Never took his eyes off the ball so not sure it was a red card offence, 10 minutes in a sin bin maybe.
Yep such a frustrating player. When he’s in possession you can see his first thought is to pass it back or sideways.Was lucky not to get sent off today for that wreckless challenge. Passes sideways and backwards far too often, to demonstrate what a limited footballer he is.

Irrelevant if he kept his eye on the ball. Was not in control of a foot high studs up challenge, could easily have got a red.Never took his eyes off the ball so not sure it was a red card offence, 10 minutes in a sin bin maybe.
We are asking for a few 5-10 yard forward passes.But you need that, you can't have everybody in midfield looking for the Hollywood pass all the time.

Criticised the players, coaches and higher up yesterday.
Atleast, it look like he care about the club.Criticised the players, coaches and higher up yesterday.
That is what i like about Matic. He has composure and close control. Look good in tight space but sadly too old. McTominay looked like a child. He should not play next season. He is average. Garner has more potential than him.Up against two very good players last night and he looked miles out of his depth Matic who's 10 years older and probably 5 years past his prime looked a much better player.
I like his attitude but it has to be backed up with ability and this lad is a very average player.
He should be playing a lot less next season.

You can have all the desire in the world that will never replace football abilities. This guy is average at best. He doesn't press, he can't pass, he have bad position awarness and he is not particularly fast. He is just a tall kid with desire. That may be good enought for a relegation candidate but not for us.Wasn't great the last match but he came back a lot earlier than expected from an injury he's obviously not recovered from fully to help the club when we were down to the bare-bones in midfield and some of the criticism he received for his performance is deeply disturbing.
Forget ability, if just half of the squad had his desire for the game and club as Scott we wouldn't be in the position we are now.

And you might be right... I just don't think he has the ability. His passing isn't good, he's not very good at taking the ball off his defense and although he works hard I'm not sure what that effort does for his team.McTominay will be a useful player if used correctly. The McFred partnership doesn't work because both are forced to play away from their skill sets. ETH could get a tune out of McTominay yet. I think it's important to have a big body in midfield, someone who does a lot of hard grafting and makes things easier on their teammates. I still see him developing into a Fletcher-type role. I agree that he just isn't technically skilled enough to be in a title-winning team.
