Maybe Mourinho is making Ibra play so much because of how he sets up his training. Ibra said:

Wonder if that basically means he doesn't train much. Gets his fitness from games instead

 

[pauldyson1uk]

According to the Caf, he'll be out for somewhere between 3 days and 9 months.

about right.

Hamstring injury by the looks of things. Hard to say.

Cheers , hopefully just a tweek and will be fine from Sunday.

 

[Šjor Bepo]

Surely subbing Martial on is risking key players?

Lingard on if anyone.

yap, Lingard would be the best option forgot about him

 

[U99ted]

We must win the Europa league this year. It's the only trophy missing in our trophy cabinet, and go to champions league in style. Would also put us in UEFA super cup game next year. Spurs Roma Villarreal seems our only competition. An usually spurs bottle it in Europe.

They lost 4-0 at home to Roma.

 

[Shimo]

Solid and professional first half. Be nice if Zlatan and Pogba do get taken off early to have them ready for Sunday.

Don't normally care for all the criticism that Fellaini gets but, today would have been perfect for him to try and impress but, he has been anonymous - hardly involved especially when we are controlling the game, should be working harder to get on the ball.

 

[Peanut Butter]

about right.

Cheers , hopefully just a tweek and will be fine from Sunday.

Yeah it doesn't look too serious mate - Jose took him off as a pre caution. He was walking off pretty ok.

Villarreal are all but out

Just online,See we are a goal up,How have we been playing ?

Hasn't Zlatan worked on a slightly different programme to that of his teammates for a few seasons now? Works independently with Dario Fort on his fitness.

 

[simonhch]

But what is it exactly? Massage?

Not quite. For example, they'll apply a lot of pressure at certain points of the muscle, and then move the muscle through its full range of motion to strip the fibrotic tissue away.

At the end my therapist uses Graston tools to scrape the muscles even more. You often end up with some savage bruises.

For injuries that aren't healing I've had dry needling done too. Which is basically very thin needles inserted in to the specific injury point. They don't cause damage but they do force a surge in blood flow and a healing response in a localized area.

 

[Loublaze]

Their leftback Kevin Malcuit has pace for days. Can't believe he beat Mkhitaryan to that through ball from Pogba. That was probably the run that did his hamstring

 

[Raw]

Just online,See we are a goal up,How have we been playing ?

We've done enough, we're just seeing out the rest of the game now.

 

[Mark Pawelek]

How bad did the injury for Mihki look, bad enough to keep in out of Sunday?

Looked precautionary. No winches on Mihki's face. He was running just before without pulling up. They need 5 goals to go through. Only 4 puts us through on away goals.

 

[simonhch]

Just online,See we are a goal up,How have we been playing ?

Mainly with our feet, although also with our heads when necessary.

 

[Sassy Colin]

Looks like 7-10 days injury for Mkhi.

Why didn't Mourinho use another player? We were up for 3-0 ffs.

Badly decision by Mou. I could understand it, if we were only 1 or 2-0 up, but three goals?

And presumably if he had the same injury on Sunday, that would be alright?

 

[Eriku]

Maybe man, fair enough but no complaining if he misses the final and we miss him. I thought our lineup was too strong. Taking things serious when we are only a goal up is one thing, playing our strongest team 3.0 up from the first leg is another. Should have played bastian, Tfm, Darmian and jesse. It's not using your squad, poor rotation. We need to be fresh for this final, shouldn't underestimate Southampton.

Feel free to bookmark this and give me a told you so on Sunday if your fears are confirmed, but I'm pretty confident we'll have a strong line-up, and that Mkhi went off as a precaution and an away match in the Europa League can go tits up if the opposition get the feel that we're there for the taking. I'm trusting José to get the balance right.

 

[SqueakyWeasel]

On which page is the goal?

Check threadmarks … it's not a pants feature

 

[Man of Steel]

Maybe that's why our injury record is so much better this year. Jose has had them kicking trees, and beating shins with sticks. My old instructor said he'd sit on the couch flicking himself in the nuts, and over time became impervious to groin strikes.

mental

Sods law. Impervious to groin strikes but cancer of the nuts from long term self abuse.. He probably never got hit in the groin again ever, except by himself

"Kick the tree...Your Brother, remember..."

 

[FreakyJim]

For a giant Fellaini loses a ridiculous amount of headers.

 

[Sassy Colin]

Can't remember the last time we so completely controlled a game without getting out of 2nd gear.

I jinxed it now

 

[Sassy Colin]

For a giant Fellaini loses a ridiculous amount of headers.

If only he used his chest

 

[Djemba-Djemba]

For a giant Fellaini loses a ridiculous amount of headers.

If he has to jump to win a header he loses.

The only headers he wins are the ones where he can plant his feet.

It's bizarre

 

[Mihai]

Looks painful indeed

 

[MullerUtd]

How long will be Mhiki be out for? So annoyed. We have one of our most important games of the season on Sunday and our best player is out.

 

[Ban]

Few months.

About 3 years

If we buy the in game editor we can remove all injuries just before the Final. 100% Match Fitness, 0% Jadedness... Oh and remove all unhappiness too.

Crouch isn't that great in the air either. Harder to leap onto the header i guess

Their RB is rapid

 

[CM]

This Malcuit fella is having quite a game for them

 

[Tom Van Persie]

I like the look of Malcuit. He's fecking rapid.

Cheers. I tried dry needling a few times. Was painful as shit when they hit the cramped up injured muscle, noticed some improvement in the next couple of days, but not in the long run.

I've had tight, easily tweaked hamstrings with recurring injuries for 7 years now if you can believe it. Tried regular massage, stretching, strengthening exercises and gradually increased jogging/running and lots of yoga. But always made annoyingly slow progress and suffered setbacks. Sort of gave up on it in the end :/

 

[Sassy Colin]

Delightful play from Bailly

 

[Trizy]

Baily is so fecking cool

He's already been named an assistant.

Not so delightful

Better not get anything from this – no contact whatsoever!

 

[prtk0811]

I am all up for Leicester tonit vs Sevilla. Hope they prove something by getting in next round.
