Re: Mancie's Thread - The Road to the Titles

Moyes is playing Fellaini in the players preferred defensive midfield role.
However, he is also playing Carrick alongside him which leaves a lack of central midfielders breaking forward into the box.
Moyes didn't have the same tactic at Everton, he always had a holding midfielder but he also encouraged the other 2 central midfielders (Everton 95% of the time played 4-5-1) to get forward in support.
At Everton, Fellaini was used far more as an attacking central midfielder, similar to the way Tim Cahill was used by Moyes, filling the space behind the striker and acting as a target man.
But this is not his preferred position, and while he is effective as a supporting midfielder, he is best IMO in a box to box player.

I cant believe Kagawa has not been used more.
