I didn't think he was bad at all not compared to Mata anyway. I hope van Gaal sticks with him in the starting line up.

He was better than Mata and much better than Rooney, but a fairly meh performance from him.
Thought he played well and helped dominate the game. There wasn't much space in the middle though with City playing so many defensive players and defensive mids. Both him and Mata (and any attacking mid) needs a striker who makes runs in behind to stretch teams. Martial up front does that and Mata was at his best in those games Martial was up top. Rooney just doesn't do that.
lol I know you're joking but the way things have been, we would see Herrera dropped from the squad for a 3rd time after getting himself back into it.
There's no way he would/could force a pass because LVG would tell the media it was poor decision making and obviously no one would blame Rooney for sh|t.
To be fair when Mata has games like that most of the Caf want him out the team.
Anyway about today.. I thought Herrera played a blinding pass through to Sterling. Did ok apart from that.
I really want to see him get a good run in the team with Martial leading the line.
I think Ander has an affinity with fans. Other interviews have shown he has supported fans when they have had issues with their clubs in Spain. I am not sure some players feel that way. Some can be rather detached.
Yes Ander 
What a top bloke.
Fantastic guy. He loves the club and I'm pretty sure there's not a Manchester United fan who doesn't love him. Great signing in every possible way.
Will he ever play CM again? He could potentially be our long-term partner for Schneiderlin.
Crystal Palace 0:0 Man Utd
He's been one of the worst players on the pitch today, in my opinion.
His last 3 games has been as bad as Rooneys at no 10 this year.
Will it kill us to play Mata there?

2nd worst on the pitch today just behind Darmian.
When did he stop turning and running forward? That was the best thing about him, controlling the ball in midfield quick turn and he's off.
Poor performance, should've been taken off instead of Mata in my opinion.
He was terrible. Probably played more back passes today than he has done in his whole career.
I don't think he has enough guile or goal threat to play as a #10, especially in tough, tight games, disappointing from him today.
Mata was poor as well, not to mention he was providing no help for our RB. Too many players were poor today, but we can only make 3 substitutions.
Quite simple, once he fully understood the philosophy.
Sadly, he was really, really bad today. Don't think he has what it takes to be in that role. Nice guy and all that, but when you can't beat a man with a dribble you don't offer enough in the modern game where teams are so fit and organized.
Mata would've been moved to the middle anyways. Mata was still better than Herrera, albeit not great either.
While Wayne is in the side, we will always have the problem of other players being shunted all over the place. Wayne should have been dropped. Young wide and Martial up front. Not a great performance today. This manager is sucking all the life out of our team. They are terrified of taking a risk. He says they can, but they can't really.
Yeah he was bad today. He'll get dropped after one bad game too, and Rooney will still start.
Sorry for bringing Rooney into another thread

Probably will. He hasn't been great tbh. Rooney has been bad all season. This dressing room is going to fracture soon if the manager isn't careful. BFS and Mata must be getting fed up being substituted all the time.Yeah he was bad today. He'll get dropped after one bad game too, and Rooney will still start.

Not lived up to his billing in the past few games, seems to have gone in to his shell and become a little sloppy.
Unfortunately that's exactly the truth.
Players like Herrera are terrified of taking risks because they know they'll get relegated to the bench if they do.
This. Post of the year.
He's a better than average playmaker but nowhere close to the likes of Lampard, Gerrard or Scholes. And that is the quality standard we should aspire for as United fans.
He is massively over hyped on here. Personally I don't get the love fest.
Funny, he is playing probably his worst football since he came here and yet he is starting games and playing 90 minutes. When he was all creative and scoring goals he was regulary dropped.
Don't get the hype either he must be decent on Fifa of FM or something.
Looks decent at times but lots of games where he doesn't stand out at all. Very very poor today and needs to cut out the diving soon as he gets tackled inside the box before he builds a reputation.
Some of the hype is over the top but I think many are fond of him due to the dynamic and progressive nature of his play which made a big impression on fans after years of a slow and quite static set up.
He isn't a #10 in my book and looked much more comfortable in our midfield last season, I am fond of him but you can't really defend his recent form. We are quickly running out of people to drop though and when we have played well (during the entire LVG era) he has generally been involved and impressed.
I would hope he gets paired with Morgan in a midfield two on Tuesday and next weekend. The selling of all those strikers in the summer and not replacing them is impacting on this side. Rooney is running the club by the look of it. Amazingly the manager doesn't know Martial's best position, absolutely unbelievable.
I hate this
He never says such things for someone like Rooney for example. If you are going to do something, at least be consistent with all the players.

He's right, but that is disgusting. He is picking on the easy targets. I bet he does that in the dressing room as well. Darmian will have been ripped to pieces. Yet Wayne gets away with it.
He's an idiot alright.
"I asked Martial why he overhit that pass for our beloved Wayne and he couldn't answer why. Probably because he doesn't speak English. So we in club agreed to give Wayne bonus for this week."
What chance is he talking about ??
Quit bullying easy targets like Ander.
PS: He hasn't been great lately though. In a bit of a rut, much like Darmian. In the red zone perhaps?
