    That's what fellaini is good at to be fair. Knew it was coming.

    Ball in from Hazard was brilliant

    Fellaini scoring a header? Yeah, it's outlandish.

    I taught 2 0 down they where dead and buried to be honest.

    Just couldn't believe it when he popped up and scored then to level it!

    On another day would of had 2 or 3. Wouldn't surprise me to see him bag the winner yet though.

    Indeed but still think he will win the game for Belgium. Would like to see this go to extra time. Very entertaining second half.

    I think it's time to just admit that Fellaini is in the same bracket as Ronaldo and Messi. Single handedly won the game for Belgium

    What a dummy by Lukaku at the end, superb awareness

    Lukaku with the post match team talk in the huddle. Hazard might wear the armband but it looks like Lukaku is the main man in that squad.

    I think it was a very odd decision to make Hazard captain. The cynic in me thinks Martinez did it to get him on side.

    The best one I can ever remember and I can go back to 1978. I also think we need to keep the World Cup in Russia, because on and off the field, it's been fantastic.

    He always seems to be a humpy, moody type, so that wouldn't surprise me.

    Belgium lucky in the end.

    If they had McTominay coming off the bench to influence the game it wouldn't have went down to the last kick of the game.

    I take it people are taking the mick about activating the buy-back clause on Januzaj?

    Give him a run of games in the United team and he would be fantastic....

    I know that has become a bit of a running joke here, but can't argue that the key to finding form is from regularly playing.

    And when that line was first used I thought it was regarding Shaw and the point was after he had a number of good games he found himself back on the bench, so it wasn't a point of just playing him despite performances.

    To be fair Sanchez for a large part of the season was afforded a run of games despite his performances.

    But getting back on track. Yeah, I take it people are just joking about activating Januzaj's buy back.

    Exactly. We all know Martial has the ability. Give him a run of games and he shows his worth. Shaw is a lost cause as jose doesnt trust him

    Yeah actually looking back, may have been started regarding Martial.

    If he does go this window we should be expecting good money for him and to spend the money on a great RW.

    And I agree, unless we hold onto Shaw and something happens to Young that forces Shaw to play, where he proves himself, Shaw is done.

    Aye but the the key thing is you should be playing on merit. Not just a charity spot. If you come of the bench and be rubbish then you hardly deserve a start. Martial at the start of last year was electric despite only coming off the bench for the last 20 or so minutes, that deserved to get him a start. Martial at the end of the season was having hopeless 90 minutes, therefore he shouldn't be getting a charity starting spot. It was at the end of last year people started complaining over Martial's gametime.

    No matter which player it is, not getting into another Martial/Shaw/whoever, we don’t see the whole picture

    It’s all well and good saying that these players should be getting a consistent run in the team, but The players need to prove that everyday in training and the like, for all we know they could be slacking/not giving 100%.

    It’s widely known that Jose demands 100% commitment, not just in games but everyday, be it in training or even in everyday life.. 100% commitment to the club, things like Martials agent mouthing off or Shaw looking a bit off in Ibiza(just an example, please don’t start another debate) are hardly going to help matters. Contrast that to the likes of Sanchez,who’s posting up videos of him basically training in the desert, or Lukaku and Pogba training while in the states last summer.

    And Fergie was the same tbf he despised that sort of carry on.
