He probably won't play under Ole either. I don't see what the difference is. There are better players than him on the team.
Funny feeling he’ll start tonight and we’ll rest one of Herrera or Matic
Technically really good but what's his best position? We already have a problem having so many attacking players which he's not going to get in front of. The midfield 3 appears to be quite well balanced and we have just paid 50m for Fred so he's behind him too. Positive for him is a least he's on the bench and getting some if not limited game time. It's up to him now......
Herrera possibly and rest Matic against Reading.
I do hope so. I think he's a better passer than Fred and Herrera. Doesn't slow down play as much as the other midfield players either. He just lacks a bit of physicality and is sometimes a bit naive. Fred hasn't really impressed me so far so I think Pereira deserves a start alongside Pogba and Matic. If not this game then the one against Reading.
He's good at everything. Problem is he doesn't have the opportunity to make his stamp into the first team. He can be a good DLP or Advanced playmaker.
Not sure he's good at everything tbh otherwise there would be a long list of clubs that would want that type of player ironically including us. For his technical ability on the ball should be our Silva x2 type of player but is a million miles off either of those. I think Utd are hopeful that he starts to show some of that and although limited, it's for him in training or if he gets the opportunity to show it on the pitch. The other problem for him is I think we fancy Gomes more.
Would be a bad game to do so as away as Newcastle isn't the place to start rotating. He should start on the bench with Sanchez there as well. Both of them could be needed to turn a tricky game but we should be starting the same team who started against Bournemouth, if Spurs can play the same squad game after game with little variations here and there then I think we should be able to too.
Don’t Newcastle have the worst home form in the league?
He is tactically inept which means all his good attributes is useless. Slow , weak and not even that creative. People here talk like he is pirlo / xavi / veratti 2.0 just because he did well in free season against farmers.
Not sure if they do, but I guarantee you that even if they do they'll suddenly become twice the side they were once we show up.
I guess you have being watching him since he was 14?
Genuine question, in a non sarcy way, but does anyone here think he's better than or has more potential than, say, the likes of Gribbin or Gomes? He's 23 now, really if he was going to make it here he should be finding himself on the bench or starting often for us
I think he might get a start today - given how Newcastle play I hope Ole might rest Matic for Spurs and play Pereira tonight.
They are going to sit back in a Rafa disciplined setup and try and nick a goal or counter. I feel we have good enough players to contain them and hope we opt for a Herrera, Pereira, Pogba midfield

No one seems to know what his position is and if he doesn’t get a run in the team this season he will surely be on his way in the summer.
I think he has the most potential to score a screamer out of those players and based on what he's done when hes on the pitch this season he's one of our more determined ball winners after Ander.
Admittedly thats his numbers from a small amount of playtime so if he plays more he may win the ball less, like with Fellaini.
I think you're under valuing the defensive side of a midfielder's job. Andreas has shown us that for now he can be counted on to be a ball winner in the premier league the others havent.
Weren’t most top players starting regularly at 23? If not before? No doubt someone will come up with exceptions.
Haven't heard of Gribbin in a while. Any idea how he is doing for the U23's?
I think Pereira is a tad overrated. He is a player with lot of skills, but I don't know if he has it all together to be given a regular role in the midfield. Another loan where he played regularly in his favorite position might have been better for him. I am skeptical about him making it here.
He's definitely closer to the full team, yes. Right now, probably a better player than both. Whether he has more potential? Probably not. Although Gribbans injuries a have really hurt him.
I'm not sure anyone really knows where to play him, he seems to get pushed over to the left hand side quite a lot, but I believe he would be most effective in a central role, not as a DM, but more as a creative midfielder. I know some people think he is ''not creative' or 'overrated', but has hardly been given a game, let alone a run in the team. If we had two box to box midfielders either side of him I think we would see him at his best. Play Pogba in a free role, and Rashford/Martial/Sanchez/Lingard vying for the front two positions. Not sure this would ever happen, but would love to see it against Reading. He is also a deadball specialist.
Gomes is one of the most talented kids to come through our academy so no, he probably doesn't have more potential than him. As for Grubbing I'd probably say yeah he does
Angel is easily more talented. Gribbin would have been a similar level talent id say but who really knows now as he's been injured for so long. Andreas is better a bit deeper though and a lot better defensively than them.
Not a fan of youngsters. I'd rather loan them out and get a proven player in.
Then you're supporting the wrong club.
Looked pretty good in La Liga especially at Granada, I think he would be useful for us
Why is that?
I think he can be a very good player for us, especially being played.
But if not I would rather sell him, how many times can we loan him?
Would love to see him play more, certainly should be given a start, even Fred was granted one. But I think there's still time for him.
Definitely the wrong club for you. It’s built on bringing through youth players.
Because developing the youth is part of the club's heritage. I'm surprised you even need to ask...
Ok, thanks then I'll change clubs.
I am aware of that, that was a once in a lifetime generation, I know people like to dream but it's not happening again anytime soon.

What are you on about? We’ve had a youth product in literally every single squad since god knows when. It’s in the DNA of the club. I just read you want Lukaku to start over Rashford? That says it all really.
Obviously I am, I just think chances are minimal that those will turn in to anything and then you end up buying anyway.
the shed end is that way mate --->
I'm not saying it's not possible to have someone come through and become a player. That's just not gonna cut it if we want to compete with buyers like City and literally everyone else. Lukaku is the more proven player so yeah I want him to start over Rashford.
It hasn't been a bad recipe for them.Please familiarise yourself with the history of the club in full before making another post.

We've literally just won 3 games on the bounce scoring 4 a ganme with 3 academy players starting.
I understand your pessimism and it has some merit, but right now is literally the worst time to say it out loud.
.... What?
It's not easy for players like him to get in with all the names we have ahead of him. I don't believe Ole will play him either.
