Looked like concussion. Next PL game is after 10 days so hopefully he will be OK by then. Carrick can be back by then too just in case.
Hope he's ok, I guess we can, ekhm, rest him against Preston.
He looks like he was just dazed. Im sure he will be ok for Swansea Game.
Thought I saw him say the word "dizzy" when the physio was going over to him. Probably a concussion, hopefully back for the next PL game. Fellaini to fill in against Preston probably. Unless Rooney impressed as the DM...
Preston 1:3 Man Utd
His worst performance for us so far?
He's still been pretty good, Preston have had nothing centrally, moved the ball quickly and put in some good tackles.
Not the best today. To many misplaced passes.
One to forget for him.
Not his greatest performance, didn't move around as he usually does maybe because of the concussion But one to forget for him.
His passing was all over the place. Couldn't find a forward no matter what he tried.
Been a real fan of his so far but tonight was definitely one to forget for him.
Wasn't terrible, maybe his head thing in the last game effected him
Had many misplaced passes than normally, worst game so far in a United shirt. Maybe something to do with his concussion, expect him to raise his game again.
Got on my nerves tonight, but it was probably just one of those nights, a one off. He's been very good this season.
Yes we missed the calming defensive influence of Carrick tonight. Blind will learn from this.
I may take some flack for this but I think he hasn't been too great in the last few games not just tonight. I'm sure he will regain the excellent form he has showed in the next few weeks though.
Did his job, nothing spectacular like a distance goal or a lob assist but decent performance regardless.
A Blind - Herrera +1 midfield is one for the future.

I thought he was solid and passed it pretty well (cue someone with a graph of his terrible pass stats) but I think he need someone in there beside him.
Did his defensive work almost flawlessly, his passing was a bit off but its way too negative to put another defensive/deep lying player in there.
I still prefer Carrick for doing the same defensive work Blind does, but having a more penetrative passing range.
I don't mean another DM, I just mean a midfield partner who he can play some short passes with, a lot of the time his options all seem too far away from him. I thought his game picked up when Ander moved central and they started playing off each other.
Ah OK, in that case agreed.
Saw the ball a lot tonight. Thought it was just an average performance. Maybe poor, but I personally wouldn't say it. I think our standards of him are a bit high given how tidy he's been for us.
Arguably that's the worst Blind has played for us. Some of his passing and positioning was all over the place. From the time he tripped over himself receiving a simple pass in the first half you could tell he was going to be shaky. Very surprised to see him go to pieces so easily.

he isn't much convincing even at defending, always looks like lacking yard of pace and couple of pounds of wight or muscles. Still prefer him to Carrick. So bringing in a defensive midfielder is pretty much a must

Thought his passing especially was really poor.

Have you been waiting all season to post this?they said Pirlo
I've been watching him since u21s so I'm not getting carried away by no means like some people here. Last defensive minded midfielder we bought was in 2007 (Hargo)so I get the buzz around him. He will be another consistent and good player like Carrick for us but we surely need another one or two players for competition which is currently none..
He's having a bit of a blip over the last few games actually. Tonight was part of a recent trend. Been a factor in our recent flat performances too, as he's arguably our most natural CM with Carrick out. When he's off form our whole midfield looks even shiter than normal.
His passing radar was off tonight and he played a lot of aimless balls when there wasn't much on
My biggest problem with him is his lack of height which hinders us when teams play it long against us, he's unable to shield the centre backs and offer protection - he'd be better with Carrick alongside him if we can keep them both fit

Wasn't great tonight. Played it too safe and give away some simple passes.
The disappointment here shows how much hope we've invested in him already. He simply can't afford to have an off-night with our midfield in the flux it is.
His first bad game, cant play well every game.
Would be nice , but we all have off days.

Pretty crap from him today, I'm hoping it's just him feeling the effects of the concussion he had against Burnley.
I really rate and like Blind, but I'm unsure if he's good enough to be the main man in a top sides midfield as part of a two.
He's not physical enough nor does he have enough of a presence that most defensive midfielders have, nor does he have anywhere near the passing range the top holding midfielders have.
Whilst I think he's improved us, and he should be given time to improve and grow into our midfield, I wouldn't be surprised if LvG brings in at least one more starting midfielder in the summer.

He sees the ball more than any other player on the pitch.
Interesting......
many many defenders have done the same thing , did not cost us a goal, don't see why it is interesting ?
Concussion>?
