Everton's club's record £15million signing has been booked eight times this season, including in each of his last three matches. Now the club is considering speaking with referees' chief Keith Hackett if they feel Fellaini is being unfairly treated.
The Toffees feel on a number of occasions the bookings have been more to do with Fellaini being a large, imposing figure.
"He (Fellaini) has said himself he is disappointed with how many bookings he has received, which he has put down to inexperience," commented assistant-manager Steve Round on the 21-year-old Belgian.
"We have also put it down to the fact he is quite recognisable.
"I think the officials and referees maybe need to take a look at him and book him on merit, rather than because it's big Fellaini.
"There was a recent game where one particular opposition player made six consecutive fouls, yet wasn't booked. Fellaini made one foul and was booked.
"That situation was pointed out to the officials, and they took it on board.
"Hopefully we'll start seeing him get fair treatment and booked on incidents rather than reputation.
"It's possibly something we might have to raise with the PGMOL (Professional Game Match Officials Limited). We will see how it goes.
"At the minute I don't think it's a big issue, but we need to be careful because with his size and stature, he is the first person people look at. I've seen it before with other players.
"If he makes a foul that's worthy of a booking, then fair play, you book him.
"But we need to make sure it's not the first one in every game just because it is Fellaini."
