Loved the way the midfield understood each other when they were in defensive mode. He and BFS closed down really well and provided lots of platforms for passes. And he scored too!
Showed a little more than he has done to this point and generally seemed more confident and decisive. Add that to his defensive tenacity and he could become a crucial part of the team if he can keep it up. I rated him the same as Herrera but he just misses out on MOM to him.
My stream was a bit choppy and I didn't get to watch the full game but imo Schneiderlin to me is one of those players that you have to have in your team because of his energy, physical graft and movement AHEAD of other things like passing etc.
That's to say I can forgive him if he's a poor/limited passer because he makes that up through sheer dynamism in other aspects. The fact he's not a bad passer at all makes it even better.
He is going to be such a top star for us....wonderful performance. And no..I don't expect it every time...but it's there and the consistency will come from experience and age. He is going to be a top top player.
Solid performance. Nice little pass and move interchanges that helped move the ball around the pitch; more dynamic today than in his previous couple games. When he plays like this he's a definite starter and a big piece of our midfield puzzle.
Very good today and he was a considerable factor in Lukaku's frustration (not just Smalling and Jones' performances) and Everton having trouble in the midfield battle. Stifled their creativity and his energy, together with Herrera and BFS' movement and generalship was a very good, dynamic trio for us.
Need to see that trio in action again. Huge promise to it.
He's the most obvious beneficiary of our increased urgency in getting the ball forward with haste. The options Herrera and Mata offer him to unload the ball quickly also open spaces for him to be even more adventurous if he wants to be.
Thought was was very good today and I agree it was the best we've seen in a Utd shirt, and I honestly think he can still play a lot better than that as well. I still think he needs to be a little bit more careful when rushing into the tackle as he gave away two or three silly free kicks around the edge of our box that in another day could easily cost us. But overall a good display.
