Should be among the first names on the team sheet, right next to De Gea and Valencia.
His relentless pressing couple with his technical skills make a terrific combo for the little guy.
Sarcasm mate. But an odd point to make on your part when you freely admit yourself you've barely watched him play.I know you think I'm being needlessly pedantic, but I don't understand how you can profess to have strong feelings about how good Pogba is whilst admitting on the other hand you've not seen him play enough to form that opinion. Just seems like an entire exercise in pointlessness; even if you're right its by complete chance.
And it seems especially bizarre when Herrera has been comfortably our best player in a season and team where Pogba is massively struggling.
Thank you! I thought I was going mad here. I suppose this forum proves how short people's memories are when it comes to football.What with people?
Can't we just have something nice without people overreacting? Herrera has been in better form this season but he isn't a better midfield than Pogba, it's as simple as that. In fact Herrera has been in better form than practically anyone else in the team so far bar Bailly but that doesn't make him our best player.
Anyways back to Herrera. He's really stepped it up this year and he's a few levels above what he's ever shown which is really exiting.
The guy presses the hell out of people and is very relentless. His relentless pressing couple with his technical skills make a terrific combo for the little guy. And so far out of all our players he's the one who seem the hardest the get the ball away from.
Dude has been great this season.
he would have definitely 99 in fifa in this stat...Great today.
I love how he pissed and moaned about any remotely contentious refereeing decision. Too often our players just accept whatever shite the ref throws at us and trot back to their positions. You could tell other players noticed and started to follow suit.
Just make him captain already.. Carrick is almost finished. Rooney won't pull anything else up. And Smalling well is almost on his way to play his way out. So give it to the guy who wears it on his sleeve and just oozes passion.. Motm easy..
I hope Herrera constant pressing forces Mourinho to adapt everyone to such style.
You can sometimes when he start pressing some other follow. He's usually quick to press. Hopefully Mou just say "feck it I'm getting everyone to press as crazy as Herrera".
I remember suggesting this as a newbie, even though he'd only just started with us. Think he would be good, and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that he keeps churning out good consistent performances.Came here to post this. Jose clearly rates him, the fans love him and he has to be very popular with the players. Just do it.

Yes he is playing better than Pogba at the moment, for the first time in his career, for what? 10 games? Pogba has been COMFORTABLY better than Herrera for the last 3+ seasons. it would be foolish to argue otherwise.
Great words from Jose on his address again "...we were starting to trust our defensive organisation and then in the second half, especially Herrera, Carrick and Pogba, they increased the tempo. They started pressing higher. I thought Ander brought the team to different levels of intensity and pressing."
That little fecker definitely won him over and I am really happy for him that it clicked, just wish we had more players like him so we could press all game and play more fantastic football.
I think Ander is best all round midfielder we had since Scholes and the other one is Pogba who is not even playing good atm! Just play them together and in every game:-)
You have those three reasons plus the fact that he's a very good player and one of the few players who gives his all every game. He leaves everything he has on the pitch and, even though it isn't enough sometimes, you have to admire that.Came here to post this. Jose clearly rates him, the fans love him and he has to be very popular with the players. Just do it.
I agree 100%. Only player I've seen giving it out in recent years and actually looks arsed about whats happening on the pitch. We need someone on the pitch who will give his teammates a bit of fire.Captain! That is all!!!
That link up play between him and Mata was just wonderful
I like that scooped pass he's started using. Gonna score from one very soon
and those chip passes over the top
2:19 passing rings around them

Haven't said otherwise. But he'll have a couple of bad games and he'll be average again, such is the fickleness of the cafe.It seems like you are almost offended that people think he is our best player. And I am not sure anyone meant it like that anyway, people think he is our best player since start of the season which is obviously true. He is also far better than Pogba this year.
