Do not think he's ready for England, the press will destroy him if we are at a stage where we are counting on him.
Yeah, I did say it's his worst performance for us but that is expected from a young player. There are other players on that pitch, especially in midfield that should know better i.e Bruno.Whilst I agree, he tried some extremely silly passes at 3-2 in the last minutes that turned over possession far too easily. He'll learn, but he needs some serious help in there with recruitment this summer.
This would never happen in a midfield with Rice and Bellingham.Do not think he's ready for England, the press will destroy him if we are at a stage where we are counting on him.
It's mental tiredness rather than physicalOne game a week?

I would get him out of the team. No need to put any scar tissue on him in a suffering team.
Let the players on hundreds of thousands a week step up.

Not only that, we also looked at our BEST with that pairing as Fred was the one that effectively reduced the space that Casemiro needed to cover, and helped to progress the ball as well - this was the most balanced I have seen us in the last 5 years at least, a combination of Oleball with some actual control over the midfield.We play a 6, a 10 and a something, and the something no matter if it is McTominany, Mainoo, Mount from the start of the season invariably barely touch the ball and spends all their energy trying to press and pick up second balls.
Eriksen and Cas for a spell last season, then a small period when he played Cas and Fred together as a genuine pair, it worked, but he can't stop himself from going back to this set up.
It's the system, it's not functional.He was okey, I can take that from Mainoo. The shit from 2 senior midfielders alongside is unacceptable though.
This season is a loss. I'd say let's keep him getting those needed minutes. It's like sending our youth on loan to lower League team, where not everything is perfect.
THe next manager may not have style that suit him also. And then what?
feck me. WUM?Everyone seems to think he's a Real talent, with world class potential.
But I see a bin bag full of shite.
What am I missing?
I really don't think he is. He should be where he is being played but just with a competent midfield and team supporting him. Lampard was a B2B almost AM, that's not where Mainoo is playing at all, he's in the right areas given his skillset but he needs a De Jong or Veratti behind him more than anything. He's also a kid so will have plenty more bad games in him.Some bright moments, but mostly a poor game from him today. Found himself ahead of the ball in positions that don't really suit his strengths quite a lot.
I'm concerned with how he's being used tactically. Stylistically, he's something like a De Jong or Verratti type, but Ten Hag wants him to be Frank Lampard for some reason. I think I'll go to my grave not knowing what the feck we're trying to do with our midfield this season.
That's where ETH wants him to play.Why was he playing so high up for 2/3 of the game?
