I lack pity yes, I don't say play someone like Fellaini, who for Belgium, Everton and Utd has been nothing but crap in defensive midfield role, because being strong or big doesn't make you automatically a good central midfielder.
For someone who keeps suggesting he's part of the sport you show a complete lack of knowledge of the game full stop. You also show pity, you feel sorry for Fellaini and keep making excuses why he'd be good if this, why another player would do well if this that and the other, how it's not their fault.
Firstly if you're a professional footballer(which is severely questionable) it doesn't make you automatically a good judge of tactics of footballer quality regardless of what you think. People involved often lose perspective, which is why often the best commentators and pundits tend to be those who didn't play but don't let that stop you.
Fellaini IS crap as a defensive midfielder yet the formation and team you chose was rife with problems. YOu claim LVG knows he has to play 3 at the back because they are defensively weak.. while actively suggesting a WEAKER defensive formation.
An engine doesn't mean you can play in central midfield, being good in central midfield and being decent defensively and offensively would make you a good candidate for central midfield, being able to run all day means NOTHING in terms of where you can play.
He frequently loses the ball cheaply, is a pretty big diver, goes down extremely softly far far more often than he chooses to stay up and ride multiple tackles. He's not good defensively, nothing about his game suggests suiting a central midfield role.
He doesn't play deep in central midfield for club nor country for a reason. That is two absurd suggestions in Di Maria and Fellaini, and in naming an extremely narrow central midfield line up and an extremely narrow front line, you also went four at the back. A formation that would need the fullbacks to bang forward with a player who has time and time again over 4 years showing he can't play defensive midfielder well in front of them, with Di Maria, a not good defensive player on the left side who would be expected to cover at left back or help double up defensively....
It's an absurd formation and line up in every way, then when called on it you try the "but i'm a professional" while pointing out exactly why LVG a professional with more experience than you(unless you're Fergie) hasn't done what you've suggested.... while ignoring that and doing the thing LVG won't do because it's brain dead.
Compassion is why Utd are in the situation they are in. Fergie's compassion for his friend Moyes got him a job he didn't deserve. The squad is as weak as it is because Fergie's compassion kept Welbeck when he shouldn't have, kept Anderson 4 years after he should have been gone, kept Rooney when financially and squad wise they would have been better off getting shot(with the money he has and at his age, it's over now, he'll decline every year and be too old to be worth any money as well as no one wanting to match his wages now).
Compassion isn't a good thing in football, most of the biggest success comes when teams are cut throat and don't keep around players because they've been their ages and they hope they improve, or wish they get chances, or pray their injury troubles are over.
Wenger got shot of Petit and Overmars when they were successful to get what he thought were better players, we won even more. When he hung on to Song, Diaby, Djourou, etc, etc... that compassion. When he started making compassionate decisions about Rosicky and Diaby rather than cut throat decisions is when Arsenal became useless, and when Fergie started to keep Welbeck rather than get shot of Stam/Beckham/ect, that is when Utd's squad declined massively.
Real Madrid got shot of Ozil(much loved by players and fans) and brought in Bale, finally won La Decima.
Barcelona kept starting Xavi and Iniesta when they were ineffective, they kept starting Messi because he wanted to play even though he was well below par, they didn't buy a CB because they kept relying on Puyol... they declined... compassion.
Xavi's decline from four years ago is the most obvious one in european football, compassion is why he started in the world cup, compassion is why Casillas was playing, compassion is why Torres was brought on... compassion is why Spain were so utterly **** in the world cup.
The line that I lack compassion to what is possible is also hilarious, and shows your inability to read or talk sense. When you get the "he had to hit the target" posts, I point out how ridiculous they are and that even the best players miss very very often. I'm the only one to point out that in any given second anything can happen and I'm never critical of someone just because he misses a few sitters in a single or even a few games, but when a player misses LOADS of chances EVERY game, it's not compassion that is needed or knowing what can happen in any given moment, it's seeing the player isn't good enough.
I'm the LEAST reactive to a given game on the entire forum ffs, so to even say that shows what little sense you make. Your arguments are contradictory, and you make these claims that are completely absurd. I'm the single most understanding player in terms of missing a few chances in one game where everyone else on here jumps down a players throat.
