    Algerian players are so technically gifted. At Uni, I played against a team of players from Algeria and then Jordan all of whom seemed stronger, taller and much more technically gifted than ourselves.

    Lol, look a lot better now Lukaku is off, and Fellaini is on.

    Well they were disappointing until Lukaku and Dembele went off and Fellaini came on. Fellaini is playing like he did at Everton.

    You'd have thought Moyes would have worked it out.

    Feel sorry for Algeria as a win would have been great for them, however I've been to Belgium a few times and it's a nice place (it's my emigration destination for when UKIP get a commons majority) so I'm glad they won.

    He probably realised, but they have so many other attacking midfielders there was no room for him there. After his poor start dropping one of Rooney, Mata, Januzaj, Kagawa, etc, for him to play higher up the pitch would have been politically difficult.

    Yep. He certainly looked the player of old, and perfectly good enough for ManU, if managed well. Strange that Moyes didn't know how to solve the problem.
