He's an utter twat, in Spain I disliked him because he barely went a game without trying to break someone's legs and he's the exact same here
Plus he's not very good and it annoyed me how many people overrated his Athletic Club performances.
Behave yourself
You're an absolute clown when it comes to assessing some players. Totally blind to what actually happens on the pitch and just spewing out the same nonsense. Name all these instances of Herrera's attempted leg breaks whilst he has been in England or shut up.Should have scored his chance. I don't know why we keep missing chances. With Moyes, it was as if every opposition attack or a mistake by us got punished by a goal. With Van Gaal, it seems as if the pivotal chances are not taken again and again.
Was knackered toward the end. Basically baby sat all of Rooney's shanked touches and buzzed around him to give him an option when he did manage to control stuff though.
It is to the surprise of nobody that we looked better with the Schmidfield and Herrera 10 combo.

Rooney played far better than him today.
His technique is just not 'Spanish' enough, and he can be headless. I've liked him, but his technique isn't polished enough, and I don't see him being good enough for a serious team.
He has everything Mata doesn't, but he could do with Mata's clean touch.
Shame. Guardiola wouldn't like him that much, and I don't think Mourinho would either.
Even Pochettino, who would love his energy, would hate his headlessness and lack of consistency with the ball.

I thought he was the worst of all our midfielders. Not bad but didn't show much quality with the ball. Best work was his movement and running which tbf helped Mata and Rooney.
That's not very Joe Allen of him!

I thought he played well for 60 minutes or so and then tired.
What? He's certainly combative, but he's not a malicious player in slightest.Maybe it was his 90th minute goal against Barca
You couldn't be any more wrong.
Only time he was involved in breaking leg situation here was when Gerrard wanted to break his leg.
.... really? He likes a tackle yes, trying to break legs... no
wow, so we go around picking managers and just guessing what qualities they would like/wouldnt like in a player? Is there anybody in our team apart De Gea that would survive this test?Agree. But hes the caf's wanking material so Rooney is shit and Herrera is god.
Thought he was poor in attack and defence today. People say hes combative but i just see clumsy and rash. He needs games i think but he missed our best chance today which was a real shame.
For me he is not good enough to start but we have no better options.
Silva
Ozil
Hazard
Coutinho
Erikson
Herrera
Hm.
I would have thought not being entirely Spanish in technique is why he is quite suited to the PL. Bilbao are not a typical Spanish side.
Look at a Guardiola team, and he doesn't play players as scrappy/headless/unpolished as Herrera. Not sure what's funny there.
Mourinho likes his hard-workers, but again, not headless runners. Discipline is huge for him. He also likes his players to be reliable on the ball, because his whole system is based on tranisitions from defence to attack. Again, not sure what's funny. It's not guessing; it's looking at his past squads.
Pochettino may like him, actually, but he'd have to curb his headlessness.
As for who would be up to Guardiola/Mourinho's highest standards, in terms of a starting eleven?
Martial, De Gea, Smalling, Shaw, Schneiderlin (less so for Guardiola) That's about it.
Most of the rest wouldn't look out of place at Tottenham, Everton or even Southampton.
Dreadful post.
By the way Rooney was shit. Funny how M.E.N gave him one of the highest ratings and said he played really well, but like a lot of the players tired in the 2nd half, especially after 4-5 weeks out, that might just happen. Yet Rooney got one of the worst, he was never MoM, that was DeGea, but his buddies on BT thought different. Rooney is finished. Sorry Hazard was awful today as well, all he did was roll about. Ozil when he is bothered, I would give you and Silva, when he isn't injured.
Good game. Got stuck in and played with intent. For a player who apparently said he would leave if LvG is the manager, seemed to play well for him today. that tackle on hazard was utterly stupid though. If that was fellaini who did that, he would have been critiscized to death
He's a 7/10 player. Long term should we want a team challenging for the champions league i'm not convinced he starts.
No tackle on Hazard is stupid.
He doesn't. He can be part of a team that has its moment and wins a cup or two (like Mata) but a team that has the potential to dominate/seriously challenge for four or five years? No. Same for his mate Mata.
If LvG is stopping we will be a long way from challenging for the CL. I am afraid that is going to take years.
We aren't challenging for anything soon. I think the odd cup will be out lot. If LvG is stopping and they are determined to go with Giggs we will not be up with the best for a while. There is going to be too much upheaval.
yes that is true too :P
What is wrong with a 7/10 player? Especially when we have a captain who is 4/5. That is what happens with buyout clauses from clubs that don't want to and don't really need to sell. He will be fine. Not sure out club will be but Herrera will always put the effort in. If the clubs fails it will not be his fault, it will be idiotic decisions by the board.
I quite enjoyed the tackle on Hazard, in a strange way. He gave him a trip, then seemed to give him an almighty kicking as he was on his way down. Probably could have had a yellow card for each kick
Ozil when he's not bothered is above Herrera.
Herrera's a good PL midfielder on par with a Henderson or a fit Wilshere. No more.
we need more than 7/10 players, so spending £30m on a bunch of them doesn't seem what we want to do.
How much is a 9/10 player?
Wilshere is considered by a lot as an absolute gem. So not sure that's the put down you were looking for
Wilshere's better, in my opinion.
Well... when he's fit.
Wilshere is considered by a lot as an absolute gem. So not sure that's the put down you were looking for
Yeah I know though I don't see him as that good
. I think his injury lay-offs elevate his quality as it's so long since he's had a run of games.Maybe Cabaye is more apt.
Liverpool fan putting down a United player shocker.
