They've got a few guys back from injury now, including Fellaini. He might not start that many games for them, but Van Gaal's always gone with Fellaini against us whenever he's available (he's started all 4 games against us in 2 seasons). Van Gaal will bring his team here to choke the life out of us and also try to capitalize on our susceptibility at LB and set pieces.
I never like to advocate this, but I will every time Fellaini plays against us - our guys need to be street-smart and exaggerate every contact he makes against them, Henderson and gang has to crowd and pester the referee, and our fans need to rev up the noise and put pressure on the officials to try and get him sent off against us at last.
He has time and again escaped red cards against us these 2 seasons for blatant elbows and stamps. It's incredible. So no, he's going off this time, for sure. If we need to cheat to get him off, we should, because payback at the worst moments is the bitch that birthed a bitch.
So the next time his elbow gently caresses Henderson's Nivea-enriched cheek, or lice from his arid afro migrate to Can's Brylcreem utopia, or the studs of his boots so much as make a divot 2 inches from Sakho's ballerina feet, he's off. The guys are all going down like they were hit by a line of trucks (no, not one truck, that won't do - it has to be like 15 trucks, one after another), stung by a thousand and one killer bees, or mauled in a corner by a gang of honey badgers (hat tip to whoever voted for badgers as the most awesome animal). We're so going to get him sent off at last.
So, stop being nice. Be angry that he's never been justly dealt with in the Premier League. It's time to be very, very spiteful and dementedly vicious. And I hope Klopp goes so ballistic he does cartwheels in front of Van Gaal when Fellaini troops past on his way to the dressing room.
