F*cking typical - Blind has been one of our best players this season.

Hope he can come back ASAP and put in the same performances after his injury.

We're screwed for top 4 if these injuries carry on.
 
feck this shit... so typical, though.

Blind is such an important piece to our puzzle in linking our defense to attack so this is troubling. I hope Carrick can do the job meanwhile.
 
We're so seriously f*cked for the Arsenal game that it's not even funny. Right now our line up is looking like this...

Lindegaard, Valencia, McNair, Blackett, Shaw, Fellaini, Fletcher, Mata, Di Maria, Rooney, Van Persie.

Actually, I guess it could be worse. We're just going to have score 3-4 goals to win. And who knows, with the carousel that has been our back 4 this year, this group might do the best yet! Fletcher starting a game scared the sh*t out of me though. Especially with Fellaini. What a frightening midfield pairing that is! :lol: Hopefully Herrera will play instead of Fletcher!

Why no Herrera in that lineup? And is Carrick injured? If so, then things are looking very bad...

Add in De Gea, Rafael, Falcao and Smalling who all should be fit, possibly Carrick?

It's a good job that we bought some players this summer that's all I can say otherwise we would be in danger of getting a hiding in our next game. As it stands things still don't actually look catastrophic by any means just yet. As long as Herrera plays. I don't think I could physically stomach watching Fletcher & Fellaini for 90 minutes.

Up front we've still got all the firepower needed to bang in a few goals. But we're still waiting see those three click together because right now it's just not happening and that's what I'm worried about for the Arsenal game. Not just our defence, but our lack of goals.

De Gea won't be fit. There's no way Falcao will start or even feature at all by the sounds of the concerns over his knee. Carrick maybe but it's not looking likely right now. Rafael has returned to training. But he can damage himself just by being awake so who knows.

Smalling is back, he only got a 1 game ban.
 
I guess LVG should sign at least 10 bloody players last summer to have a normally functioning football team.

What a farce.
 
Midfield of Carrick, and Herrera is a better bet than Blind, and Fellaini, so could see an upturn in our performances if we can get and keep those two fit.
 
Fecking knee injury. I fear he comes back as Owen Hargreaves...
On a more positive note, I'm looking forward to having Carrick back in his role. He offers us a lot more penetration in his passing, which is what we've been lacking lately.

umm, Smalling, Herrera are fit. Rafael is back in training already for few days now and Carrick can be fit too. Evans can be fit I guess but I am assuming Smalling will start ahead of him.

Arsenal's defense itself is hardly in good shape and with Koscielny and Debuchy out, they have their own worries, so yeah it might end up a high scoring game and who defends less badly.

More like
Lindegaard, Rafa, Smalling, Blackett, Shaw, Carrick, Herrara, DiMaria, Mata, Rooney, Van Persie.
That is a very solid line up, not sure what all the panic is about. It's not like we play more than 1 game a week.

I don't trust Smalling after the derby. Everyone can make a mistake. But not 2 completey boneheaded decisions in 5 minutes. And I'm more worried about our defence because of our attack. We're not scoring enough goals and our star front 3 just haven't clicked yet so it's not like we can rely on our attack for goals. It could be worse though, as I said, at least we signed some players this summer.
 
Some reports saying 4-6 weeks while others claim he's out for the entire season. That's a pretty significant leap.

PS: Feck off. What the feck is going on with us?

It was a derby so emotions were flying high and rational decision making was not there. It's not like that boneheaded decision making is part of Smalling's game usually, so he will definitely come out stronger after that. Arsenal are wank in defence, all we will have to do is have a go at them and tear them to shreds. Our midfield will take care of the defending against them. Also, reports say DDG will be good for this game anyway, so that's reassuring.
 
We're truly cursed. :mad:

I reckon Daley was set to play left centre back against Arsenal too. I guess it'll now be Blackett, possibly partnered with Smalling at right centre back.
 
I'll take 4-6 weeks after hearing rumours of "season ending" etc, I watched the game, it didn't seem so bad, he even played on with it for a short while so season ending seemed a bit odd to hear.
 
I genuinely fecking give up. The worst bit about all these injuries is that they won't be mentioned by the media when talking of Van Gaal "struggling".

Of course he's fecking struggling he doesn't have a squad to pick from.
 
Gutted for him, he had settled into the Utd team and was playing well...then this happens, such a shame for him.

I hate knee! injuries the most!

Exactly! Everyone on the cafe should take note too, expectations should be lowered in all honesty.

It just isn't possible to pick a consistent team which is a big deal, especially when you are trying to incorporate new tactical ideas. It's like a bloody sunday league situation at the moment, where you just wait and see who didn't get too shitfaced the night before and actually shows up.
 
That is what you get for playing CB for United...

Hope he will recover soon, it is a shame for United and for him because he was one of the most consistent performers on the pitch and the first name in the starting 11. I just hope he will find the same form after the injury.

:lol: It's true though!
 
Welp...that's all I can say here.

He's been so important for this season. I just hope that he isn't that dearly missed in the next few matches.
