I'd be pretty happy with a midfield of Herrera, McTerminator and Pogba, it's as shame it hasn't happened more and that it probably never will.
It speaks volumes that you think that a good performance is a nothing performance
It wasn't a good performance by any stretch of the imagination but you're in the cult of Herrera so there's no convincing you. This is the same player btw who Willy Sagnol recently said isn't good enough for PSG and who Paul Scholes slammed for his poor passing abilities. Squad player at best.
Yeah our ex players are always getting things right, thats why they're all so successful as managers
feck sake. He's hurt you in some way, hasn't he?
This is all you have to say now?
. Look, I just don't rate the man as much as you and @Ekeke doWilly Sagnol didn't play for United and Scholes knows a thing or three about passing
I have plenty to say. But, as usual, when you're pressed to substantiate your drivel you meander onto your next vague declaration. It's a little weird you invest so much time in this thread.This is all you have to say now?
Its a bit weird you reply to my posts if this is how you view my contributions in this thread. Why waste your time?
the truth is that we have many players that we'll be stuck with for many years who need to be gotten rid of before this guy. With so many who have to leave Ander is someone we unfortunately cannot lose. Mismanagement of the highest order that his contract is expiring. And this is why we will fall further before we improve. Dark days indeed
Oh wow, you think you contribute?
Doesnt know much about the current team it sounds like
This is all you have to say now?
Yeah you have a severe bias against him and when he does well you'll never admit it, making your posts irrelevant
Yeah let's listen to Scholes, the man who thinks Young has been a good right back over the years and reckons we shouldn't get a sporting director and should just 'focus on signing players.' hmmm, right.
Feck me, did he say that?
When he came on the tempo increased slightly for a spell before if fizzled out and mediocrity returned.
He's always been neat and tidy. But we need more than just being the Spanish Tom cleverley. Need more forward passes and creativity. Can't fault his effort or attitude though. With the talk of so many players being sold he wouldn't be top of the list for me. He's good enough to play 30 games of a season.
He came on and passed the ball forward a lot. He also has our 2nd most passes forward from midfield after Pogba. More than most midfielders that are suggested on here as a new signing
Cute. Don't be an ass just because I don't rate your man that much. Scholes is wrong on a lot of things, but he criticized Herrera on his passing, something he actually knows something about
I've praised Herrera and I think he should be a squad player. I just don't revere him as if he's some football deity like you do
Nobody does. We're just capable of saying he came on and did well. You arent.
Im saying he had zero impact and thats not a falsehood.
I actually thought he was good. Although his positioning was a bit unconvincing, he won the ball back a fair amount, and his passing from deep was spot on.
What kind of impact did you expect?
Oh just the one that gets repeated on here a lot, 'makes everyone else on the pitch better', 'drives the team forward' etc, some Keano fantasy
He’s our second best midfielder. Madness he’s about to walk away for free when Pogba clearly wants to go too. McTominay will be our best midfielder if both of them leave.
There was actually a little bit of improvement in our play when he came on. We were able to move the ball with more zip, and he provided us with much needed control and drove us forward with some excellent passes between the lines. On a day where most of our players were awful, he defo added something from such deep position.
Then you didnt watch. The commentators even pointed it out that he did
He didn't alter the course of the game much and he didn't worsen it. Nowadays not doing the 2nd part is considered a positive.
He’s not going to be that big of a loss in truth. He’s just better than other options that shouldn’t even be in the squad.
He's the only midfielder from our whole group who I think Sir Alex would've loved (McTominay maybe but not really convinced he'll ever be more than a squad player but whatever). He's the one who we should be trying hard to keep, yet he's the one who is almost definitely gone while dross like Matic will probably stay. Says it all.
What impact exactly? We didn't score, we didn't gain control of the game, we had useless possession and conceded 7 minutes after he came on. Im not blaming him for the goal or the result but we remained headless chickens even after he came on and that was the story of the match overall, one of the worst fecking performances in recent years.

Passed backwards a lot.
We had control of the game, they had a couple of shots and pounced on an individual error. What more do you want to show you have control of the game than over 3 times as many shots and 65% of the ball?
We played some nice passing moves in that second half, we just couldnt get our shots inside the frame of the goal
What are you on.We had meanigless possession with no clue what to do,how to break up opponent.Huddersfield should have scored a second one,because our whole performance was pathetic.
He brought nothing,Huddersfield just dropped deeper and searched for a opening and mistake which appeared and took a chance and scored and theirs gameplan worked and our change with Herrera didnt.
He didnt make an impact it just seemed that way because of Huddersfield change of approach and playing deeper,with him having possession mostly,building up stats which again for a millionth time worked for them,not for us,we were headless chickens.
Stop making him better than he is.And again did you saw his attempted shot,what a shot or his few passes when he started limping around and almost injured himself,what a player.
He can be a squad player for future but not a first team player.
Agree.
As said in the article, sums up our current mess.
The way Ander has been treated in a nutshell is how our club has been treated by the Glazzers and Woodward.
cnuts.
cnuts.
Who the hell is cutting onions in here???
