As a defensive player myself watching Fellaini can be very frustrating. It's wonderful watching a game and seeing players at a level beyond anything you could ever hope to achieve yourself, as an attack is building you suddenly see a good defensive mid appear and quash any threat effortlessly. There's times when you spot dangerous space, but before you can even register it fully, in steps the player and the option is shut down.

Fellaini doesn't do that. He finds himself on top of other's toes so often. He gets split by attacks regularly, leaving space for players either side of him and causing the rest of the team to up their workrates.

Physically he has the build of a good defensive unit, but mentally he just doesn't play a good game.

On top of that, he is useless in linking play between defense and attack. He slows down our passing moves and has very little creativity or even desire to go forward and make something happen with his own work. It's good that he knows his limits with the ball and doesn't jeopardise possession needlessly, but the most important issue is that we should be demanding more of someone filling up a slot on our starting eleven.

Don't blame him too much for the goal. He was frustrating and cumbersome before and after that. For the goal he actually was surprisingly in a good position at the right time, just had a blip in concentration and massively under hit the pass.
