I blame that wing, it can't help.

He's crap at heading. Chest control is his best asset bizarrely.
Just pay them that amount to take him
He has great chest control, he is big and awkward but other than that is lacking in every other area and skill set required to perform the role he was asked to play tonight, a really bad performance as has been the case in pretty much every game he has played this season, we are a worse team when he plays simple as that.
Why do people keep saying he won his headers?
He got beaten to every challenged header he actually had. I saw players like Perez beating him in the air.

For the measly sum of £15 million, I would personally drop off Fellaini to Milan myself in my VW Polo.
It's not only his lack of technical ability that astonishes me but also his lack of intelligence on the field.
There really is no excuse for playing him so much. He has something he can offer but it's crazy how much game time we give him. He's just not got enough quality to play there. He's literally in the team for his height alone and it's not enough. Should be Herrera in there with Schniederlin in a game like this.
He makes me wanna join a club again. Still 22, who knows. This guy gets wayyy too much game time.
I already said if I win the lottery tomorrow night I'll pay it for them if you don't mind driving.
If Paddy Evra and Fellaini competed for a ball in the air, I'd back Evra to win it 99 times out of 100.
Amazing for someone so tall that he's complete shit at headers as well. His only good thing is chesting the ball down basically. Crazy that he's even at a club like united, let alone getting so much playing time. Will be genuinely delighted when hes sold

All chances where he must score with just keeper to beat and he hits it straight at the keeper. Its fecking ridiculous.
He and Lingard have coughed up so many chances between them. It's a joke at this stage

Is chesting even a skill?
To be fair to him, he does bring long balls down on his chest really well, better then most other footballers.... Just that shouldn't exactly be enough to play at UnitedFully expect FM to have chesting as an attribute in the future. Fellaini's chesting would be 20.Is chesting even a skill?
The amount of silly fouls he gives away is incredible. He just comes across really stupid on the field.
I dont know or understand how he terrorized us with Everton. He must have been jumping for headers with Rio and avoided Vidic at every turn. Because Vidic is probably the best header of the ball ive seen in the prem in the last decade or so, and he would win every header against Marouane.
Everton played to his strength (that 20 chest control) and aimed balls at his chest for him to hold up. We aim balls at his head.
He's one of the worst central midfield players I've seen play for us, who've started regularly.
Just absolutely awful.
Stoke away too, could have had us back in the game.
Don't think I've ever hated a United player so much. Feels like he's poisoned the club since he arrived.
Maybe he and LVG can take the cab to the airport together. Can't let Fellaini drive since he'd drive straight into the airport.
I just can't fathom why he is such a poor finisher. Was he always this bad at it? I always presumed no matter how poor his general play could be.. he was a bona fide threat in front of goal.
He still attracts goal mouth action but he needs to be much more efficient in front of goal to warrant a place at this club. His only saving grace is that he can influence the results of football matches during key moments. . If he loses this ability, he becomes a useless player for us.

It's starting to seem like this guy isn't very popular here.
Not sure who's more to blame for this mess. Moyes who apparently thought it would be wise to bring him in, or Van Gaal who was too stupid to offload him, probably just because we played well in a couple of matches he featured in last year.
It's just sad now, he's already into his third season here and he hasn't even scored 10 goals for us in total. He works quite hard and has all the ingredients to be a cult-hero, if it weren't for the fact that most aspects of his game are just very poor and he sucks at playing football.
In the meanwhile Van Gaal decided proven goalscorers like Chicharito or even RvP weren't needed anymore and now we're 6th in the league. You can't make this shit up.

Those are some damning stats. He's just poor unless he's used in a very specific way. Playing in central midfield he can't even run with the ball. There was a point, in the second half I think, where Rooney played a lovely dinked ball to him and all he did was casually stroll with the ball, then fell over in an attempt to win a free-kick. Horrible.
Rafael would beat Fellaini 99 times in the air!
But shouldn't you expect that from the tallest players on the pitch? When he does it, its not chesting but his chest being there at the right place at the right time. Chesting is a way of CONTROLLING a ball. Is it controlling when you are not in control of the second touch?
This thread is basically what I expected.
Frustrating game for him. I thought he was quite good defensively. He made a few clearances and helped Blind out on occasion. A few niggly fouls that could have been avoided but you get them with him. His confidence is gone in front of goal. Ever since the game against Everton last season when he blasted one over he just doesn't seem to be able to score. Before that though he was quite good so it could just be a confidence issue.
I haven't done my ratings yet but i'm expecting him to have the lowest, despite it not being deserved. Did Schneiderlin even play? For all Fellaini's faults he is no coward. Constantly tries to be involved with the game and look for the ball.
EDIT: He has a lower rating than Smalling!
Come on. He wasn't good but that is just insane.

I remember that moment. I was annoyed because it was a good pass and he was in a great position but he was so lethargic and slow to the ball.

That is not true. If you have time watch the full match again and concentrate on his off the ball position and runs, it was cowardly. Blind had to run ahead of him many times while he just drifting. It's easy to look impressive by aimless drifting, like you are look for the ball. Drifting in offence is looking for advantageous openings and defensive drifting is looking to stifle opposition attacks.
I'm not surprised he has a lower rating. He made countless errors. Just because his errors are higher up the pitch doesn't mean he didn't make more errors. If Smalling played with a Fellaini-esque performance we would have conceeded more goals.
The day is he is sold I'll celebrate it like a title win. Can't come soon enough.
Not United quality by any stretch of the imagination. the sooner he's replaced the better off we'll be. He's such a limited, clumsy player.
Sell this oaf please!
I don't really want to join in the bashing but one thing i do wonder after having watched this guy for nearly 3 years now is.
What is his actual position?
For me he isn't a DM, his positional discipline or passing isn't good enough to be a proper CM. And he isn't good enough in general to be a no10, certainly not for a team with any ambition. And he sure as shit is no striker.
He needs to have a team built around him like he had at Everton to really shine i think. I just don't wish to ever watch a United team long term that's built around a player of his type.
