This Fellaini shit needs to stop. It seems that one good makes seems to buying a starting spot for the next three months.

Yes, he's agressive and gets stuck in... but he's not a fecking footballer.

He's a footballer. A mid tier of the PL footballer.
 
Not the guy we need when chasing for two goals. Lofting the ball has clearly not worked for us recently
 
Wank. Can barely pass the ball.

He epitomises everything you can say is wrong with us at the moment. Can't pass, can't defend, can't score, technically terrible, zero accuracy, slows everything down
 
The fickleness when it comes to Fellaini is astonishing. I've maintained all along he's not good enough and not what our team needs, but after we win a game (or bravely draw 0-0) we'll be told he's one of our best players. Then when we lose a game he's shit again.
 
Are we allowed to say he's been shite? Because he's been really shite. No idea why he's playing so far forward when we have a player like Mata on the bench.

In fairness, it's probably different people saying different things about him.
 
Every now and again he'll win the ball a few times in a match where we get a decent result and it shelters people from the realisation of just how average he is.

He's a bigger, taller version of Lee Cattermole. Tenacity but no guile whatsoever.
 
Don't really hate him anymore. He works hard and does his best but is incredibly limited. It's the manager's fault for picking him.
 
I deserve a caf ban for getting slightly optimistic about this joker early in the season when he had a few good games. It's become comical. Just watch him off the ball, seems to avoid play.

Bang on. Such a one dimensional player.
 
Like I said about Blind.

If we're in a position where he never plays a single game for us again, we'll have made a huge stride forward as a club.
 
He's been decent this season, but he was woeful out there.

If he's a consistent starter in a team striving for big things, you've already failed.
 
The stupid singling out of Fellaini continues. It's not that I thought he was good but surely there are players playing worse than him on the pitch right now. If anything, I can't spot much of a difference between him and the world record signing.

Maybe you should open your eyes and then you'd see that the world record signing is also receiving criticism.

He isn't being singled out unless you ignore the criticism of Smalling, Blind, Zlatan and more.

Ah yes, the Wayne Rooney defence.

and? Was I wrong? Everyone blamed Rooney for our downfall. He's gone. Have things improved?

People said Rooney was part of the problem, not the whole problem. Just like now people are critical of every player, but you only choose to come running to the defence of Fellaini.

He's part of the problem ie another example of a player who still with us despite not being good enough

Maybe a few of you said that but I always had a problem with those that blamed everything on Rooney and there were plenty with that opinion. It's the same reason I defend Fellaini. His critics believe he is holding us back as a club and what not. Also you will never hear such harsh criticism towards Caf darlings.

So yeah say Fellaini is part of the problem but if you're gonna believe we lost that first half because of him then you're just being naive.

Improved. Not "turned it around" as was suggested.

I never thought dropping Rooney (or Fellaini) would turn it all around. Just that it would help.

There's no one silver bullet solution. Just a lot of different areas we can improve.

If he is not good enough how is Lingard, young, Rojo? He's clearly better than them all.

None of them are good enough for the level we want to be at. No point trying to sugar coat anything here, we have too many poor players. Simple as.
