'He's not the best at playing one-touch football': Troy Deeney explains how Leicester targeted Fred

talkSPORT

 said: "I got a bit of stick for saying it on my first show. 

 makes a lot of mistakes because he's not the best at playing one-touch football.

"He needs two or three touches and Leicester identified that got their reward. I do think he's been very good this season but if you make mistakes at Man United in general – if it's in FA Cup quarters or at Sunderland on a Wednesday – it doesn’t really matter.

"You're going to get told that you can't make mistakes at that level because they're such a big club."

targeted Fred because of his poor ball control

 when the two sides faced each other in the Premier League.

The Hornets' skipper reiterated his controversial comments earlier this season, stating that the Brazilian simply '

doesn't know how to do one or two touches

Finally a comment that isn't toxic and makes sense.

Maguire should've pushed it further (not that there was anyone else close) or cleared it, but Fred could've cleared it or put more pace on the ball. Fred consistently makes horrible decisions and put the team in bad positions. He leads the team in bookings and has 1 🤬 point and barely any set-ups!! Anyone in the world is better than Fred at the moment or ever! One of the most overrated players in the PL! Get rid of this bum! And no one deserves racial ridicule, those racist morons aren't fans anyway! Go MANU!!🍻🍻

you are right, but Troy's not wrong too. Fred has been tremendous but even at that he's not so good at one touch play and Leicester took advantage of it

I am very surprise to hear this from you (de general)
you mean Fred as been a fantastic player? this show how weak you are. Fred is the worst player united has.
 he can't play a simple pass,
 no football sense, 
no ball control. 
he keep running from one place to another to dispossess is own teammate.
no shutting accuracy.
no shot on target.
no goal.
no assist.
Fred is a sh***t

maybe u should look at leicester team that beat man utd. tell me which team is better. no one in right senses will applause the racial abuse in fred. still, he's not the caliber of midfielder in man utd. am sorry to say that. though, I can't repudiate his resurgence and improvement. still, a midfielder who can't pass the out to attackers not get shot at goal or even goal. I mean leicester targeted our weak midfield and fred was the weak link. sentiment aside.

General I agree with Troy Deeney, while Fred is a hard worker, he is terrible when put under pressure I hold my breath every time he is pressed because I just know he might give the ball away and it happens a lot. His passing is mediocre at best

Davidson jerry

horrible decisions? you mean like taking the ball from the opponents? there is no player that gives the ball away more than bruno or rashford or pogba or matic! Matic is a better player than Fred at this stage? impossible.  you just don't like the guy.

 DE GENERAL 🇧🇧 

what does this comment have to do with anything? Where were these comments for the last 14 months when he was saving our asses on the pitch? Are you sure it's me who don't have a clue about football? you sound like an ungrateful fan !

Fred doesn't play a position that requires goals and assist first remember that before you decide I'm weak secondly why don't you go check the stats for his job namely interceptions tackles stealing the ball blocks stuff like that then shout me .

Fred has improved tremendously and made Troy's team look like shit! This is the first really bad game I've seen Fred have since his resurgence in fact he's been one of the best players in his position and doesn't deserve racial ridicule . I'd ask how many players in the world is better at playing his position at the moment? This bad game is down to squad fatigue mainly . Woodward must be willing to spend and Ole rest important players more !

Yes our midfield is weak, Mctominay is young still growing, besides him he doesn't have someone who can moderate the game, fred is a destroyer he can't keep the ball with minimal pressure he can lands you in trouble,,,, good example vs psg and Leicester, pogba will never be a defensive minded man and can't control games temple, bruno is an attack minded, matic is good but age is fighting him plus he can't keep up with the speed ole wants and through all that we lack an ideal midfielder a moderator , enforcer, defensive and even drive forward.....

Agree with all of your comments ‘l am Winchester’. All of our recognised midfielders have much to offer but we are still lacking a general in the Robbo or Keane mould. Grealish and Maddison are the type of player I would love us to sign. United type players.

U seriously need to fast n pray for peace of mind n serenity of thought at WINCHESTER CATHEDRAL bro 😎🙏

It's clear that our midfield isn't good enough to win the Premier League

Georgy Tsepkovskiy

Ole doesn't deserve the Manchester United job. He should be plying his trade in the championship league and not EPL. I simply doubt if any other EPL team would be open to employing Ole as their manager. It's almost unimaginable!

okey mohay

Brendon did his homework ole didn't bother and blamed his dog eating it simples
