Just a reminder that we havent bought a CM since Fred in 2018 when Carrick retired and have since also lost Matic & Herrera (neither replaced)…
So many of our players seem terrified to play a ball on the ground, into tight spaces. We just cycle it, until the opposition pressure us into some turnover.
Keane at half-time lays into McFred, tbf he has consistently said for years we wont win anything with those two. Ronaldo on for Fred, Eriksen has gone to deep CM with McT higher it seems. McT gonna have to be careful.
We won't ever see McFred start a game together again I expect. It's very telling Fred was taken out. I'd prefer McT to sit, but one of them will get sacrificed.
I think Fred will play anymore but who knows McT has very impressive to all the previous coaches in how well he listens and executes in training.
McT can’t complete a routine pass and he’s out here trying backheel flicks…which goes right to Brighton. and Rashford misses the easiest of sitters imaginable.
