    A big lump; an animal; a niggly git; kicked out; moaned; groaned, but my oh my, what a player. Hats off to him, becasue he was everywhere. At one point I didn't know if he was playing centre forward, centre midfield, right back or left wing. Every time a ball dropped anywhere on the pitch there was this big floaty afro on the end of it.

    Saints were magnificent last night, but credit also to Fellaini, he is some player.

    Completely agree - such a talented player who really gets in your face and gets everywhere across the pitch.

    Didn't realise quite how big he was too!

    Morgan's going to have a black eye as a reminder of playing against Fellaini but as you say he was everywhere .

    Someone should sneak into his room when he's sleeping and straighten his hair.

    First half he seemed to be playing off of Jelavic and was always a threat.

    Second half he dropped a bit deeper in to midfield and bossed the game.

    An exceptional player.

    Agree a good player. In general though i thought that Saints handled him reasonably well last night. He has a knack of getting away with quite a lot of niggly pushes & shoves too, which is an art in itself i guess.

    I was complaining all game about how good he is. He's everywhere on the field and does everything brilliantly, it's like having two really good players on the field with how much he spreads himself about,

    To be fair Shawcross copped three elbows and a headbutt off him in half an hour. I suppose the elbows were worse.

    He must be a contender for "Player of the Season" surely?

    Agreed, in the first half particularily he was the only composed Everton player. In all honesty was probably the best player on the pitch yesterday.

    Think I saw yoshida beat him in the air once, he was very good though. Think it was him who had that point blank shot that boruc cleared with his foot.

    It was, although having now seen it on the television, he gave Clyne a sneaky little shove just as the cross was hit in... ala Lambert on Cahill.

    surprised neither of the manc teams have paid the 25 million buy out clause that he has, whoever buys him wins the league simple. Morgan did give him a hard night though.

    Yes indeed I bet his elbow is still tingling.

    For a while in the first half he was man marking Puncheon, he might have regretted doing that in the 2nd half!

    He is the muscles from Brussels.


    Whereas Puncheon just had something bad for his Luncheon.

    They do, but they still won't win anything.
