I think yesterday proved that we are desperately lacking that no. 10 with creativity. As hard as Pereira works he has nowhere near the quality required to play in that position for us. How many times does he make the wrong decision or not pick someone out when we're in a great position. I like his work ethic but not good enough.
And we don't seem to have anybody who can take a corner. Basic stuff. Awful today but I don't think we are as bad as most are saying. Another game that was there for the taking.

I think Pereira has a had a good run and defaulted to take his chance, it s a slap in the face for Lingard who is clearly out of favour. I agree on corners too, we get an awful lot and seem to waste them all.

He did very well yesterday finding space and receiving the ball and linking play. He was a big part of a good 15 mins at the boghing of the game.

In the end, he has to be judged on end product. Same with jesse. 10 is a key position, and I thought Andreas did half his job very well. But nearly passes are not going to get the job done. One shot on target from him. No assists and few if any key passes is not enough when he played for much of the game in space between the lines.

I wonder what Fernandes or Maddison would have done with that space and time?

I’d say scored and assisted goals dodgy.

None of our options at number 10 do that on a regular basis, and it’s key factor in our lack of goals. Fernandes and Maddison have 7 and 5 goals already this season. Pereira and Lingard are both yet to score.

How many points over the course of the season will the failure to bring in a number 10 this summer cost?

Too true on this. I agree to keep McTominay and let him play with Pogba, just need that amazing number 10. Should be Pogs, but he does not turn up enough, same as Martial as a number 10. Is it a french thing?

I don't think it's a French thing, I reckon Cantina at his current age and fitness, vwith a bottle of wine in one hand a chunk of smelly French cheese in the other would score and assist more than either of our current number 10's.

{Ed025's Note - cantina would have them for breakfast mate.. :)

We could have Vardy Salah Mane and Ronaldo all up front but if there is no supply to them they cannot score. We have had a rubbish midfield for years now. The defence was bad too but its getting sorted. Now we need to buy at least two top midfielders so that we can control games and attack with incisiveness and guile.

We need a top class no 10 to knit our attack together.
Andreas doesn't posses enough quality to be a regular no 10.

watched Leicester yesterday and i would take Ndidi, Maddison and Tielemans ahead of Fred, Mctominay and Perreira every day of the week .

I never thought i'd see the day when Leicester have a far better midfield to United .
