We stand little chance at Chelsea in all honesty so id rather he played this weekend and Carrick/Blind combo next
 
Probably. I'd imagine you really do what's required to help recovery after every game and training session once you've had an injury like he has.
Yep, lots of professionals take ice baths straight after matches to help stop swelling in joints. Probably on Physio's orders to help keep his knee strong to ice it straight after games.
 
Would expect Fletcher to provide cover for Herrera if the latter isn't 100% for WBA; although might LVG use that game as an opportunity to pair Carrick and Blind with a view to some of the tougher games coming up where we might need extra bodies in midfield? (Leaving out RVP or Falcao I guess...)

Are you Moyes in disguise?

I want to see Ander back in the side asap because I think his presence raises our game. If he is fit why rest him? There will be a week to rest between West Brom and Chelsea. Lets play him and get the points on the board, in both matches.

I know one thing, we stand a much a better chance if Herrera is playing at Chelsea. You wana give Carrick his first match back after a long term injure, against Chelsea? Are you mad fs.

I just wouldn't rest Herrera for a very winnable game to play him in a game which we're likely to lose.

Hopefully he can play both, id still include Carrick if fit as his discipline would be useful. I reckon we'll need to counter against Chelsea via Di Maria pushed high

We should play him when he is fully fit, no point in risking him for 3 points at West Bromwich if he could break down again
 
When i was younger and played Football manager, whenever there was a big game and one of my best players were injured i used to "un-injure" them using some hack and injure a non important substitute as i felt bad as i cheated. Right now if i could, i would use that hack on our ander :(

We stand a chance against any team in the league if we can maintain our high performance levels throughout the entire game. Chelsea included.

But he's fit to play?
 
Great news that he's back, he should be played for 50-60 minutes which should see the game out, then bring on Carrick.
 
I think Chelsea will finish above us this year, but I actually have a feeling we will hand them their first loss of the season. I'd rest Herrera for WBA if it will mean he will be fit for Chelsea.

Thanks again @Vato!
You're welcome! :)
 
Don't stand a chance against Chelsea at home? Chelsea are brilliant but they aren't the juggernaught they're being made out to be, we have one of the best big game players in the world in Di Maria, and Falcao bagged four last time he played them, we're going to beat them.

I like your optimism strange, mental person.
 
Well Chelsea's defence isn't the greatest either. We've definitely got a chance at beating them. They're a great team, probably the best in England at the moment, but they have flaws especially defensively. We have players that can exploit that, same with Chelsea in regards to us.
 
If he's still requiring a pain injection to play against West Brom then I wouldn't risk re-injuring himself, more chance of that if he can't feel the pain, I'd rather give him another weeks rest and then give him a pain killing injection (if he needs it at that point) and release him fresh against Chelsea.
 
He needs to play against WBA in order to be in contention for Chelsea. If he is fit, then get him match fit!

Chelsea's defence isn't the greatest, but it sure is better than ours at the moment.
 
I love Ander and he'll be a great boost if he is back fit, but I don't see the point in taking a risk if he's not 100%. I'd hate to see him face a longer spell on the sidelines for aggravating the existing injury.

Agree with this, and even though anything can happen in Football I'm fully expecting us to lose to Chelsea (even though it feels wrong), maybe even be a big margin
