The odd mistake in him when he keeps the ball a tad longer instead of passing it first time - I wish he'd cut that.

Otherwise, so tidy in possession, this lad. The last bit of foot work at the end of the half! Even annoyed with Rooney for not playing Fellaini and rightly so!

 

[LARulz]

He's just a spanish Cleverley.

Well, he did do one pass in a similar fashion where he swung his passing leg over his shoulder

 

[Isotope]

Disappointing. Why does he not score yet?

 

[Ferguson]

So good

 

[slir32]

So clever in every way, turning passing etc.

 

[Bobcat]

Brilliant so far. Tried to be a bit to cute at times, but his composure is possession is just fantastic. We now finally have a CM who does not shit himself when being pressed

 

[Devil may care]

Just a joy to watch play, his control and composure has been vital in us getting a foothold in the game after City flew out of traps.

 

[RDCR07]

My God I love him. His touch and his control are magnificent.

 

[Truedevil]

He doesn't do anything apart scoring apperantely.

 

[RedStarUnited]

Does he get an assist for youngs goal?

 

[Kraftwerker]

Does he get an assist for youngs goal?

Definitely.

 

[acnumber9]

He's been very good. Hopefully he can get a bit further up the pitch in the second half but given his stature he's been the leat effected by how physical City have been.

 

[Borys]

Does he get an assist for youngs goal?

I don't think so.

 

[OneUnited24]

We need to get a gif of that pass around 81:50 to Di Maria. Amazing first time pass

 

[Rado_N]

I wanna give him a cuddle

 

[pseudo_canadian]

He is superb.

 

[charleysurf]

excellent game again

 

[Raw]

Absolutely brilliant today, even when we were up against it he was the one still performing well.

 

[Revan]

He's magnificient. The best signing of the summer, by a big margin.

 

[OnlyTwoDaSilvas]

He is just superb. Souness can't think of anything he can say about him other than the goals he's scored recently. Well, he was watching today, there was plenty to talk about. An incredibly intelligent, agile and positive footballer.

 

[Skywarden]

Very good game, doing a lot of dirty work in the quiet.

 

[Joga Bonito]

Great game and his touch is just delightful. That pass to Valencia in the 2nd half

 

[NinjaZombie]

Brilliant player. He's answered our long ignored calls for a better quality centre midfielder.

 

[ClosetDevil]

Solid performance. Did so much so quietly and kept the team ticking on.

 

[Kill 'em all]

He seems to have gotten much stronger physically as the season progressed. He got bullied very easily at the start of the season but now he's shrugging off players like Toure, Fernandinho and Kompany.

 

[Mali_Zeus]

Oh its beautiful to have a mid, and a bloody good one too.

 

[Rooney in Paris]

Excellent once again.

 

[Isotope]

Where have you been all these years, Ander?

 

[justboy68]

Always a classy player even when he doesn't have a truly stand out performance. Has a very high 'bottom level' so to speak.

 

[Raees]

Subtle display by the midfield maestro today.. not eye-catchingly brilliant but tactically good in all aspects today. Scary thing - he can play much better.

 

[mu77]

good game

 

[paulscholes18]

Does he get an assist for youngs goal?

No, as it came off young and then the defender

 

[Ekeke]

He was our foothold in midfield until Carrick finally warmed up and got control of the game. The one player City's aggressive pressing couldnt get near as he elegantly and comfortably passed the ball around them. It was very important

 

[bosnian_red]

Brilliant player. Best midfielder in the league since he's come in the team

 

[MTR]

Best Spanish midfielder.

Are you watching del Bosque?

 

[tom33]

Superb movement throughout. We've been crying out for someone willing to create space like that for years! He must be awful in training to have been overlooked for so long.

 

[Borys]

Him versus Fabregas will be interesting.

 

[bosnian_red]

Best Spanish midfielder.

Are you watching del Bosque?

Out of interest how did you get the tagline?

 

[Mister_Stubbs]

Not a bad performance considering he "doesn't do much" as old Souness claims.

 

[TheRedDevil'sAdvocate]

He keeps getting better and better in his new role. He's developed a very good understanding with Carrick, Valencia and Mata. He played a very big part in our build up play and he was always at the right place at the right time to become the extra man in our half of the pitch. He also had four (!!!) dribbles which is quite amazing considering he was the b2b midfielder playing closer to Carrick.

He stayed a bit deeper today cause Fellaini had to spend more time in advanced positions and chase those long balls out of the defense but i wouldn't be surprised if LvG says that this was one of Herrera's best performances thus far for the club.
