Unless he's played up top as a target man, he's useless.
This is a 100x more watchable, though.
Absolutely nothing to do with Fellaini. This is our MO. Play shite first half, start 2nd half slightly better.
We did nothing in the 2nd half and at the moment mostly defending.
I think we can grind a win, just like last week with Fellaini, but is this really better football? C'mon!
If only we had someone on who was strong on defending our box in the air.
At least our football has still be shit and boring though.

45 mins later in and ?
Like all the sterling defending work he's done defending corners this season? Oh wait...
Yes, in fact.
Oh my...what a magnificent performance it has been without Fellaini. Truly a joy to behold!
Thank feck he's gone off at half time 
He probably was hampering all the players from bench as well. We've played some slick football 2nd half indeed.

Slightly better to begin with. Usual shit thereafter. So ultimately we were shite both ways. Are you happy?
The Fellaini stink strikes back. Relegation form with him!
3 games in 3 seasons. Wonderful
A lot better than 3 games but carry on
We looked a lot better without him for about 7 minutes in the 2nd half, then we went back to looking hopeless, but also losing every 2nd ball, the kind that Fellaini normally wins.
He is a paradox. We're both better and worse without him.

Couldn't have put it better myself.
Your agenda is so blatant.
Maybe you wanna check all my pre-match comments every time he starts. My record is tidy, its not an agenda mate!
When Akash accuses someone of having an agenda re Fellaini!
I think he's shit as well. I don't understand why he's the scapegoat when he's not even the worst CM.
Taking Fellaini out today created lack of balance in our team. Herrera, Mata, Lingard and WJackson are not defensive players, which in the absence of Carrick and Bastian created a hole in our midfield. Half an hour before their goal, I said that they are "cutting our midfield" and that continued to happen. Schneiderlin alone couldn't do the defensive job. I wouldn't take Fellaini off today unless I could introduce Carrick or Bastian, both unavailable. Furthermore, when Fellaini is available in tight matches he can help in two more ways: defending set pieces and being a target up top when we need a goal. We had none of those in the 2nd half today, and we had all last week at Anfield!
He's a fecking shite player who has no business being at a club like United. That's all there is to it. Will almost definitely be sold once LvG gets sacked and I can't wait for the day both him and lvg are gone
Here I was thinking that today's result was down to LVG or the players collectively, but of course thanks to redcafe I have seen the light that it was actually Fellainis fault!
He should be driving around the pitch in a tiny mini wearing a clown suit.
Fans cheering his substitution was appalling. Whether he's good enough or not, he always gives it a good go on the pitch.
Aye, Van Gaal's incompetence is being completely ignored...
He was awful and rightly taken off, hopefully be last we see of him for a while now.
No he doesn't. He's simply lazy. Just strolls around when United don't have the ball.
I don't actually think he's lazy. I think he's just completely clueless as to where to position himself. So he just runs slowly, hoping he's not doing anything wrong. Plus he's a really bad ball-watcher and a really slow-thinker, so he's genuinely just two seconds behind play half the time.
You could well be spot on buddy.
Contributed more in his United career than Herrera though. Should he feck off too?
I knew that people would rave about those six minutes after half-time where we looked better and he was off the pitch. The reality is though that the same thing would have happened had he been on the pitch. There was always going to be a response. Just one of many who is being played out of position and struggling. He wasn't that bad, won the ball back a few times, but wasn't good either.
shit dipped in shit
Fellaini supporters can do one, honestly. There's a long standing tradition of a select few of his bandwagoners frequently taking pot shots at other players in this very thread just to make a case for him. Discuss his merits, and pipe down. No need to blab about Ander in his thread or here just to prove a point about Marouane the donkey. Do people incessantly bring up Fellaini in Mata/ Darmian/ Rooney/ Memphis's threads? No they don't, and for good reason. You don't need to put down one player in another one's thread to fortify your argument. Do it on the basis of that individual player's record/ accomplishments/ perceived talent level.
/rant. And nah, you don't need to dig up posts from the other threads. The primary issue is with the frequency.

You probably are right but it is not like the balance of discussion is fair on either side.
I think I keep saying this, but he should never start at DM or in a 2 man midfield again.
In fact he really shouldnt start for us at all and should be a plan C or D (like when we were losing 1-0 today and should have come on last 5 minutes)
But saying that, the guy need to JUMP. JUMP MAN!!! He just tries to lean and never jumps. And when he does jump it seemingly goes over his head or he ducks under it. Hes a big man who can only use his chest it seems.

? What exactly has fellaini done? Herrera has more United goals then Fellaini does in 23 fewer games played
When we hit our stretch of form toward the end of last season Fellaini was our best player. Maybe 2nd best with De Gea but whatever, he contributed more than Herrera. Not saying Herrera was bad, he just wasn't as pivotal. So in my opinion Fellaini has had a period of football that is superior to anything Herrera has produced with us. So he arguably has more business being here than Herrera.
This will be a pointless discussion though because we clearly have very different views on both players.
Disagree personally. Thought Herrera played a much bigger part in our overall game, and while Fellaini did well in helping us get the ball farther up the pitch by bringing down the long balls, it was always more of a means to an end, while Herrera just genuinely played really well and was exactly the type of player we cried out for for years.
Agree to disagree though.
