The Scottish Player, Pereira, Fred? They'd struggle to get on the bench at Liverpool on ability alone. The Scottish Player may be good enough eventually though. Quote:

The wider point is that there is nothing special about any of them, particularly Henderson and Wijnaldum. They work hard for a better cause and look better in a better side. We're the opposite. In short, we're a disgrace |

Liverpools midfield group buy into the team plan, are all mobile, aggressive, cover huge ground and understand their role. They don't have glam jobs but they are extremely effective and good at what they do.
Pogba is an incredible talent who causes a ton of positional issues for all the players around him, makes it difficult create a solid structure. |

Just like throughout the 90’s and 00’s dippers were convinced only 2 or 3 of our players would get in a combined XI of the two teams at some point you have to be honest or you’ll be deluding yourself forever. Their front 6 is an excellent collection of players, their full backs and VvD too. Piss all over us from a great height at this moment. We need to do much, much better |

I dont think they're bloody good. Half of them wouldn't get into any of Europe's top sides. I think Fabinho is good, sure. Keita CAN be good and will probably improve. He was struggling to get in their side towards the end of the season. Wijnaldum is decent, but not special. Henderson is average. Really average. Liverpool fans think similar too. They know none of them are that great and most I know are pissed off they haven't strengthened there. They struggle to break teams down in tight games largely because of that midfield. They really don't like Henderson Its workmanlike. They work well together, but its hardly Europe's elite. And I'm talking about specifically about the midfield. The front three are excellent. As is VVD and the two full backs. I'm not arguing that. As for the United comparison, I think our fringe players had that levelled at them, but... Keane, Scholes, Beckham and Giggs.... do you really wanna go there? VVD, AA, Robertson, Fabinho and all of the front three three would get in our side. Give or take. So I'm not making that shout either. |

There's absolutely no reason why Harry McGravestone can't achieve the same here. Potential club captain by next summer imo. |

I'm just struggling to understand what Ole, Phelan, Carrick et al see in the current midfield options. The Scottish Player has shown promise, but Pogba aside the rest are awful. Strong midfield, better chance of controlling a game and winning IMO. Without one, you're starting most PL games on the back foot.
Can't recall too many games last season where United's midfield bossed it. |

what exactly is going on? Has he even been given any more money to spend or is that it? £142m in today's market.... If there was one position we obviously needed strengthening it was the midfield, but longstaff (!) and fernandes aside there's not really been a dicky bird.... why do we seem to be waiting to see what pogba does? Like you said, why hasn't herrera been replaced at the very least. Yesterday morning I thought we might pull a decent summer out of the bag, regardless of leaving it until the last minute, but it's been a £#%&!ing shambles. Rodri looks a great player. |
