Deeney Slams Fred

Page 2 of 2

Indeed Clockwork. Both Pogba and Matic are worse than Fred at getting caught with the ball.

One of the things I have been impressed with Beekers in the little we have seen of him is that he knows what he is going to do with the ball before he receives a pass.

The second against Newcastle was a prime example.

pogba gets caught on the ball because his mindset is attacking and like I have been saying since even before we signed him he should not be playing in a deeper cm role.

Fred gets caught because his touches are poor and even the simple passes he makes puts the receiver on the back foot

Fred is a good player who gets stick from clueless fans who don’t watch the game but jump on the opinions of others.

A City supporting mate texted during the game Tuesday and said Fred is stealing a living. I literally had to ask him what game he was watching.

if you rate a player and others don't you do not need to get personal by calling others clueless. Very tasteless behaviour and one of the reasons I sometimes cannot stand certain people on this site

I think he wants to blast Pogba but can't. He described him to a tee. I dare say if Pogba could play more like Fred he would be world class but alas, ability and tactical nous are two separate things

does he want to blast pogba or do you want him to blast pogba.And why would he be afraid to do so? Everyone else does, right?

and I agree that ability an tactical nous are completely different. Pogba has the technical ability to play as a cm but not the tactical nous

While Deeney may have had a point a few months ago, I feel that Fred has improved in this area, especially since Bruno has come in.

He said Fred was having a stinker when he clearly wasn’t. I never said he had to rate him.

my problem with the statement is the generalisation in the first part.
boris is a good PM who gets stick from clueless peoplewho don’t know anything but jump on the opinions of others.

Wut?
Pogba gets caught on the ball because his mindset is attacking?

What does that mean.
Every match he jogs slowly forward with the ball and someone nicks it off him because he doesn't release it quick enough.
He has players around him to pass to but doesn't.
He did it against psg with the very little time he was on the pitch in his 'attacking' role.

Blasting Pogba is old news. No one blinks at it. Fred satisfies one criteria that sells. He plays for united. Either way it is the same old lines, same old criticism. Putting Pogba wont feel out of place.

......

He gets caught on the ball because of a lack of awareness of what is around him.

lack of awareness for the position he is playing

I wonder if people really do not see it or there is more to it.
put mata in the same role and the same thing would happen, put most "attacking minded" midfielders in a battlefied of cm and this would happen.

but it is much cooler to criticise pogba and not ask why we keep selecting him to play a role he is not suited for

He does look for the Hollywood pass which takes time to spot, giving them time to close him.

oh, what a surprise, an article about fred turns into another one bashing pogba.

someone really needs to come up with a new version of godwin's law for united 2020, every bloody article on the team always seems to end up with it being pogba's fault.
