sides though because he has the creativity of a carrot.Forgot James scoring in the last fixture and celebrating like he scored the winner
Square peg, round hole and all that...Just replayed the goals from last season in the 2-1 loss at OT, cracking finish from James in that game.James and TFM. Our RW continues to be a joke.Just have to laugh at this point that a team like united have mensah and james starting down the right wing, ole is clearly insane because it's only insane people that try the same thing (james on the right) over and over again and expect a different result.
They absolutely do at times.Yes because thats how professional managers behave
Yup but people shouldn't complain right...Lineup looks appaling compared to the pre season want lists from posters here. Put it into perspective.
We need a LB LCB and RW.OGS making selection decisions based on pre-season fitness and form. What the hell is he playing at? He should be looking at their percentage ratings on FIFA, and checking on the Caf.
McTominay did very well in games where we don't have much possession. In games like this I would much rather start Matic or Fred. He also doesn't seem to play well with Pogba. Regardless he is probably the most fit out of all the options and thats probably why he is starting.
Having 2 defensive full backs is over kill against a team that sits deep and hits on the break. We should be imposing our attacking play on them, just like all the successful winning sides do.Obviously a team taking the lack of pre-season into account. Least we've got Greenwood and VDB to bring on if things aren't going to plan.
I quite like him though he's not really good enough. But Glazers ...
Martial and Pogba got bipolar support. Love or hate them and not many in the middle.This forum more or less hates everyone, except Bruno and Greenwood
...Evra mentioned Wilf and David Moyes' daughter What did Evra say about Zaha and Moyes daughter?Evra- Status
