Such a great all round performance. Great ball in for Young, ran all day long, great skill in tight areas, some fantastic passing and bounced off Carrick so well.
What a man.
What a man.
Indeed. It's always amazing how easy he seems to deal with being under pressure.
His ability to receive any type of pass, control it and give it in less than 3 touches is outstanding.
Works hard and has bags of class, excellent player I love him.
He'll keep Gundogan out constantly at this rate should he join us.
good player
Does that one-touch body-feint change of direction thing have a name? Or should we just name after him?
I agree, and think he should get credit for turning the tide against City's dominance in the first 10-15 minutes. He was the only one in midfield that looked on top of their game in the early developments of the contest.
Out of interest how did you get the tagline?
I was too critical about his debut against Swansea, in which, I believe, he was really crap. However he's now mine highest rated player on this site (bar Perreira, whom I only rated against MK Dons).
I'm just glad he plays for us.
He was an unsung hero today, absolutely class performance.
His performance was sublime (was going to say sexual for some reason
).
).Growing into one of the most important players in the team. The guy is pure class.
He's excellent, doesn't panic and can tackle. Brilliant player.
Made such a difference in midfield today. Literally glided around both on and off the ball. Seemed like City couldn't touch him.
Would love to know how much ground he covered today, he was everywhere. He also was the only player that turned up inside the first 20 mins.
He's brilliant.
He's brilliant.
I just love this guy. It's so nice having a top central midfielder playing for us again.
It's called 'The Scholes'.
Also did anybody hear Sourness (I spelt Souness but it autocorrected and I thought it was appropriate) pre match?
Saying something about Herrera scoring goals and then said he's struggling to think of anything else he's good at.
The Scouse in Sourness is still aching about Herrera going to JuAnfield, getting an assist, getting Stampy sent off and taking a massive s-t on "Hendo" & Allen.
To be fair to Souness, after the game he was full of praise for all the team.
This + incredible movement off the ball
It's not like he had a choice.
The fact Souness can't see what else Herrera does apart from scoring goals is ridiculous. I don't even know if its sour grapes or a genuine lack of knowledge about football.
That close control to leave Fernandinho on his arse was
What a terrific player he is.
Yeah in the pre match he was itching for a huge City win.The Scouse in Sourness is still aching about Herrera going to JuAnfield, getting an assist, getting Stampy sent off and taking a massive s-t on "Hendo" & Allen.
Christ I love this man. He was so silky in possession and also kept it ticking over very efficiently. Stood his ground and kept the ball well too.
The former. Bitter and twisted Scouse bastard.
You mean the one where he switches the ball onto his other foot while running? Its called 'la croqueta' and it was popularised by Iniesta in recent years. Btw Iniesta is Herrera's favorite player and im sure he's learnt a thing or two from him.
Yep, he was talking absolute garbage.
Yeah but still. His natural sourness must have been hard to fight.
Maybe if he could do the amazing things Lucas and Allen do then Souness would appreciate him.
Worth every single penny of his price tag.
Pure sex.
Was always this good and despite most of the big clubs in europe having midfield crisis', he was never in demand! Shameful stuff really. In matches like those, where the opposition is pressing us heavily, your 8 should be your best player and he was. Quality footballer, that's what a midfielder looks like.
That's not the thing the guy was talking about I believe (it's a simple, yet so bloody effective, feint to one side with actually taking the ball the other way), but la croqueta's the move I wanted to mention, he's done it in midfield today and put somebody on his arse with it, I think it was during some counter when Fellaini was charging down the left side, Rooney was in the middle and in the end he fecked up the move by chosing right wing.
Think it was Fernandinho he left on his ass.
Nah it's not that one. It's when he's about to recieve a pass he leans as if to let the ball run across him but taps it back in the direction it came at the last moment. Did it twice today I think.
Great player, he sure loves to slide tackle though
He didn't have a shot on target today did he? So this means he still holds his record of scoring with every shot he's had on goal.
