Still think he is at his best in a midfield 3 but not as a 10.
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.

I'd say 100m now.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?
Typical caf.
''Our players never do tactical fouls, or show some aggressiveness, all of them so soft and a bunch of pussies''.
One player does what was lamented here and missing for a few weeks now, oh he is such a twat, hate him, cnut
I love him for doing that. Rather have that than players who hide and we have plenty of them. He's bothered about not winning.Typical caf.

This is a genuine question, what is the tangible difference between a no.10 and one of the more offensive positions in a midfield 3? without going into fifa level generalisations.Still think he is at his best in a midfield 3 but not as a 10.
I like him but I think we need better players.
Exactly the only midfielders that should be rotated are Bastian/Michael because of their age. Rotation is only for big squads, take note LvG. How on earth do you expect them to build up any rhythm and understanding if you keep changing it. Lets just hope Ander and Morgan can now stay fit for the rest of the campaign.How about we stick to the current setup for more than a game at a time. Its okay switching out Bastian and Carrick but to keep fecking about with our midfield on a game to game basis is annoying and builds zero consistency.
People in here expect a player to come in the team and give a 9/10 performance after being out of it for a few months.
You keep talking about his headlessness and telling Mourinho would not like him. Have you seen Ramires play and he was a starter under Mourinho.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.
Herrera is basically our Willian, very underrated, just needs to stay fit and be put in a different more aggressive philosophy/system, the same with Scheiderlin, both players like to press higher up the pitch , and they win a lot of balls which can give us great positions to start attacks unlike when we are too passive and wait for the opponent to lose the ball and we start attack from the deep. This is just shit system and even though these too doesnt fit it that well they are still one of our best players, dont know what ppl are expecting..
I think he's more of our Ramires.
he had a poor spell in the middle of the game, Hazard was giving him hard time but he was good at the beginning of the game and at the end as well, winning the ball and being creative. 6,5/10, 6 being the standard..Was poor yesterday, does get over rated by our fans.
he seems lately like at the start of his campaign here, more in preseason when he was so erratic and full of energy but couldnt make his tackles right and misplaced passes, he was still a good performer like he was against chelsea yesterday but it only took him a few weeks to cut this out of his game and he was great since, now he's kinda back to it but he only got back to the side, not sure if he's fully fit yet, Schneiderlin will certainly help him to get into form like he does to everyone else around him. I'd like us to build that core of midfield from players with a good tackling ability, full of legs and some creativity as well, might wanna replace Carrick in the summer with someone younger as well to rotate with SweinsteiggerHe needs to relax a bit more when he has the ball. Gets too excited at times despite having good technique, which results in him misplacing simple passes at times. I do like his tenacity though.

Love him. Hopefully he improves. He's saying all the right things there and I like how annoyed he seems to be.
