I thought he was decent for Belgium. They were quite poor but IMO he was in their best two or three.

He needs only couple of good games for us for people to say that we won those games just because of him. You would think we never won the game without him in our side. He scored fecking 3 goals all season despite even playing as a striker at times ffs.
Mamy still say we reached the top4 last season only because of him.
Have you even been in Herrera's thread this season? Majority are saying he's had really shit season including his biggest fans(you can include me too there), how can you even say something like that?
I really hate this thread for things like this. Anytime he plays well his team has won the game because of him, maybe because you people think he is better than Messi?
Majority said he had really shit season because he had poor season. But majority people wanted to see him in starting eleven every single game last season. Even in some of our muppet next season starting eleven Herrera is in the list.
That's because people believe he has the ability to do well for us. Many of us don't have the same opinion about Fellaini.
I guess the guy was right saying "too many people busy wanking on herrera" even though he put poor performance every games.
Except majority admitting he was shit last season? yeah, great argument.
Again, it's very simple:
People acknowledge Herrera was bad but they believe he can do much better.
People acknowledge Fellaini was bad and they believe he cannot do much better, this is the best we can hope for and it's not enough.
It's not complicated. You might disagree with their assessment of either player, of course.
You don't get it don't you? Even though the argument is so simple. He was right about people wanking on herrera.
Like i said before majority admitted he was shit which is true. But every week they were keep saying to play Herrera ahead of Fellaini even though in reality he played poor and Fellaini had a better games.
He's here now, we wont get a good fee for him so there's bugger all point selling him. Keep him as a bit part squad player, he's always fit at least, as long as he's not first choice.
People acknowledge Herrera was bad but they believe he can do much better every weeks and the result is he didn't. And it was on and on until end of season.
People acknowledge Fellaini was bad and they believe he cannot do much better but in reality he had better games than Herrera and people still believed that Herrera could do better even after so many times of their theory and beliefs are proven to be wrong.
I'm so torn on Marouane. He's really not the kind of player I want to be part of the First XI going forward, but then again he's scored some important goals, and at some points last season he looked like the only player who gave a shit. It's just a lack of overall ability that lets him down.
If only he could absorb the skill and grace of a fellow big man like Zlatan, a la those aliens from the space jam movie. He'd be some player!
Alas, only in my dreams.

