Why not play McTominay as the DM? He's useless in attack.

Pereira holding.
AndreasA few misplaced passes from Andreas so farChrist we look nervous. Reading move the ball around with ease.Romero with short sleeves !?20 years ago (nearly to the day), Ole came on as a 73rd min sub against Middlesbrough in a FA Cup 3rd round matchFans are up. Love it5 min
Slow start to the match, both sides having spells of possession in the first five minutes but yet to create anything going forward.
Doesn't help when he went short Lukaku had a go at him to go long, then when he went long Lukaku went short, difficult when your forward is making confusing runs.Pereira in the #6 role
He's shown no outstanding qualities in the first team. He showed no outstanding qualities in the youth set up. Nothing but blind hope.McTominay is doing nothing in that position
Could argue lukaku adapted to his first pass. He then gave darmian a hospital pass under no pressure as well.Stuart Atwell. Why?
Why is he still a referee?!
Yes! Great atmosphere. Feels like the club of old!We have good depth in the squad, seeing this XI. And that's without Fellaini.
Just need more quality on the right and in CB and we would be decent enough.Mctominay has no idea what he is doing in that position, especially when defending, he looks clueless.7 min
Sanchez gets flattened by Harriott in the middle of the park and we have our first set piece opportunity to deliver into the box.Very very slow start by us8 min
Young sends the free-kick into the box and Jones heads on. McTominay challenges but collides heads with Yiadom and is down getting treatment.Not going to be a pretty game. I am worried about Darmian as CBIs Darmien at cb?
And hope this is mcToms testimonial match. Other than that, decent team for FA cup.
Should chin these mugs.A bit of a slow start
Seems that way. He looks a bit nervous to me.The team drawn out of a hat in the dressing room makes a slow start.mctominay doesn't have the brain to play quick passes.Get up or get off.9 min
McTominay is ok to continue.McTominany does get stuck in. Gets a lot of head injuries for sure.Hope we quicken the pace up a bit as the game goes on.He's injured. Get him aff, ole.10 min
Mata finds space on the right and the ball deflects to Lukaku who then releases Sanchez on the left but he can't find a red shirt in the box.Can't quite work out how we're playing, it's kind of narrow.Lukaku is so easy to shove off the ballWe have looked very poor so far.We’ve started pretty naff. Can’t string two passes together at the minute.Can we stop giving the ball away all the time and start playing some proper football please?Mata's touch
Yeah it's looking more and more like Andreas is rushing it and wasting possession, not good! You're right.A tad arrogant from us to send a shit team like this out. You can rotate heavily when you’re a top side, but we’re not (despite the four wins) and all of our form players are not playing.Why does Lukaku get pushed off the ball so easy.McTominay is terrible.whats the oleball chant to waterfall?This has been a terrible start. We need to up the tempo considerably. The team looks like it’s just got out of bed.- Status
