And your attitude is the reason Anderson is still drawing a substantial wage packet at the club
"He's good in the dressing room" does not vindicate being included in the squad, might as well sign a comedian to sit on the bench while we're at it

I was joking. See previous page.
No, we need some older heads now we've offloaded most of our experience. Comparing that to Anderson is moronic. Also if you actually read my post I said Fletcher is a better option (on the pitch) than Anderson. That's two reasons for preferring Fletcher to Anderson. My main point was a different one though, Fletcher should be given at least this season to prove his worth to LVG (and to prove to himself he can still contribute). Luckily I think LVG agrees with me and not you there.
And why are we as fans bringing wages into this, especially when it's someone who's not on a massive wage?
Problem with this logic is, that generally when Fletcher comes on late in games we actually lose control of them and start to concede chances and all round just look far worse as a team. Experience is all well and good, but you need the body and skill still to be able to back it up, and sadly Fletcher isn't able to do that any more.
I would be happy if we don't see Fletcher come on anymore, and instead move him into a non playing role.
It's been evident since the Burnley game. Maybe before, but it certainly stood out in the Burnley game for me.
It's a bit painful watching him these days knowing that at one point he was the exact opposite to what he has become now - slow, lethargic and pointless. Should have kept Cleverley tbh.
Fletcher is much quicker in the mind than
Also for his role at the club and their current career stages it's best for both of them.
Loyalty is great and everything but I think Fletcher needs to meet the club half way and join the coaching staff with Giggs, that way his influence on the players in training and the dressing room remains, but he no longer takes up a spot that he can't fulfill.
Some have suggested Fletcher should join the coaching staff. Does he even have his badges?
I wonder how he feels about these little cameos, they almost seem like a sentimental gesture as opposed to something valuable to seeing out games.
Aston Villa 1:1 Man Utd
If he loves United he should quit as a player and join the coaching staff
Sadly, looking completely off the pace. But not like we had much of a choice today
He's not good enough for any premier league club let alone us.
Yeah he's a million miles away from the required standard.
Horrible performance so far.
Currently offers nothing for us on the pitch unfortunately.
Eeschk.
He's nowhere near good enough. Give him a coaching job or whatever but the quicker he's off the playing books the better.
Sad to see, fully expect him to go this season. It really is like playing without a midfield with him in the side.
Lovely guy, has been a great player for us but at the moment he is a complete liability. Sub now.
Receive a pass, stop, look around for two seconds, pass it somewhere else. Turtle tempo and lot of predictability.
I see Di Maria is on the bench. I hope he gets a 20/30 minute run in place of him.
very much last choice in midfield, but he does the basics.
His ability to pass the ball out of play, into the middle of nowhere, or to the opposition is quite impressive.
Horrible to see whats happened to him

Has given the ball away far too much, very poor today. Certainly shouldn't be starting.
He's done.
Finished at the highest level and that for quite some time now
Oh so that's why people were worrying about him starting in the Matchday thread? Yep, they're the stupid ones...
Sentimentality is the only reason he will stay here. He isn't even a prem player. Send him back to a lesser league.
Not good so far.
Don't understand why he gets the call up over Herrera. Its mental.
He is far from great, but he is still playing much better than so called world class, caf's favourite Mata and Falcao.
He should have quit ages ago.
Herrera is ill.
The rest of the team are actually playing with some intensity I think, it's just whenever he gets it we completely slow down.
No, no he isn't. Falcao has made all sorts of clever runs and is getting completely ignored. Fletcher hasn't had a decent pass, block, interception or tackle, yet and the game is completely passing him by.
I used to think he could finish his career at Celtic. Doubt he'd get in ahead of Scott Brown playing like that mind.
Unless there's a massive turnaround I can't see this being anything other than his last season here.

Rather have Valencia in midfield and Rafael as right back.
Shame. Two steps behind the pace when Villa counter and offers little going forward. Carrick should be pushed up into MF.
