Took his goal beautifully. He's back, but then again he never went away.

I've not read through the thread much so this may have been mentioned before...but I think he's only looked bad because of our tactics at certain times.
When we play on the floor, he's lethal. Not so much when plan A is hit Fellaini, get it out wide and cross into the box,or just play down the wings and cross into the box, and this is how we play quite often. But It's not just him who suffers, it negates much of our goal scoring threat in general when the opposition pack the box with big tall defenders like today., it's the trap we fall into when you have a big man like Fellaini or an 'aerial threat' like Cahill playing up front. It's why Saha stuggled last year and is why jelavic isn't hitting full potential this year - it's all about Fellaini but at the expense of proper service to the actual striker. Sometimes it works, but when it gets sussed out you're in trouble.
Luckily today moyes sorted it as shown by our goals coming when the ball was played on the floor after the tactical sub that sent Fellaini back...but many of the draws I think came from over reliance on crosses. Hopefully Mirallas is back soon as him being injured compounds the problem because without him it's all on pienaar's shoulders

And I forgot to say I agree he's been brilliant in drifting wide, coming back to pick up the ball etc. a real team player even when not getting the service. That's where Saha etc failed as they sulked in similar situations

That tackle by the touchline was great, proper desire to win the ball back for the team

Is it any Suprise that FELLIANI is getting amongst it and jelavic isn't, the long balls Steven Gerrard mentioned?
Hmm

Not been the same since he "Hit the post" against Newcastle. You wonder whether he is 100% fit, goal could do wonders for him now though.
I think he will need a rest at some point, hes played a hell of a lot of football and you know how we like to flog our strikers at Everton.
