laughing at the people saying fellaini won't fit this system. i'm guessing the replacement would be osman?

Fellaini fits any system. He's that good a player.

And every team needs something who will win the ball back. So whoever says "he won't fit the system" is chatting bubbles.

Anyone recon sharp isn't keen on the way RM has us playing either!

 

[Netromelo]

HOLY SH*T

That Cedric lad was just signed by Real Betis from Numancia for €1.20. And no, I did not forget to add a "m". WTF.

We have to face it, we don't have the players to play a passing system. Until we get more creativity in the midfield, we should stick to what has worked in previous seasons. We look absolute dire.

Def-ina-tly.

 

[HibbertsLeftFoot]

We're getting snotted here. We desperately need a strong, athletic defensive midfielder regardless of whether Fellaini leaves.

Sort it out Everton.

Exactly.

If ever people needed to see if we'd miss him today is the day.

I don't like RM tactics and style of play....There I said it!!
We look more toothless in attack than ever.

Utd on the other hand look very slick and attacking.
Albeit Weak opposition.

Unreal.

 

[Blue Cheese]

not playing great admittedly but winning, we need a ball playing centre mid. The same story as last season with these players, if the opposition put them under pressure they can't perform very well, no composure, that's why we need a ball playing cm someone not afraid to have the responsibility on the ball. that's only my opinion of course.

 

[ArtetaMagic]

I'm suddenly very worried about the new season. This is awful! Betis have us pegged, pushing 3 up putting pressure on us trying to play it out

 

[Bedfordshiretoffee]

On what I have seen I predict we will conceded first goal of the new season from the 3pm kicks offs.
Shaped up like a Sunday league team. Happy to be proved wrong in second half

Gibson showing that he cant be relied upon fitness wise.

If only we didnt spend 5m on a hungry hippo, we could bought a midfielder.

 

[Christiffa25]

um yeah, they have spent a good £100m odd on their attackers though, whilst ours have cost about £16m

Doesn't matter how much we spend if they never get the ball whilst were pissing around with it at the back!

 

[Tubey]

I see the usual Moyes darlings are out in force ****ging off Martinez ASAP...

Ah well. For me, yes that wasn't great, but it can only get better. I'd rather put in a half like that against Betis and learn from it rather than see it for the first time in the Premier League.

 

[Allezfan]

We're not playing well but we were this bad last season vs malaga and we started the year like a train, pre season doesn't matter.
