Fellaini appreciation thread (self.reddevils)

amol0202Aaand Solksjaer's Won It! が 投稿

I definitely feel he played a huge part yesterday, not only providing a great aerial presence for set pieces (which Crystal Palace are excellent at - more than 50% of their goals), never felt afraid with him in the box, but also holding up the ball well and being a continuous attacking threat.

He had also been playing well before his suspension, and I can only wonder how his presence might've affected the result vs West Ham.

Might be his last match as well, so thank you Fellaini.

I'm so glad we didn't sell him to Napoli.

Leg injury came at the right time

Come on mate people are acting like a mass exodus is going to happen, anyone with a brain that has a properly functioning memory knows he's a good player. He's never come out and said he's unhappy with his role at United, so why would he go. He's an ideal backup/rotation option and until he's vocally not happy with that then i can't see him going.

But yeah i agree, i really like Fella as a player and he was one of the best players on the pitch yesterday.

Jose doesn't like big Belgians.

I think Jose would definitely like Fellaini, he likes big strong combative midfielders. He'll like Schneiderlin as well and I can see him playing Herrera at number 10.

I don't think people really care about the practicalities of squad building. People here just want to sign good players and get rid of players they don't like, and that's just it.

At the moment I just don't see the benefit of shipping off Fellaini. He's 28, so he's still got several years left in the tank, he's a decent Premier League calibre player, and if we sold him we wouldn't get paid significantly.

That aside, our midfield is also in a situation where Carrick's legs are about to go (and he might not get a contract renewal), while Schweinsteiger's legs have pretty much already gone and he's permanently stuck in a physio room.

Why would you get rid of a player who seems happy to serve as depth? He's young, he's physically imposing, and he has a decent eye for goal. Why not keep that?

He went to Rome the other week with his agent to discuss a move. He could easily be gone this summer.

Been brilliant. Loads of fans whenever he was named in the line up used to give out about it but I always pointed out that we wouldn't have got top 4 last year without him and we wouldn't have won the FA cup without him.

He should be the first and only holder of the Ballon Chest

Best chest in the world! Will be interesting to see how José would use him.

Was he awarded an assist for his chest on Mata's goal?

[–]tiger1296Masturbinho 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

The guy is a huge asset to United, with his great height and physicality, he can break up play, important hold up man up top, great defensive responsibility in set pieces.

Very important to us, we definitely miss him when he doesn't play.

Ever since LVG figured out how to use him properly, the game at West Ham would have at least been a draw. Too bad Fellaini doesn't just let people pull his hair out without reacting. Thanks, FA Nazis.

He's great with his chest, he's great at holding up the ball, and he's great at set-piece defence. But he's just so terrible with his head, which is really annoying because he gets it to balls so easily. The amount of times I've seen him rubbing his afro in anguish after nodding a headed chance wide this season is ridiculous.

His role in Mata's goal was obviously (and rightfully) overshadowed by Rooney's amazing run, but it shouldn't be underplayed how important his chest to Mata was - it set Mata up perfectly. Not sure anyone else in the team has the chest control to have done as well Fellaini did there.

Important player for United for sure.
