Not sure why we're in such a hurry to get rid of Fellaini. He may still be useful. In fact, even on Sunday, he probably should have been an option to defend from set pieces given Tottenham's ability from crosses/corners. Moreover, he could have been an out option when we were trapped in our half for thirty fecking minutes.
Even though you'll be criticized for making this post, you raise a very valid point. Fellaini is still a very useful player in certain scenarios, including the one on Sunday. When they brought on Llorente, Fellaini should've been in. He brushed aside Jones with ease to win a header and created a great chance for Kane in 90th minute. It wasn't near the corner so it was saved but it could've been very well 1-1.
No one wants him starting in big matches, but it's fine to have an aerial presence of him in the reserve especially when we as a team suck at it. Sell him in the summer, when we sign defenders who can actually win headers and not be bullied by any decent striker but not now. People don't talk about it, but teams in Europe always struggle against Fellaini so he could also be an asset in CL this year.
