    That to me says more about the other players not doing what's required of them. As a footballer Fellaini is not good enough.

    Give it a rest mate. He fecking give us the lead. Who else can cause problems when teams are organized like Wigans?

    Its all to do with tactics. So far Mourinhos got it right today. Hes paid to win games, not play tiki taka. That type of play style doesn't beat teams like this. Hoof ball does.

    So...after all the Cafe's angst about Martial, his relationship with Mourinho....not being picked ....how dare he not be picked...put him up front etc....how do people feel he's done?

    If he's trying to impress Jose then he hasn't done it, he's been terrible tbh he needs to get involved way more and stop being so wasteful
     
    I'd put Rashers on to play with Martial. Them two had some chemistry last season
     
    The changes make such a difference like without Valencia patrolling the right side. Rooney up top without pace or Zlatans strength. No Pogba driving forward, Mata's lack of pace out wide. Herrera being busy.
     
    Keown should really save his digs about Jose not playing youth for when there aren't some on the pitch.
     
    Schweini delayed too long.

    No clue why Jose does that.. Running in? What is he going to do with the extra 30 seconds?

    It may all be for show but the team goes into the dressing room with the boss waiting for them, makes it a little more convincing when talking about urgency I would think.
     
    BFS again causing problems for Wigan. Seriously, that man pops up in all the right places on that pitch.

    You could say the same about the likes of Cleverly and Anderson, or Januzaj in that one season, it just shows how weak our squad was if we have to rely on his goals.

    Fellaini is a good plan B.
    Many people cannot observe that he's been used many times to be a direct outlet from De Gea whenever our defenders are pressed to the point that they cannot even put simple passes together to get the ball forward.

    Similarly, when we are looking for the elusive goal a la Liverpool game, he can also be very good in causing mayhem to the opposition. There are many ways to skin a cat - the means by which you get your 3 points is a moot point. Tiki-taka isn't always effective as Pep belatedly realised.
