Chelsea game basically exemplified my own criticisms of current Manchester United affairs.
We all knew Mourinho parks the bus against big teams. So here we have a team with the likes of Fellaini starting with huge attacking talent, such as Mata, on the bench. Surprise surprise what happens when we go down early. But all the idiot United fans raving about Mourinho should have known better.
As predicted, Zlatan isn't that good and he now serves to keep Rashford out of his best position. Because Rashford is being played out of position, we no longer play Martial.
I'd kill to see 11 players (without Fellaini) in their best positions. I honestly don't think we've seen that since Sir Alex.
Carrick has a great game midweek and is benched for Fellaini. Mata also benched. Entertain me - other than United name the best team in the premier league Fellaini would start in... Sunderland perhaps? Seriously I think Fellaini is poison in this team. The occasional okayish performance keeps him around but covers up the fact that we should be aiming so much higher. Whenever you hear criticism of Fellaini whoever is defending him says the exact same line, "he's quite good at ____ and I think he still has a part to play." Well how about a midfielder that is also quite good at ____ but doesn't take 5 touches to turn around and pass the ball backwards.
Finally, we will never see the best of Pogba next to Fellaini. It is easy to criticise him given the transfer fee, but personally I do not blame him. We all know what kind of player Pogba is. He needs players like Carrick and Herrera next to him. People who can actually pass him the ball. Basically just not Fellaini.
Personally I'd kill to see this:
