He's a good player but I don't like the idea of him being the deepest midfielder in our team, picking the ball up from our defenders. He's a much worse passer than Carrick. Not entirely sure what the logic behind playing him deep and Carrick further forward is.

You're totally embarrassing yourself here. Both players misplaced some passes and Schneiderlin showed complete opposite, what you claim is simply not true. Watch the game next time and stop being biased...

Schneiderlin with his energy is better used all around the pitch rather than going for balls deep, there is true in that.
 
I'd say he was underwhelming. Will give him time to impress though, obviously. Gradual improvements would be good.

Better in gaining possession then actually keeping it, but I think he'll learn that as he goes along.

That's what we are missing though. He made lots of strong tackles today and threw his weight about all over the midfield. Once he settles in his job will be to do just that and play his teammates in.

Why would I biased against Schneiderlin? I'm delighted we got him and fully expect him to be a mainstay of the team for years to come. He's a good passer but not a great passer, I didn't think that was particularly contentious. He has lots of other qualities to compensate.

He's good passer not at all much worse than Carrick as you suggested, that's what just annoys me mate. You know it's not true or is simply Blind. It's like with Keane a lot of people think he was just about good passer because he was known for his tackling and leadership, he was great passer and not really that much between him and Carrick who is massively overrated here by some people.

Neither of the players, Schneids and Carrick, had a brilliant game, btw great to see Van Gaal getting at least one thing right subbing Sweiny on for Carrick, both are too slow and good passers, would have been a mess with the two at the base, not enough movement an aggression, perhaps that's what Steiger brings into the team little bit of Carrick with more aggression
 
It's a bit of a weird thing to get annoyed about but whatever floats your boat.

Schneiderlin's passing isn't a patch on Carricks man. It's not even debatable. Schneiderlin is a decent passer, and has a good passing range, but it's certainly not a strong point of his like tackling.
 
He improved later in the game. Was shaky just like the whole team was at the start. The defensive side of his game is good.
 
Agree with the comment about him being better at winning possession than keeping it. Having watched him on tour as well as today's match, his technical ability isn't on the same level as most of the midfield players we have been used to seeing over recent years. On a rainy night in November away from home I think he'll be an asset but not convinced he should be starting home games unless he is alongside Herrera.
 
He was shaky. But his ability to break up play makes him a game changer, if he can improve his overall play he'll be a good buy.

Don't see how can anyone (bar @m1y2) can disagree with this. Schneiderlin is a good passer, but Carrick is miles better in that aspect.

I think that Schneiderlin was quite bad at passing in the first half but later improved. Still it was a very solid defensive performance from him.

Still think that the best way forward is a midfield of him, one of Carrick or Schneiderlin and Herrera. It would have everything you want from a midfield.
 
Shaky start, but grew into the game. Was bossing it by the end.
 
Yes shaky start then settled down and had a decent game. This is what I like about him, he always looks to improve. He will grown into our team well I reckon. Better him starting by learning how to play in the team and getting better as we go on, rather than straight out sensational and then never being seen again like Di Maria.
 
Good ball winner and he he can develop into the player that regains control and then immediately can play the killer pass forward we are in business...
 
He's not known for being an incisive penetrative passer, although I'm sure training with Carrick and Schweinsteiger every day will do him no harm.

What he provides is pressure from midfield, he's got a real presence and you saw how many times he forced errors out of the spuds midfield.

Also that was his first game of real football at United. Let's give him a few before we rip into fees and better options and what he's shit at eh? I think he's a real adrenaline player and will be massive for us in big games.
 
Tbh his passing was what i expected it to be, he is trying to add the more creative passes to his game as that's required for LvG's philosophy, but it's not what made him the player most of us wanted.

That being said his passing should get better as he settles in the team, let's not forget early on spurs were putting in a lot of pressure as our front 4 basically had no impact for 30 minutes or so.
 
This guy will be a top midfielder for us, not seen anyone press like that since Fletch in 2009

Is he really? If anything, it's comments like this that are embarrassing (although the idea of embarrassment on a football forum is a bit dodgy to begin with.)

A bit of a shaky start but he really grew into the game. Five tackles, three interceptions to combine with Carricks single tackle and four interceptions is fine work for a midfield combination. As the season goes on I really see Carrick moving forward into more of an 8 role to dictate play while Schniederlin plays a floating holding player. They will get there, it isn't ready yet.

I have a strange feeling that Schniederlin is going to be getting the sort of praise Carrick has been getting at the end of the season and a lot of users will see the way Morgan's defensive game is probably the more viable going forward than the luxury that Carrick brings. They will be an excellent combination if Van Gaal would stop gimping his system to include virtually no instinctive creativity.
 
Great to see him settle down and find his feet in the game. Will have a big season in my opinion.

This guy is pretty good. Love his attitude and energy. Got a feeling he could be our most important player this season.
 
looks fully integrated into the team now. will play a crucial role in controlling matches for us with his presence in midfield (if he stays fit - and I hope he does!!)
 
He was very good in the second half. Him and Schweinsteiger seem to have a very good understanding.
 
Really like the look of him, especially alongside Schweinsteiger. Gonna be an important player for us.
 
Improvement on the last game, he just needs to have better awareness of what's behind him. He's admitted this weakness during the tour and said he wants to learn that from Schweinsteiger.
 
Thought he was superb. Pressed and tackled well & got forward at times. Brings a balance to our midfield, I think he's vital if we're going to have a successful season.
 
Started off a bit shit but became a beast when Schweinsteiger and Herrera came on. We looked rarely in trouble with them three in midfield.
