He’s the least Brazilian player I think I’ve ever seen, but the energy he brings the midfield is absolutely integral. He just runs and runs, bit like a poor man’s Kante I suppose. But that relationship with McTominay is so vital to us as a team.

Fred gets plenty of praise, plenty.
I suggested leaving him out so he can work on his passing and shooting a small bit however I'd be equally ok with leaving Scott out for a bit too.
Can't keep playing the same players every week and not expecting them to break down at some point

Theres no reason why we can't rotate but currently our best midfield 3 is Bruno, Fred, McTominay.
This isnt a dig at anybody on here but Scotty and Fred get so much stick. Goldbridge being one cunt that did it last night with Scotty.
Those two lads are ridiculously under rated by our own fanbase.

Scotty is coming on nicely a proper grafter and not scared of a tackle.

Greenwood has done better but why not try VDB on the right of a front 3 with Cavani and Rashford.

It isn’t pretty. fred is such a strange case at the moment. he can be absolutely massive in games. his energy and break up play are outstanding. but his shooting and passing are some of the worst i have seen in recent years, like absolutely shocking. but its true, we look much better with him playing. i really like the lad and love his energy and drive, but at the same time he can be so frustrating with his atrocious passing.

I think that's one of the main reasons people say to not play both of Fred n Scott together, I think both are very similar in there industry and Scotts shooting is miles better then Fred's, but I think both lack in there passing game, which is were a great passer like vdb imo would be great along side 1 of those players and bruno, I can also see why ole does play those two,and it's simply because that defence is so shit and he doesn't trust them at all.

More than the passing its his shooting which frustrates me. If he can improve his shooting from current level of 'hopeless' to 'somewhat decent' we could turn few losses into draws and draws into wins. Have to admit am a recent convert in case of Fred and Scott, didnt rate them much but their emergence means we dont miss Herrera at all

Shit maybe even just McT.

People suggesting leaving Fred out for a bit- have you seen us without Fred? It isn’t pretty. Our fans sometimes bewilder me. The thing about his shooting is baffling to me as well. He brings a lot of different qualities to the side, but the thing that’s low down (imo) for a CM who plays more defensively, shooting, suddenly becomes hugely important. Not his energy, his tackling, interceptions, pressing, no it’s his shooting that should keep him out of the team. Apparently we’d be top of the league if Fred could shoot, did you know that? And still in Europe. Fred’s shooting Is what’s caused us to drop those points against Sheffield Utd, Everton, Arsenal and Liverpool. Fred’s shooting lost us games against that Turkish side whose name I can’t spell and Leipzig. Yeah.
