Not his biggest fan but very good today, it makes no sense playing mata and Rooney in midfield when we have actual midfielders on the bench.
The change of formation, fellaini and Wilson changed the game for us today.

Pretty much this, should be starting games, blind hope or not but I do hope that we're fecking off from that tumescent 352 shit from now on and we can actually play our midfielders in right positions for once.
He does the simple things very well and because he's such a beast he can turn easily and free up a runner. It's him over Herrera all day at the minute.
Another player who did well when he came on. Our best run did come when he was in the team.
Did very well when he came on.
Come on and did great for us again. Super finish too.
Always said we need him for tough away games like this, great goal and performance from him today.
You dont, why must he be dropped ?
Changed the game for us. So important to acutally have someone in midfield that wins arial duels. And if that means dropping Mata then so be it.
Played well. Should start the next game.
His celebration - ignoring Van Gaal - anyone else notice it?
He actually went to celebrate with Januzaj, not surprised as he's been another one suffering from playing that idiotic formation and other stupid decisions.
And they're best buddies at United of course.
He patted Van Gaal on the back.
Yup. That was one of maybe three highlights from the match...
Played well, great finish. Should probably go back into the team on the basis of today.
Good cameo, good finish.
If we're playing him it should be as part of the diamond. The other midfielders can nullify his weaknesses and he can concentrate on linking play and getting in the box.

And some still refuse to put him in our best XI
. Fecking mindboggling, and use no common sense whatsoever.

Off in the summer then. Should be good material for the Sun as well.
Lots of fun backtracking here today. Thoroughly enjoying myself
Wanted him to be subbed on for Mata last weekend, but it came much much too late. When we're struggling to break a team down, he's a very good player to bring on as a MIDFIELDER.
Only watched the last 15 minutes, but he seemed to be in total control. Thrilled for him.

He is not what we need to take us back to the top of PL, let alone CL, but I am so happy for him. Gives effort where so many others won't/can't.
His fan brigade are out in force I see. He did well when he came on no doubt about that, but if he is really our best CM then we better get investing in that area again pronto.

Shame on them for praising him after a good performance and goal that changed the game for us. It might've benefited or team but how dare they say good things about Fellaini!His fan brigade are out in force I see.
Just start him. He does the job.
Praising him is one thing, you'd think he was Matthaus or Robson the way some are posting about his performance against the worst team in the league.
Exactly! No matter how well he plays he's NOT A GOOD PLAYER. Look at the evidence - he's tall, runs funny imo, and moyes signed him twice! We need to stick hard to the dogma!
for now, while we're pissing about trying to set in a formation that doesn't suit us, too many strikers and attacking mid, and players in the wrong position, he must play.
Loved that he ran up to Januzaj when he scored. At first, I thought he was going to re-enact the high five we saw from Van Persie with Van Gaal in the world cup.
Im pleased for him he scored and all, but still find it abit embarrasing its Fellaini whose saved us out of the rest of them. Least he did mind.
Saying he should start and was great when he came on = Lothar Matthaus
Just give him credit. He's been one of our best players this season, and our results are better with him in the side.
A team that, prior to him coming on, we struggled against and probably looked like losing to.
Is your sole objective of coming to this thread just to attempt to insult those who are praising a good performance that arguably changed the match, or do you have anything constructive to say?
He doesn't have to be those two. He just needs to be our best CM, over Herrera, Rooney, Mata, and Blind. And he does.
I did give him credit, the idea that he should be a starter for us is the road to ruin IMO and I will say it whenever it's made out like he should be, we need better if we intend to return to where we were.
He also performed well vs the best team in the league.
Apologies didn't see that.
In the clip I saw he ran straight past him to Januzaj, then bumped into him on way back and Van Gaal looked awkward.
It must've been shown from a different angle or something.
I didn't realize I wasn't free to make a little joke about how rabidly some rush to praise him, didn't know the Caf was so sensitive.
Well that shouldn't be hard since 2 aren't even CM's, and I don't think he is better than Blind at all.
