Imagine if we'd sold him and he scored two injury time goals for his new club and a disallowed worldy for Scotland. Would be some fiery comments here!
We are 10th.
Mid mid table team.
which universe
...Bravo, we all know that. But he plays for Scotland so...he's also Scottish?
Great goal. Stupid that it was disallowed.
On McT he was absolutely robbed of an incredible strike last night. Gutted for him and the lads as well, atrocious VAR decision.
Bizarre. Has he ever taken a freekick for us? No one talking about that
. You would think he would usually be in the box. Can’t seem to do no wrong for Scotland atm.
Shouldn't be anything more than a squad player for us but credit where it’s due. Unlucky it got ruled out.

To be honest I think the player did impede the GK and he was offside so it was the correct decision. Bloody frustrating though for Scott, the free kick was such a corker that the keeper was never saving it so I would be more silently pissed off at my team mate rather than VAR!
Keep this to McT and his performance please and leave ref/VAR chat for that thread.
That goal was ridiculous, absolute crime is was disallowed but what a strike.
It is a legit point I guess but reading this is kind of sad... a scrappy league win against Brentford is something you will remember for years and years? I guess, being in the stadium and such was a stunning experience I guess. But in the big picture...
WInning a game we were losing in the 90th minute - first time we've done it in Prem history? Yeah I'll remember that.
I still have incredibly fond memories of Park Ji Sung winning it in the last minute vs. Wolves... or Rashford winning it in the last minute vs. West Ham the other year. Dramatic last winners stick with you... and this was definitely in the upper tier of memorability
Absolutely robbed! Disgrace of a decision.
Remember celebrating wildly with you mate! Absolutely marvellous.
Whereas he's at side 11th from bottom, where he clearly doesn't belong.
Robbed of a fecking worldie. That decision was absolutely shocking. Feel terrible for him.
Put this lad on our freekicks when he's on the pitch. Bruno never scores anyway.

A plastic one if you ask Keano, he never let Mick McCarthy forget he wasn't a proper Irishman
Can we play him in front of Casemiro and Bruno? With Rashford(Garnacho)/Hojlund/RW up top?
I am not good enough at tactics to know if that would be poor with his lack of technical ability? But he could break up play, press, get in the box more?

On my mothers side, my great grand mother was Irish, my great grandfather was Irish, all of my family since then have been born in England. Even if I decided to play for Northern Ireland, I'm still English.
Yep. Bruce late double v Sheff Weds lives with us over 30 years on. Although McTominays double won’t be helping us win the league like Bruce’s did, the opponents are irrelevant for moments like that
Think I may have struck a bit of a chord calling McT Scottish let me have my fun. Being from the great land myself, it's always a source of pride having Scots associated with this great club, it's slim pickings the now so I'll take what I can get!
Just a shame for McT that fantastic strike was ruled out. Hopefully Spain do us a favour on Sunday.

This may sound cheesy but it is genuine: I am really happy for you guys. It shows that I am probably watching with the wrong mindset at the minute as I can't really enjoy such moments right now. I am a follower not for such a long time, I started watching a game here and there around 2006, 2007 I've seen all of them and thats the story until today and I can remember some moments, Macheda goal, Scholes screamer, Terry miss, Lights out in Craven Cottage, 8-2, Hargreaves suprise start on New Year only to be subbed injured after a couple of minutes, Owen Goal against City, 3-2 Community shield with Nani... So many moments, but to be perfectly honest, this kind of dwindled in Fergies last two season and it never came back through all the other managers... Would be a potentially interesting self talk - do I take it too serious, is the joy gone... But enough of that, thanks for sharing your thoughts. And you are right, just because I can't appreciate moments like that shouldn't make me call them sad.
Seem to remember Fergie's last season was full of those moments tbh. Was like a love letter to all of the great comebacks and an FU to City for the Aguero moment in one season.
I decided to throw on the YouTube highlights of the Spain vs Scotland game because ‘McTominay goal controversially disallowed’, when did he become the best striker of a ball since Beckham?
The only wow factor in this season was RVP. And when I think for focussed, there probably were a few great goals and I think one close match against City with an RVP goal (wasn't it the deflected one of Nasri?) but thats about it. I think, we started to look slower and slower that season (no wonder with key players getting older) and iirc, games became more and more boring things where we didn't create anything of note but brought in the results because we'd win 2-0 by the genius of RVP or Rooney but the matches probably ended 0.4 xG. But, again, I was just watching in front of a screen, I am sure a live experience had more effect.
The opposition doesn’t matter, it’s remembering the emotion at the time. Weirdly one of my best memories of that 2008/2009 season is Vidic scoring that late winner against a shite Sunderland team who had about 6% possession. Other than the Macheda goal not a lot else stands out like that from a season where we played some of the best football I’ve ever seen.
On the way out of OT on Saturday I heard a fella say to his kid, ”you can’t beat a last minute winner”. He’s right.
Staying on topic. McT was robbed.
Sheffield Utd 1:2 Man Utd
Increasingly I think the club made a huge mistake not continuing McTominay's development as a striker. He's big, tall, strong, good in the box and bad everywhere else.
Of all the central midfielders I’ve seen who have played at this club I think he is the one who looks the least like an actual central midfielder
Quiet game but , given the chance, he knows how to strike a ball.
It was like playing with ten men, he managed to score a goal, give away a penalty and somehow hardly touched the ball.
He basically played as a striker tonight. All his runs were forward. Don't get ETH's thinking with these midfield set ups, for all Eriksen's limitations when he is on you see structure, the midfielders can play as pair and circulate the ball more efficiently. Seems to love set ups were the deep midfielder has no-one near him despite it almost never working in this league.
16 touches is dreadful. He went AWOL in the second half
It's not his position, clearly. We can't control a midfield with a midfielder only getting 12 touches in a half, and one of them being a goal from the penalty area and another a handball in ours. Play him up front toward the end of games or not at all, even against this midfield he isn't doing it. Mejbri is so much more of a midfielder it hurts to see him on the bench.
I've been saying this for 2 years at least. McTominay can be many things, but a midfielder doing midfielders things he is not.
He's like a tool you use in emergency. Otherwise you sacrifice one player that will not help you in the build up. His defensive contribution is also questionable.
Does anyone have a link to a website that shows detailed player performances, such as how many passes / shots a player had per game?
Apart from his goal, I don’t remember seeing him

He's just not a good player. Doesnt bring enough to the table.
Still should've sold him before season started. What a joke of a midfielder and worst case we could've used that money for another cf
Let him be back up to Hojlund, we have options in midfield with the likes of Eriksen, VDB, Mount, Hannibal, Gore and Mainoo coming back.
