His worst performance in a United shirt
He has regressed so much this season from last season, it's absurd. Didn't we have a thread last season arguing that he was the most complete midfielder in the EPL? Tom Cleverley or Darren Gibson would have been much more useful than him tonight.
Wasn't it made by a very respected poster here too?That most complete thread was almost as moronic then as it is now, in fairness.
My biggest concern is he seems to have the creativity driven out of him by Vangle who constantly kept dropping him last season for trying to pull off risky passes.He's regressed massively under Van Gaal.
I saw through Herrera a long time ago. Tried to convince myself that he could make the step up but has no range of passing, can't tackle and doesn't look after the ball well enough. We have been fooled by a few fancy touches into signing a mid-table La Liga player I am afraid.
A rotten performance last night. His worst for us by a distance. I still think he has a lot to offer us though. It's been a season to forget for the whole team. We have no stand out performers other than Martial. No cohesion or resemblance of a team. It's been difficult to judge the majority of the squad, and if they are just sapped of all confidence and motivation under the manager or if they are poor players. I still maintain the squad is better overall than it is currently performing.
I get that nobody likes the manager but at some point you have to look at these players and say regardless of who is in charge, are they "United" players? I would love Herrera to do well, has a great attitude but like I said in my post earlier, what attributes does he have which meet the standards requires at Utd? Doesn't have the passing range of a Scholes or even Carrick/Rooney, doesn't dominate a midfield like a Keane/Robson/Ince and doesn't have the pace or dynamism around the box to be a significant attacking threat. I imagine he would be a fantastic 5-a-side player but unfortunately unless he fancies turning out for Inter Me Nan on a Monday night at Powerleague don't know what use he is
He's turned into the kinda player we easily laugh at. He's pointless, can't control, can't pass and concedes a stupid amount of dangerous FKs.

Yes, I am really disappointed in him after last season. He is having shocking season, if he was playing for other team I would laugh at him how bad he is. And I am his fan.
I just think he is stupid in general, his interviews, his reactions on the pitch, I like the guy but still he really looks dumb at times.
If we'd had a Keane-type leader on the pitch when Noble carried him off the pitch a few weeks ago, and Noble had had more than just the physio to deal with, maybe Herrera would have been better last night when back face to face with Noble. I know he was sh!t but I look for reasons. I think we really need a strong character in the engine room. Someone like Keane or Robson would be brilliant but that is just so very far from what we have now. It would help players like Herrera play with more composure and confidence.
Everyone seems to have regressed under LVG, he's looking lost on the pitch, like almost everyone else he also takes to much time on he ball and overthinks what to do.
Would like to see him under other manager, think he would look much different player than this one atm.
I also hope he can improve under different manager but I think some players have actually regressed, or stoped developing at important age during these past 2 or 3 years considering our shite football under both managers, which could lead them to never fullfiling their potential.
Can only hope that's not the case
Really like his understanding with Mata, he's shiwed that can play much quicker and has both good passing range and nose for goal when coming to the box or around the box. But as are the others under LVG he looks too restricted and conservative atm which makes him and the team worse than they really are.
