He did well. Our best midfielder both in terms of quality and energy. This guy and Wilson are definite silver linings on a surreal night.
 
He looked bright, shame we're out of the League Cup as I would've liked to see him get some more first team action there. I doubt he's ready for Premier League football yet.

Do you know who is playing for us in midfield if Herrera is not? Let me refresh your memory - Cleverley, Fellaini, Fletcher and Anderson. Can he really be any worse? If he isn't ready, then play him and make him ready. This way at least if we aren't spending big to bring a world class midfielder, instead of playing the shower of shite that we have, I would rather promote and see if things work out that way, like what happened with Januzaj last season.

He actually pinged the ball round beautifully, and his moving of the ball was decent too. Obviously he wasn't being pressed much though so it probably make him seem a lot more comfortable, but he's got potential for sure.

Maybe you're right and we should play him, considering the alternatives, but then we need to be prepared to forgive him a lot of poor performances.

He gave the ball cheaply few times in this game when the opponents didn't even press that hard.Imagine it's against a PL team and we conceded a few goals from his mistakes.Our fans would have written him off immediately like they did with M.Keane tonight.

I would introduce him slowly into the team instead.

Well Im not asking to start him tomorrow. Start him on the bench and give him 30 mins a week to see what he can do. With some of our CMs getting a chance to play in the first team, why not a youngest from our academy who has the potential to make it here. Why not start him a bit early and teach him things and he will be able to pick it up fast.

He did alright when he came on. Some nice passes and build up play, couple of wayward shots but showed some real promise on his debut.
 
He is a promising talent but not ready yet.

Certainly not ready to play Central Mid in the prem at that.

He will have to breakthrough as a AM probably.

He could do well in last minutes of some matches when the other team is tired. It would be interesting to see him if he would do okay if he was more pressed. well considering fletcher and cleverley as first option may seem as crazy as to start pereira instead of them..
 
It'll be a joke from now on if Cleverley starts ahead of him. MK Dons or not, he shows more fight, determination and talent than Cleverley.
 
Not ready yet for the prem but clearly has talent. He seems like a go to player who is a ball magnet, very involved, which is a good sign.
 
I was really impressed with him today. His confidence and performance especially as we were getting battered is what I found most impressive. They would give him the ball and he was the one pinging it around. Anderson would just lay the ball off to him and he was bossing it a bit to be honest. So impressed and I hope he makes the bench vs Burnley.

Have to agree, not just his impressive performance, looking to attack and invent all the time but amidst the gloomy circumstance it spoke volumes about his mentality, got the impression he was stalling a bit in his progression with the U21's but he seemed to be at home on the big stage, it defo has put a silver lining on the outcome of the game for me, along with Wilson who was also excellent.

Yeah. Wilson and Pereira were really impressive. I'll be furious if Hernandez is preferred to Wilson vs Burnley. It might be a bit over the top but I would put Pereira on the bench vs Burnley too. I was that impressed and I'm not usually one to knee jerk.

They are fine, they are stars of the future here as was suspected, that confirmed it big time, I am probably one of the few positive after that match having seen them perform in such circumstance, but I didn't expect any different from any of the other players, bar Januzaj who was a bit poor by his standards.
 
Couldn't have been easy for him to come on when the team was playing how it was, he showed some promise though with his positive passing and wasn't afraid to shoot. How old is he again?

Watch that Lucas silva vid and watch this kid play.. similar. This boy can play, we need to push him into the first team squad.

Agreed! I've been watching this kid for a while now was pleased when I saw his name on the subs list, I think he deserves a real chance in the first team squad.
 
Yep 18.

I can't tell whether he could end up as a CM or a #10 eventually. He's young so he still has time to grow and bulk up a bit. Definitely has the energy to be an Oscar-like player.
 
Serious question, when people say a young player is not ready, how do they come to this conclusion? I'm not saying Pareira should be starting in CM for us but he clearly has the talent to be a top class player, so, why not ease him in gradually, here and there and get him ready. He's never going to be ready playing in the junior teams. I'm glad we have LVG, people will be surprised how fast he'll promote some of our young players.

I think he showed enough in that team last night to warrant further opportunities down the line. Going out of the Carling Cup will limit opportunities but I think he did stand out. Especially once the side is settled and he's playing in a better team surrounded by more senior players.

That's exactly what I thought.
 
Technically I think he's above any of our midfield players bar Herrera. The premier league is probably too much for him right now because of the added physical nature but I wouldn't be against seeing him get an odd appearance when we have settled down a bit. He does go missing from time to time but I definitely believe along with Wilson that he is United quality.
 
If he did well, then these are the sort of characters we need right now. Those who won't shirk and hide and ultimately sink, but take on situations.
 
If he's not going to form part of our squad, we should loan him out. Was really impressed with his technique, but more importantly, the bravery he showed last night.

Can add Wilson to that list as well.

Wouldn't mind too much if LvG wanted to work with the following squad for the season. He's already mentioned a squad of 20 odd would be ideal (and we're already out of the CoC).

This is assuming Kagawa*, Cleverley, Welbeck*, Chich, Fellaini etc are all sold/loaned out. Obviously don't think Fletcher will be loaned out etc. He should consider retiring at the end of the season if things don't improve.

(4-2-3-1)
DDG, Lindegaard

(4) Rafael, Smalling, Jones, Rojo, Shaw, Evans, Blackett

(2) Carrick, Herrera, CM, Perreira, Fletcher (?)

(3) Mata, Januzaj, AdM, Valencia, Young (Rooney)

(1) RvP, Rooney, Wilson

* would prefer keeping them, but the squad is already bloated and they need game time.
 
that 44 number looks to be magical. I wouldnt mind him having him on the bench next match. If anythink he looked like the player who is needed to bring on in CM if we need to score a goal. creative energic midfielder who can pass the ball with ease..

He will play there long term I reckon. Do not be fooled by big Benick yesterday brushing him (as he did to our most senior centre-half too!) - Andreas can certainly look after himself. He's a lot more than just pretty.
 
One of the very few players (the others being Welbeck and Wilson) that actually came out of that game with a bit of credit. Showed more in that game than a lot of our other centre midfielders have recently.
 
His performance was a surprise to me, when i was in the newbies, i bashed him constantly saying he will not make it here, he gets dispossessed too often, misplaces passes, ball greedy, not playing a pass at the right time and a few other things i thought he could never sort out.

I'm not an MUTV subscriber anymore, but if yesterday's game is anything to go by, he seems to have improved.

I did the same.It was furious sometimes to watch him in the U18s/U21s.In fact he should be dropped for Weir/Harrop at the end of last season performance-wised.
 
I think he looks to be the kind of polayer that will excel if brought into the main squad but could stagnate with another season of reserve football. Last night he showed the technique, pace and energy in midfield that could see him be an asset off the bench this season IMO.

His passing was a bit loose at times but that is because he was trying things to get us back in the game, he was always looking to do that and take hold of the game which is more important, it showed the right attitude.

I am not fooled. He has not played at CM before that I am aware of and I can see good reasons for that. To start with, at least, he should play in a more attacking role.
 


Match comp is up.

Uncropped because I don't think they take down Capital One Cup match comps.
