I thought he had a solid game in terms of his overall play and grabbed a vital goal, we should get a decent price in the summer.

So Fellaini starts and we win the game, in arguably our biggest game of the season, where he was arguably our best player. You go Fellaini! :cool:

Love how silent this thread is now. And then people say they don't have an agenda, they're just telling it how it is. So why aren't the same amount of people telling it how it is today?

he was fresh and battled well, loved the little run through the middle in the first half, west ham players be like "oh this is fellaini, no need to press him he will pass it or stumbles anyway". Yeah and he scored his classic scrappy goal but after initial nice work... Can only say well done to him and the manager, looked like a good decision to play him... I just dont like the games when he's off his mind and always gets to the ball second, after games like this I always feel he might still be usefull in the future

Was pretty good today. Fair play to Fellaini. Had a few nice surging runs from deep too.

One match doesn't change judgement based on 3 years in United.

Call it agenda, I don't give a f*ck. I can always call you paranoid.

he played like he cared. Which is more than what carrick and herrera did frankly. He could have easily not cared and screwed up but still seems to want to show that he can be good. I respect him for that.

Played pretty well today. Got the bit of luck for the goal that he deserved for getting into the right position. Fair play to ya Fellaini.

He does tend to have decent games when he plays, but the problem normally is the rest of the team doesnt and United dont tend to have good games.

What has helped him however is it seemed like we played 433 today rather than 4231 (which has seen the best of him last season).

Played well, but really annoys me how he doesn't even look at the target when he gets a shot on goal. It's something that the coaching team should have sorted out ages ago.

That was the type of performance he was putting in during last season's run-in. The system and shape of the team certainly helped him.

Played well tonight and got the winner fair play to him.

He is much more effective in the sort of free role he had tonight rather than in a midfield two alongside Carrick or Schneiderlin.

Have to agree with the general census, he was very good tonight. He sprinted back nearly 40 yards at one stage trying to win the ball back, it was refreshing to see.

The 4-3-3 system suits him better. It probably suits most of our midfielders actually, no idea why we don't play it more often.

Chuffed for him, sounded like he had a blinder. Got himself a very neat goal with a good tap-in. No idea why we insist on playing two DM's and a 10 when we have 4 B2B players at the club. (Herrera, Fellaini, Schniederlin and Bastian). Seems pretty stupid to come to terms with, 50 odd games into a shocker of a season.

he actually dribbled forward with the ball from central midfield and put himself about! Forgotten what that's like watching Schneiderlin and Carrick so much. Happy that he can play a role for us, would still sell though!

LVG's notebook
One of our better players yesterday.

When will LVG realise that for him to be effective he has to be played further up-field?

Instead he persists with him at defensive midfield, when every man and his dog can see he does not have the skill set to fulfil that role.

When Herrera stepped back and Fellaini moved forward, that is when we were at our most dangerous. He can win balls in the final third and provide opportunities for Rashford and Martial to run on to. That's how he was such a huge success at Everton.

He wasn't all that in the first half, but much better in the second half.

The 4-3-3 suits him a lot better than any role in the 4-2-3-1

Great lamp post. We wouldn't have scored the second goal if the ball didn't hit him
