Missed the game.
Saw Fellaini scored in the first half.
My first thought was someone got injured.

The amount of injuries we get is insane.
I don't think so. He was the one who asked to be subbed. He tried to move on his leg some seconds then immediately called to be treated and subbed.
Hopefully it's just a strain.
Hes made a good start to the season. Such a shame to happen. Hope hes back sooner rather than later as our midfield is a total different beast with him in. We dont have any other players who can offer what he does.
We will change it around of course and hopefully cope, but also hope when he returns were still in a strong position.

He walked off the field without much trouble though. Anyone with a serious hamstring injury isn't going to do so. He's got a pull, no doubt, but it doesn't look that bad to me. The key now in the next 24 hours is to get any swelling down, and get a scan done. First 24 hrs, immobilization is probably precautionary. Seen players leave in a protective boot when they really have a minor knock. So I wouldn't be all doom and gloom yet. Of course with a hamstring, minimum is usually about 3 weeks. Which takes us to the international break. But they can easily be 6-12 weeks depending on severity. For what it's worth, I had a 3 month lay off from a hamstring tear, with very dedicated rehab, and I could barely walk after the initial injury. Pogba didn't look anywhere near that bad.
I didn't think it's a tear also, probably just a muscle strain. Think he'll be about for a 2 weeks at maximum.
I'm not sure how it makes it unlikely to be precautionary.
How is it precautionary, though ? If he had no problems moving there's no need for the crutches. It doesn't mean the injury is serious, agree, but at the same the injury is present.
Anyone else notice that he wasn't exactly moving freely from kick-off?
Jesus that's a bad news... a hamstring can't be good.
I'm recovery from a hamstring injury myself right now - I feel his pain
I hope he came off before the damage got too severe; we can probably cope without him for a short while but longer-term would be a great shame given the quality start he's had this season.

He looked like he was limping coming off the team bus against stoke, he generally doesn't seem to move too easily.
He walked off OK, with a bit of a limp, but he was mobile and looked more pissed off than in pain, so hopefully, it's just a grade 1.
Would be nice to having back, after the international break, for two of the toughest away games, Liverpool and Benfica, October 14th and 18th.
They wont know until a few days. Better safe than sorry i guess.
Its a shame that Perriera just went on loan a week ago. Perfect timing for him to slot in.
He's had hamstring issues before. He was playing with athletic tape for France so obviously he was feeling his hamstring again.
Football managers are crazy risking their players.

Seemed OK, though I never forget when Aguero walked off fine a few years back and ended up being out for 3 months with his. He's a bit more injury prone though.
Shame Pereira is gone. Might miss him, we might not, one thing is for certain, we do have more possibilities to replace him now with Matic as a solid base. Matic-Herrera or Matic-Herrera-Fellaini should be able to do the trick against the upcoming opposition.
He'll be back for Liverpool.
He did make a weirdly pointless run from midfield to the right side a few minutes before getting injured, I was like "please you're gonna get injured, stop this" and it happened moments later. Just to be clear, not saying these 2 situations are linked as I'd have feck all to base that opinion on. I just wish he's stop thinking he's an attacker when playing as a CM.
He wouldnt have played imo
Our next 5 games are Everton, Burton and Crystal Palace at home and Southhampton and CSKA away. I would rather the club didn't take any chances with Pogba in those games as we have all of our harder games still to come. If we can keep him out of the International break, all the better, then he gets four and a half weeks to be sure he is niggle free and ready for Liverpool.
Huge loss. Will miss his passes from deep.
He plays too much football.
Always 90 minutes and is never rested for both club and country.

Do you know what precautionary is ? The entire point is to take action before shit hits the fan. If they could wrap him in plastic before scans to make sure that nothing he does can make anyting worse, they would.
Slot into what exactly? He still would've been 5th choice for a team mostly playing two midfielders.
He'll be fit in 3 weeks.
My dad thinks Pogba is limping whenever he sees him.
What games do we have before the next break?
17/09 - Everton - PL/Home
20/09 - Burton Albion - LC/Home
23/09 - Southampton - PL/Away
27/09 - CSKA Moscow - CL/Away
30/09 - Crystal Palace - PL/Home
All winnable games but very, very congested. Our players will be wrecked and most of them are internationals too.
We have the squad to play two different teams in those fixtures. Not worried.
Thanks. Will be middle of october before Liverpool then.
At least most of them will get a week between Everton and Southampton with a much changed squad for Burton.
Expect whichever of Martial or Rashford don't start at weekend to play up top against Burton etc.
It's the Southampton, Moscow and Palace run that will test our squad the most there.
I know he only played 18 min, but here are some nice thoughts on his overall display.
They are being so unreasonably harsh on Pogba based on 18 minutes of play and his audacity for going wide a couple of times. These guys are hypocrites. No way would they criticise certain other players of other clubs like this.