No, Fellaini was probably equally bad, maybe even worse. But then you lot pretend he is good at times even when he is our worst player on the pitch. He was also shite in front of goal. But anyway people think that we will be better playing the likes of Herrera instead of the likes of Fellaini who simply isn't type of player who should be playing for us nor move us forward.
Fellaini won't probably play much under Mourinho, or at least he'll play lot less than Herrera, simply because playing Fellaini isn't the way forward for a team or even club like United, Mourinho knows that. Many are laughing at us for having Fellaini, but not many think the same about Herrera, which kind of proves that it's not just "Herrera's fans" who don't like Fellaini.
I'd yet to see any opposing fan being bother by us having Herrera. Except that "provoked" Slippy-G stamp.
edit: Also, I predict Fellaini will actually get more game time than Herrera.
He makes a lot of positive contributions.
I can recall the good and decent games of Fellaini last season but I seriously can't think a single good or decent game from Herrera last season. If you think Herrera had a better season than Fellaini then I don't know what kind of games you watched or you just one of those people that the poster said 'wanking on Herrera' and those people who had no clue but laughing. It's fair enough if people said Fellaini is not United quality and have a poor season but I don't think the poster is wrong calling people are wanking on Herrera because the reality is true. Every single games Herrera played, he always had poor games and people are being stubborn and keep saying the same thing 'Herrera should start' 'Herrera should play' even though it has been proven until end of the season that the theory and beliefs are wrong.
Why isn't he playing today, I read here he was their best player in last game? Wilmots has an agenda against him too?
He is just, you know, a bit average. A sub you throw in in the last 20 minutes when you chase a goal and hope he scores somehow with his mob.
That's exactly how you would explain it. I mean how else would he be able to destroy a Man united side on the opening day of the season all alone?
Well if you play like Everton, but Belgium and United have different plans than just lumbing the ball every 2 mins all game to his mob and chest.
His whole supposed skillset is nullified by the fact he's so clumsy. He should boss games with his size and aggression but he's so sloppy and constantly leads with his elbows and has such exaggerated movements that every other challenge he makes is a stupid foul. I'm sick to death of watching it.
He does.
He really doesn't. I'd be interested to hear your definition of "bossing" a game.
Very rarely. The majority of time he either slows up our play or gives away a needless foul conceding possession and momentum.
You didn't mention anything about him being average in our current setup. You said he was average. Also, if you think Everton were "lumbing" the ball forward while he played there you didn't follow Everton at all and are just repeating a myth many say on here.
When you say destroy are you referring to that time he beat Carrick to a header when he was playing at Centre back?
Very rarely.
Seriously? When played in the right position (to me as the most advanced in a three) he dominates, in my opinion.
When a manager like Mourinho specifically goes out his way to try and mark Fellaini out the game. That's something Sir Alex did with Pirlo, Ozil, etc.
if fellaini starts for your team, it means you are shite. Simple.
White text??...please??
The tallest guy on the pitch who is constantly running into the box and a target for long balls would be man marked whatever level you play at, whether that's Jose Mourinho or Uncle Jim, the manager of the local under 8s. It's basic logic. It says nothing about Fellaini's 'talent'.
Pretty much that. He is most of the time uselesss, his few goals dont change it. He had 3 seasons here and is still average
Stop nitpicking around, of course i meant for top level football. He would be useless in every setup that isnt based on long ball football and him playing at the 10. He always dominated because of his chest and mob, not because of the abilities that matter in every top clubs setup. Plus he is clumsy as it gets and an elbow waiting to happen. He will be basically our Mikel to tighten things up in midfield or someone we throw at some point and hope for the best.
This is what I always say. Would he start for Bayern/Barca/Madrid? if the answer is no then why is he starting for us. We want to go back to being at the level of those other 3 teams.
Yup, not in slightest bit surprised Belgium look a miles better and more fluid team today.
Fellaini was one of our better midfielders this season. Unfortunately no one likes him or has ever liked him so he ends up taking a lot of shite on here while a lot of the other players get of easily or (And this is positively hilarious) their form is blamed on Fellaini. Needs to leave though as he's not good but hope he does well wherever he plays.
Fixed Akash.
It's amazing that you're against Zlatan when we were playing such a limited midfielder for the sole reason that he added fight, height and a target when needed.
Aside from that being completely bollocks you seemed to have missed the point quite spectacularly.
I think the contrast in quality of the opposition side plays a bigger factor.

Nope, I really don't think I have. Who doesn't get shit on here? "Weak overrated Herrera", "old man Carrick", "too slow fat Schweinsteiger", "waste of money sideways Morgan" "sell him to China Rooney"..
Who gets off "easily"?
Said it time after time again. He's a lightning rod for negativity yet you had people thinking he was anywhere near their best player against Italy.
Needs to be binned by Jose.
Needs to be binned by Jose.
It has nothing to do with his talent and everything with the way LVG set up the team. With him as a focal point of the attack, United were completely one-dimensional, and the fact that he was chosen by Mourinho has everything to do with the fact that he is a weak link in this scheme and very little with the fact that he is as influential individually as Pirlo/Ozil. And the fact that Zouma completely nullified him also doesn't do Fellaini any favors.
Ireland are not push overs and neither are they slouches.
You gotta be kidding me. Any criticism of the other midfielders is almost always tempered with how they have been vangled. Not to mention the amount of shit Fellaini got for being the reason some of those midfielders are shit. According to some he was the reason we were playing shit football.
I mean I do agree he's a bit shit and should be sold but if you think Fellaini is being treated just like any other player then you're batshit blind. There were people quite literally questioning whether he was championship standard. The mind boggles.
