We did this the other day.
Milner Can Henderson Wijnaldum Is a vastly superior set of midfielders to our current lot, all can actually play games in the PL and CL with some degree of regularity for a £#%&!ing start, which neither Beek or Matic can. And they were all juiced up to the eyeballs. |

pretty sure others have made similar comments about each of pogba, d.on (neither of whom should be playing in the two), The Scottish Player and even matic (the silly buggers). |

Matic - PL proven, but old and can’t play or move. Beek - ? Fred - not really anything other than brainless and hard working. Means well. McT - Decent enough and a unit that can get about. Pogba - utter liability with flashes of incredible talent. We’re basically picking 2 from 3, and one of those 3 can’t play regularly. It’s a shocking position to be in. I think he can get more out of them, but it would mean setting them up in such a fashion that everyone would bitch that we’re too defensive. You could even say he’s maybe done well to get as much out of them as he did last season. Fergie had a team with Ronaldo, Rooney, RvN, Saha etc. that finished 3rd because we had to play a CM of O’Shea and Giggs for large parts of the season. Shit midfielders, very very tough ask. I just want to see the side do similar to what that one did in that it improved as the season went on, despite its obvious deficiencies (remember everyone screaming for Gravesen and the Dutch lad at Milan) and push on towards the end of the season. Then the obvious problems are addressed in the summer (or preferably, we push on through the first half of the season and sort it Jan). We don’t have a Scholes to return, a Fletcher to mature or a Carrick on the shopping list is the main issue. |

Honestly don’t know why it’s an either/or situation for some. It’s both manager and players. No manager in the world is getting rid of Fred making his godawful mistakes - he needs replacing. But, yeah, across the whole team I’m sure some managers could get a better song out of the group of players we have. |

The manager isn't the problem, it's the coaching staff. They're all glad to be there and won't rock the boat. Said it about a month ago - a new assistant manager (would love Keano) is needed to shake things up. Ole can handle the man management side but we need someone to be blunt about the squad and what the shortcomings are - a bad cop to Ole's good cop perhaps.
The Scottish Player is the best of the midfielders and that's more damning of the midfield than praising the lad. Matic would be great if he still had the legs, Fred is Fred. Beek might be the best but looks like we won't get to find out. |

I’d have Matic over him every time and I’d afford Van de Beek more leeway, the performance level Fred has gotten away with this season is criminal. Quote:

however, even though I would pick The Scottish Player and matic ahead of fred, I wouldn't really want to pick either of them. we need more and better midfielders. and we need better coaching. |
