Something struck me at the end of the game. With all the injuries is that the highest combined squad numbers we've played in a competitive game?

Probably lowest average age.

Probably still can't beat City at that, they started

53
75
76
51
59
and 72

not too mention 62 and 77 coming off the bench

Fkn city

 

[ivaldo]

Martial must be absolutely shattered and poor lad will have to play.

Yeah, hes allowed the odd poor performance anyway, he didn't need to be on top form today.

[saivet]

Midgetland. Arsenal. Watch out. Louis Van Gaal's barmy army are back in business.

 

[77]

Like playing a pub team

That's unfair. We're at least a fancy wine bar team.

 

[FC Ronaldo]

Liverpool's team vs Exeter that drew had an average age of 22.87.
Ours tonight that beat Shrewsbury 3-0 had an average age of 23.42.

Not much to shout about really but interesting side note nonetheless.

 

[Im red2]

LVG squirted himself in the face with a water bottle

Can I be next?

 

[Zexstream]

It was a result, a result that keeps that god awful manager at OT.

Our team is stripped to the bare bones and a decent team would have beaten them 8-0 tonight.

But its still a win and we are still in the cup.

Thursday night will be a better test, followed by Arsenal.

Feel sorry for Keane.

 

[Loon]

Gaal-qaeda .

 

[ottosec]

We finally found a team to beat!

 

[JTW95]

Its our fecking year!

 

[Ole's_toe_poke]

We should self-relegate ourselves to League 1. We would finish in the top 4 for sure.

 

[Danny1982]

I'm now confident we can win the third division league.

Cool what did they say?

 

[edcunited1878]

We understand United are chasing at least one goal going into the 2nd leg, but Martial shouldn't have to start. Come off the bench yes, but he's knackered and needs rest before exerting even more energy against Arsenal.

United should at least show up and threaten to score at home against Miditledkjyland.

 

[Alex Styles]

LVG in!!!!!!!!!!

 

[sunama]

We finally found a team to beat!

Now all we need to do is to play Brugge and Shrewsbury in every game and we'll be treble winners!!!

He says 'forum' like that Jaffa Cake advert from some years back.

"For-oom, half-moon, total eclipse"

 

[Sad Chris]

Cool what did they say?

Short version:

90% of the biggest Utd forum Redcafe.net want Mourinho as new manager. We don't want any more experiments after van Gaal and Moyes.

Awkward with Rooney and Keane injured. We are now short up front.

 

[SqueakyWeasel]

Shit CBJ was injured not rested!

 

[Zexstream]

Van Gaal just told BT sports that he stole the 2nd goal offside style from Midgetland.

So he is taking ideas from the little teams, some philosophy!

 

[Minkaro]

Shrewsbury have a player called Abu Ogogo.

I swear, if they don't have a chant for him to the tune of Wake Me Up (Before You Go-Go), I'm disowning my hometown.

feck off! So big teams are not allowed to try something that could work??? It doesn't matter if the team who use that is good or "bad"...

 

[BarstoolProphet]

Decent performance without doing much. Memphis looked like he did not care.

Really? There's wasn't anyone else on the pitch who wanted to score and create goals more than him. If you judge by body language then Martial doesn't care every match.

 

[Rolandofgilead]

We know about Will Keane going off injured, but LVG just said that Lingard was really struggling at the end tonight too.

i've never known anything like it, getting a team together to win on Thursday is looking tricky.

 

[Fener1907]

It's Shrewsbury. What is there to say.

Thing is we had similar last season, it can surely be no coincidence.

I honestly don't know, i'm no sports scientist. I don't know how many are muscle injuries or how many are impact injuries.

 

[red_devil83]

They offered very little tbh. Nice comfortable win but we didn't learn anything except even more of our players are injured.

Hope CBJ and Martial are fit for Midgetland

 

[C'est Moi Cantona]

I honestly don't know, i'm no sports scientist. I don't know how many are muscle injuries or how many are impact injuries.

Me either, but this sort of injury list is something that has happened in both of LvG's seasons now.

We got rid of that Matt Radcliffe physio if I remember correctly, maybe pointing the finger at him, rather than the actually finding the root cause to our injury issues.

 

[Acole9]

It has to be down to our training programme all these injuries we're picking up. I know Varela was back tonight but surely some others should be due back soon.

As for the match, it was a decent win I was fairly pessimistic going into it but regardless of how bad we've been recently we should really be winning these games.

 

[Darwin09]

Took 37 minutes to score and it was kind of a freakish goal as you wouldn't expect Smalling so far upfield.

Was starting to think they would keep us scoreless first half and then play with our desperation in the 2nd half, as has happened countless times over the past season.
