He's not good enough because of his playing style. People don't like long ball tactic but Fellaini is one of the best player for long ball tactic and there are some teams out there hate playing against long ball. He's a bit clumsy but he's not a bad player IMO. It'll be interesting to see how clubs in CL to stop him and Mourinho's plan B. I can see more managers will complain about it like Klopp and Peter Bosz.
My, those chest controls. His chest control is like Zidane's footwork.
The season hasnt even started and the cliches and sillyness are brought out.
Did you watch the Europa League final at all?
Did you see what it was he did in that game and why it was so important and why he was close to the best player on the pitch?
He wasnt used for the purpose of long ball football in the final, he wasnt used as a battering ram or for his clumsiness or any of the other cliches and preconceived reasons so many parrot.
If you watched the game properly you will have seen exactly what he did, how he followed a clear instruction and how he executed his job to perfection. I suspect you have no idea what it was though.
The season hasn't even started and the cliches and sillyness of some poster who doesn't know how to read are coming already.
Did you read my post properly? I said he's the best player to play long ball. I never said he was only good enough for the purpose of long ball which I also don't think that's the only stuff he can offer. I suggest you to learn how to read people post properly before waste both our time arguing something pointless.
Oh by the way may be there is one thing we can discuss here, we also did use Fellaini for long ball in Final EL though.
Good greif,
if you actually watch that video you can see what his main job was and how well he did it. It has nothing to do with long balls.
No wonder you get so much wrong in here.
It used to make me dread the match whenever I saw his name on the team sheet. Now I know when he is playing we will have at least one person on the pitch who won't hide and will give a solid performance. His control of the long ball with his chest is probably the best in the league. I can safely bet no one likes to play against him.He's not the player who'll ever play or even be associated with champagne football. But he is an amazing plan B and always executes the manager's plan to perfection. The Europa final showed how effective he can be against certain teams and certain tactics. Also I like players who give their all on the pitch. Glad to have him. Very good squad option to have.
But... wow.He's an outstanding player.
One of the best CMs in the league. He was a snip for £27m.
Not sure about the mentally strong part. His confidence looked completely shot after that booing, and he play that way for a while.Love the guy. Perfect squad player and never complains. Played a significant role in winning two cups. Has respect for the club. Mentally strong as nails despite the undeserved abuse he gets, it seems to be the "cool" thing to slate him on twitter.
I see him being a vital player in the domestic cups and in some league games this season. I hope Mourinho goes all out for the FA Cup, Fellaini should be able to play a part in getting us there.
Not sure many players would find it easy being boo'd by his own fansNot sure about the mentally strong part. His confidence looked completely shot after that booing, and he play that way for a while.
But... wow.
Didnt take him too long to score a goal after the booing if you recall. His confidence didnt look shot to me, thats probably why Mourinho kept playing him, the guy simply got on with it despite the booing.Not sure about the mentally strong part. His confidence looked completely shot after that booing, and he play that way for a while.

Absolute beast. Love his tenacity, and kind of summed his half up when he fought for the ball and got it to Martial, where we went onto score.
Good half from the big man.
