I'd like to ask - is Fellaini a good player or not? What do people think?

He's big and wins headers from goalie hoofouts - looks comfortable on the ball and is imposing - can take the ball out of a tight situation and pass it off - and he's the 'big head' to aim for, from Neville's into the box throw ins - but what else does he do really? Last week on match of the day they showed Chelsea's Mata covering tons of ground and pulling the strings on everything cos he's always involved and fast across the ground

when I look at Fellaini he's usually just lumbering slowly around the pitch not doing too much (he didn't stick close to or close down Mata for first chelsea goal)

What would people rate Fellaini out of 10 and how much is he worth - cos if he aint re-signing he's got to go...

(does he think a champs league team are going to sign him? I can't see it myself)

Moyes has used tactics and teams that have served him well in the past but have not worke this term against the top teams the big question will come against Fulham if Moyes uses the same again and gets 3 points it would be justified but if it fails again it would be time to ditch the old guard and bring in the young players and new signings and a more attacking approach he would have nothing to loose, except his job maybe

The current set up doesnt work against any team let alone the big boys! We lost to qpr,just about beat blackburn in all honesty they should of won, beat wigan but the scoreline flattered us,so far the only game we looked any good was agsinst villa, and the last 3 games were just woeful! Moyes needs to earn his money now and make changes!

Great to see Big Dunc back at the club. Hope all goes well with him getting his badges. Future manager? Remember when he made a guest appearance at half time? Not heard Goodison that loud for a long time, and our second half performance was great! IN DUNK WE TRUST ;)

I'm getting a bit fed up of Moyes saying the reason we lost was because the other team has spent a lot more and has superior players. Yes that's true but:
1. how does that make his own players feel - it's like he's saying I've got crap players and that's why I aint winning the league
2. yes it's true that moeny counts but instead of just saying the other team has spent more he needs to finish off the complaint by saying it's a 2 tier league now that we have the champs league - and it has made the english premiership unfair for any of the teams not geting into the champs league - they can't compete and something needs to be done about it - like 1. spreading the revenues around further or 2. making the champs league a separate league with 4 english teams in it and 2 up 2 down each season or 3. making the league cup for non euro competing teams - so that a lot more teams have a chance of winning 'something'

it's getting boring for everyone except champions league teams nowadays

There's something in that idea mate. Like it.
I should imagine the players do get dis-heartened with Moyes saying these things. He needs to start putting his arm around them and saying, 'you're a great player' instead of doing what he's doing.

Agree1 Disagree0

Lets talk our team up for Christs sake ! the s**te are no better than us but when their ex players go on they think they can compete for top 4 and talk their team up all the time , the ONLY one that does it for us is Stuart Barlow on Radio city .take a hint Sharpey !Lets stop being so defeatist .

Agree0 Disagree0

Its hard to be upbeat and positive when we play the most boring football i have seen for a long time what makes it worse is that we hve the plyers who can inject some excitment and pace into the way we play but they are constantly warming the bench with the odd 20 min cameos, i love everton i want to see us where we belong! Sick of seeing the same team sheet! Boring,predictable going nowhere! I hope moyes sorts it out soon, big dunc should have a word!

Agree1 Disagree0

They are not fihting religation like us mate.

WE ALL KNOW MOYES I WOULD NOT BE SUPRISED IF THIS WAS THE TEAM ON SATURDAY

Howard
Hibbert
Jagielka
Distin
Baines

Coleman
Fellaini
Neville
Osman

Cahill Saha

Once again picking his favourites and leaving the likes of Gueye, Drenthe, Vellios and Heitinga on the bench !!
Getting annoyed now, a good manager should change things when it doesn't go right.
Moyes never has a plan b

May I ask you Guys n Gals if Barkley is as good as people say he is and where (as a player) do you see him in 5yrs time.... HERBIE(MUFC) {Ed025's Note - he is as good as people say...and hopefully he will still be with us in 5 years..

Believable0 Unbelievable0

If he is still at us in 5 years i will be shocked.
If we can get 3 years out of him then sell him for 25-30 million then we'd have to take that. We need to start being realistic we can't compete with the top 4 and they will eventually take all of our better players

Agree0 Disagree0

Thanks for the reply.... And do you believe he has the potential to be world class, I know its early days but I would just like some input from people who have seen him play.... Thanks in advance.
HERBIE(MUFC) {Ed025's Note - i believe he is the real deal, you can see when he is on the ball, that he seems to have more time than other players, and has vision which belies his years, but we did say that about rodwell, who is still a good player but has not progressed as quickly as we thought..

Agree0 Disagree0
