Well, it's easy to point out today's first half. That performance hadn't been played at the point of our discussion.
We'll have to disagree. Herrera hasn't been brilliant, in my opinion.
But I like him a lot, and think he can be in the future.

He might get sucked into things and rush passes/kick it clear under little pressure, but when we have possession like this we need players with the balls to carry it forward and force it. Rooney and Fellaini aren't doing it. Januzaj and Di Maria are playing as bad as they can and at either side of that you've got Carrick and van Persie who can't do a great deal more.
It's not a debate to win or lose. Just talking about how it's easy to say Herrera was playing against easier opposition but fact remains that he did very well in those matches and Fellaini had the same opportunity and was bang average throughout.
Herrera not allowed?
Cant get in the team ahead of Fellaini

He mustn't be completely fit. He's someone who simply has to start.
The ball was moving in slow motion without him.
The lack of Herrera in our side is baffling.
fecking frustrating that he's not playing.
Hererra would add so much to our pedestrian style. Bemusing to see him marginalised.
If we still insist on playing that shit 4141 then atleast put him alongside Fellaini and move Rooney up top if we're insisting so much on playing Rooney ahead of RVP.
He obviously isn't fit to play, there is no other explanation.
Does Van Gaal have a daughter?
The less he plays the better he gets. He'll be up to the Zidane level if he doesn't play in the next couple.
Surely he would have come on if we hadn't scored.
Assuming he's fit I'd like to see him back in the starting line-up, but I doubt he will be against Arsenal. I expect he'll replace Fellaini against Hull.

Yeah ok.
He must be injured. No other reason why he didn't come on after that turd.
Apart from his last game from us he was very good so far.
Less Fellaini more Herrera please. Put Ander, Mata and Di Maria centrally and we will be fine.
And the more Fellaini plays and does nothing, the more he valiantly battled his way through, executing any evidence of Herrera being positive for the side.
I genuinely miss him. He was growing to be my favourite player in this team.
He's the new Kagawa

You're having a mare here. If you couldn't see he had a very good start to the season, then you're blind. Up until the West Brom game he was doing really well.
Van Gaal obviously doesn't agree with you. He wasn't a Van Gaal signing of course.
He's the new Kagawa
You're attention seeking here.
He's the new Kagawa
Except that pretty much everyone except you thinks he was one of our best players whenever he played(apart from the last game when he played injured). You're like anti MadWinger.
Van Gaal played him in every game up until his injury.
We need him back, look clueless and laboured without him. Hopefully he gets a start after the international break.
He will probably start against Arsenal
Really hope so. They're not a physical side at all, so the 'need' for Fellaini is lessened very much. Get him and Di Maria playing the ball at as high a pace as we can, and pray (if he's playing) van Persie shows up for a chance or two.
Has to be. Cannot fathom why van Gaal wouldn't want to use him. He brings so much energy to the team and was arguably our best player before getting injured.
Hopefully he is up and running for after the break, we need him back.
He's the new Kagawa
Very bad taste, mate.
Herrera is among the best midfielders we have and he deserves to play when possible.
He's the new Kagawa
the sheer ridiculousness of this post. He's shown more than Kagawa did already in his short spell here.He's the new Kagawa
He had more good games in 2 months than Kagawa in 2 years.
I like him a load. Thought the choice not to play him today was the right one though: against massive cloggers like Palace he'd just get bullied until he beds into the league more, it's happened in earlier games. Fellaini suits thosesort of games much more. Imagine we'll be seeing Herrera vs l'Arse.
I think that is the sort of game that will suit Ander. Also he will have had two more weeks recuperation. Hopefully we will have some actual defenders back by then as well.
We could have used his ability to shift the gears in midfield today when we tried to break on Palace.
Van Gaal must be daily blind that he doesn't see on the training ground what Ander brings to our play... Carricks back and here we go we wittnessed the best of Zombie performances...
