Stats and miniskirts again.
Two of his "passes" were clearances late in the game. Discount them and its 86%
How about Fellaini's misplaced pass that lead straight to a goal? Going post about that?
No? Thought not. Lets just bash Herrera instead, despite him playing about 100x better then the big useless Belgium.
You're not even trying to hide your agenda anymore
Erm... That was a statistic. HTH.
It's like a vicarious defence mechanism for his main man.You're not even trying to hide your agenda anymore
Done nothing today really. Pretty much the same performance as everybody's else bar for RVP.
I feel for everybody.

It's difficult to shine in a midfield when the rest of it is awful as well. You all have to be on the same wavelength and he quite often links up with Rooney and he was awful as well. As long as we beat Liverpool as well I don't care.
Might blow your tiny mind but it is possible I thought they were both terrible?
If you want to share your piercing insights on Fellaini you're in the wrong thread btw.
It was you who voted for Fellaini in the MOM poll. Come on own up.
Funny how you're in here posting Herrera's statistics, and not in the Fellaini thread posting his. Or talking about his misplaced pass that lead straight to a goal.
Well I say funny. What I mean is utterly predictable.

Are we arguing over who was shitter? They were both shit
How on earth was Herrera terrible? Was one of our better players (small praise obviously) and generally did a lot more to help us get the ball forward.
What's the betting Pogue has an 80's perm?
Fellaini was definitely shitter.
A mind-blowing concept to dumb and dumber who keep quoting my posts.
He is getting stick for his performance? He is a player who plays quick passes and moves. People have to give him options for him to be able to make passes. Most people turned their backs to him today.
We were all over the place again (like Arsenal) so they all struggled. Can't really be bothered to be negative though as we won again. Been a great weekend for us bar the Smalling injury.
It's impossible for Herrera to be shit. He's the world's greatest midfielder. Even when he feigns injury he feigns it better than anyone!
One can only wonder why Van Gaal does not see this...
Pogue and Fellaini share a selfie
I like Herrera a lot but I'm not really sure what positives people saw in that performance. For my money he looked lightweight and, perhaps more worryingly - and based only on tonight - not especially suited towards tough away games where you have to do different things than at OT.
I don't understand some of these twisted arguments to be fair. By no means did Ander excel today, I like him a lot but even I'm not deluded enough to state that but -
1a) If Herrera has a relatively decent or weak game in an overall poor performance by the team he's called out for it by some and slammed regardless without any excuses being made for his person in terms of acclimatizing to an new league, lack of support from the other players, injury etc etc.
1b) If Fellaini has a relatively decent or weak game in an overall poor performance by the team, a lot of times (NOTE : not always incase someone jumps up in defense) he's cleared of blame which is then equitably distributed among 10 others (or everyone's favorite go-to excuse Moyes for last season's atrocious displays) by the very people who're criticizing Herrera.
Seems like a deliberate self-serving shifting of goalposts to validate one's opinions. Oh well, guess there no way around it.

He's always been sloppy on the ball. That's why I thought he was much better for Athletic Club as a number 10, less risk of him losing it in a dangerous area.
Think it's more that he generally raises the performance of the whole team even if he's not at his best. Not sure about your last point, if anything he's one of the few who I think should be in the team in big games because of his pressing and work rate. Wasn't at his best today on the ball no doubt about that, but was still better then pretty much any other attacking player bar Van Persie and the thing I like more with him over Mata, if one would have to miss out in big games, it would be his pressing and defensive work.
He's learning the ropes, to be fair. If it wasn't for so many gimps desperately talking up mediocre performances I'd spend more time defending him. This is the kind of game that would always be tricky for a debutant from La Liga. Kicked around by physical opponents, aided by a lenient ref. Hopefully he learns from it.
Having to move Carrick back and Blind not being theren as DM doesn't help. Someone in the Post match thread brought up.
Struggled at times today I thought, worked hard but wasn't his day.
Always hard coming on in the 1st half though.

What? Fellaini defended like a beast the last 15 minutes and helped us over the line. I like Herrrera but he was poor today and I think he needs this season to settle.
I am still hopeful for him - I love the way he plays.
I'm not sure he was ever going to do well coming on with the absurd tactics we were playing.
The whole 'not suited to a tough away fixture' could possibly be true if we were a team who you would expect to set up like this often. You'd hope we'd be able to dominate possession even away from home against the majority of teams in the premier league and not play 5 at the back and on the counter.

It could be next season until he is at his best. Players from La Liga do take at least one season to settle. Even David Silva needed that and no I am not comparing them. This is a very frantic, physical league. It is a shock to some players system, some don't settle. Watching Ander's attitude and his personality, I think he will be fine. He isn't a world beater, but you need his type of hard worker in your side.
Carrick was imo by far the best midfielder today.
I really like this lad, very rarely gives the ball away. He needs to start every game for us.
Eh? He's careless with the ball, gives it away a lot.
Played as a defender. Was class as always though, we missed him so much when he was out injured. Still such a key player to us after all these years of people underrating him or writing him off.
Sorry but that is just not true.
Ah ok, well even as a defender he was the best midfielder on the pitch.
I like him, particularly his energy, and I wish he'd get more pitch time, but today's performance will hopefully remind people that he's not the sole solution to all our problems. He can misplace passes and lose possession sometimes just like everyone else.
He's very erratic on the ball. But he's forward thinking which I like and once he's settled and understands his role in the team he'll be quality. Tonight he was no better than anyone else in possession. He was pretty rubbish. But he's one of those players who I don't think suit being an impact from the bench because he takes 10-15 minutes to ease into the game.
was a bit shite today, will end up again on the bench the next game. His 2nd worst performance for us.
