Happy for him, to think some were saying hes not that good. I reckon he is going to be some player for us for a few years.
Nah, won't be like Scholes until he starts getting booked every other game.
Super goal.
6 goals and 5 assists in 24 games is a pretty great record. Particularly when he's only started about 70%-ish of those.
he's been absolute quality, linking everything, winning tackles, great interceptions, creating chances, scoring goals, level above carrick who is just solid as Valencia at RB.. Shame Rafael doesn't play he would make that right hand side even more effective..
but Herrera, you couldn't help but love the guy

His ability to think/pass it quick nullifies all the pressure when in possession. Tidy and excellent. Goal scoring CM? That's so unlike the recent us 
Such a good footballer.
Especially when you consider all his other attributes.
It's weird to compare him to Scholes. Other than goalscoring I don't think they are that similiar.
What I like about him is he thinks ahead before the ball comes to him.
He also needs to grow red hairs and give less interviews.
Yeah, I wasn't expecting his output to be this good.
And of those he's started how many has he actually finished the 90 minutes?
And shunted to left wing with Spain NT.
That's why I think that he should play the offensive box to box role, next to our new "defensive" box to box.
Need to watch younger Scholes.
He isn't really comparable to Scholes, obviously his first touch and technical ability is, but if anything then his game is rather comparable to Keane than Scholes.
I hope Scholes isn't missing Kroos now. He is going to love Herrera soon enough if he doesn't already do. There really aren't many allround players better than Herrera nowadays.

Herrera had an interview a month back where he said he had to adapt to LvGs system because in Spain he would look to beat players one on one but LvG prefers players to hold their space and pass the ball around players.
Why are people taking the Herrera/Scholes comparison so seriously? 
It's just good to have a midfielder that can score goals and is technically brilliant again.

Great picture.
Im not making a case for it but these types of performances are similar to a younger Scholes, when he used to play behind a striker. Not the later Scholes who turned into a deep lying playmaker.Why are people taking the Herrera/Scholes comparison so seriously?

He is so brilliant. Put him on the field and the team is energetic and on fire, take him off and you lose it.
Great that he got another goal, but he and mata have both been sloppy in possession in my opinion.
Eh ? Sloppy in possession ?
Both him and Mata have completed over 93 % of their passes with 60+ passes apiece.

Carrick's patented nipple cripple claims another victim.

Maybe its just me then. Not necessarily talking about giving the ball away mind you, but rather passes not being of quite the right weight/direction, which isnt something you would associate with either player.
how's he sloppy? he's on around 95% passing accuracy :-D
just because he can play one-two, quicken the games and pick creative passes doesn't make him being sloppy, he has got his one or two ambitious passes per game but in the end its nothing what he brings to the game with his "risky" style
Lovely finish that one.
How many goals and assists does this guy have now? In league and all competitions - anyone know?
Edit - just realised its in his profile haha. Are those updated after every game or straight away?

Scholes. (Without the shit tackling)
Love the guy.
Complete package. Scores goals, plays delicious passes, tackles, intercepts.
Made it look so easy
This week's Mata.
I believe it's now 5 goals in the league, 2 in the cup. Not sure on assists.
