My motm today.
 
I gave him MOTM, very close between him and Rojo, his ground coverage side to side across our back line was excellent and protected the CB's all game.
 
Fantastic again. Passing was neat and made so many vital interceptions. That tackle at the end where he took the booking could have been so important, they might have scored if he didn't disrupt that. We've needed a midfielder like him for many many years.
 
Worked his bollocks off today and caused their midfield all kinds of problems. Really good signing and a player who deserves more appreciation for what he does. Every team can do with someone like him.
 
Has to play every game against the big boys. When our attack starts functioning, we'll win a lot more games because of Morgan.
 
Class again. His passing has come on leaps and bounds.

Exactly what I've thought, for example Carrick would never make that tackle. We have a great upgrade here. Player with perfect positional sense who can cover basically all the ground and start attacks for us. It was always gonna take him a few games here and there to settle down and gain confidence. He's been excellent as no6 for the last three games. May he continue in this form. I still think we could do a bit better with the third midfielder, Basti's been good but he's not on top of his game against top sides a slight upgrade on Carrick.

How about

Schneiderlin
Herrera - Pogba

But I think we should give that spot to one of our youngsters, Pereira/Pearson/TFM
 
Played well but I still think he can do better with his positioning when helping out the full back on his side (when in possession, in our own half.).

To often he doesn't move into space for the pass almost forcing the full back to drive forward or go long. He was better against CSKA but he was at it again today.
 
My MOTM. You never have the worry that an opposition player is just going to waltz their way through our midfield when Schneiderlin is playing.
 
Seems to be finding his feet in the team and really should be locked in as a starter based on the last three games. It is nice to have a genuinely dynamic player in front of the defenders for the first time in a while. He and Herrera would have made a fantastic duo in a 90's 4-4-2, between them they tick all the boxes.
 
He started the season relatively quietly (not badly, just quiet), but the last few matches he's starting to really show what he can bring to our team. It was a tough choice between him and Rojo for MOTM today, but Schneiderlin just edged it for me.
 
I think he struggled early on for us but he's really upped his game recently.

He was my MOTM. Rojo did well but i think the wanking of rojo has to do with everyone melting down that he even started. Morgan for me was a 10 out of 10 for me. Gave them nothing in midfield, passed the ball well and gave his defense only high balls to bony to deal with. Was really impressed by him especially his passing. Great Acquisition

he was impressive in opening minutes to make two mistakes in the middle of the pitch halfway through the first half, two hard situations really... but he shake it off quickly to boss it again..

tbf Fernandinho had a great game too but he's not as good on the ball like our Morgan, best acquisition of the summer
 
Absolute machine at the base of the midfield today and his passing is getting better and better too, those flat switching passes out to our wide men in particular are impressing me.
 
3 absolutely faultless performances in a row. He's an absolute monster.
 
How good is this guy for the defensive organization of the team? We've conceded just 7 goals in his 11 games played (2-1 loss to Swansea, 3-1 win against Liverpool, 3-2 win against Southampton, 2-1 vs Wolfsburg, 1-1 with CSKA). We hardly give away any chances when he's on the pitch. Was a massive part of why Southampton had the best defensive record in the league last season and why it'll probably be us this season. He's also improving every game on the ball as well. Just makes our midfield so solid alongside Herrera and Schweinsteiger. I don't think any team will ever get much joy against that midfield trio, as they're all class all round midfielders but balance each other nicely.

Yep, while we are hardly blowing away many teams they sure as hell aren't scoring many against us either. When he's in the team he breaks up play and makes so many great interceptions. He was key to that 2nd half performance where we just kept pressing and retaining the ball. Really do love him.

It genuinely feels good to have a top midfield again. Having it neglected for so long made me forget how amazing it is to have one.

Now if we can just sort out a few other areas...
 
I am so glad he is putting all doubters here to shame. Last 3-4 performances have shown why he has been top draw in his position last couple of seasons. What a buy! and what a player!
 
Was really good yesterday. His reading of the game and positioning was superb. Played a few good cross field passes too.
 
Long passing, especially diagonal pass to the wings have become better and better. Great player, he will be a very important player in future. I hope we can buy him a partner and not let him be the new carrick after basti and carrick are done. Herrera is more of a 10 for me who can play as an 8 rather than natural 8
 
The guy seems to following a similar trajectory to most new purchases (successful ones) made by LVG where they initially do well and show their talent, then fall off for a bit where they often get dropped while absorbing the philosophy and then are back in the side fully on! This is analogous to Herrera, Shaw and Blind last season and I think Memphis and Darmian are on similar trajectory. Of course Martial doesn't need settling time that mortals may do.
 
He's the key midfield signing this season for me. He's the balance of the team, he can play deeper, he can run, he still got a great range of passing on him and defensively he's incredibly aggressive. The way he changes direction from running towards our goal, to changing direction and breaking up a pass with a forward movement is just surreal. He reads the game so well to be able to pull that stunt off with that consistency.

Yep. I think he took some time to get over the initial mental test from arriving at a bigger club (which was expected of course), but he's cementing his position very well now. I'm really happy to see him with us now than against us for one of our bigger rivals.

Seeing him boss midfield like this actually makes me angry.

Him not starting at Arsenal is Van Gaal's worst error by a mile this season.

Even worse than his continual playing of Rooney?

But yeah, it was definitely a huge error.

either that or shunting Martial on to the left!

He played really well yesterday - he should be a starter for you every game.
 
Was so excited when we signed him but tbh was completely underwhelmed... until the last month or so. Been absolutely immense, first name on the team sheet in big games for me
