How can a player get a game every three weeks and be expected to perform at his best, it's starting to irritate me.

Jones came on at CM because we needed his height defending set plays.
Jones was no where playing in the center midfield.He was in advanced position
Ya either way tho it made sense i think bringing him on instead of cleverly, because the only way they were going to score was a set piece. I could be wrong but did he not switch with evens in the role of marking Morrison for corners?
Why not put more pressure on their crosses rather than conceding them, and put Cleverley on who has been in good match shape the past weeks?
Or am I missing something?

From set pieces you spastics
Spot on. Playing Cleverly every other game is of no use to us nor him! FFS, just give him a run of games. I'm still baffled by the decision yesterday of putting jones on for ando!
Who are we, Stoke? Carrick, Evans, Smalling, Rio, Fletcher were all tall enough to either man-mark or zonal mark. Evra has good leap on him too, so that makes it six players capable of dealing with aerial duels.
A lapse in focus (again) in defence forces us to play an inferior midfielder. This needs to be sorted out.
I assume he was rested so that he can play against Clunge on Wednesday in that all decisive dead rubber match in the CL alongside Nick Powell and Adnan Januzaj, to allow us to play Darren Fletcher, who was so off the pace he's probably still at the Madejski trying to figure out where to pass the ball.
Is there some sort of arrangement in place that makes Old Trafford implode if we ever deploy a working central midfield duo with Rooney in front of them? And if it were, why did this not happen vs Arsenal?
I guess it's got something to do with the unnatural long arms of Carl Jenkinson. I mean look at him, it's like he drags them across the floor while running. fecked if I know really.

fecking brilliant, both Anderson and Cleverley out of the derby then by looks of it. Both the kind of busy player we need in there against them.
He's a bit injury prone this lad, isn't he? Another reliable midfield source in the books!
There goes any chance we had of playing some decent football for the next month or so. I'm definitely glad we didn't buy a cm in the summer, it's really starting to make sense now.
haha you need to be kidding me
It will just be a nock 
Buzzing for Carrick Fletcher Scholes v City
We never should have trusted Cleverley's or Anderson's fitness and we should have real midfielders.The way they keep getting injured is a joke
Hope it was just precautionary. He was able to gently jog off the pitch.
He'll be fine.
No Anderson, No Cleverley, make United an unhappy team
I think its just precautionary.
Is it possible he was taken off because of his performance...to be fair him and Giggs made the Cluj team look like Barca!!!
He doesn't look in pain too much tbf, he was running normaly before he was substituted, let's hope it's just precuatation.
Had a couple of hard hits on him. I'm guessin he's got an impact injury like a bruised foot, somethin like that
Didn't look too serious an injury he was moving ok and could still do the long pass, probably just a precaution.
He wouldn't have played v City anyway.
Looked that way to me. He hit a long pass into the box when Scholes was about to come on as well with no reaction either.
Definitely seemed like a precautionary substitution more than anything, hopefully he'll still make the bench for the derby.
Looked a precaution - but factor in that he's a United player and we're looking at two months out minimum
I think he would have.
He hasn't played for a while. Tonight would have gotten him fresh for a start on Sunday.
Hope Fergie took him off as he was starting to create some real chances and we're hoping Cluj hold on for a draw and sneak past the Turks.
It's funny because it's true!He was atrocious. You guys slate Giggs, but Giggs was f**** Zidane compared to Cleverley today!
Calf injury.
Calf injury
feck sake, just when we get our defenders back, we lose two midfielders. We've had no luck whatsoever with injuries over the past couple of years, really really frustrating!
He was quite poor, but as I said in the Anderson thread after the last couple of CL games, I don't judge our players when players with a makeshift team in the CL.
Always muscles problems
So how long is he out for?
Fergie didn't mention it in his post match interview, just that he came off with a calf injury.
I'm no physio, but a minimum of 2-3 weeks surely?
Jesus!! All our decent chances came through him in the first half, Rooney shot/lob and the Hernadez clean through.
