Herrera is injured

I think he missed the Villa game because of illness.

 

[Raw]

feck sake, seriously?

His illness turned out to be an injury, he confirmed it on Instagram and LVG said the same.

 

[Amar__]

Am waiting for Steve Bates to leak parts go the team and the formation, nothing on his twitter feed yet. I'd really like to know who's feeding him news, think it is Giggsy.

Why the feck would he do that? How people come to these conclusions is beyond me.

 

[The Taurean]

Rojo is back?

 

[Anduin]

Why the feck would he do that? How people come to these conclusions is beyond me.

Because of the timing when it all started (US tour), his record (100% correct) which points either to a player or someone from the coaching staff. Last season when McDonnell leaked the team it probably was Rio (some sources reckoned Welbeck and Cleverley were involved too), but they are all gone.

It's like 2° right now. Butter is solid at that temperature. Your dream doesn't make any sense.

He means the movement and passing was like a fridge-friendly plant-derived butter substitute.

Some players must be rested today.
Personally hope to see RVP take a bench seat today and rested for Tottenham.Same with Mata,only use them today if needed.

It turned out to be a "small muscle injury" LVG also said in the presser before the Newcastle game that non of the injured players would be back today.

Inevitable that there'll be a few players rested with rotation in mind as there are two games in three days. Also inevitable that people will moan whatever the lineup saying "why is x not starting/playing?"

 

[Samid]

Seriously don't know what to go for in the lineup game. Just hope I don't lose my position on page 1 of the leaderboard.

His record isn't 100%. Look at his timeline. He gets a lot of the surprises right but also gets some things wrong. No Lingard in the Swansea game for instance.

Rio will still have contacts inside United; unfair to pin that on Giggs, I doubt he'd be that stupid.

 

[Anduin]

I don't want to blame Giggs directly, just guessing. Either way I don't see why anyone would leak the team news every fecking time...

 

[tenpoless]

Can't watch this one now I'm at grandma's house and no local television channel is showing this one.
Will be checking this thread for the updates, I hope We Win!

I don't really see why it matters 30 mins - 1hr before it's announced anyway. Perhaps it's a case of winning some favours within the media?

There's more chance of you being on a leaked teamsheet than Giggs being the one leaking anything.

 

[pacifictheme]

Team should be announced about 1.30 right?

 

[Gandalf Greyhame]

Brainfades and Panic Attacks. Masterpiece. Worthy of a Novel title, an epitaph, or perhaps a second album for an indie rock band.

Why clear it to touch or pass it ahead,
When we can have a brainfade instead?
Why hoof it away or pass it back?
It's just not as fun as a panic attack!

 

[Tincanalley]

Team lineup is an important strategic consideration. I am sure LVG and the club hierarchy would be mightily pissed if leaks in that regard were usurping the official club announcements. At least it would be seriously unprofessional at worst it would be handing a potential advantage to opponents.

 

[Sassy Colin]

I'd quite like to see Rafael in the wingback role, is he fit?

 

[Blue always red]

Have a feeling this will be a really boring game to watch. Hope they prove me wrong.

 

[Browniee]

Thought it was an hour before games?

 

[theyneverlearn]

Team should be announced about 1.30 right?

2pm.

 

[JPRouve]

Team should be announced about 1.30 right?

Probably between 2pm and 2:15.

 

[Chrissypop]

Anything suggesting Falcao will start?

 

[Nick 0208 Ldn]

LVG's programme notes have just been receiving a modest amount of criticism on Talksport, with the inference being that the Xmas/New Year schedule has come as a bit of a shock to the manager, and what he's said about 48 hour recovery periods is little different from the norm.

What's this blokes Twitter then ?

You want to stop listening to that Talkshite Nick. Since I changed my job, I rarely listen to it now, it's changed my life.

I've just tuned in for any team news rumours, as the station is increasingly insufferable year-on-year i do agree. Besides which, 5live is covering today's racing.

Just started reading team new and had a mini heart attack when I seen fletcher starting again. Then realised it was last weeks team lol

 

[Raoul]

 

[Sassy Colin]

No Di Maria?

What now?

 

[Dunk]

Di Maria on the bench? Hopefully he doesn't get subbed on and shifted to the wing.
