Never a booking
Integral in the goal, should arguably have had another penalty (defender just dives across him, should be obstruction) and his touch just now led to the Rooney chance that should have been a goal.
Haters gonna hate...

Very good so far.
To have a goalkeeper and Fellaini defending set pieces in your own box is almost unfair to the opposition when they play it high.
of course it's a booking. he's already been warned what... three times?
Why is he hauling back an opposition player just outside the box when he's already on a yellow? His discipline is woeful.
Nice assist for their goal.
Been a walking disaster today in this role
It's embarrassing to watch him play. He's absolutely shite
Harsh to blame him for that. He was providing some defensive cover since Smalling wasn't in the box.
Warick Davis is more of a threat in the air than this lad
Haters gonna hate, eh.
Yup
He did cause the start of the goal with a limp pass to Rooney. He can't hit a weighted pass to save his life.
Tragic from him today.
He probably needs to come off at half-time. It's been a mixed game for him; he's actually been useful on occasion defensively and offered cover for their 2nd goal even if it proved futile, but his discipline is worryingly bad. He could end up with a red card at this rate, and I'm not sure it's a risk we should be taking.
Never realised that, will need to go back and have a look at their goal again. It was well worked from them, in all fairness, so I wouldn't place too much blame on him for it. His horrendous discipline is by far the bigger issue.
He is one of the dumbest players I have ever seen, seems to play with zero intelligence, tonight his all round play has been poor but he has had some effective moments.
He's so off the pace, should be off and heads it straight to Wijnaldum for their goal.
Without saying anything about the rest of his performance, he does give away the ball for their goal, and should have won the header in the box because he just had to stand his ground.
Buying your kid a United top with Fellaini at the back is bad parenting!
Has he ever scored from a corner for us?
May have done today if not for the defender using his hand to block the shot, for all we know.
The keeper was right there, pretty much no chance it'd have gone in.
Should've done better with the header but unlucky it landed exactly where it did.
But my word he's a total fecking idiot. Can't defend properly for shit

If we feel like we need him purely from a defensive point of view - that is tragic.
But it's all I can come up with, because having him attempting to pass it 10 yards, or turn a man in the circle is like watching non-league player. When we have the ball he's so, so poor.

That tug on a Newcastle player while on a yellow card just sums him up. Absolutely no intelligence, reckless player who doesn't provide enough to make up for his shortcomings.
Can't stand this prick. Needless fouls and weak as piss. Never a United player and an embarrassment.
Aye, for as much of a bombscare as he's been, I actually think it's quite harsh to blame him for that because he'd gone back to provide some cover and just tried to head it away in the moment. Smalling's away more at fault, although even then I wouldn't blame him too much because it was an excellent goal.
So he won us a penalty, started a break from which Rooney should have scored, and could have had another penalty (but was booked instead bizarrely).
On their goal he can definitely do better, but he is doing the right thing by going back to defend and helping Blind against Mitrovic. The majority of the blame lies on Smalling for not tracking the runner (and I am a big Smalling fan).
Of course, once again this leads to the Fellaini thread being laden with insults and comments about how he is apparently stupid, the worst player ever to play for us, a disgrace, an embarrassment to the shirt and all the usual shite. If he scored a hattrick most people would still probably rate him a grudging 5/10.
Only an idiot would think he's a central midfielder after the last 7.5 years in the Premier League. He's slow, is technically poor, has an awful passing range, has bad fitness and is positionally indisciplined.
I can't think of a single quality that that would make anyone think he's a central midfielder. He's a Tony Pulis style supporting forward or plan B striker. That's what we paid £27m for.

Aye, that was completely bizarre. Couldn't believe what he was doing. A lot of his fouls are really, really unnecessary too. The fact that the ref's given him a yellow presumably for a collection of small offences shows he'll probably be willing to do the same in the 2nd half if it continues.
He did win us a penalty to be fair...
In his very slight defence... he is not being helped by his midfield partner at all. Also, his booking was a complete joke.
Not that he's been good or anything, but yeah.

He's an eyesore as a CM. Can't make a weighted pass and doesn't have any brain cells.
As in he should have been booked about 20 minutes before that?
I agree with you on most of that (certainly don't blame him for the header because he was providing defensive cover), but most of the complaints about him are completely legit. I notice that you've completely ignored his disciplinary issues, because the booking was for a collection of offences, and I'm not sure where you're getting the idea that he should've been getting a penalty from. His hauling back a Newcastle player just after the half hour when he was on a yellow sums up his horrendous discipline. He's been okay; certainly had worse games, but there's a genuine risk that he's going to get sent off in the second half.
You'd have a point if everything else he's done in this match weren't so brain dead. He's passed it to no one, lost possession numerous times in the heart of midfield, committed 4 fouls in the first 20 minutes and then didn't let it stop him fouling some more.
I think most fans gave him the benefit of the doubt last season when he scored some important goals for us and was a good option, but he's been completely awful every time I've seen him this season. When he plays, the whole team plays poorly, and the results bear that out. Add in the fact that despite being massive he is weak on the ball and that most of his fouls are snide...there's just not much to love.
