It was obvious he was targeted, along with Mkhitaryan, for the dreadful attacking display against West Brom.

That's what will happen if we don't get a good result. Also if Fellaini plays badly, that will backfire on him too.Captain is pretty irrelevant in this day and age.
Fellaini is the best choice with the players we have put out.
Herrera? Lol.I don't give a crap whether Fellaini is captain or not, just don't think he should be starting over another attacker in a game against Sunderland.This should be a joy to watch
I know, but this is Sunderland. If he doesn't get a chance against them, which team should he play against?Captain Fellaini. Travelodge living has finally made Jose go full *insert word banned on Redcafe*.
Maybe in 2001 when the captain was more than just someone who wore a piece of extra fabric around their arm. Sudden pretence that the captaincy is mega important and a disgrace that we should besmirch the holy armband by giving to Fellaini from people who've spent the best past of the last few years thinking Rooney's a c*** is a bit 'fans on net act like ninnys again' to me.
*facepalm*'Shaw's attitude and commitment is improving.'Doesn't the armband go to the longest serving player though?
Why does this even matter?Moyes will probably take credit for Fellaini being captain today..A fitting tribute from Jose giving the armband to Moyes' legacy.David Moyes Will be giving a Sarcastic smirk looking at fellani being a united Captain.
I am right .You may be right on all counts ... but then again we've fielded teams before, that "should've won", even with Fergie at the helm ... and they didn't?
Again, you may be right: but for a handful of single goals in games that ended as draws and everything would / could have been soooooo different ... but it wasn't
If's, but's, & maybe's, but once again, you're could be right!
That said, if hindsight was 20 - 20 etc ... Lord knows Mourino's never won nothing in the past, has no track record of winning anything, no history of success in any of the teams he's had responsibility for ... oh wait a minute ...
See MILLHILL, ... it could've been worse we could be from the NORTH EAST!
Now, that's mean! Funny as feck, but mean!
This too is funny ... and mean
Oh, let's pray spring hopes eternal for dear Kate ... and we win 5 nil!Where the feck is Tony Valencia?Is Jose doing this shit to try and prove what a genius he is? Out smarting himself in the process?What happened to De Gea?
Fitting response really.
Bet Jose cares much if a couple of anti-Fellaini posters on Redcafe feel insulted that the man with the longest career out of the starting players captains us.12:39
Mourinho explains De Gea absence
He told Sky Sports:
“David has a little problem and he’s not travelled. Normally Sergio plays in the Europa League and that is next Thursday so I much prefer that.”
12:35So changes are,Darmian RB and Afro the captain.
Well i wouldnt use Darmian but dont mind Afro in midfield 3 if its really midfield 3 and not that number 10 bullshit.Why is De Gea benched today? Is it the signal ?FFS Jose , threw a right curved ball there.
Side Show Bob has Captain WTF
Stll the team pick should easy beat Sunderland
He's played heaps over the past few games.
Probably
Anyway, as funny as it is, Felli running out as captain isn't the problem today, it'll be whether we can put our chances away. Let's see what happens.Nice touch from Jose, he'll probably be gone in the summer (hopefully not) but Fellaini will have a great memory from this.
Its a pointless position not sure why people are moaningI'm more worried about Darmian. Fellaini may well give a captains performance today
Can't see Fellaini leaving this summer. It's pretty clear that he's a part of Mourinho's plans.I hope Fosu Mensah comes on todayFellaini as captain says a lot about our team really. No leaders bar Carrick.
He hasn't been benched, he's not in the squad.
Because I'm amazed by your initial reply. Just wow, nothing to say really.
Slight injury.
Yes he's had talks
Calling Carrick a leader is a stretch.
Because if Fellaini wasn't playing we'd be top of the league.. duh!- Status
