    You know what I mean . I think we should be able to dominate a team like newcastle without having to resort to lumping it into fellaini . But hey its just my opinion.

    We could indeed, here's the formation I'd like to see given the starting 11 that I posted up on the match thread:
    DDG
    Val--Smalling--Evans--Rojo
    Blind
    Fellaini----Herrera
    Di Maria
    Young
    Rooney

    But of course if we were playing the 4-2-3-1 you suggested I would rather see Herrera play in that central attacking midfield position with Blind and Fellaini in behind, or even just to directly swap Fellaini and play Mata as a #10.

    I dont agree. We dont need route one football against Newcastle ffs.

    Who said anything about route one football. The fact is Fellaini has showed himself better at holding up the ball than any of our strikers.

    He also offers a threat from set pieces which are important in tight away games.

    A real no brainer to play him tonight.

    Can the guys giving out saying we will play route one define thier meaning of it on thread and we can see how many times it happens in a game where Fellaini starts.

    Set pieces and lumping it up to fellaini to hold it up . Awesome. Im pretty sure with our squad , were better than that. How bout swift counter attacking football with rooney ADM and wilson or would that be too risky to the laboured possesion football we play.

    Mindless long high balls into a tall forward player. You know the type of stuff that is played at your local park by lads who are hung over.

    Presuming you mean from before the half way line and one he is able to get clean possesion of dont count as they would be accurate and crosses wont count either.

    LVG just came to the sidelines, Bangkok is going on a 6 week party binge, with cocaine and hookers and all sorts.

    So far it looks a better performance we are unlucky not to be ahead imo.

    Newcastle are awful, we've been so wasteful. Should be 2 or 3 up. Di Maria has been poor/poison again.

    Evans is a dirty prick too.

    Twice Di Maria gives away the ball, Newcastle go up the pitch and get two clear-cut chances. The guy is toxic.

    I like the balance to the team today. We've done enough to be ahead easily.

    Not a hoof in site yet again but people will still see them somehow.

    They should have had a penalty though.

    Not many long balls from the long ball team. Disappointed.

    Mata on for Fellaini seems such an obvious choice for me. Fellaini has almost been anonymous, bar his header. Can't see LVG taking Fellaini off in case we need to lump it to him with 20 mins to go.
    With Rooney up front and two wingers, Mata would be so much more useful, Fellaini can't spread the play or play through balls

    For real? Fellaini has been as good as anyone that half. P

    Maybe people are just looking for how many headers he wins to judge him?
