I must confess it is like we've the best backup players in the league; they can come in and bring a different dimension to the game. The challenge will be keeping them happy though. I still don't support Fellaini to shield that our back four. Dude has tried, against wee teams, but is rash and just bullies players with no football sense/proper reading of the game/positioning. Lacks good forward passes and easily drawn away from his position. Hoping he doesn't get exposed in big games and cost us points. |

![]() joeace2020: I actually think the following reasons are the reasons for his strange posts and over all manic forum game: 1: He might be a high school kid or just some really young dude! Hence why he can never differentiate between friendly or hostile fire! 2: Gets a lot of his views on formations, tactics, player profiles etc from segas football manager (FM) and not from actual experience or knowledge gained by playing the game with friends or watching decades of soccer! 3: Probably uses player ratings from FIFA or Pro evolution games to determine the qualities of the player or what a player is capable of doing with the ball! 4: Visits a lot of soccer blogs and imports random balderdash from such sites in a bid to appear as some well versed guru in the game! Hence why dude is never able to give a straight answer when cornered but prefers to go on a tangent about some other topic that has no direct correlation with the present discourse! 5: Is not a "united fan" and has probably never set foot in an actual football stadium before (local or international) but has seen them a lot through his parents car windows as they drive past! 6: Probably single, a virgin or prefers sucking on male testes(explains the unwarranted attack on the female last week), hence the sexual frustration leads to the involuntary need for constant confrontation as opposed to actually busting a nut in order to feel orgasmic! **expecting him to come and wail and gnash his teeth over this psyche evaluation in 1..2...3..** 3 Likes |

chrisley024:I think I disagree. We are definitely going to drop points #fact. Fellaini has done well but winning is a collective effort. Knowing Mourinho, his midfielders wouldn't be far from defence against tougher teams. Players will cost us points this season, whether Pogba DDG, Bailly or whatever we going to drop points. Anticipate it |

eph12:That position is a very important one. I prefer him being rash and bullying, which he may escape in EPL not Europe, while playing up the field not directly in front of our back 4. We deserve better than Fellaini as our no. 4. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by codedguy1(m): 11:51am On Aug 28, 2016 |
chrisley024: Concerning fellaini, I agree with you, I am still not comfortable with him in that DM position. But I must confess the guy has done a turn around. He was one of those videos felt would be kicked out but Mourinho used him and he actually impressed me with his performance thus far. Like you pointed out in your last post he might not be able to get away with his thuggish play in Europe but the likes of Carrick and schneiderlin shudder be able to handle that. We seem to be spoilt for options in various positions it's left for the players to actually take their chances when given the opportunity which will give Mourinho a big headache. chrisley024: His being rash and bully are usually done unnecessarily and as a 4 will cost us cheaply. But I still commend him for a good job done so far. 1 Like |

chrisley024:I disagree too I still think because fellani is tall and very physical is technical ability dey underrated and not without reason,he was not at his best under the last two manager, while players like Herrera who are small,people overrate their passing skills. as long as you keep an open mind Fellani go win you over small small. na still two games but I think he can maintain this level of performance |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by dopeJemi: 11:55am On Aug 28, 2016 |
I totally agree with Chrisley, Fellaini lacks football sense, all he does is pass to the player closest to him, bully players off the ball, use his height to his advantage, sometimes there to intercept This is Fellaini, and like Chrisley said, we deserve more than fellaini as our no4 |

Yesterday's game cemented what I've been thinking. Rashford is more intelligent than Martial! Martial is all about drifting in from the left with his predictable but unstoppable dribbling, but Rashford is comfortable and devastating from everywhere on the pitch. His involvement with the build up play will make you doubt he's 18. This guy's football intelligence is at the highest level! ![]() Gbr1 once proclaimed he'll fail, but I think it's clear, this guy no be fluke, and it wouldn't shock me if he outshines Martial at last. His story might just be like Messi's. Cementing a starting spot at a too young age. Diademk07, what else do you want now that Rashford has played several minutes? ![]() |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by chrisley024(m): 12:05pm On Aug 28, 2016 |
dopeJemi:Exactly! Well, the only thing I can say is that Jose knows better than me while hoping Fellaini keeps doing well. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by eph12(m): 12:06pm On Aug 28, 2016 |
chrisley024:Right now it seems he is the best we have got for that position. |

Elxandre: Don't allow martial's poor form now erase his brilliance of last season from your head Did you watch martial against Southampton, Everton, liverpool, swansea, man city away, chelsea's ivanovic? |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Elxandre(m): 12:13pm On Aug 28, 2016 |
dopeJemi:Yes, Martial was brilliant, but I'm saying Rashford's all round play just seems far more intelligent. He almost never has a bad day from any position. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by eph12(m): 12:13pm On Aug 28, 2016 |
dopeJemi:You just said he bully players off the ball, uses his height to his advantage, intercepts ball so what else does he have to do? Dribble one or two players? He hardly loses the ball or put defence in bad positions so what else do you want? 3 Likes |

chrisley024: At first I thought Schneiderlin was Jose's typical kind of DM, fellaini has done well no doubt but I believe if Schneiderlin picks the kinda form fellaini is in now, he'll do better |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by chrisley024(m): 12:18pm On Aug 28, 2016 |
@Elxandre, Rashford has got better movement on the pitch while Martial likes to always have the ball to his feet. Another thing is how do you see a Rashford without/less pace/speed? Still too early to give judgement I must say. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by dopeJemi: 12:19pm On Aug 28, 2016 |
eph12: Bully players off the ball which amounts to a foul more often than not, "SOMETIMES" there to intercept, useless when going forward, you cannot use fellaini to start your attack from the back Being a 4 requires intelligence not just force |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elrony(m): 12:22pm On Aug 28, 2016 |
From our last two games so far,it's just those unnecessary rash fouls in dangerous areas I don't like about Fellaini... It can cost us points against more quality teams. Buh he's been great so far (as a limited player). |

Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by eph12(m): 12:27pm On Aug 28, 2016 |
dopeJemi:Fellaini does not give away the ball easily. Once he wins it he passes it to his team mate. Is that not good enough? He has Pogba (most expensive player in the world), Rooney, Mata, Martial, Miki and the full backs to give the ball to which he does yet we must complain. What does Busquets do in barca midfield other than to win the ball and release to the nearest man? Yet he is appreciated. Fellaini hardly gives away free kicks. In fact you guys should just keep a open mind. Am not saying he is the best but so far he has been one of our best players on the pitch. The least we can do is to appreciate him. 1 Like |

dopeJemi: You didn't see Fellaini pining Western Union passes to Martial and Shaw yesterday? Or how he quashed most of the counter attacks too? I agree he still has to improve on his positioning but he's getting better in several other areas in no small manner. Let's see him against the likes of City and Chelsea before we castigate him. 2 Likes |

I personally do not like Fellaini's style of play but if he's key to Mourihno's plans and those plans continue to give us positive results, Afro-man should keep his place jare. There's no point fixing what's not broken. |

eph12: You obviously haven't seen Sergio play, if you have the time, look for clips of Sergio or carrick Have you seen what fernandinho does for man city? or thiago motta for PSG, To me blind is a better DM than fellaini, the only disadvantage is his height and small body This is more than just hating on a player as most of you would like to make it seem Fellaini has done well but should never be considered for a long term Being a DM no be only by jaguda bros |
