    Fellaini should play there because he is no where near creative enough to play attacking mid/ second striker.

    i agree Daniel son

    i get your point but if were honest we would all like to see someone else there ... it may be that you're saying with the players we have theres no reason to get on nevs like the br does but it isnt enough anymore to say we dont have the money for better or we need his leadership because surely we could loan someone better and i think jags has good leadership qualities

    Thanks love. Should play either Osman, Mirallas or Pienaar there me thinks. Gibbo and Fellaini were dominant the second half of last season. As they say, if it ain't broke...

    personally if it were me today mate i would have played Coleman right mid, Neville right back, felli next to ozzy in the middle of the park and either anichebe and jelly upfront, OR, Jelly with Naismith in behind.......

    Yes mate, if they are both fit, i do not see any midfield partnership in the prem that would get the better of those 2 playing  there. it would make us that solid i dont really see many games we could be beaten in.

    i definitely would not be opposed to that ... nevs just doesnt belong in middle ... cant wait for mira11as to be back so we can actually pose a threat down the right side and i would, all fit, have ossie out left actually because this season i think he and bainesy have looked more of a threat as a connection than peanuts and bainesy ... move felli back with gibbo and have peanuts behind felli

    neither is Fellaini, cos he aint an attacking midfielder, why don;t people moan about that?? Fellaini creates literally nothing. Shouldn;t we be expecting more from an attackign midfielder? And before you say it, i aont blaming him cos its Moyes that plays him there :)

    SOoooooooooooooooooo True

    He interupted one of our best chances to get a goal. Coleman bursted in that box looking to have a real go at that swansea defense like he did all game and Neville walks right in front of him and disrupts what could have been a goal. I find Neville to be a handicap more than i do anything else. His attitude is great and professionalism is wonderful but his skills and attributes are below par especially for a team that is pushing for champions league football despite the size of the squad.

    People will say he's a real player who knows the game and is a useful utility player and I would agree, when we signed him. but now i find him a hindrance in a vastly improved squad that has been built to succeed the older signings Moyes has acquired.

    He shouldnt be played in midfield when we have a young Ross Barkley ready to make his mark in the game and to be perfectly honest i would rather have Coleman at RB. I like Coleman playing in that full back position  he's really looking the part as each week he gradually gets better and more confident especially with Mirallas in front of him it's a force to be reckoned with.

    Sorry, but Nev is sh*t in midfield...... All he done today was constantly pass backwards, and he stole a shot from Coleman of which I think Coleman could of netted.

    Seen more use in a used teabag than Nev in midfield.....

    Neville is shlte simple as.....the fact he gets into our team shows why we won't finish in the top 4.

    The 2 main problems with our team is the shakeyness in the first third and the lack of cutting edge in the final third. We have tons of possession in every game. Surely the middle third is the last thing that needs fixing.

    Spot on jaybeck i fully agree -
    Neville ads absolutely no value to any ball - i have never seen any PL player showing other players to rather pass the ball to someone else rather than himself like Neville does -
    that steal off Coleman which left Coleman furious was criminal - well spotted - very few people have - or they are too scared to talk about it -
    we cannot have a captain with a negative mindset who gets pulled off in a lot of games before the whistle goes -
    in my opinion he needs permanent replacement - promising potential of young players must be exposed and given experience we are not fighting for survival we are aiming at the top - to reach that we have to go forward not sideways and backwards
