That's not an accomplishment on it's own. Our midfield was as bad as it could have been for the first half.
I worry about all 3. None of them are good enough. The fact you have to pair them up with erikson to get a tune out of them says a lot about erikson as a player and how poor these guys are.
Yep. Thanks to Donny and Fred.
ETH hasn’t thought so, they’ve started ahead of him. They won’t all get replaced straight away but sooner it starts the better, not too fussed who goes when as long as starts happening, and it is inevitable for all 3 if they don’t improve.
He's also started ahead of both of them under ETH too though.
Our Scotty is a CF. Get him in there instead of Ronaldo.
Played well tonight, defended well at set pieces.
Don't understand the predictably negative comments even when he plays well.

Even if that's somewhat true, knowing what to do as a midfielder is irrelevant when you can't execute it.
Should have play McT instead of Donny last week. We might get a draw at least if he plays instead of Donny.
Classic Haaland goal from him tonight.
Our 4th choice DM can do what Haalan can, but not vice versa
We really are spoilt

And remember that we got Fred ahead of City!
Bring back that discussion of Titus Bramble > Zidane.

A starter for the Brazilian national team no less. Better than having a starting centre mid for Belgium.
When Guardiala plays Erling Braut as a false 6, we can compare them even if they play in different positions, methinks. It will probably happen in the CL SF, you heard it here first.
Which is why I still think we need to make harsh decisions in midfield and only one of them should stay.
Xctly.
He scored a classical Mark Hughes goal.
i won't be surprised.Not for a number of games now. Along with Ronaldo and Maguire he’s had arguably biggest demotion under ETH. All have gone from guaranteed starters to not even certain of being picked if players are injured or suspended.
That was a great goal, Ronaldo esque!
Shades of Zlatan with his goal last night!
Not a fantastic game overall, but a better squad player than other midfielders we have (Fred, Donny)

Obviously the cross was inch perfect but McTominay timed his run to absolute perfection for his goal.
I love his marauding runs forward, he's always a threat and has good technique. Rocket of a right foot and wish that effort off the bar went in.
He's much better when paired with the likes of Casemiro and Eriksen and I think he's a decent player still.
I was opinion Fred is a keeper as a squad player unlike McTominay, but changed my opinion yesterday. Scott is a decent option from the bench, of course far from Casemiro's qualities and I'm still not sure he's even a DM or should be but he absolutely has his qualities, scoring yesterday's goal like he did being one.
I have found it interesting in a lot of his sub appearances Ten Hag has had him attacking more. Obviously that's where he played a lot as a kid and his performances against Leeds saw him marauding forward. More to come??? Something to watch
Did he hurt himself when he scored? Any news on his fitness? I thought he played well.
Fulham 1:2 Man Utd
Not a good sub, takes too long to get to the pace of the game.
We look worse when he comes on. His attitude must be top notch for all the game time he gets because I just don't see what he offers.
Why did he think he could score from the penalty spot with a header?
He made 3 passes in 35 minutes. THREE.
I think he just didn't trust himself to try and take the ball down and get a shot off.
I'm not even surprised anymore by stats like this. He shouldn't even be a squad player
Played 40 mins, completed 3 passes. Unreal numbers
That doesn't sound right.
I thought he made more then that tbh. Hit a lovely crossfield ball from his own half that eventually resulted in him heading over from six yard box.
None of your midfield could really pass it at all in the second bar Eriksen showing some nice touches and eventually providing assist for the winner. Fulham were comfortably in control there.
What the feck ? We literally could sub in a random fans from the stand and he will probably make the same number or even more. How many touches did he make today ?
