Clearly nonsense to try and excuse their performances with “nobody else played well either”. Especially as you contradict that with your first paragraph. |

The differences in their performances are negligble. Yet, people have biases. |

Weren't you saying the other week that it's awful that yesterdays MOTM was a Man United first team player, and that he offers nothing to the team? |

They have one good game and everything changes. So I'd argue we can do the same. What is clear is that we can still win games with key players missing. Granted we looked pretty mediocre and aimless at times but this is all about results. Much like LVG said, it's ok having a philosophy but you need the players to carry it out on the pitch. Ole wants us solid at the back and bombing forward. There's your plan. I like that plan. It's only gonna work in patches, especially until the players are comfortable with it. We need that one game where everything clicks. |

Nobody is saying The Scottish Player is this world class midfielder, but there is a stark difference in what he brings to the team than matic. Matic does £#%&! all and lose the ball. The Scottish Player wins the ball better and presses quicker than matic. He also passed the ball much better than matic. Of course The Scottish Player also lost the ball , but the whole team is doing that. The Scottish Player brings something to this team. Matic brings £#%&! all. |

But if we're going off that, Pogba is the worst for it. Did not miss seeing him create his own problems. |

The Scottish Player pushes higher up and is generally quicker than matic. I know who i much rather have in the team Pogba may lose the ball too, but atleast you get 2/3 chances created from him during a game |

Matic was done last season, and to be fair it seems Ole knows it. If Fred steps up we could cobble together something workable. But Pogba playing the role Matic should be playing isn't likely to cut it. |

Saayfooty would have a point a year ago. But Matic has declined too much to justify starting. If we were to get a proper defensive midfielder who can sit deep and dictate play (Neves springs to mind) then we could talk about dropping The Scottish Player, til then we have to go with whatever the best option may be.
