Would be happy if he never wears the shirt again tbh.

He offers literally nothing. The only small in advantage he has in the air he negates by elbowing people's heads off and getting fouls. Even in the air half the time his headers are too weak too trouble the keeper anyway!.

He can't shoot, can't dribble, his passing is average at best. I really don't see what LVG likes about him. His record for us recently says it all too.

No team Starting fellaini in midfield will win a title or trophy, it's that simple.
 
It's a proper sad that he actually outperforms majority of players on our team and is just not up to the standard. At least he tries.
 
He was ok in the first half, not good like some are saying but ok, however we were pushing our fullbacks on and he never tucked in to help them when Liverpool broke, that is what a DM does, watch Kante for Leicester show how the role is played properly. I know he can't help not getting over there because he's so immobile, but that goes back to our stupid manager playing him as a CM in a 2 man midfield. In the second half he mostly just lumbered around and threw a couple of elbows.
 
I'm starting to feel bad for Fellaini, he's become a laughing stock; he just hasn't got enough in his locker to play at the level we aspire to. Perhaps one day LVG will realize that his "strengths" are heading the ball and fouling the opposition. Injuries aside, the fact he's played the 90 demonstrates how poor we've been in the transfer market.
 
You call this is a good game from him?He literally offered nothing substantial in the second half and bottled a good chance created by Rashford.Can the UEFA ban him for elbowing?
 
His game was like a sine curve. Had good moments and elbow moments, decent passes and poor positioning, a bit comfort on the ball and poor finishing

Pretty much. Even his first-half performance, which is being praised, saw him offer nothing of note. I saw people praising him, and tried to rack my brains for what he'd done well, but I was struggling. He wasn't controlling the game, or creating chances, or offering an attacking threat, so what was he actually doing well? Has it gotten to the stage where he gets a pat on the back for not being completely awful?
 
He did what he does to a passable standard. The issue is that he has no diacernible talent whatsoever, and therefore his presence at the heart of a Manchester United team is farcical.

This. Even the shit he does 'well' is no where near good enough for Manchester United. For fecks sakes, I hate this he had a good game shite.
 
I'm physically and psychologically tired of watching him play for us. A virtually pointless player, he isn't a playmaker, he isn't a striker, he isn't a CM ... I cannot honestly believe that many fans think he's played well.
 
Tells you how little we expect from him if this counts as a decent/good game. Pointless footballer.
 
He didnt have a good game. Absolutely not. Pwerfully rubbish, just hide in the reserves till you can find a new club.
 
He can't pass or shoot and isn't defensively minded either. Literally all he can do is throw elbows and head balls.
 
Hes not a player for any top 4 team, but cant be faulted he doesnt pick himself, and today he was one of our better players, won almost every header, held the ball well, even passed forward and tried to drive us forward a good bit today
 
Had a real 10 minute purple patch in the first half but then reverted to type in the second half. He just isn't the sort of footballer you associate with any team aspiring to be amongst footballs elite.
 
I wish some of the other players tried like he does. He's not good enough, but technically skilled players that go missing are worse.
 
He was one of our best in the first-half, then poorer in the second. Overall I'd say a decent/below average performance. Nothing spectacular (good or bad).
 
He's cack, that's not his fault, it's the utter bellend that keeps selecting him. I can't stand Fellaini, he should be nowhere near our club, but the blame lies elsewhere. Also, he's bound to look good at times as every single ball is lumped up to him.
 
He had an OK first half but was back to Fellaini in the second. We can't continue with this guy. Needs to be moved on, today!
 
Should have loaned him to Milan and took anything around £9m in the summer. £27m feck me.


One of the worst signings in PL history imo.
 
I hope he has his finances in control, cause this has been a very bad PR for him. Will take some time to build up his image again somewhere else.
 
he had a good first half I thought.

But if theres any player that sums up United post-fergie its him.
 
A typical Fellaini performance really. Did something which might have been a red card, won a few headers, chested a few balls, was safe with his passing, wasn't good enough with his defensive duties (Except at set plays where I think he was really good), wasted a good chance. I understood why he was played in the first leg, but I think he shouldn't have played this one.

And by being relatively poor in the air. It makes little sense that when you have this physical advantage, you don't have the skills to use it. Andy Carroll is one example among others of tall players who use their aerial ability much better than Fellaini.
 
Had a really good game. Still have no idea what his actual position is supposed to be, mind. For Van Gaal who is a rigid stickler for positional discipline I have no idea why Fellaini doesn't trigger him severely. Similarly with Blind. Also have to commend his passion for the fight, have to say that I think the entire squad has switched off and look to be going through the motions. What stuck out is that Fellaini didn't seem to care, still got stuck in the entire game. May not have had everything go his way but with absolutely nothing left to play for in your entire MUFC career bar the pride of the shirt, my hat is tipped to him.

Hope he has a decent game on Sunday at the Etihad.

What? He's comfortably a mid table footballer and will mint money easy.
 
I don't understand how someone of his size needs to constantly use his elbows and resort to pushing to win aerial duels.

Every time i watch us play, i don't understand how he plays 90 minutes, then it hits me that he wasn't even close to our worst player and thats saying a lot.
 
Literally only in the team to stop us conceding from every set piece or corner we come up against like we were when he was out of team a while back.

Lvg is so reactive...instead of teaching a potentially better team to defend....or buying a player who has more to his game than just defending corners...we have to basically play with a player less.

Wouldn't hold your breath on that happening on Sunday it's been about a year since he had a good game.

He tried last night but he was poor and ineffective as usual and it was incredible he wasn't sent off, no idea how he has only got a yellow card for a deliberate elbow.

At the very least his last good game was against Bournemouth. Last night he wasn't as good as that day but good enough to warrant commendation.

He was ok at Bournemouth but that was about it and he definitely doesn't deserve any commendation last night for his performance, effort is only thing he deserves some credit for. Your bias is clear as you conveniently ignore his most memorable moment in the game which was a deliberate elbow.
