He goes against everything the club stands for. He's not only a vicious animal, he's also a clumsy footballer who's not suited to a club with such traditionally good football.
 
I've always defended his performances and thought he can do a job in the centre of the park but he's undefendable today along with the rest of the squad.

LVG's decision to continue playing him as a no.10 is just baffling and his downfall really.
 
First thing Mourinho needs to do with him is cut his hair.

Second thing is sell him
 
He's just the most useless player I've ever seen play for United. The most "un-United" player ever. Players like Alan Smith, Luke Chadwick etc used to give their all for us even though they were never good enough for this level. This oaf is just pathetic. We gave Everton 27 million for him, we could have donated the money to charity instead.
That is my biggest grief with him. The guy really shows no fight whatsoever. Ambles around 2 feet away from the CBs when they have the ball. The likes of Herrera scamper to close down opponents but he stays up top as if he will score a hattrick every time. Just hope we sell him in the summer and get some decent fee for him. He is the most useless player I have seen in that I don't know what exactly is it that he offers.
 
You'd think LVG would:

Bring on Rooney for Fellaini, play him as a number 10 with Martial up front
Bring on Pereira for Memphis, play him on the left with Mata on the right
Have Carrick and Herrera boss the midfield.

But what LVG did:

Brought on Rooney for Memphis, pushed Martial out wide, kept Rooney up front as a number 9 with Fellaini in the hole.
Brought on Pereira for Herrera, and kept him in CM, where he got muscled off the ball every time he received it.

I seriously dont understand LVG's thinking.

You mean playing a CM in CM? He also made 19 touches and was only dispossessed once and made 1 incomplete pass so not anywhere near being muscled off the ball every time he received it. There are enough problems in the side, you really don't have to go making stuff up.
 
He needs to be put out of his misery. He's not got the skill-set for anything other than a target man - and an iffy one at that.
Someone like Alli or Tielemans could be/could have been signed for 1/3 the price at most. And they're already better players.

You can find better midfielders in the Championship.

I wanted to post something similar.

He didn't even look like he was trying to today. He survived the summer because he showed he can be useful at the tail end of last season but for a guy as untalented as he is to not put in any effort, it's criminal.
 
I'm really finding it hard to remember how he managed to be a Premier League midfielder for several years before we wasted £27m on him. Insultingly awful today.

Put him in a mid table side and he'll look quality. There's a reason why a lot of goal scoring chances fall to him because he puts himself about. At United or a supposed top side he'll struggle as we see as his weaknesses are highlighted due to having to reign himself in.
 
Carrick-Fellaini is the slowest CM I've ever seen in football and that include testimonial games
 
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?
@charleysurf has an agenda against certain United players and he always attacks those when someone else, particularly one of his darlings is criticised. It was\is the same with Kagawa, Herrera.

Basically, if most of the Caf likes a player, he goes out of his way to shit on those players and makes a point of calling everyone else hipsters for liking them - which is ironic, really.

You're one step away of him calling you a Dortmund supporter. Also, don't ever defend the players he hates, like Depay and Herrera.
 
The trouble is, you see him going to all this effort trying to win a ball... but the oaf is just so uncoordinated and gangly that he almost inevitably will concede a foul in the process. Then he has this look of bewilderment on his face as if to say "it's not my fault I'm the human equivalent of an oak tree".

He is incredibly frustrating to watch.
 
He's just not good enough. End of. And unlike possibly some of the others, a change of manager won't make a difference. Even Walrus can't be arsed enough to poke his oblong-shaped head into this thread and defend him anymore.
 
He had a good season last season, but he's clearly not good enough for the level we aspire to.

He should be sold in the summer.
 
I hope he never plays for United again, with a bit of luck LVG will be sacked by tomorrow and whoever is in charge come Chelsea will see sense and leave him sat in the stands.

I actually hate watching United with him in our team, it's a huge sign of how times have changed.
 
You won't win much with the likes of Fellaini, Carrick, Rooney and Jones in your side. So much downright shit in the side.
 
Needs to be the first player out in the summer, West Brom, Sunderland, or Newcastle might be interested, but reckon he'll go abroad.
 
I said he was crap week after we bought him. Was called names at that time.

you'll continue to get shite too, the lad can do no wrong in some people's eyes.

fair f**ks to him, he wasn't going to turn down a move to united so you can't blame him for coming, but he's just woeful for a club of the standard we were/expect to be.
 
I remember when on other board I claimed that 15m€ would be too much for him.
 
Benitez wanted him in Napoli. Surprise move to Madrid? :drool:

Could have long-reaching consequences. Ronaldo only comes 2nd for best styled hair in the Christmas party, becomes alienated, and leaves...

Last summer was the perfect chance to sell him, when his stock was about as high as it was ever going to get under us. But no, we're fecking idiots and prefer that players completely de-value themselves before we let them go. See Anderson.

I reckon, we would've rejected a £50m bid for David Luiz.
 
And lets not forget we paid more than his release clause just for shits and giggles.
 
Fellaini being in the team epitomizes everything that has gone wrong in the team over the past couple of years.

He's simply not good enough for a team who have ambition beyond hoping to quality for the CL.
 
With the way they're playing now, he wouldn't even have started for Stoke today.
 
Terrible form and game but still a very good player.
One of the worst players to ever play regularly for United, in my opinion. He's everything that we should be looking to avoid in football.

Players like Fellaini make me want to stop watching the game.
 
The good news is other prem clubs could probably afford to pay him 3/4 of his wages. The bad news is he would probably turn into a star again every time he plays us.

I still think keeping him as a squad player can't hurt, but he needs to be purely an impact sub whether attacking or defensively.

The fact is though we are relying on him to advance up the field, and that frankly is ridiculous.
 
He was awful once again, makes us so limited, will be delighted when never have to watch him play for us again. Along with mata and Rooney he needs to be shipped out in the summer.
 
A tall clown
An Everton midfielder
A ghost of the ruin Moyes dragged us to
A symbol of the state that LVG has led us to
