Fred was supposed to be that one. Was surprised he did not play. Ole might take this giving youth a chance too far. Mc tominay also has already signed a new contract without earning anything.

To be honest I dont know what to make of Fred.What his main attributes are and what his general playing style is.
There were various views regarding what type of player he was when he arrived here.One minute I'm reading he's a box-to-box midfielder,the next our own Kante and another poster claimed him to be similar to Modric/Scholes.
All I know is that,presently,he's been severely underwhelming.

Not sure why he was rested when he barely played in the first few months.

That's not how fatigue and accumulation of it works.

Although it's also to do with his style. His legs, tenacity and intensity cannot be sustained 10 games in a row yet in reality we need him playing like he has for every single game until the end of the season.
 
Think today was another piece of evidence we need him renewed. Bar him and Matic we have no midfielders who can play in the pivot.
 
We really missed him.
No way we would not have won with him.
The real problem though is he cannot play every match and Ole has to rotate.
The obvious issue is there is no other player who can match his ability.
Fred would have been better than Andreas.
Ole said it was a team error instead of blaming Andreas for the goal.
Refreshing to hear rather throwing specific players under the bus.
 
"12 months ago people wanted me sold. Then they hoped Fred would replace me and claimed he is a better version of me. Then the gaffer suggested we have no bite in midfield. There will be more victims of doubt in the coming years but King Ander will reign supreme"

The guy just gets the club or more that this just a guy that will always fight for whatever team he is in. Maybe not the most gifted but, that fight/agression/passion he has on the pitch is what we need more of, Rashford is getting there, so is Lindelof I think, if Pogba / Martial get a bit more edge to them and will be rare we will be out fought on the pitch.

My favourite player in the club at the moment. He does really get it.

So so important today, you can see what we missed against Burnley from his performance today.

What? I thought he was below average today.
 
Game of two halves from Ander, I thought he had a good first half but several sloppy moments in the second.
 
Other than that one time he got caught in possession after our corner which resulted in a dangerous break for Leicester, he was very good.
 
Man of the match for me. So important in MF disrupting the other team and getting a foot in. Works his socks off.

You can really see a difference between him and Andreas on tuesday.
 
Among our best players today.
5 successful tackles (most by anyone on the pitch)
9 attempted tackles (most by anyone on the pitch)
4 interceptions (tied for most by anyone on the pitch)
4 blocks (most by anyone on the pitch)

That was actually poor from Shaw to give the ball to him especially as he was already surrounded by 2 players and by the time he got the ball, Herrera was between 3 Leicester players

I must of been watching a different game, as Herrera was dreadful today.

Yeah, you must have been because dreadful he definitely wasn’t.

Though he wasn’t as good (average performance by his standards I’d say) as he’s been recently but such was the performances out there today, that he was probably still in the “better half” of performers on the day.

DDG motm for me.

He was very good today. Man of the match for me.
 
Probably the only outfield player that deserves any praise for today's game. In a match where none of our players look like they could keep possession, he was the one that showed composure.

I beg to differ. He got caught in possession or gave it away nearly every time he had the ball. Some fans expectations have been lowered so much, its quite scary actually.

Could be, not 100% sure what went on before he got surrounded and lost the ball.

He wasn't good on the ball today but that bold is complete rubbish.

That almost describes everyone’s performance out there today, tbf :lol:

I don’t think he was anywhere near as bad as you’re saying but let’s just agree to disagree

He’s the only player that deserves praise, what kind of lunacy is that? :lol:

Not the goal scorer and the player that created it.

Pogba and Rashford had a good moment for the goal but both had poor games IMO. Herrera had a good 90mins is what I'm trying to say.

Judging by the replies it seems I'm being too harsh, but hey. I'm just happy with the win either way :D

Oh right well that makes more sense then. I don’t think Pogba had a terrible game though.
 
He is such a vital cog in MF. So important. He puts the squeeze on the opposition.
 
Was the only player who was composed on the ball today. As always, does a very good defensive job. You could see why we were struggling without him last game.

Totally agree. I think if he had started last tuesday, we would have beaten them.
