Immense today to be fair. I've been coming around to the idea of him staying at the club lately. As clumsy as he is, he's one of the few players with a bit of balls.
I don't understand how someone can't like him. You think he's not good enough for the team I could see why but in terms of just liking a player he gives everything he has and recently has been effective
He was very good. Changed the game, he was the extra body in the attack and also in the midfield. Can easily see why Jose rates him and plays him so many games.
Fellaini changes matches. I find his aerial ability to be a bigger advantage in Europe than in the PL. Teams have no idea how to cope with what he brings to the table. He's also got quite the work rate for a big lad and he keeps possession tidy enough even if it's very simple and he's never going to play a world class ball.
We needed someone who could win the aerial balls and give us a direct outlet, and he was brilliant at that. Also very good at defending the corners and high balls into our box. The only one of our subs who really improved us, I think. Maybe also a bit unlucky with the foul call when Pogba would have scored.
Thought the foul on the defender was a bullshit call.
The moment we started skipping the midfield part pretty much changed the game, our midfield was nonexistent today, shows importance of Herrera as of recent.
Created the goal with a great knock down and he must have set up four or five other gilt edged chances. No doubt about it he had a massive impact tonight.
I think having another body in midfield was needed, and he gave us that. After Ibra was injured he played his role for the knockdowns. Good work by Fellaini.
Having a very good spell. He's resilient that's for sure. We've had plenty of players that have failed to deliver in the last few seasons with far greater support and acclaim than Fellaini's had.
Perhaps time for people to start looking at his good performances as the standard and not exceptions? It's getting a bit silly reading the same every week - "credit where credit is due... he's shit but today he did good... etc.". You've got to connect the dots, at some point.
I had never in a million years thought that I would be relieved by the sight of the big man being subbed on, but I'm starting to apriciate what he brings to the team, insted of only focusing on hos limitations.
This was more than decent.
Where other players are showing a kind of tiredness, he looks good, strong, alert,...he might be of a great importance in the coming weeks.
the moments that he wins games in make up for the odd loose pass imo. Would have been frustrated if he didn't get his goal or his assist because he had the beating of them whenever pogs launched the ball or a cross came in.
