You too.
Bollocks, you only think that because its what you were looking for. If you truely believe that then to me you clearly werent watching very closely. Again, I repeat, try making some notes next time, count the passes and then see whats really going on. I did and it was quite different to what you and others were claiming what was happening.
Either you haven't seen actual hoof ball tactics or you don't know how Fellaini plays.
Not bollocks. I don't "look for" anything, I watch the games for entertainment and am fully cognizant of the what I am watching.
This is more or less what I spent most of last season saying. At this point I have pretty much given up, people will believe what they want to believe. I agree with your assessment though, that it feels like people just see "Fellaini" on the team sheet and assume that we just played 90 yard passes all game without actually watching.
It isn't bollocks. There is no need to be this rabid. There has been a times (not every game) where we have used punting it up to Fellaini as a legitimate tactic in the last 15 minutes of games. That can't really be denied, we all saw it last season. I understand it wasn't to the extent that the post described, but to mention it as though it has never happened I think is incorrect.
My crystal ball.
I don't let it bother me, that's how he rolls. There is a full gang of these irascible characters, the whole purpose of their posts is to stifle opinions with idiotic tripe like that.
Why Fellaini?..
Agree. I predict we are going to see more of him this season because he's different amongst so many players that are similar. Also it's clear we are short up front and he's going to be an option
Jesus H Christ, someone disagrees with you and its a gang doing it to stifle opinion???
Based on what?
How? Fellaini's not going to be competing with those two. Actually, I honestly think had he been available today, he would have come on for Depay instead of Herrera. He would have been a great outlet for us, especially with Spurs putting pressure late on in the game.
I think a few fans are going to be surprised/disappointed when Fellaini starts getting gametime again, once his suspension is over.
But we would have lost the game in that case
.Perfectly reasonable comment given how we set up. If we're going to have our centre midfielders sit so far back from our #10 they will need a target to aim at. Unless we are going to go 4-3-3 and play with our midfielders closer together, Fellaini is a better option in Van Gaal's current system than Herrera, Mata or Memphis.
Suspended
The same Fellaini who had the balls to put in a transfer request at Everton because that how badly he wanted to come here. The same guy who was written off after an unconvincing first season where he also bore the brunt of frustration people had for his soon to be departed manager. Yeah, he sounds like a guy to write off.
Don't see any reason as to why he couldn't play the #10 role?
Not saying he couldn't, but assuming Pedro joins we will have Mata, Herrera, and likely Depay all probably worthy of starting there before him.
He's a unique kind of player. I am sure LvG, being as much of a manager who focuses on opponents weakness and strengths as well as a tactician, would see some uses for him. He can contribute a lot, for example, in games like away to Spurs where they are going to press really hard and we need an outlet for quicker forward transition.
I think he would be ahead of Mata and Herrera in that position. Pedro will play wide so they won't be competing. Depay will be the interesting one.
But he's considered a winger, which was even proven yesterday when Januzaj could've as well played on the wing, so it's irrelevant what he could be as our manager doesn't see him as a #10, shame or not. It's not like Mata's failing to deliver from the wing.
