The Fellaini Effect

I did say last season that Fellaini kept LVG in a job.

Nice to see that my predictions are as good as ever

Nope. He's not good enough for United either, if he is to remain past this summer I do hope he's a benchwarmer at best

He has his uses and he played an important role in both those few games of form. We missed his tenacious game today but we still need better to progress.

I agree that we need better to progress. But maybe we need him just to avoid getting worse?

Thought we had done a lot to sort out the midfield, but we still need a couple of players in there. A tenacious one would be useful

I think we were all relatively pleased with the summer spending but you could also see that while these players were improvements not enough were top level quality. I know we have a history of buying them young or less developed and developing them ourselves but we simply need better quality. Di Maria was one and that f-cked up and the only other real quality seems to be Martial who none of us really expected.

It's all well and good saying we want and need better but what chance have we got of getting them. But that shouldn't distract from the fact that the manager isn't getting enough from the players he does have.

No fight today, fellaini's presence was missed despite what people think of him

Fellaini always look to bring the ball down and play a pass. Everyone else just wants to boot it.

This control allows people to get forward or regain shape. Look at how we are always clearing to have another wave cone back at us.

Bit odd that he wasn't involved today. He's played too many games recently? Really? Too tired to be on the bench? Maybe someone from China has made an offer?

No, just philosophy
