David Moyes thinks Fellaini could become Cahill's long term replacement in the hole.

In common parlance they're used to mean the exact same thing.

Common parlance uses lots of subtly different terms as synonyms.

My opinion on Fellaini has always been that his job is mostly defensive (winning the bal, tackling, intercepting etc) but his positioning has always been fairly attacking.

You cannot reasonably refer to him as a holding midfielder because holding is a term that refers solely to positioning.

Yes you can, and people frequently do.

And I frequently correct them when they do so.

Even though it's perfectly fine.

It's not though because people act like if Fellaini is in the centre we wouldn't have a holding midfielder alongside him and we would.

If you asked Marouane to describe his midfield position he would shrug and say, "Heh, I donmind, Everton is good team and most important is Everton play well".

I think I saw Haedo notch once again with a superb goal.

Haedo mate?

Really mate?

If you asked Marouane's Dad to describe his midfield position he would shrug and say, " Im not even ar*ed, he is too good for Everton anyway, and he wants to test himself spending the highest salary".

Fixed.

Fellaini playing deeper today- what did people think?

He's such a strong player but I feel like he needs a run of games there to get back to his best. Would love us to sign another forward / right winger so we can play Fellaini deep regularly

His best game since he was banned against Stoke, I think.

Bit smug about it being Neville/Fellaini not Osman/Fellaini too.

Good call, but I think we should all be wary about being smug over anything that involves neville 'playing' football

 

[Blue Truth]

yesterday showed why i dont want him behind the striker. we are way too reliant on him when played there and he can easily get completely marked out of the game. we have absolutely no plan b. playing him up there should be the plan b
