Nah I'd like us to use him how City uses Fernandinho and then play two attack minded midfielders in front . He's made for the role . Remember when we went to Stamford Bridge a couple of years and bossed them in midfield? Who was in DM that day? Yep Herrera . He can still press from there but I feel in the advanced positions we need a bit more quality in the passing. Fred will give us the same pressing qualities as Herrera but better passing
No doubt that could work well and I'm a big fan of Herrera but I still think we need to replace Carrick, let alone Matic. Maybe that could be Fred or Pereira but Jose doesn't seem to think so. Today when Fulham actually started to have a go we needed someone to take control of the game in midfield and start dictating the play. Ok Fulham never really hurt us but they were having much more of the ball and we seemed to revert to that team that can't keep the ball when pressed for a short period leading up to the penalty.
Agree that Fred should help us with the pressing game.
