Someone has to be optimistic or the Caf will go into meltdown, I drew the short straw today.
Youve ruined it now, hysterical negativity was the one thing we all had in common.
 
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
Well apparently Herrera might be able to play on Monday albeit with injections, but his ribs are healing well and barring any setbacks against West Brom he should be fit enough for Chelsea. To early for Carrick to start against Chelsea imo, plus i don't think LVG would even consider him anyway. We could see the return of 352 against Chelsea, weather thats a good thing or not i dunno. Although the squad still might be working on aspects of it and the fact we'd have a whole week to really get a game plan drilled in with this formation it could be a lot better since we last saw it. Wouldn't hold my breath though.

Thanks again @Vato!

With that attitude, you'd have to consider why Chelsea don't win every game, and we don't beat every single team below us?
Why don't we just forfeit the match? We're obviously going to lose.
 
Wearing a specially designed corset for his rib injury? I thought he was a Basque man.........<ahem>. I'll get my coat. WE need him back regardless.
 
Don't seen an issue at all. If it means he can play without worrying about his rib then go for it.

He can probably move OK, but knocks can still be quite sore weeks after, so a bit of protection won't be a bad thing.
 
West Brom 2:2 Man Utd
I like him and think he's a cracking player but he has this ability to be neither far enough back when required defensively nor far enough forward offensively. Having an off game tonight, too.
 
You can tell he's injured by the lack of slide tackles he's tried tonight. Clearly conscious of the rib being broken. Its arguable that, if the coaching staff knew he wasn't capable of his rull range of motion, they shouldn't have started him.
 
A bit sloppy today in possession and just looks off the pace along with our other forward players (not named Di Maria). A shame that the injury is probably hampering his performances. Story of our season.
 
Far from his best as you could expect with lacking game time and probably playing unfit. What bothers me the most is that I expect Fellaini immidiately when the game resumes.
 
Hopefully his injury didn't get worse by playing today. Was clearly not fit, shouldn't have risked him.
 
Shouldn't have started today probably, clearly backed out of a few challenges and wasn't as energetic as usual because of the rib injury, which to be fair isn't something you can ignore when you tend to get stuck in. Hopefully he'll be 100% for Chelsea as he makes a huge difference, though I hope he plays behind the main striker (falcao alone please, no RvP). His pressing and energy will be vital for that game, especially if we have more defensive solidity in Carrick and Blind behind them.
 
He better be fit for Chelsea, we're going to need him.

It was almost shocking how average he was today.
 
Really just hope he's fine for the Chelsea match. His grittiness to deal with Fabregas will be mandatory to take anything from the game.
 
Man Utd midfielder Herrera to miss Chelsea clash

Ander Herrera may be forced out of Manchester United’s clash with Chelsea on the weekend.

The 25-year-old was substituted at half-time of the 2-2 draw with West Bromwich at The Hawthorns on Monday night, after feeling pain in his rib.

The midfielder broke his rib against West Ham on 27 September and was initially ruled out for six weeks, but made a speedy recovery aided by the use of a specially designed corset.


Well that backfired.

I was dreading hearing that when he was substituted at half time.

If Carrick was match fit we could have afforded to give the lad the full six weeks to recover, now it may have backfired.
 
Hopefully Di Maria starts then. We're missing Rooney and Herrera. Carrick has got to start. Carrick and Blind hopefully.

The diagnosis was six weeks, we should have let him have the rest. We may well lose him for longer now. At least he's the best in training, apparently:

 
He may have had a niggling injury, but I think he was taken off because he clearly wasn't up to speed and Van Gaal thought Fellaini could bring something else to the mix. He kept chatting with him beginning at the 30 minute mark so I think he'd decided on the substitution early on.

He wasn't THAT bad (I think Van Gaal said it quite well in his post match interview, it was neither good nor bad), but it might have been one of his worst performances for us. I think he'll start against Chelsea though.
 
Seems that we didn't manage to get him properly healed for the game, bloody shame. Maybe he should've been rested against WBA instead of playing with that stupid corset?

He's been our best player untill that game imo, feels a bit like somebody cut one of our legs off.
 
So he's deemed fit enough to start last week, then a week later he's not.

Someone's fecked up here.
 
Big loss for us today. Would have played him instead of Mata if he was fit.
