I don’t think Fred has been as bad as some say. He’s just finding his feet in the league and much like with Fabinho at Liverpool, is being ‘managed’ into the PL
He has pace - as seen when he was fouled by the Everton player after speeding past him. He has a bit of guile and offers something a bit different to what we have.
Miles away from being a failure signing as some are saying
He needs to play for me and get up to speed with the EPL. He is a quality player ,technically good but needs game time.
I used to have an old beetle
Had a very good engine
It's early days with him as yet. He doesn't know the league or the language and he's not exactly played a lot of games yet.
Not been overly impressed when he has played but he definitely should be afforded 6-8 months to adjust.
Lacks match sharpness which is understandable but I thought he was decent enough today
Stick Herrera in for Matic... Playing behind Fred and Pogba
I’d like to see a midfield trio of Fred, Herrera and Pogba.

and if any of them are unavailable, stick Perreira in there before Matic!!

----------------------------------------------------------------------
I think this is the way to go. Herrera and Fred to do more of the leg work (with Fred also having an ability to carry the ball forward as well) and Pogba the more offensive minded of the trio. What they also would give us is a bit of tempo.
I'd always try and find room for Herrera in there though as I always think he actually gives a sh** when he's out there.
I agree with the sentiments expressed regarding a more dynamic midfield trio. Pogba, Herrera & Fred or Pogba, Herrera & Pereira would work for me.
I do like Matic as a player though, but his form has been quite mixed and I'd like to see us freshen things up in midfield.
I worry for those of you who can't see what Fred is capable of.
He had a really good game today.
I don't understand why Fred has been frozen out as much as he has so far this season
He's shown enough glimpses of what he could bring to the side for Jose to have given him more game time than what he's had up til now
Another aspect of Jose's baffling management this season
Roys
And yet Matic under performs every single game and still plays.
He was mostly crap again today.

==========
The consensus across the board appears to be that he looks a promising player but needs more minutes and time to adapt. No one seems to be doubting his potential.
I thought he was decent today, with some moments where you can clearly see there's a player in there, and some moments where he looks a bit out of place at this stage. He's barely played and there's going to be a longer adjustment period for him.
Exactly VC
What is Jose seeing that everyone else isnt.
Both matic and lukaku have been consistently underperforming so far this season but have been up til today 1st names on the team sheet. Their involvement in the summer world cup alone should have been enough excuse for Jose to ease them into the season especially with the likes of Herrera Martial and Fred chomping at the bit
Didn't see yesterdays game, what did Fred do that caught the eye?
Would like to see him given more time to adjust to the league, because if that's what he needs, he won't do it by sitting on the bench.
There's been no benefit to Matic being in the side for a long time now. The defensive 'protection' isn't there, so you might as well have someone who can bring more to the table in other areas.

He quickly closed down players forcing them into making a pass that led to mistakes from Everton.
He also made some quick passes into the stride of forward players. Some came off, some didn't. But he tried them none the less.
After Martial, Pogba and Lindelof, I would say he was our next best player.
