Another one.He should be in every starting lineup.
A midfielder who doesn't panic under pressure. I'd forgotten they existed till this kid came along.
Weird.

We're a much much better team with him playing.Another one.
Weird.
Cant be in the Nani thread blaming him, he's injured and in another countryWe're a much much better team with him playing.
Its funny how Fellaini just had the worst game of his season, and yet you're in the Herrera thread criticising. No agenda at all.
I disagree with you. I don't think he was crap by any stretch of the imagination. He received the ball decently under pressure, played positively, drove forward with the ball at his feet a few times, played some good touch stuff (including in the build up to the free kick that led to our winner). If that's crap what about the rest of the side who seemed to struggle to control and pass besides RVP?Let's not polish a turd. He was crap tonight. If we're gonna start praising our players for faking injury we're really scraping the barrel.
wrong thread?Forget the goals, that was his best performance since Fergie left I'd say.
Excellent.
Good touch, hold up play, worked hard, fed on scraps from a non existent midfield.
Much improved.

I agree, never liked this clamour for him to head the diamond. Like Di Maria, we need him in the deeper CM roles in the diamond having space to run into while having the freedom to press and harry all over the pitch with his excellent work rate.Personally i dont think he suits this advance position at the tip of the diamond but i guess LvG prefers to have a left footed player play on the left of the midfield
I would sooner we move Fellaini up behind the 2 strikers than HerreraI agree, never liked this clamour for him to head the diamond.

By saying we're a better team with him on the pitch? As we have been everytime he's played (bar one 45 minutes injured away to West Brom)Try reading the Fellaini thread
The main difference is there's less comments in that thread from fanbois who have no idea what just happened on the pitch. Fellaini was shit and is being called out as such. Only in this thread are we getting stupid posts like the one of yours I quoted.
Yes, Fellaini could hold up the play and allow Di Maria and Ander to advance while Rooney/Rvp/Falcao stretch the defence with runs in behind. All a bit idealistic but Fellaini could perform an excellent withdrawn target man role for us.I would sooner we move Fellaini up behind the 2 strikers than Herrera
Agree. It seemed easier to move the ball forward when Herrera received it in deeper positions, had more calm and range than Fellaini. Fellaini is at his best when he can menace defenders and make a nuisance of himself further forward. Herrera has played #6 in the past and has enough strings to his bow, and intelligence, to carry out Van Gaal's instructions there. Plus he still likes a tackle. I'd have definitely given Fellaini the freedom of the forward role, especially as our build up wasn't great tonight, and let Herrera hold.I would sooner we move Fellaini up behind the 2 strikers than Herrera
Have to agree with this. The system didn't do any of our players any favours on an individual level, Ander included. Everyone struggled in the 3-5-2 bar Young and RVP. I wouldn't hold it against him but he certainly wasn't great tonight.Let's not polish a turd. He was crap tonight.

I thought Young was crap too!Have to agree with this. The system didn't do any of our players any favours on an individual level, Ander included. Everyone struggled in the 3-5-2 bar Young and RVP. I wouldn't hold it against him but he certainly wasn't great tonight.
Fair assessment. Hence he should always play.Weird thing was he probably was the main reason for us looking a lot better after he came on, yet he didn't have a very good game. Still love his style.
We're a much much better team with him playing.

Dont know where you took this stat from but it look worse during the game.80% pass completion is woeful for a CM. Even our strikers passed the ball better than that. Both of them.
I agree with you.I'm obviously in the minority but I thought he did well while adding more energy to the midfield.
