Maybe he wont be in first XI next season but he will have his role for us in certain situations. Even tho maybe he can improve his general play so you never know.

We all know that simply isnt true.
Presumably you also gave Rooney, Valencia, Evans, Blind, Herrera, Mata and Falcao 0s as well?
Nope.
Why?
Very poor today. Why he doesn't jump for headers is something i'l never understand. Really grates me.
Got the all important goal though. As I've said all along, even during his good run, he should always be a plan B. I fully expect Van Gaal to move herrera or mata to the no 10 slot once we get a proper CM

Because I think it is fair to say that Fellaini provided more today than the players I named.
so you don't think he was awful or that people would have reacted with indulgence?
@Walrus Is Fellaini like your dad or something? Your love for him is downright Mad Winger-esque.
Give the guy a break for gods sake people, he's just won us the match! He performed a damn sight better than some out there today.
He is not a great aerial fighter for his size and his hair sometimes seems to act as a sponge when heading. But he has still helped us a bit this season. But despite what has happened this season he is not the type of a player you will need if you intend to be challenging for champions league victory. Neither are Jones, Evans, or Valencia. We need at least 2 top class defenders, and some extra bite in midfield(a hard man, who is also a top box to box guy) And we could also use a top notch striker. Rooney cannot control the ball too well when it comes to him, but can still pull out a surprise or 2. Falcao has had bad luck, and van Persie is nearing his end. Wilson we have not really seen enough of. Cavani would be interesting. All of this is just my opinion.
You said his goals stopped him being slated. That isnt true, because he has always been slated this season, even when he was our most important player.
Yes he done well to get the goal but for his size he is pretty crap in the air. He is 90% elbows, he needs to become 90% head then he would be super.
Like Mata this guy can at least contribute goals when he is playing crap. It would be nice if some of our other players did same. Our strikers, for example.
I'd be shocked (and disappointed) if he's still in the starting eleven next year but he's certainly been a massive asset for us this season. Yet he would have almost inevitably received massively disproportionate criticism if he hadn't scored.

That's pathetic IMO
He wasn't great, but improved in the 2nd half. Also a few important clearances that you probably never noticed
His performance was woeful 1st half for me, second half, when Palace stopped paying as much attention to him, seemed to help him get his passing together at least.
If he hadn't scored, as others have mentioned he would be taking some serious flak.

Agree, he was no worse than anyone else.
he was praised after some good performances this season and rightly so, so that is not true from you but why do we talk about this?
he was shit today and we shouldn't make him automatic starter next season although I was excited with some of his performances..
Performance wasn't that good (most of the team was bad to be fair) but he certainly has a knack for scoring important goals.

As others have said, he wasnt really much worse than anyone else. He was sloppy in possession compared to others, but made a lot more defensive headers and clearances. Pretty much balances itself out, and he scored the winning goal.
This...
after a poor 1st half, I actually thought Fellaini had some good moments in the 2nd half... plus the goal (which will secure us 4th).
and if in your extremely questionable Match ratings you gave Fellaini get a 0, then Falcao should have been a minus 5... not only does he offer NOTHING up front, but he was a defensive liability in the 2nd half.
He got another important goal for us today again, one that has probably secured CL football. Still yet again the same brigade of crying cnuts are out, doesn't matter what he does. There are fans that don't believe he's good enough for Man United, always will be. He's a big part of why we are 4th at the moment and only a fool could argue otherwise. Yeah it wasn't his best game today but he was there when it mattered. Fellaini has been treated embarrassingly bad by a lot of United fans, especially in here. Time to give him some credit. He got us going again after the Arsenal defeat and will be at the very least a good squad player next year.

Absolute turd since the match against Manchester City
Scored another important goal though.
Shouldn't be anywhere near our starting lineup next season, unless it's him lining up for another team.

Important goal, but he was gash today. He's not at the level we should be aspiring to.
Has been poor of late, even today but he got us the winning goal. Thanks fellaini.
He couldn't make a 3 yard pass.. but I'm not blaming him today, I was disappointed though but he lacked support which he desperately needs.. and the pitch was awful. He scored a winner I'm happy for him for that..
Terrible 1st half. Decent 2nd half.
He's got good mentality and when we were under the cosh for most of the second half he got in with a battle with the Palace players.

How important was that goal...
Is it just me or has his discipline improved as the season went on too?

In before the "its Walrus!" comments.
Yet people seem to recycle the elbows line continuously.
He scored an important goal, he actually timed his run to perfection to do it. He's not going to be technically brilliant, he won't wow the world, but he's one of the players in our squad that actually have a bit of fire in them, after the rebuilding, he won't be a starter but he will surely be a solid weapon off the bench.
Poor 1st half but got himself in the mix during the 2nd and won us the game. Could probably being doing more in the buildup offensively.
One of my fav players at United now!
Vital goal. I'll leave it at that.
Question is, can he adapt his game when he gets man marked like he has been for the last few games. Big goal today.
He just needed one decent cross to win it in the end despite the random performance. Is he good for United ? Sometimes he really is... Sometimes you need a cnut in opponent's box to get a win like that.
He's definitely topic for a long discussion.

He was one of our worst performers and that was markedly visible. You often make some good points regarding Fellaini and his role in the side but it's all a little one-eyed today. He was genuinely woeful in the first half. He picked it up in the second and his defensive work and goal deserve credit, but on the deck he was nowhere near as good as he can be.
Another dualistic performance from him - he showed why he deserves to be picked and, at the same time, he showed why he shouldn't be in the starting XI next season if we want to progress.
