A midfield with Fellaini is not going to move the ball well. Simple as.

He's actually been a lot worse than normal. 20 passes from a CM in a half of football is absurd.
Usually this season he's got on the ball a decent amount, passed the ball around with nothing fancy but kept things ticking. He hasnt even done that so far today.

Worst thing is, he won't be going anywhere anytime soon either unfortunately.
Sell him and take the 20m pounds and be done with it. Seriously, it is one thing to have him as a Plan C or whatever, but to start him in midfield is pure madness. We are 6th for a reason.
That's really worrying stat, altough not surprising at all. We rarely ever play good game when he is in the team, even when he is playing his role well. He is simply not good midfielder and that's it.
Today, we're playing just how we usually play. Difference is, we haven't been able to score, which has been our problem with or without Fellaini.
We're moving the ball, getting into good areas, creating chances, etc. If we were winning, people wouldn't be saying anything.

Having him in the team felt like playing with 10 man...worse even cause his incompetence stiffles others around him, especially Pogba.
So it's Feli's fault Pogba has been poor again.
Okay.
Okay.
I dont get this thread. I dont disagree with those who think hes not a great option
But stoke havent had a shot on target and we should be 2-0 up.

He has done more than Pogba. Don't disagree with that.
Has Pogba been poor? Thought he was our best player in those last 20.
That's the thing, we have mainly lost games that he's started this season.
I thought he's doing well if you compare the other players but too early to play for plan B Jose. We should be looking for to control the midfield first before playing plan B. There is a reason why we called it "B"
Is he the reason we're losing today then?
He's part of the reason we're not winning.
He was also part of the reason we didnt lose last week.
How does Pogba have anything to do with Fellaini not showing for the ball and making passes?
Thats why he should only be used in the last 10 minutes a lump in the box.
Thank feck.
Finally.
We can get down to business.

I thought after his horror show at Everton that would be the end of him. I hope after today that is the last time he starts. Awful
Big guy covered tons of ground, good shift. Seems to be playing the same role he plays for Belgium minus the long balls.
Edit: And now that Mata has quickly followed him to the bench, I'm not sure the big guy should have been subbed.

Considerig he was nothing better than anyone else, yes, just like many other players.
Played better than most players in our team but he is the scapegoat. It's obvious from the responses here.
José scapegoat him too?
No, of course. But look at the comments here. Mata sucks? Fellaini is the problem. Zlatan indecisive? Fellaini is the problem. That's what I'm talking about.
This.
Don't fret too much, good United sides have ready made scapegoats. Now we just wait for the "good" part.
He should be the last person getting ANY slack today.
Shouldn't be near the starting lineup, but everyone knows that. Today reinforced that.
In a way, yes it is. Him playing moves Pogba into a position that isn't his best and because of that we suffer in the midfield. We often end up overrun aswell.
Because it was barely noticeable he was on the pitch?
because we are barely different without him on the pitch either
We looked better for a spell, then took Miki off who had been the only one causing any problems. Rashford made a difference too. We certainly didnt look any worse minus 1 CM when Fellaini went off
If he starts games we get less points, it's as simple as that.
Knew as soon as he was in the starting lineup it would be a difficult game. It's not just that he's limited himself, it's that he makes it more difficult for those around him.
We were a different beast with Rashfords pace instead of Fellaini's nothing.
Hit me up with your dealer, I gotta smoke me some of what you're having!
nope. he doesnt deal with guys like you. Sorry
yeah thats true
Whether people like it or not it is true, he has also been subbed off in last two league games he started and we have ended up getting better results.
It's not about him being disliked or being a scape goat it's just that he is so limited he has a negative impact on the team.
