Busting our balls [Vadis odjidja ofoe]

Fellaini and Osman in the middle would be my choice, a perfectly good, well balanced partnership and one Moyes has used before. Gibson won't be out forever, we've still got Master Pip and the likes of Junior and Barkley can push themselves into contention. It's disappointing but it's not the end of the world.
 
He went off injured cos he sht out of a tackle with agbonlahor though. In midfield he turns his back too often when making challenges, whereas at the back he looks more confident in his tackling. I'd rather not see him anywhere near the midfield to be honest.

Yeah but that's the ideal situation, unfortunately this deal falling through gives Neville more games in centre mid, will be astonished if it's not nev/Osman and fellaini in front for the next month, I guarantee that combo will see us losing to Newcastle

Fellaini will drop deeper in the exact same way that he has done so in our last two games.

And we will be poor whoever plays alongside Fellaini.
 
Can see neville getting ripped a new a hole by newcastles midfield 3 of cabaye tiote and ben arfa!! (cries thinking about neville getting roasted and running around pointing)

We use the squad mate as my post above, even Pienaar can come inside or Ossie with Felli as anchor, or play Nev or Heitinga beside Felli or go Heitinga, Neville as a sheild infront of the back four. That said im not convinced Gibbo is very badly injured. He may be touch and go for Newcastle but its not like hes gone for months.

I honestly can't understand how anyone on here can see how playing nev in centre mid is any way a positive thing, him and Osman together are the worst possible combination we could not hope for, completely ineffective

Agreed, Fellaini can't play there at all...

Yep, it's all Nevilles fault, everyone else looks so more assured than Neville in CM.

Gibson, Osman, fellaini, pienaar, Barkley, heitinga are better options than nev in midfield

He played that one alongside Rodwell. That's not the same as playing it alongside Osman. I have no doubts at all of him as a part of a two man deep lying midfield just not as the sole deep lying midfielder.
 
we're playing osman alongside gibson which is a bit more attacking than the gibson/fellaini partnership we had at the end of last season. so felli sitting deep and breaking up play alongside osman, won't be too much of a difference.
