[fellani scored 12 goals and 8 assists in 29 appearances for everton in 12/13 as an attacking midfielder. he's very handy in CM too, I remember last season when we lost 3-0 he dominated midfield and the middle of
the park, why can't he do the same again if man utd can balance their midfield correctly? even if fellani won't be at man utd in 2 seasons you have to try
Fellaini is useful if you want to play a long ball game, he is absolutely awful with the ball on the floor and Man Utd will never resort to the long ball tactics that got the best out of him at Everton. He hasn't got any technical ability to dominate a midfield and can only do so from an aerial perspective, it really does baffle me how he starts for Belgium considering the proper footballers in midfield they have. He would have been a perfect player for the old Wimbledon teams. Good points, agree with them all other than I'd dispute he's awful with the ball at his feet, although his technical game isn't there which you've pointed out, he still can hold off players, and his tackling can be good. you're right man utd will never get the best out of fellani least because man utd can't counter attack as everton did (in the form of runners) when fellani was a more successful premier league player.

Well Suarez didn't end his career in the toilet, did he? More to the point, he'd never consider even going there.

He's clumsy, he committed around 10 fouls last night and should have been sent off before the elbow for persistent fouling.

I tend to agree with Torres myself - Fellaini(?) isn't the most gifted player in the world and I wouldn't want him anywhere near our squad, but he must be a pain in the arse to play against.

He is hard to play against because he is more of a battering ram than a footballer, his only strengths for me are heading, strength and physicality, there is very little 'football' skill to his game.

Even though he is good at heading, I think he also lacks balance chris? especially when he's tired, maybe that's why he's so clumsy?

Fellaini is a good player but I can't see how he would fit into a top team's style of play.
As for Scholes, he was just frustrated last night and you can understand why.

You can't get worse than the Ginger Whinger. I could never understand how someone of his size got away with viciously kicking almost everything that moved during a 15-year playing career, but an arrogant comment that insults a team they weren't even losing to just takes the biscuit:
"The last thing I want for Manchester United is to be happy with finishing fourth and winning the FA Cup. That's what Arsenal do."
The (excuse for a) guy really needs a hard slap in the face. And much, much more. Based on your text above I am struggling to understand what scholes has done wrong. I thought he was very straight and honest about Uniteds failings and neither him or ferndinand said anything took anything away from Liverpools performance
