    Of course he said he wouldn't play, would Klopp play someone who was unfit? well probably yeah if you think that's the right way to go.

    Nope, we have Carrick,Blind and Schneiderlin to fill that gap, Fellaini for a laugh.
    We could even play Rooney there :bandit:

    Jose Mourinho on brink of consecutive worst-ever Premier League starts for Chelsea and Manchester United

    Jose Mourinho could have the unenviable record of leading two different teams to their worst-ever Premier League starts in consecutive seasons this weekend.

    Should Manchester United suffer defeat at Swansea City on Sunday, the club will have recorded its lowest-ever Premier League points total from 11 games.

    Even a draw will mean United have equalled their lowest-ever total.

    United are currently on 15 points from 10 matches, having won just four Premier League games this season.

    Their previous lowest points total from 11 matches was 16 in the 2014/15 season under Louis van Gaal.

    Of course you are not worried, according to your warped logic the teams above utd have dropped so many points in the last seven games that utd are only just behind.
    This is obviously taking no account of the fact that utd have dropped as many points in the last three games as liverpool, arsenal, city have dropped all season.

    ignorance is bliss indeed!

    maybe you would be more worried if you knew that after 11 games that season utd were only 2 points away from the top 4. You might also want to factor in that three of the teams above utd at that stage were southampton, west ham and swansea, all teams that were rightly predicted to have fairly dramatic drops in form.

    You don't want to peak too soon with your worrying, best to plan for a gradual increase until week 30, after which you can give up and start planning for next season <ok>

    Obviously but when does that worrying start? lets look a bit shorter term at utds next six league games;

    Sun 6 Nov 15:00 Swansea Vs Man Utd * after Thursday europey game Sat 19 Nov 12:30 Man Utd vs Arsenal
    Sun 27 Nov 16:30 Man Utd vs West Ham
    Sun 4 Dec 16:00 Everton vs Man Utd * after Wednesday EFL game
    Sun 11 Dec 14:15 Man Utd vs Tottenham * after Thursday europey game
    Wed 14 Dec 20:00 Crystal Palace vs Man Utd

    In all honesty given utds form, how many points do you think utd will get from those 18?

    You mean as opposed to teams like Liverpool, Spurs and Arsenal who for years and years have built up their supporters hopes during the first 30 games only to collapse again at the end :emoticon-0100-smile

    I have seen these 3 teams flatter to deceive so, so many times that I no longer bother about them until the last 3 games of the season. You must have seen it yourself or at least in the charts,

    You do realise that in the season we are talking about spurs and Liverpool were behind utd after 11 games and finished that way, arse were ahead and finished ahead.

    so just out of interest, how many times in recent years have arse, spurs and liverpool been ahead of utd after 11 games only for all 3 to finish behind them?

    I never mentioned any particular season, I don't think United won all the last 12 seasons either. Are you saying that United have thwarted every false dawn for Arsenal, Liverpool and Spurs?
    My point was that we have all seen seasons like this so many times and can more or less predict the ending (though Arsenal look good enough to break the cycle), even last year with United and Chelsea well out of it you all managed to let Leicester win.
