Delighted the goal has been credited to him! Three ain’t a bad return so far whatsoever
With that goal being awarded to McTominay, every goal we've scored this season with the exception of Daniel James against Crystal Palace (assisted by Martial) every goal we've scored this season has had direct involvement from an academy graduate.
I couldn't quite believe it myself but it's something to be very proud of.Amazing that, had no idea but what a great stat
McTominay this season vs his career and McTominay under Jose vs McTominay under Ole.
He has improved in almost everything. Don't think we can call him specialist in anything, he is jack of all trades.
Do like that huge bump in attacking stats.

The penalty was won by Brandon Williams which I count as direct academy involvement, the one in the 3-0 was assisted by Greenwood.what about Martial's Goal against Partizan? Or are you talking league goals?
Not really sure how they gave him the goal, the defender clearly toe pokes it in first?
I guess neither the defender wanted it, and Mctominay wants it
Yeah, I mean he was practically about to touch it in if the defender didn't do it first, but I'm not sure that matters? Idk. Loads of defenders have scored own goals by trying to clear the ball before the striker gets to it.Well, it was McTominay that poked it goal bound, the defender did nothing to change the course of the ball. If the defender didn’t touch the ball at all, it would have been a McTominay goal. Suppose they looked it like that.
Also worth mentioning he’s missed 2 headers from about 6 yards out so if he can converting those he’s really added another dimension to his game.With 3 league goals so far this season, I wonder if he can get to 5 or 6 before the end of the season. That would be an area where he would have improved on Ander's goalscoring from last season.
With those 3 goals he's already joint with a bunch of other players as the top scoring CM/DM/AM in the league.
David Silva, Maddison, Lundstrum, McGinn, Mount and Tielemans are the other players who also have 3 goals. McTominay's 2 goals from set piece situations is the most in that field too.

Yeah that’s exactly what everyone is doing. Praising him for his mediocrity.The only thing that astounds me more than his mediocrity is that he gets praise for it.

As long as the shot by McTominay was on target, the touch by the defender doesn't take the goal away.Not really sure how they gave him the goal, the defender clearly toe pokes it in first?

Unless they've seen from a different angle that Scott touches it last, but I don't think so.
I see that makes sense. Pleased for Scott anyway, he’s chipping away with a few goals lately!Reason was that McTomminay poked it goal wards before the keeper could get his hands on it, so it counts as his shot. He then did try to follow it through and defender trying to clear it and not managing it is same as defender trying to block a goal bound shot but, deflecting it.

What else is there? he dishes up mediocre performance after mediocre performance and yet receives crazy praise. It's as if the poor stuff he does over 90 mins magically gets swept under the carpet.Yeah that’s exactly what everyone is doing. Praising him for his mediocrity.
The desperation for positivity in this place is what's embarrassing. The guy is good enough and never will be, unless we're happy being where we are.It’s embarrassing that people like this claim to watch football, honestly.

You cant be serious, half the mids in this league are better than him.What central midfielder in the Premier league contributes more to both attack and defence?

The guy cant pass the ball so he's terrible in attack.Ok so name me some that contribute more in both attack and defence.
