Dont agree. He has got the vision for a pass. It like all teams is scoring that first goal because then the opposing team has to attack which leaves space. I would keep him at the ten. He was class in the first half bar missing the chances. If he had scored one, then the views on here would be much different. Dropped it in the second half, but so did the whole team. I would prefer to play Rashford instead of Mata on the right wing.

He's playing as a playmaker. He gets criticized for wasting opportunities(rightly so occasionally) but he is playing a high stakes game in terms of trying to open up the opposition with both his running and passing.
Didn't have a very good game. He could've just picked a pass to Lukaku on numerous occasions and Lukaku would be on goal. It's frustrating when moves like that don't come off for us.
I am struggling to believe those stats, but if true, he is dreadful in the CL and today's poor performance was actually the norm.
This. 100%. The people criticizing him don't have a clue about the position he is playing in (10). He will lose the ball thats a certainty. But eventually a pass gets through. Look at how he laid the pass for Lukaku on Saturday. Very good as a ten. Not so good on the wing.
He was very good in the first half for us tonight. Just missing the goal with those chances he should have had. Had a poor second half though, but so did the team until near the end.
Troll, he must be
Kinda reminds me of Nani. Has moments of utter brilliance and then two minutes later he goes on to do something completely daft. I guess thats what you get with these high risk/reward players
I meant long term assuming Griezmann is bought. Atm yes Mikhi will be playing the 10 as that's all we really have.
The latter I don't mind as long as Pogba is on the pitch. If not, Mata has to be there just to give some creativity. Could try out
Martial-Mikhi/Mata-Rashford
as the 4231
Hargreaves was absolutely purring about his performance. He might have got carried away but Mikhi certainly was not poor.
For me what frustated me most is his loss of possession, in particular when on counter etc
Almost seems off balanced on the turn/recieving balls under pressure majotity of the time. Although technically gifted he lacks true cutting edge, due to his lightweighted strength. He struggles to hold off challenges too much for my liking. In flashes hes great. But more often than not he is too weak. Undeniable he has fantastic vision though.

Shocking but true
Have a look for yourself if you don't believe me: https://www.transfermarkt.com/henrikh-mkhitaryan/leistungsdaten/spieler/55735
Meh performance. So much skills in sequences and yet so fecking frustrating. Basically zero strength on the ball and has an inconsistent touch. Annoying player that I believe is just not cut up for United.
He played for Shakhtar for several years in the CL. For two seasons, I think, he was a CM, playing against teams like Barcelona and Bayern. He scored some nice goals thou. I remember one he scored to Arsenal playing for Shakhtar. Its like saying play for Qarabakh and score every game. I haven't watched the game but reading the comments I come to a conclusion that people just swarm here to complain. We won 3-0 for the feck's sake. Go get drunk, be happy, stop whining like little girls.
He is playing in the 10. That means when he is in the opposition box, he has about four or five players surrounding him. He then has to see a pass and execute it in nano-seconds. So he is going to lose possession and give a bad pass. That is a fact. But eventually he gets through.
Granted, he should have scored one of his chances. But he was pretty good in the first half. Not as good in the second.

Those stats are horrendous if correct.
Even if not, I'd have him nowhere near the team in a crunch QF against a big side. I actually think I'd rather have Lingard who at least has put in a couple of excellent displays in big games.

Might lose the ball a lot but he's also probably the biggest part in us dragging defences around and opening spaces. It's the type of player that he is that he'll be frustrating at times. Though he should've scored a couple today of course. Not to mention the defensive work he does in the attacking third, but there's plenty of reasons why him and Lukaku are pretty much the only guaranteed players to start in the front 3 or 4.
Others, at least certainly myself understand the position he's playing. However he doesn't make nearly as much of a direct impact that's needed in a competition such as the CL. Yes he was unfortunate tonight but surely that can't be the case for 45 CL games. Either he's the unluckiest man in the world or he's just not that good. I'd have to say the latter is the safe bet despite trying to give him the benefit of the doubt. Add that he's really inconsistent and frustrating at times and it's not a good look for him, especially since he doesn't get on the score sheet much in the CL.
He's a good 10 no doubt. Just not CL quality at least for a side like United who have world class ambition. EPL yes he's good enough to get the job done and can make up for his inconsistencies.
The most careless, sloppy, good player I can think of. So much talent but gives the ball away with such regularity. How many times did he just run the ball into a tackle when he had options on the break. Can't figure him out at all.
Jeez, you sure you haven't confused him with Mata tonight?
Nope. I don't rate him that highly and this, despite the fact that I know he's probably our most creative player.
Hoping Griezmann replaces him next year.
Not today he didn't, he played couple excellent long balls, and about three times we got opportunity for counter he dribbled by himself instead of passing and lost the chance, and he tried to nutmeg the opponent too many times and failing rather than passing the ball
He had good 4 games previously in PL but today he did too many wrong decisions, just not consistent enough, especially compared to other in his position in the top 6
This thread is why United can't have nice things.
Miki and Mata are top players and they regularly get shit on. They rarely have bad games but if they have a mixed performance or even just an unremarkable outing, it's curtains.

I'm talking strictly CL, and I love Mikhi.
However no player is bigger than the club so don't see what's wrong in talking about getting a potential upgrade and speaking hypothetically, it makes sense why José and United were after Griezmann in the Summer. Definitely would make us stronger on the bench and starting no denying that.
It's so true - he can have a brilliant game and a shite game in the same game. Not seen many like him.
There is no chance Griezmann is being brought in to replace Miki. He's being bought (if it happens) to replace Rooney.
That is being way too nice. He has had good stats but his performances were average.
A far more committed but also less talented version of Di Maria. Similar story with him too (not so much here). Doesn't impose himself, but has good/great historical assist stats.
Care to expand? Sorry didn't really get what you meant.
As frustrating as he is, he still excites me.
I'd rather watch Mkhi nutmeg 3 people and fall over, rather than watch some of the dross over the last 3/4 years aimlessly cross balls because of a team camping in their own box.

Yeah. He'll make a great turn, but then play a poor pass or take a bit too much on. He's so close to being a brilliant player but just prone to moments of carelessness.
All season long he has been incredibly bad on counters, likes of kdb and Silva would create so much more from the position he finds himself in. He just doesn't look up enough
Very frustrating player but his moments of brilliance make him undroppable.
Isn't Griezmann a second striker? Miki isn't. So how's it an upgrade?
We got rid of Rooney without a replacement (that wasn't Lukaku). Griezmann if he comes in will be that replacement.
Though I'm not suggesting that won't necessarily result in Miki finding himself on the bench at times.
I don't and no one should.Well at least those 4 games he got his assists if you count the Stoke one
He was decent, Hargreaves was practically ready to bear his kids though.
I find Miki frustrating. You know he has that genius in him but he seems inconsistent to me. It's as if he has moments when he loses concentration. Tonight summed him up well. Brilliant moments laced with shocking moments.
This is not meant to criticize him because he is one of my favourite players in the team but to point out why I think he is not the type of number ten who can consistently dictate or dominate a game unless he really improves.

I get really annoyed when we miss chances like the one he did today that hit the post, reminds me a bit off wet ham away last season we hit the pot from 2yards out.
Mkhis a good player with an eye for a through ball but today was really poor, should have played Lukaku or even Martial down the wing way earlier. I do question his mentality though when the big games come up.
