You miss the runs through the middle to get our attack going then I take it ? He hardly went hiding and this is his third good performance for us and he has dealt fabulously with West Ham's front 2 and Romelu Lukaku.
Think you need to calm down a bit.

Looked like he had a knock and limping a bit.
Another good performance.
another solid permance from the lad.

Slight knock I think, or at least, that is what we will tell the press, I expect it is the club pulling him out of the NI game.
I like that he doesn't give off that dodgy vibe that other defenders do. You're just waiting for the likes of Evans and Jones to stumble into players or trip someone up at times. He seems quite assured or maybe we just need to see more of him.
Not sure about the future.. but we needed to rely on a player from the reserves and he hasn't let us down. That is all you could have asked for

At this rate the likes of Evans, Smalling, and Jones will have to perform or face being subbed for McNair.
They have to be fit first before we can talk about that.
We were lucky to concede just one in both of those games, West Ham he gets a free pass for (although he has similar before the second off anyway) but against Everton he didn't do well at all.
What a strange thing to say.
Well they have been at various times this year and McNair has more or less matched or outperformed them when he's been on.
Did very well again, just the communication error with Blind that let Campbell through.
Last year Stones got into the Everton team at CB because of injuries and this year, after plenty of gametime he's being talked up as a good CB. I'm not saying McNair will be the same, but he's in a similar situation where he's getting chances because of injuries and suspensions to other players. So maybe by this time next year McNair will have grabbed his chances enough to be at the same sort of stage of development

Very fortunate to get away with that error. I thought he was poor today.
That one moment in the first half aside, I thought he was decent.
Most of you forgot about him letting the ball bounce and allowing Campbell a one v one with DDG?
Huge error imo and lucky not to be punished.
BUT with some context, he's 19 being thrown in at the deep end and generally having a higher level of performance than older, what should be more established CB's.

Calm and composed on the ball and shadows his man well, another good performance from him.
He's consistent, hasn't made a major mistake, and isn't a crock. Because of all that, he's our most reliable CB at the moment.
Conveniently leaving out Blind's involvement in that moment eh? It was a misunderstanding between two players. Happens to the best of defenders.
Better than Smalling and Evans
Again, just an incredibly odd way to conduct a debate. Not sure why you feel the need to invent anger on behalf of someone who disagrees with you to help your point.
Is he injured or what? My stream died at the end.
Lucky charm. We have won all games where he started Quality player, can have a great future.
Quality player, can have a great future.I don't need any help with my point. You are wrong.
Brings the ball out and isn't fazed. Superb. Some senior players could grow a pair like him.
Then why bother to do it?
Why let it bother you ?
Again, why do you feel the need to invent offence where there is none? I'm asking you a question, filing a case in a small claims court. It's strange behaviour which you seem unable to explain, that's all.
I'd love him to just start all our games now, we need consistency and he needs the development and experience. He's a bright talent.
I'm not leaving out anyone. I was discussing McNairs mistake. It was Paddy's side, he should've dealt with it. But yeah, it does happen to the best of defenders. I did pay him a compliment aswell, incase you didn't notice.
That show lack of mutual understanding between him and Blind, which is understandable given one of them never played CB for us before.
I don't even remember telling you that you were angry ? "Calm Down" referred to making 3 posts on the lad in the space of 15 minutes which started by calling his performance "far from impressive" to then claiming he will not be a future United player, to then saying he won't play 100 premier league games. When all evidence thus far (however small the sample size) has pointed to the contrary.
So not only have you been bang wrong about his performances, you've also managed to map out his career all in 15 minutes.
So yeah, calm down.
He played well and didn't get injured, so give him a 10 year contract and never drop him again imo.
Other decent performance from young lad.
A post every 5 minutes just after a game? That's really the explanation you're going to stick with is it?
Ok then. How about you stick to talking about the points and leaving my posting rate to me? Thanks.
Made that one mistake in the first half, but other than that he's been very solid in all of his games so far.
Take it to PM.
Or just not bring it up at all in the first place? I just wanted to talk about McNair's performance. Not sure why saying a player who has made 3 first team appearances for Man Utd and otherwise been average in the reserves won't have much of a future here attracted that kind of comment.
Yeah I think people are forgetting he's only 19 and still relatively obscure. A few weeks ago, people were baffled why Tom Thorpe wasn't being selected ahead of him.
