The reason LVG likes Fellaini (self.reddevils)

Capslock_HolmesManchester United が 投稿

And no, it's not going to be a stupid gif or joke.

Fellaini has weaknesses in his game -- his passing is inconsistent, his vision isn't exactly world class, his finishing is often saddening -- but one place where he is good (yes, genuinely) is in bringing down a ball out of defence, controlling it, and laying it off or moving it on to someone in order to transition from defence to attack. This is a huge part of LVG's tactical plan, and it really surprises me that, unless I'm missing something, nobody mentions it when the daily discussions pop-up about how shit Fellaini is. And I don't mean lump it up to him in the box and hope he can knock it down (although that -- disappointingly -- does seem to be the plan b). This is more to do with trying to make a quick transition in order to exploit the fact that the opposing team are out of position. It's just a shame that we seem unable to pull it off, or that how LVG has set the team up isn't working, or...whatever it is that is causing us to be quite bad at playing football.

Before I get loads of stick: I'm not really a fan of him either -- but so many people say they have no idea what LVG sees in him that I thought I ought to mention it.

Anyway, roll on the derby. As you were.

One positive dose not outweigh all the negatives.

And it's not his fault though is it that the manager wants him to do something but plays him in the team all the time?

I'm not saying it does or doesn't - just trying to answer a question that I see asked in here multiple times a week.

Fellaini is not used properly. He was a nightmare for others when he was in Everton. He is not a technically gifted player and he should not be our first choice midfielder week in and out. He can be a good sub in the 70th minute when we need someone in the box to head balls in and that's it. He is a squad player and nothing more than that.

I think he helps us win a lot of high balls. Plus he chests down long balls better than most United players on his day. We need a brute of a Central Defender to partner with ol' Mike. Daley Blind is too much of a liability at central defence, despite the brilliant job he has done all season. If we get a proper centre back, Fellaini can be used for his nuisance value in the opposition box as we did in the UCL qualifier away at Club Brugge to take the aggregate to 3-1 on the first leg.
