Scott McTominay

[er yir macaroon]

Starting tonight according to Twitter. No surprise because he’s always their best player in the big games. The wee plastic fannies that want exotic signings are totally clueless.

I wish he wasn't; don't want him injured.

It is a concern.

Crossing from another thread, Souness = Keane. Fantastic footballers, failed managers ( except when Souness had all of David Murray's money ) and abysmal pundits, both aim to shock rather than give any meaningful insight into anything.

Probably Man u will win something tonight with Scott McTominey as integral part of midfield.

Personally, I prefer Souness and Keane over the like of Redknapp, Scholes, Ferdinand, etc.

I don't think they go out to shock. I just think they say what everyone else is too scared to say. They were probably like that in the dressing room when they played.

McTominay took a knock about ten mins ago. Hope it's nothing.

The thing with Scott is that he tends to play through the pain. He's too brave for his own good.

Just got an "assist" 

 

[TDYER63]

He is having a great game. I dont really care who wins but it would be a huge confidence boost to McTominay if Man U were to win, along with a great personal display. 

[Taylor1996]

My MOTM. First half he was ok, second half he's been pinging it, driving forward and been intercepting. 

Plus the assist.

£95m for Pogba and all he's done is swagger around like he's just warming up for Euro 2020.

Rashford is definitely struggling with his shoulder injury. Doesn't explain his miss from a few yards out. That's why he isn't a striker.

Yes he has played well, arguably best player on the pitch.

I agree, excellent all action display from our man. 

   Someone being willing to pay £95million for a player with a little application as Pogba is a prime example of everything that is wrong in the game /world. 

    Yeh Rashford may even be a less natural finisher than Adams(no dig intended😉) 

[Toepoke]

He's been tremendous. Wasted at centre back.

Very much so. That's why he's never an anchorman. Dribbling and driving forward is his main attributes. Old school box to box midfield. 

Couldn't agree more. Cut to a fortnight and he'll be busting a gut for France and might win Euro 2020. 

lol. Hey now! Don't go nuts!

[scotlad]

Currently down injured. 😟

[daviebee]

Seen 3 sports writers on Twitter calling him MU's MOTM.  FFS we can't afford to lose this guy.  🙏

[romanticscot]

He is off and by the looks of it unscathed. I wanted to see him take a pen. Man UTD haven't been the best team for the game that I've seen- extra time plus last 20.of regular time. 

[Taylor1996]

McTominay off before the penalties?

I think Ole was off making coffee when McTominay scored penalties against Israel and Serbia 

Hope Scott is fine.

[bigfingers]

Mctominay will be EUROS READY! 

[scotlad]

He had a very good game tonight. Shame for him that he wasn't on the winning side (Man Utd were the better team) but hopefully he's come through unscathed.

[Blantyre_Braveheart]

Happy Man Utd lost as the sycophantic punditry team turned me into a Villarreal fan for the night. Just so dismissive it was unreal.

Gutted for McTominay on a personal level though but he can take confidence in being the best player on the park by a wide distance.

 

A midfield of

McTominay Gilmour

McGinn

Would be very high level.

McTominay at CB and McGinn dropped down to CM would significantly weaken us. McTominay isn't a CB and is wasted there. McGinn is a goalscorer at CAM and is nonexistent at CM.

McTominay might be better suited to the style of defence we play than Hanley or Mckenna, but the difference isn't as vast as it would appear to be in midfield.

I have developed a conviction that Clarke is going to do the right things after his recent squad selection, and that would mean McTominay in midfield. I think he is more fluid in his thinking than one or two of our previous managers.

Aye after the squad selection, I've had a bit of a change of belief in Clarke. I thought he was stubborn and would stick to his squad players. 

I was wrong and like you I think he will go for McTominay in CM. I think the big call will be McGinn at CM/CAM and whether McGregor starts.

 

[Guest ElChris04]

McTominay was absolutely brilliant tonight. Best player on the pitch bar none he did everything in attack and defence. On the personal note I’m gutted for him but at the same time he went off the pitch as the best player on the field before the shootout so he can have no regrets, he can most certainly be one of the very few who can look back and hold his head up high.

As we already know he’s going to be so vital to us come the euros, and all the better he’ll be at his best in his correct position in midfield, what a player.

Clarke has more or less confirmed he’s going to play McTominay in midfield next month.

What’s your thinking with the conundrum with McGinn? Seems straightforward that he plays CAM. 

Clarke had already said McTominay is a midfielder for the Euros, although he has the right to change his mind.
