[Opinion] Fellaini's upcoming role (self.reddevils)

luketomlins が 投稿

Was anyone else super impressed by Fellaini today? Is it work in the off season? Work under mourinho? The position and deployment of him?

Personally, I thought the preseason he had playing in the destroyer role was the best I've seen him play for either Everton or United. This could see him start next to pogba in more physical games this season if not for the majority of games.

Another thought is that after today Herrera may have made himself undroppable for the foreseeable future. If that's the case who misses out?

Love to hear some opinions on this!

Anybody who thinks Fellaini is innately a bad player doesn't know about football. He may not deserve to start at the level United aspire to (Barca, Bayern, Madrid) but he would be a valuable member for any of those squads as he is one of the most unique players in world football. Plus the fact that he is a massive confidence player is what can make him look so lost with Moyes and great so far for Mourinho, if the manager shows faith in him and believes in him he's unbeatable in the midfield. I'd like to see Fellaini and Pogba in front of Carrick in certain match ups where their physicality can protect Carrick and let him do his thing.

Also the fact that if the club let him go he would go to Palace or West Ham or something and steal points every season.

I think that midfield trio would be terrific to protect a lead later in the game. Carrick to control the game, Pogba to break out on the counter, and the big fella to defend the long balls.

Agreed. Even on an average day he can do some damage physically and dull an opposition attack through brute force.

Interesting change of formation to what we saw today... I'm assuming with a 4-3-3 (1 holding mid and 2 attacking)? I have to add though, with the form Herrera has shown I feel like He has the edge over Carrick based more on energy moving forward rather than carricks more deliberate slower play!

Guy is an absolute asset defending set pieces and crosses.

It's still two games, need more matches to see how good he can be. Looking good so far.

I disagree about Herrera, he did well tonight but I can see Pogba displacing him and Mourinho to go with the Fellaini and Pogba combination. I feel Pogba will bring the ball forward more than Herrera did.

Fair enough. It would be madness not to give pogba the start when we paid so much for him, Mou has done it before and it wouldn't surprise me if he is on the bench for the first half against Southampton. If only so he can have a bit more time to adjust to the squad.

I'd be more comfortable with Herrera/Pogba but Fellaini did a fine job.

We need to see against stronger opposition though. His positioning is suspect but he surprised me. The thing is, there wa5d not much being created from midfield and that was pretty sad.

He's such a valuable player to the squad and definitely suits a lot of games e.g stoke, chelsea plus he's a bastard.... Who doesn't love a bastard

If he continues playing like he did today, I can easily see Mou using him as a destroyer with Pogba playing along side him in the box-to-box role. Really happy to see the big tree playing well.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's Fellaini and Pogba in the midfield.
