please play well in his absence please play well in his absence
 
Like to think this is an end to this 4 year prank now. I think he’ll be gone by September too.

Can't see it purely because of depth. Though I'd much rather Hannibal gets any gametime we spend on McTominay
 
I have studied Scott McTominay's performance against Brighton with respect to the complaint that he hides from the ball.
  • I looked at every instance the first line (centre backs and the goalkeeper) were trying to build play from the back.
  • I found that McTominay regularly showed for the ball (particularly in the first half) and collected the ball a number of times from the first line.
  • I did not find any examples that match the video that was relayed by @Sunny Jim showing Scott McTominay hiding from the ball.
I will continue to keep an open mind and an eye on future games to see if I can build a case that Scott McTominay hides from the ball. I have recorded the moments to video, but lack the status to be able to post it yet.

It's not that he hides all the time, he does hide and I've seen him do it plenty, it's more that even when he does get into those good positions he just doesn't demand the ball off his team mates enough.

I don’t think ‘spend’ is the tight term anymore. I suspect it will be ‘spent’. We can call depth, but if Scott is quickly identified as a player not up to it, he is not useful depth for anyone. And he can also command a decent fee I suspect. I think he’ll be sold, which would give me great confidence in the manager because time would not have been wasted.
 
Glad to see him out of the team. He's a garbage midfielder. Means well and all and has some uses .. but i hate seeing him on the ball
 
We better win after all these posts

I'd like to share this optimism but reckon he'll linger on for at least another year. It's encouraging that ten Hag seems to see him for what he is though.

Not a chance of that IMO. We aren't there in our rebuild stage that we get rid of guys like McTominay. Will take time but I think next year will be when he goes.
 
Brentford 4:0 Man Utd
Not even good even enough to be a PL midfielder but we keep playing him then we wonder why we’re shit
 
One of the last players you can blame for today, yet one of the first threads to be bumped...
 
GUYS, MCTOMINAY IS CLEARLY A REASON WHY WE ARE LOSING.

Idiots spent the whole week singling him out, he's out of the team and we concede 4 goals in first half. He was still absolutely awful when he came on, yet still he somehow improved our terrible midfield from the first 45 minutes.
 
Horrifying, but of course he had nothing to do with the shambolic shite that rendered the second half meaningless.
 
Another game another yellow card for our McT because he couldn't control a ball at his feet. :lol: :lol:

I can sort of understand ETH not wanting to throw in some of youngsters into this mess. They will be ruined forever.
 
With him we look like a mid-table team
Without him we look like a relegation team today.

The thing is, we don't have a DM, we need DM. Feck it, lets buy a DM.
 
Honestly I'm not a big McTominay fan but for the first 15 mins when he came on he did ok but after that he was absolutely horrific like usual.

At the end of the day we still can't accept being ok considering we are Man Utd and should be challenging for titles
 
So there is where the Rashford, Sancho and De Gea fanboys are hiding today.
 
Thought he actually did quite well for the first 20 minutes or so after coming on. Helped by Brentford obviously taking their foot off the pedal, but still did some nice things. After that he became a bit of a joke out there though.
Yeah, he was relatively decent at first, especially compared to the rest.

That shit touch -> tackle -> card sequence must be named after him though.
 
His physical presence is visibly better than Fred as no 6, but still no where near good enough for this role. Escaped again a potential red within the first two games with another poor touch, and out of control challenge completely miss the ball. That pass toward the end is typical him, too. ItKs more difficult to pass like that out of the pitch, than a simple square pass

Great isnt it?
The posts beforehand convinced that we would suddenly transform into a competent football team in his absence...

He did well initially when he came on, but got worse as the game progressed. Still one of the least awful today, not that its saying much. Of course redcafe will paint him as the culprit though.
 
People used to mock Lukaku's first touch. This dopey clown with his obligatory shite control leading to a yellow card. Then walks about the pitch giving it the hard man. He's the worst player this club has ever seen.
 
Did ok at first and then turned to shite. Regular argument used for managers is why do they keep picking him, I have no idea but any manager that is reliant on him and/or Fred won’t be successful.

the pass to the left at the 90th minute sums him up. Clueless.

i agree with the last paragraph of your post, ok is not ok.

If you think McTominay would have helped the team not concede 4 goals then you are also the problems with the fan base. Fred, McTominay, Maguire, Shaw, Rashford etc are not good enough. Rangnick was saying this team is not good yet it was made out Rangnick was shit manager and can't coach.

We have plethora of players who has passion but are not good enough or have the ability but no passion for this club. The issue at this club is all these players care about is their next pay cheque.
 
Can't be arsed defending him. Not even sure if there is much there to be defending, anyway. We need more right now and going forward. It's one of the most important positions in the team, and he is horrendously limited in that position.
 
He is shit. Brentford eased up so he did not have any pressure, but still plenty of moments where he was careless and lost the ball cheaply.

Needs to go as well.
 
For about 25 mins he was actually quite good, sharp passing and turned away from danger when pressed a few times, but then a very poor last 15.
 
Whats the point in being smug about losing without him in the team. We're shit with him in the team, too. Hooray for us
