Rather see a half fit Rashford than a fully fit Fellaini as our focal point up front.
Martial + Rooney injured, Zlatan suspended - RASHFORD STARTS
- Thread starter MyOnlySolskjaer
- Start date
Rooney injured by Jones. Couldn't make it up 
Time for a Smashley Young special
Bet the BBC are gutted. Thought they were on to a winner with Mourinho's United coming back to the Bridge on a long unbeaten run and a point to prove after the big loss. Only to realise that after the Chelsea-Man City debacle where Pellegrini rested nearly everyone in the cup before, we've been put into a forced position on par with that debacle.
At least Martin Keown and all the plastic Chelsea fans will have fun tomorrow night.

In Van Gaal's first season we went to Arsenal and ended up with a make-shift defense and somehow came away with the win so who knows.
This is definitely a containment job and then hope to nick one at their end.
The key word there is, ARSENAL! Frail, embarrassing ARSENAL!
It's going to be fun watching us tomorrow trying to park our big red bus
Get the bus out lads.
Beep beep.
Just put Fellaini's hair in front of Courtois

Good idea!
I'm sorry, I must be in shock because I can't stop laughing about this. Typical shit that would happen to us
Pack MF. Smash and grab. Park Bus.
This genuinely reads like an April Fools, especially the bit about Rooney and Jones. This is the only game this season where I predicted us to lose in the match day thread, it's sadly looking more certain than ever. If Jose plays Fellaini up top we might as well just forfeit, a big lump with no mobility or pace is perfect for that back 3, you need pace and movement to try and unsettle them.
I know, twas an error.
Weird, my first thought was pop the big man up front.
What's up with Martial anyone??
Surely this is a mourinho speciality? Remember the team he took to Anfield for slip game?
I think a couple more players might get injured or ill before kickoff on Monday.
Spot on.
Didn't Spain win Euro 2012 by playing most of their games without a striker? Just a false 9?
I'd rather not use Fellaini though, Mata or Mkhitaryan please.
Tomorrow suddenly just got very interesting.

We're not going to stick Fellaini up front, a lone striker you need either an outlet that can hold the ball up and bring others in or who can chase the ball over the top.
Not particularly, what was it?
Good question! what's been up with him most of the year?
Demba Ba up front plus a hard working midfield. Got the job done

Mou played against Moyes' Man Utd without a recognised striker too. That game was shit.
We're going to win. I'm more convinced than ever now. Fellaini with a brace, an assist and a late red card. You saw it here first!
I think i would be happy with anything but Fellaini up top. That would be stupid.
We are fecked.
It was reported we were delayed going to Stockport Station, maybe this is why. That they found out Rashford was ill. Did Martial pick up that injury in his short spell on Thursday or in training?
I'd rather see Sir Bobby or Fergie step in, both had immense goalscoring records and I'd reckon Charlton can still hit the ball stronger and more accurate than Fellaini
Hasn't Wayne become a bit fragile recently?
As long as they're ready for Rostov I don't care.
Except for Rooney.

Odd how Phil Jones gets into a collision and doesn't come out injured.
Rooney is at home learning Chinese or eating one.
