Very good up until that situation. Would love to see him playing regularly with his new and better teammates.
 
thats what you get when you play him in the right position, he is still one of the best in the world in this role. Shame about the hand but from our perspective its irrelevant, its great to see him play like this again.
 
Moment of madness from Basti. Ruined a very solid first half with a stupid handball.
 
Disregarding that handball, he's been absolutely brilliant.

Hopefully can replicate that type of performance for us.
 
I don't get the criticism. Schweini has been massive this game. He's been bossing the midfield, had some great tackles and interceptions and been a vital part of the team - DESPITE suffering through injuries. Meanwhile Pogba is almost invisible and no one is saying anything.
 
I dont think he has enough ability on the ball to play in midfield for us, we wont zombie pass like under LvG under Mourinho with our attackers, we need someone who's able to speed up the game with fast passing, dribbling, through balls etc, Schweini plays at such low pace.
 
Let's hope he brings this form to United! LVG managed him all wrong, just like he did basically everyone.
 
Schweinsteiger still the best.. Just needs to be fit... Controls the midfield give him and attacking quartette to play with we have a good side.
 
I think at times this year he didn't return or took longer returning than needed to save energy for the Euros. Fair enough I say.

Kroos and Ozil have been far better.

Ozil has been terrible. Kroos has been just as influential though, Germany are pouring forward and the passing options are everywhere for the two.
 
I won't say he has been Germany's best player, Kroos has been better imo but the penalty aside I am pleased with his performance. Hope he stays. If fit, his skills and experience will be invaluable in midfield. Play him in a proper midfield 3 without the team doing random sideways passing and he can be very useful.
 
He's made 4/5 crucial interceptions so far. Excellent game so far, shame about the handball.
 
I thought Schweinsteiger was (mostly) brilliant. Great defensive contribution and good build up play from deep, the complete package. But he gave away a dangerous free kick and a completely unnecessary penalty, which mars his performance.
 
You're only going to get these performances out of Schweinsteiger sparingly over the season, but he's well worth sticking around. He could be fantastic as a player you bring on or start occassionally. There's still a lot left in him.
 
Shame a good performance will be marred by that shocking mistake.
 


Deutscher fußballmeister, deutscher fußballmeister, deutscher fußballmeister Bastian!
 
What the actual feck was he smoking! It would have literally been the last bit of action of the first half and Germany totally dominated.
 
Hope he announces his retirement and focuses only on us.. Still a very good player.. Definitely can do a job in the midfield when fit
 
Hopefully Mourinho can use him a bit more strategically than LVG did. The team is lacking leaders and he could be a level head in bigger games.

He also lost Griezmann before the second goal. He was his man.

Very odd performance. A really good overall game and two decisive mistakes (there were more players involved in the second goal, of course).

But he has shown that he's a complete midfielder and still capable of playing on a high level. It will be mainly a matter of fitness next season.
 
Not the player he was but still plenty to give. I think Jose can get two more 7.5/10 seasons out of him.
 
Looks the same as Carrick to me, lacks the legs and mobility for a 2 man midfield but in the cocoon of a proper 3 man midfield he might scrape another season, that's if he can stay fit.
 
Still a lot to offer and a quality player. Genuine leader and will be better next season once used properly.

It is just one game.

Way too much spotlight on tournie matches.
 
He didn't do anything at all for me last season and I predicted as much

But feck it I want to see pretty much every player we have been given another chance this season

But I think he will go this summer

I didn't want to imply anything else. The crucial sentence was "it'll be a matter of fitness". Knowing that he hasn't been in good physical shape for at least 2 years, there's definitely a huge question mark.
