The transition from Arteta to Fellaini has been a painful one, a massive downgrade, and an unaddressed problem. Central midfield creativity has been sacrificed for 'physical presence'.
Well done for winning a few headers against United. I have never seen Fellaini:
tackle well;
shoot convincingly; (especially from distance)
take players on;
unlock defences - I'm talking through balls, balls over the top, anything clever;
he lacks intelligence, pace, poise, guile, awareness, and simply quality.
Letting Arteta go for less than we paid for Fellani was criminal. We'd be a far better team if we could swap them.
