sundays team could be as poor as last weeks, apart from RVP coming into it.

Evans and Rafa too

Evans and Valencia too.

Lads i'm not turning on LvG, he's fail to impress me thus far and i'll admit i expected a bit more TBh but look i'll give him his chance

The disappoinitng thing as far as i'm concerned is that we could all see that the sqaud needed reinforcements and its not been done as of yet. The whole idea of i need to asses my players and squad is silly. Giggs has been caretaker/assistant for almost 4 months and should've been telling LVG all of this information and saying this is what we need and we need it now. Any manager always relies on his assistants opinions and LvG is not getting it from Giggs et al.

He also hasn't cleared deadwood out in a very bloated squad. TBf he has 10 days before the window shuts so obviously lots could happen but it needs to be happening at a faster rate than it is.

On Scholes yes he has a right to his opinion and lets not forget he toiled with some of these players and has a loyalty to them but also trained with them last season and knows their limitations, so his saying we needed Kroos Fabregas are valid points.

don't know what to say about this post tbh!!

Jones and Kags in midfield hopefully, with Blackett, Smalling and Evans at the back. No doubt Fletcher will play though so don't know why I'm even bothering.

twam2008 · 22-08-2014 03:33PM

It'll be interesting to see what he does, impossible not to be pi$$ed off though.

herrera out for up to 6 weeks ffs

homerjay2005 · 22-08-2014 03:37PM

is it confirmed that Welbeck Rafael, Evans and Valencia are all available for selection? Rafael was available last week, but wasnt picked. same with RVP.

i expected us to struggle but still win last weekened. i expect an even bigger struggle, but at least Sunderland wont put 10 men behind the ball which will suit us more.

im hoping our good away form from last year will see us scrape a win, but if we drop points it wont come as any shock.

the options we have going for sundays game, really is depressing. hopefully Wilson gets a go from the start alongside RVP, with Rooney in midfield.

In that case I suppose you could also apply the same to a person on an internet forum who might be calling our CE incompetent and questioning our Manager. I think these 2 might just know about more about football and running a club and maybe the person on the forum is wrong?

The CE is incompetent, that's a self fullfilling allegation once people on the internet are saying it.

A competent CE wouldn't allow himself to become a laughing stock. If the club was controlled by ordinary shareholders he'd be long gone by now.

Saying hes beginning to talk sh*te doesn't mean I'm turning against him. Doesn't mean I'm any less of a fan or as an op put it ' so called fan'. And whats the difference Pro. F with me questioning his comments and you questioning Scholes comments.??. All bow down in front of you is it???.

Also saying what he discussed with welbeck was a private matter is b*blocks. It will be known at the end of the transfer window. Does he stay or go??

The difference would be that everybody knows that LvG talks a lot of shíte, he has always been famous for it, whereas Scholes' shíte talk is being lapped up without question in here because of the player he was.

This is one of my favourite posts in a good while, wpwp!

Phil Jones could do a decent job in the defensive midfield 2 of a 3-5-2.

Oh god, Homer is going to hit me, isn't he?

Pro. F · 22-08-2014 03:43PM

8 injuries (I don't count Anderson) this early in the season is rough. The new physio is having a hard time of it.

redbaron_99 · 22-08-2014 03:44PM

Well, my positivity eaten away again. The team we are forced to play this weekend is simply depressing.

Vic Vinegar · 22-08-2014 03:44PM

It's ok, Ando was training with the first team this week, he should be ready for action.

Cleverley and Anderson midfield. Sorted

Crimson King · 22-08-2014 03:47PM

I thought things were going to be easier this season now that the demands of European football are not stretching our squad.

FFS, one game in and 8 players missing already

[Negativity] Rojo doesn't have a work permit yet and apparently Herrera is injured.

Anyone think it would be a good idea to send Woodward a PS Vita and Football Manager 2014, might give him some ideas in the transfer market.

I know he is famous for it but I think its near time for solutions and not excuses. The funny thing is if Moyes was still in charge and we were in this situation how many of those suggesting to have faith and not be critical or not panic would be of the same opinion????.
He could have simply answered the question in relation to welbeck. In his plans or not

It's the people who think he's only ****e because he's played out of position who'll be upset with that.

It'll be just like the old days! (when they were really good for those 5 or 6 games)

Adamocovic · 22-08-2014 03:57PM

De Gea

--Smalling--Evans--Jones----
Rafael

Young

Fletcher--Cleverley----

Mata

*RVP

Rooney---

That's what I'm expecting to see this weekend. Could be completely wrong but just my view. Don't know what I make of it!

*Depending on RVP fitness Welbeck might be given the chance.

UnitedIrishman · 22-08-2014 03:58PM

At this rate, even if we signed Vidal and Di Maria they'll probably slip coming out of the bath after their first training session and be out for weeks.

If our situation wasn't so bad it'd almost be funny.

Vic Vinegar · 22-08-2014 03:58PM

Herrera just out for two weeks according to ESPN.
