    With the injuries Utd have I don't see them winning this and I don't see Jose going for a draw. 3-0 Chelsea

    **** sake, ridiculous to lose so many players.
    Is Shaw fit or are we looking for a left back also?

    I can see him reverting back to the Rooney in midfield scenario, not good. Be more than happy with a draw now, the whole shape of the team is compromised by these injuries.

    The run was too good to be true.

    We've got to attack as defending could be counterproductive. Defence and midfield really badly affected.

    That's the best endorsement we could get. The turd documenting our failure but ended up showing how much we've improved and an RS wumming about 5 difficult matches ended up documenting 4 out of 4. <laugh>

    Pack the midfield with 5. Play shaw at LB and rooney up front.

    Valencia----Smalling----Blackett----Shaw
    Mata---Herrera---Fellaini--Young---ADM
    -------------------------Rooney

    Stifle the midfield and play on the counter.

    Meh...we were always going to be vulnerable anyway with Hazard up against Valencia <doh>

    But I thought your bench was so strong it does not matter?

    No excuse. We won all our games with Matic and Mikel out. Hilarious how your board's confidence drained in seconds over a few injuries.

    LVG is a genius, he will deliver

    He may well do. He's surprised us most of the season especially when we have had so many injuries. If he does pull this rabbit out of the bag, I'll admit he's a great manager.

    A bit harsh on me fella. <laugh>


    I just think that the injuries will cost you especially Blind and Carrick.

    In normal circumstances it would but losing both Carrick and Blind is a blow. I can see some weird combination in midfield tomorrow. Good luck to anyone trying to guess <laugh>

    Well you can't be more negative than you were at old Trafford the season. Qpr showed more ambition. Or under moyes for both games last season. Can we borrow the bus?

    You own the bus! The wheels have been removed and it's permanently anchored in front of your goal.

    One thing's for sure, he sees Van Gaal as superior. Wasn't he LVG's boot man at Barcelona?

    He's only got to look at the league table for the answer to that one. :angel:
