Have to practice the celebrations as well. Sliding on your knees, trying to demolish a dugout.
Your life must be filled with sadness.
There's alway one who has to piss on your chips isn't there?
he's a very good player. will be missed.
Celebration or not, what kind of human wouldn't want to tickle Herrera's bum.
Hopefully just a tweak of the hamstring. Knowing our luck it'll be a grade three tear.
Paul Scholes?
Aye, him as well.
Yeah both Mata and Herrera were sublime again today. Finally Rooney dropped to let these two amazing players not be constrained by the oaf.
We barely won.
To be fair, Mata didn't play well. Ander was probably doing everying Mata should be doing and when he Ander went off, Juan didn't pick up the baton.

There again if he had brought Pereira on instead on Rojo it might have helped.
That's something I can live with.
He seemed to be moving fine during his celebration. 
Hopefully it's just a strain and he'll only miss a couple of games.
Hopefully it's just a strain and he'll only miss a couple of games.And that's the issue. Herrera and Mata like to play in the same spaces, it doesn't make sense from a positional standpoint to play them together. The heat maps shows two blobs right next to each other usually.
I like them both, theyre just too similar.
At the moment I would play Herrera, except he is injured. Mata looks jaded but looks like he will have to play.
Ander is love
Ander is life
Ander is life
Ando is large.
I hope we tie him to a long contract....before Real turn his head.
Fans enjoying seeing passion from their players. Shocking stuff.
He's a Basque, not likely.
There are better players at Real as well.
Isco and James Rodriguez are much better players. He wouldn't get near their team.
Thought he played well saturday and we suffered greatly when he went off. Hopefully he'll be back soon. I like a midfield of him and schmidfield.
Xabi Alonso and Aitor Karanka are also Basque and they played for Real Madrid.
Okay, point taken
Is there any news on his injury?
No yet but he didn't train.
Even a minor hamstring injury should keep him out more than a couple of days.
He is an irreplaceable player for our squad this season, along with Martial and De Gea, even if Van Gaal doesn't see it. We are so slow and tumescent in the middle without him and he can take minutes away that Rooney, Fellaini and even Schweinsteiger (who is playing way too many and often) shouldn't be playing.
What I like about Ander is that he is always on the move, trying to make runs. It is then up to someone to pick him out. The Liverpool game is a good example of that. He didn't have a great game, but made the run and Michael Carrick picked him out with a peach of a ball resulting in a penalty. Last night everyone was too static. There has to be movement. The players are there and are better than they are showing. It said something when we resorted to bringing on Fellaini and Young. Then leaving Mata until 6-7 minutes from the end, what was the point of that.
Is he (and maybe Martial) the only player who shows some off the ball movement and that brings some urgency in our play...
Yes, but even they get brainwashed into playing statues sometimes. Just let the players go out and enjoy doing their job. I am not sure they are at this minute.
They certainly are not. We've been too static since LVG took over and tonight it showed once more that it's a huge weakness. No wonder did LVG not start Herrera since he's always on the move
We miss Herrera's dynamism and quick passing when he's absent. Against Everton his quick through ball released Rooney, against West Brom he plays a quick through ball Martial runs onto it and we get a penalty. Last night, especially in the first half, we were crying out for that quick through ball and nobody was playing it. Herrera may not be the best midfielder in the world, but he's the best we've got at a) spotting the run and b) playing the defence splitting pass. When you see how Rooney or Fellaini play at number 10 its impossible not to notice the massive difference when Herrera's there.
I wish he would leave for the sake of his career. He is being completely wasted here. I can understand not playing him if the team were firing on all cylinders without him in it but we're not.
He's injured, I think he might have played last night. I actually don't think Martial was ready. Rooney would have played up front or Memphis like on Saturday. Mata is out of form, maybe due to tiredness. The injuries forced his hand last night.
I feel for the lad. For me he is our best midfielder and would be one of the first names on the teamsheet. He has his off days, but who doesn't?
Will be gutted ifnwe lose him in the summer.
Such lazy/shite journalism to not even realise he was injured.
What a brilliantly written crap story. Its truly inception-esque. The express has an article quoting reports and then quotes the Daily Star in the next paragraph. Its rubbish within rubbish
