Marouane Fellaini is making a name for himself at Everton through his physicality and strength in the midfield… but that doesn’t mean he’s incapable of a little flair now and then. Check this move against Manchester City this past weekend. (thanks to Off the Post for capturing video)
9.9 from the judges! What made it better was the reaction in the Match of the Day studios. Alan Hansen noted it was “absolutely fantastic” and that “we only showed it because it’s Craig Bellamy.” Lineker’s piled on, saying it was a “good point, well made,” while the cameras didn’t show Alan Shearer’s reaction to it all. Maybe it had something to do with the fact that five years ago, Bellamy left a string of abusive, drunk voicemail and text messages on Shearer’s phone, and clearly, the MotD crew don’t forget such things.
Whatever your personal take, Fellaini’s trick was glorious.
Playing for United in 18 months, can feel it.
Let’s hope not, eh?
It was depressing how easily he dominated the midfield on Saturday. Especially if you’re Gareth Barry.
Ah, Gaz Baz. Remember when he was highly coveted?
I look forward to four years from now when the British press fellates SAF for “developing” his new attack of Screech, Young, Modric, and Silva.
@JT: I remember how pissed I was that Arsenal didn’t get Barry because I didn’t rate Song or Denilson. The crow tastes mighty fine with a glass of milk.
Believe it or not, Lucas is actually having a far better season than Barry. And Lucas sucks!
Georger: I’d love to know what money SAF is going to spend on that quartet, considering Old Trafford is mere months away from becoming a giant ATM machine for the Glazer brood.
@Highbury — indeed it does! I’m certainly happy that LFC didn’t spend 20m that we don’t actually have on Mr. Barry
Surely, the biggest gloating is reserved for Keith on this one.
Evil, much like life, will find a way.
Georger: thou doth speak of doomsday too much
“Screech” Georger? I’ve been trying to get Fletch Fellaini to catch on (6’5″, 6’9″ with the Afro).
Is that Maurice, or Pierre?
Provo Spain?
I’ll level with you, I used Screech because I was too lazy to scroll up and see how his name is spelled, as I always get it wrong. And I hate Tommy LaSorda.
Screech is pretty good though. I’m sort of torn between the two. Maybe we’ll do a post with a poll on it.
@Georger and PR: Why don’t you two go down to the gym and pump each other?
You can never have too many white man fro’s in the game.
I miss George Berry and Carlos Valderrama.
