    i don't think we do tbh. Jela thrives off low crosses. With naismith doing the leg work, just keep putting low crosses into jelavic and he'll score two or three

    Yes he was.

    People are forgetting that Fellaini played second striker away at Man United, where Jelavic scored 2. Fellaini also played behind Jelavic when we beat Fulham 4 - 0, where Jelavic also scored 2. Jelavic is low of confidence, that is all it is, and due to his lack of confidence he is trying too hard to score.

    jela scored 2 against norwich, felli was playing deeper with cahill behind jela. I think fellaini cramps his style

    wouldnt it be ironic if moyes started fellaini on the bench for the remaining games of the season, meaning, all of them, and we won the cup and got in europe

    I think you have a similar misunderstanding of the word Ironic as Alanis Morrisette does.....

    I don't think its anything to do with that to be honest, its just a lack of confidence. A lot if his goals last year was with his first touch, and when you are low of confidence you tend to take a second choice, so he is just low of confidence.

    Jelavic also scored against Newcastle last year when Felaini was behind the striker because I remember Cahill came on from the bench and got sent off, so I really don't believe its anything to do with Fellaini, its just a lack of confidence.

    i think he spends more time out on the flanks than actually in the box which is the main difference this season. Now cahill is gone, he's doing all the pressing because, lets be honest, fellaini isn't exactly the type of player who chases lost causes. I think if we play naismith behind jela, he'll score a lot more. Only my opinion though

    After about 5 mins the other night against Oldham I actually asked my lad if Nicky was playing left wing....

    exactly. He's always said he wants to play in front of the back four

    Felli wasn't cramping Jelavic's style on Tuesday against a league 1 team, and he still didn't score......
    Jelavic was getting plenty of chances when felli was behind him, he was just missing them......his confidence is gone, its as simple as that....

    I think if we play Naismith behind Jelavic we'd actually see a bit more from Naismith himself as he's not a winger. When he plays on the wing its pretty much up to Coleman to provide the only threat down the right.
