I think your both right, in a way, Fellaini is meant to be a natural box-to-box midfielder, but he cant tackle for [Poor language removed]. As Toccy says i havent seen him track back for the last few weeks, his role has been to support Cahill in a second striker role. Its where he has shone. Neville and Arteta have been on Def duty.

But i think he has played as a box2box midfielder, when he first came he did play fairly deep and joined in with attacks.

Which is basically what I said. Spot on really.
 

Someone who supports the front man and plays just off him. There are many different styles of second strikers. There isn't one exact way how to play the role, it can be played in many different ways depending on what type of player you are.


Handy that! hes as box to box as a gigalo dipped in a bucket of farnheight for me, you gotta love opinions though!

So what would happen if Fenandes came back?

I mean, Fellaini will no doubt be in the starting line-up.

Arteta clearly can't be dropped.

Which leaves three positions for regulars Osman, Piennar, Fernandes and Cahill.

If TB is correct and Fellaini is essentially playing the Cahill role, then Cahill has to go. Otherwise we could push Fellaini just behind Cahill, playing off Arteta with either Osman and Pienaar on the left and Manny on the right.

Seems a bit disjointed, though.

Perhaps we've no great need for Manuel now?

Could still take Pennant, though.

.......Saha/Victor/A.N. Other
.................Cahill
Pienaar Fellaini Arteta Osman/Pennant

Is that crap, TB?

I'd love to have Manny here regardless but agree there really wouldn't be spot for him in our current lineup. The only place I'd put him is next to Arteta in the middle of the park.
 
Fernandes was an exotic McFadden. Showed in glimpses that there is potential to be great, but never managed to be consistent. He had four decent games for us in two loan spells, and the rest of the time he went AWOL. Even in the United game when he scored a screamer, he was virtually invisible for the rest of the game.

Whilst Fernandes may be a nice luxury player to showboat now and then, for impact on the team, Fellaini wins hands down, once he has his tackling upto Premierleague speed he'll be a very good all round player.
 

Fellaini all the way. You know where to find him when the match is underway.

Unlike manny he does not hide. ever, not even from the ref.
