A man who is mad for possession persisting with someone who continuously gives it away. Bizarre.
 
Had a couple of rubbish passes but Schneiderlin was at fault for their goal and did barely anything going forward, Fellaini was involved in a couple of bits of play that could have been goals at least. Average Fellaini performance and poor by Schneiderlin but as usual Marouane is the spacegoat.

He's not a scapegoat. He just wasn't good. Neither was Schneiderlin, but he has potential to be a decent United player. Fellaini doesn't. Ever. Gave the ball away constantly, gave away at least 2 needless fouls - one of them when he should be jumping for a header. Yes, he did have a couple of moments that were decent, but the bad as always far outweighed the good.
 
I don't understand how anyone can see how much space his leaving for Derby to attack. It's not Schneiderlin fault he has to cover for this donkey. He is not a midfielder or a football of such.

You have to be pretty bloody stupid to still think that Fellaini isn't instructed to get up the pitch by LVG.
 
All the open play stuff he's been typically useless. But he's won almost every corner he's been defending.

I guess that's his only purpose in this team.
 
Good performance today. Two good chances that he created in a addition to very good defending.
 
It got glossed over of course, but he was substituted in the Southampton game and we ended up conceding a header from a set piece. Tonight he has yet again defended pretty much every corner we have conceded, not for the first time - I am sure this is a big part of why LVG rarely subs him.
 
5.5 average rating at the minute... Are people just used to giving him shit ratings? I'm not saying he had a blinder but he deserves higher than that.
 
Playing him in a midfield 2 is the same as playing a midfield 1 as he is positionally one of the worst CM's I've ever seen. He did more with the ball than Schneiderlin though and won some good defesnive headers on set pieces.
 
Sure he clears the ball with his head, but you expect more of a midfielder than that. Especially one playing in a midfield two, especially at United. It's not all his fault either, everyone knows what a limited player he is. We should be doing more to avoid being in this situation.
 
In the first half, he stood in the centre circle, with the ball at his feet, unchallenged for a minimum of 5 seconds. It felt like an eternity. Almost as if he could have had a fag and made a phone call.

Simply put, he'll never get a game as easy as that in centre midfield again in his life. Let alone at Manchester United.

He's still not good enough to start for us in CM in the Prem though.

Two headers from corners that was it apart from that he was lucky to get 5.5 its nothing to do with getting used to giving shit ratings , he in my opinion is the worst player I have seen play for United and I've seen a lot ha ha

Yeah, Schneiderlin definitely had to cover for Fellaini, which was by design. Still unbalances the team and left us open to that sucker punch.

The Fellaini Gambit works at times (i.e. target man/out ball), but he tends to be a liability when the ball is on the ground. Plus him playing rather high also crowds out the space that guys like Mata need to be more effective, while his passing range using his feet is really limited. When we are on defense, he is easily bypassed, but is great asset on corners when he is placed properly.

Not sure if I want him starting so many games. Granted, a lot of them were due to injuries & suspension, but I'd rather wish he was a better defensive midfielder.

You must have been supporting since the 2014 season in that case. There are tons of players who've been worse than Fellaini over the years....the Djemba twins, Kleberson, Smith.....the list goes on and on. Talk about exaggerating to try and make a point....

He is a pub player I don't get it ?

This comment pops up from time to time and is so lazy. He clearly isn't a pub player. He isn't the worst player in the PL and he isn't even the worst player at United......if you don't like how he plays or what he's all about, fair enough but say why you don't like him rather than this pub nonsense.
 
He's horrible to watch, is seen as the symbol of the start of our decline and in truth has no business playing for a team claiming to be one of Europe's elite, but he's been better than Schneiderlin the last couple of games.
 
I think he is neat and tidy with good technique and keeps things ticking along. Decent in both boxes too. He's short of pace tho so needs more pace and mobility around him really. He might not be pleasing on the eye but I don't mind that. A team needs lots of different components to be effective and as long as we don't have a team full of Fellainis, I'm happy with what he brings to the party.
 
He can't play as part of a midfield two, it's no surprise that regardless of who his partner is they struggle next to him.
 
He was perfectly fine today. Obviously the level of opposition wasn't great but he was far from our worst player.

I'd agree with that
Hes not a midfielder.
Hes a good way of bypassing midfield and handy around the box
but if your looking for decent possession in the opposition half he's just a bit hopeless.

He did his job well today all the same. It was never going to be pretty with that midfield.
 
My only consolation after seeing him start is that we're one game closer to his exit.
 
It's such a shame he simple doesn't fit into the team.

But it's not really his fault, you have to blame Moysee for creating this problem and to a lesser extend the Mata problem too.
