I hope we make a frivolous appeal and he gets an extra game ban.

I hope the next manager would expect that all his players would know how to play football
We should loan him out to a mid table team. He'd likely take points off our rivals, with the bonus of us not having to face his elbows.
Why would you start him on the bench?
I'd want him on to mark Wickham at set pieces.
If you can't see him pulling his hair, why are you bothering to post on this thread?
Both deserve a 3 match ban for violent conduct. But as usual all eyes are on Fellaini.
The clue is in my post. I have only seen a clip where he pulls his hair at pretty much the exact time as the elbow. I was asking if there is something else I am missing which shows it was a clear retaliation. It's hardly as if Fellaini usually needs any kind of provocation to do something silly. If that is the hair pulling people are talking about, I am impressed with his lighting quick reactions, although annoyed that he has saved his first signs of speed for this moment.
Don't be silly, we have the aerial force that is Marcos Rojo to put on our oppositions big aerial threat...
To be honest and i can't believe i'm saying this but i would probably start him also (because palace are a big side).
But having said that after getting himself a stupid ban and missing the 3 games leading up to the final should he start the final?
Why does he deserve to start the biggest game of the season?
Generally. Let alone after this disgraceful behaviour?
Because he played a massive part in us getting to the final?
We have to field 11 players and 2/3 midfielders. Hard to come up with enough that fill that criteria.
He probably did more than any of our other midfielders to get us to that game.
I just think it's dodgy ground to let someone who has disgraced himself, stroll back in like he's Cantona or someone.
Most fans still think he's sh!t, and he could well be on his way in the summer.
I personally couldnt care less what most fans think. A lot of them are in denial, finding it hard to praise Fellaini when he has a good game because apparently he's not a United player - whatever one of those are.
Fact is, as I said before, Fellaini has been vital to us getting to the final. If he's available, then he should play, in my opinion.
I get that perspective but I think winning a trophy is more important. I mean, he elbowed someone who pulled his hair, it wasn't like an unprovoked attack or anything. So while it was bad I would bring him in because I want to win. Palace will be a threat on set-pieces so he will help there and despite what many think he hasn't been any worse (better, if anything) than Herrera/Schneiderlin. He also seems to play quite well in 'big' games too.
Good on him.My old man is a United supporter. Been there from the Babes, all the way through to the present day. He despises Fellaini.
But yeah, glory hunting cnut of 2016 is what he isAs is anyone else who doesn't like him
Have we sold him yet?
Yes.

Carragher. One of the most biased opinions I've read. Funny how he never said he would be happy to see Suarez never play in the Premier League again. To say that about Fellaini is a disgrace. I'd be happy to see him sold but to say Huth has been harshly treated is quite amusing. It would never have happened if he hadn't have grabbed a handful of Fellaini's hair.

It would never have happened if he hadn't have grabbed a handful of Fellaini's hair.I actually agree with Carragher for the most part.
Fellaini's elbowing is disgraceful and he's going to do some serious damage to someone eventually, it's cowardly. He's also correct about Fellaini not being Utd standard, I know it's Carragher so most will automatically disagree with him but he's got it pretty spot on.
Apart from the Huth thing, just because he's part of the "fairytale" doesn't mean he should avoid punishment. Pulling hair is a cnuty thing to do anyway.

Jesus thank feck he's not playing so we can witness all of this fluent neat football.
Rather have him than Herrera any day. At least you know you'll get maximum effort at a minimum from him.
Herrera can't run a game to save his life, so you're better of with Fellaini making tackles and winning the ball back to get us in a game.

Best game so far. This position suits him greatly
Man we look poor without him in the side. WTF?
He'll score the winner against palace!

Yep, we've definitely missed him more than Martial and Rashford.
I would be interested to see the stats for how many goals we concede from headers and set pieces with/without Fellaini in the team.
That's why I imagine he started in midfield last time against West Ham. Still you expect your defenders to be able to defend and not rely on an oaf to be in midfield.
Bad sign if we're that dependent on one rather average footballer to stop stupid goals like the ones we've conceded today. Then again, this has been a season of bad signs, so...
Perhaps, but amidst the current caf trend of "Fellaini is actually shit in the air" it is easy to forget that DEFENSIVELY he clears a hell of a lot of corners and FKs.
In an ideal world of course we would have two strong CBs for this, but with Blind as first choice this season I think that has definitely been a factor when considering Fellaini in midfield.
Oh he's definitely not shit in the air defensively. I think his strength is a huge asset there. I've always had doubts about Blind but he's done well in some games, but he's been massively exposed tonight. Hopefully he won't be at the back next season.
We just gift goals from set pieces. Until this is sorted he has to stay. We've been done so many times this season from headers it's unreal. We have no one to cross a ball to, or bother taking a corner kick for except him.
We're not Barcelona. We can't get away with it.
We're not Barcelona. We can't get away with it.
And to think I got slated by quite a few for defending Fellaini. He's more effective than many of those guys who played tonight.
Maybe if he wasn't dumb and ready to use his elbows all the time he might have had his use tonight!
This week's fan favorite, it seems. Enjoy it while it lasts Felli.
You'd fecking complain about him like you always do in here anyway.
LOL back to oh feck fellaini could have done better.
You could have barca team and they would still need some players who are beast in the air to defend against team like Westham in epl.
But, yeah the dude is an idiot for missing the games out when we need everyone the most. Same shit with last season's ending.

West Ham wouldn't cause Barcelona any threat whatsoever. They wouldn't get corners and free kicks in daft positions we gave them.
Fellaini would of been sent off in a game like tonight's.
I said it in the matchday thread today, we missed him big time for tonight's match. There aren't many teams that Fellaini is good to use against but West Ham are certainly one of the teams that he's very useful against. His presence and ability to defend setpieces alone would have been a huge asset tonight. Not to mention he would have replaced Herrera in the lineup who had a complete nightmare performance.
