What's ironic is that the supposedly attacking, bold, Dutch total-football enthusiast has used him and centered his game plan on him more frequently than wee Davie Moyes.

When Moyes was in charge and we were hearing him openly talking about big rebuild, more big signings to come I half-expected him to ditch Fellaini. He got sacked and a year and a half later the big man is still here.

 

[iKeano]

A clown. Redundant, slow, clumsy... How he is a premier league footballer is beyond me, let alone how he gets a game for Utd.
We will never contend a trophy with this clown anywhere near our starting XI.

THe only reason I rate him 1, is because it won't let me rate him zero. He's a symbol of the detritus the club is going through, the ghost of Moyes and the arrogance of Van Gaal.

 

[Player Red]

I dont blame him for playing I blame the guy that keeps relying on him (and seems to be starting him in a 2 man midfield with Carrick) but then looking like telling him to push forward and stay there.

One thing I do blame him for is how he doesnt actually jump when crosses are put in. He really shouldnt be losing headers yet he somehow does.

Exactly, he has done this several times leaving us with basically a one man midfield. He had 37 touches in his 60mins. Herrera had 40+ after he came on. It just beggars belief that LVG puts him in midfield and then obviously tells him not to play there. Shocking stuff.

 

[Deleted member 78215]

He's definitely being told to just get forward and not support the central midfield, meaning LVG's tactics are absolutely shite.

 

[Sunny Jim]

Said he was shite ages ago, cant be arsed to repeat the same thing 2 yeara later. I dont even notice him on the pitch any more.

I wonder will Mr Stat Gaal notice this, or will Fellaini inexplicably slip through the next again and avoid criticism.
Fellaini needs to go & Van Gaal needs to go.

Exactly this. He was an Everton midfielder that had a good game against us once. Shite player, paid for over the odds by a shite manager & stubbornly persisted with by another currently shite manager.

Bags of shite all round this Christmas!

 

[ZDwyr]

I'm a defender of Fellaini but he was poor. I only half blame him though because van Gaal clearly tells him to play in an advanced role, he wouldn't be picked if he decided to play that way himself. The space he leaves in midfield is a huge issue though. I am not really sure what LvG is thinking.

 

[NinjaZombie]

It's baffling. Carrick of 5 years ago wouldn't be able to cope, let alone a 35 year old Carrick. It's madness.

 

[Speak]

Ball-watcher.
Poor heading technique.
Can't do - in three or four laboured touches - what other midfielders can do in one or two quick ones.
Gives away fouls.
Horrible positional sense, which leads to him just jogging about somewhere.
Poor turning circle - leading to being turned or giving away fouls.

He's only useful when he's doing a role that involves zero brain power, zero positional sense, zero proper movement. Basically just being a nuisance near the opposition's goal.

 

[Fergus' son]

Why does this mug still play for us??

 

[BlahRules]

Just like Rooney disrupts the game play every chance he has. Did Van Gaal tell him his the focal point to all our attack

 

[Beachryan]

He makes us so much worse. Hate to wish for an injury, but seriously. Can't we get a minor hammy tweak or something?

You're making excuses for your beloved Depay in his thread after he destroys us with stupidity, and then you want one of our players injured?

You are the worst poster on this forum. The sooner you clear off to RAWK or Arsenal Mania the better.

 

[.Rossi]

Does he have a free role or something?

He's just wandering around half the time

 

[Godfather]

In no other half decent club in the world would he get minutes

Whoa, easy there. Obviously it's Depay's fault - I don't even like him - but as a goalkeeper in that situation, your LW under pressure and being closed down, you come closer to him to make life easier. That's just basic.

I don't want Fellaini properly hurt, would just love to see us playing with 4 footballers up front for once. If you believe he's contributing, please feel free to articulate that here. All I see is an excuse for our cowardly players to hoof it.

He has free role since we bought him because he doesn't have a discipline to keep position in any role he plays.

 

[Adisa]

LVG deserves whatever he gets for sticking with this guy. No positional sense whatsoever.

I'd rather have Fellaini out there than a coward like your Depay.

 

[kps88]

He's the perfect example of someone just not being a United player.

 

[Lawman]

playing Mata is like having 10 men

 

[NK86]

I'd rather have Fellaini out there than a coward like your Depay.

Coward! What has he done to deserve that criticism?

 

[Beachryan]

I'd rather have Fellaini out there than a coward like your Depay.

Seriously, go get some air at half time or something. I could care less about Depay. Saying DDG could have helped out is hardly supporting the prima donna. I'd have Young out there over him in a heartbeat.

This is the Fellaini thread. Given you're so worked up about a meaningless football match, why don't you offer something on him?

Hey, concentrate on the match, you might miss a United player getting injured...

Yep me also but It would be nice if any our players had some balls Smalling Young and Martial excluded

 

[Samid]

Such a nothing player.

 

[100]

Moyes faith in Fellaini is part of what made me lose hope in him, it's now a major reason as to why I've given up on LvG. Awful, braindead player.

 

[devilish]

If I was United's manager I would push for a deal with Stoke so that he finds himself playing in the other side after the second half. He's got Stoke player written all over him

 

[kouroux]

He is a stupid player isn't he ? Wtf was that on the CK ?

 

[Insanity]

Bullshit. Stoke won't go anywhere near him. This is not Pulis' Stoke.

 

[clarkydaz]

what I like about fellers is how subtle he is. Try and twist a defenders head off waiting for a cross

 

[Manny]

he's killing me.

Such a braindead, lazy, static player.

 

[shaggy]

£150 million spent on this clown, Depay, Mata, Schneiderlin, Herrera. Where are the performances to back up this amount of money spent ???????

 

[Skills]

What is the point of him? Has he won a single header that we're hoofing up to him?

 

[Ash_G]

Go to question why we keep persisting with him like this. I've said it before either it's tactical to let him have such freedom in which case I don't think his output can justify what he takes away from the team or he's going against the managers wishes in which case you question why it's allowed to continue.

Answer:

He is a stupid player.

Once again, how on earth can a man of his height be so shit in the air?

Question:


Answer:

I'm just trying to find the funny side of it. It is too depressing otherwise, the guy knows he's watched closely by refs during set pieces and he still does that. I mean wtf ?

Awful
