Played well. Not just his goal. His passing and retention of the ball under pressure was all very good, which he's always been good at, but people just see him as a chest and a pair of elbows. His goal was a beaut as well. Great strength to brush off Lescott, good touch, quality finish.

He caused problems for them wherever he was. We were losing the physical battle with Mata and Herrera getting pushed around, but he put a stop to that. Good game from him. I hope he can build on it. I've always thought he was a skilled footballer. It's just finding a use for him.
 
He had a solid performance partnering Blind in the middle. At least with Blind covering, he has license to roam forward and make a nuisance of himself.
 
Fair play to him. Was probably our best player in the second half tonight.

He's also invented a new position 'deep lying centre forward'. Its revolutionary.
 
Was frustrated at times last season, we would have games very like this one where teams sat 4-5-1 very deep vs us and defended a lead and Fellaini wasn't used. Fellaini and Falcao on some of those Di Maria crosses first half could have been a different story tonight
 
Never mind his goal, the best thing about his performance today was that he actually tried to play football instead of intentionally trying to hurt the opposing players, and with that, he also managed to be a solid contributor on both sides of the ball.

Why can't he do that (not trying to mangle opponents) every time? Then we could get a gauge of him as a player rather than a complete liability.

Enjoyed his performance today, and never thought I'd say that.
 
He was fantastic. Im not a huge Fellaini basher like some. I do think he may struggle against quality opposition but he's a very good option against mid table premiership teams
 
Good goal, and won us a lot of headers in the midfield. Decent on the ball too.
 
Delighted for him - hopefully this marks the real start of his career here.
 
He did do really well when he came on. Got himself involved and on the ball. His touch was good as well. Great finish to add.
 
He can be very useful when we are chasing a game and need to change gameplans.
 
Fantastic goal, exactly what we thought we were getting when we tried to sign him. That was the kind of thing he was doing most weeks for Everton as an attacker and exactly what he wasn't doing last season, using his strength properly to hold players off and being a threat to goal.

Other than the goal he wasn't much better than an injured Ander. Slightly.
 
In Rooney's absence probably a better option at 10 than Mata. In, and around, the box his strength is such a problem for defenders.
 
Deserved another chance, really good performance from him.

Anyone else want to see how he'd do behind the striker? Could turn out to be better than Mata at least.
 
Should play as a #10 against Chelsea. The amount of crosses Di Maria delivers, he is bound to get on the end of atleast 4 or 5.
 
He seemed really nice in his interview. I hope he can be an assett. I stuck up for him loads last season but I gave up. I'm back Marouane!
