Mane, Boufal and Tadic as the front 3 would be amazing, the pace and danger from them would scare defenses. Pellet would be useful as a squad player. Romeu is doing a better job then wanyama did last season. Having J-Rod before his injuries is all the current team actually needs.

Agree that Arnautovic is a good player, but the guy has been a tool and a pain at almost every club he has played at. Would go for Quincy Promes from Spartak Moskou, has pace and can score goals from outside the box. Has 37 goals in 72 in the Russian Premier League.

We tried to explain to him why the players can't play every game on the previous page. All we got was childish responses. Why this prat doesn't get banned for his constant trolling remains a mystery.

You don't understand why 'superman' Andy Murray can play more games then our players. Well let's compare Murray to our players. How many 30/40/50 meter sprints does Murray do during a tennis match? How often is Murray on the receiving end of a crunching tackle? How many kicks against the knees and ankles does Murray get during a match? How often is Murray dragged, pulled and pushed around during a match? How many sliding tackles does Murray make during a match (with the risk that someone stamps on his leg)? Once you have answered these questions, you will realize that comparing tennis players to footballers doesn't make sense. They are 2 completely different sports, and football is way harder for the body. And so the players need more time to recover. Well there you Glasgow/Heisenberg, loads of bites tonight from us.

Could be down to several things. VvD is 25 years old, the younger you are, the faster your body can recover. If we compare Redmond to VvD, you see that Redmond has to make more sprints (anarobic exercise) during the match, where as VvD sprints less, but runs more (aerobic exercise). I dont know VvD,s medical records, however if it shows he recovers well and his body can handle the intensity, the club are right to play him. And finally, he is our best player by a mile.

I pity your stupidity. However if you werent trolling (seems unlikely), Ill explain the reason why Claude rotates the squad. After 90 minutes of playing football the players will be exhausted, this is not Sunday league where the intensity and speed is much lower. Once the match ends, the recovery process starts. The muscles will be sore and the players will be in pain after recieving kicks and being pushed around quite a bit. Muscle pain (DOMS) takes between 48 and 72 hours to recover, lets say we play on Saturday, that will bring us till Tuesday. massaging might speed the recovery, but wont speed the recovery of the CNS (central nervous system). That brings us to the next point. The CNS takes more time to recover and if we dont give the CNS the time it needs, overtraining occurs. With overtraining the player would start to lose concentration, feel tired, lose sleep (essential for a good recovery) and be more prone to injuries. So if we play Saturday, Thursday and Sunday you see that would simply be too much for a player. In this day and age of football the players have to be quick, strong and able to give 100% for 90 minutes. You can pay them as much as you want, some players have the body and strength to play well in to their thirties, whilst others (think of Robben, Ledley King, Pahars etc) are very talented but dont have the body and strength to cope with the high demands of modern football. You can bring in the best physiotherapists, sports scientists and coaches, but you cant change someones bodytype, joints or nervous system. I do believe with the amount of muscle related injuries we have had, our strength and medical team could do with being reviewed (I could be wide of the mark as I dont know the medical facts and the training the players do).

Quickly scrolling through the comments and was just wondering 'is this forum still being moderated?' Seems like the trolls can say and do whatever the like. Shame really, used to have some good conversations and knowledgeable posters on here. Can anyone recommend a forum where people write their own match reports and sensible conversations are held without trolls ruining the threads?

Yesterday our former right back Jesus turned 38. After retiring from football he has become a model. Dutch football website Voetbalzone has slideshow of photos (from photo nr 5 you can see how jesus looks nowadays). http://www.voetbalzone.nl/inbeeld.asp?uid=292816

Dutch and Italian media reporting De Boer could be on his way out after a string of poor results. Its likely Inter have a caretaker or new manager this Thursday (possible new manager syndrom alert).

I think we are doing well on the pitch, losing to Chelsea is no shame, they were very strong yesterday. What does concern me is the amount of injuries we have had so far, McCarthy, Targett, Bertrand and Long all have had hamstring injuries this season. In most cases hamstring injuries are down to weak lower back muscles, glutes and hamstrings. The chance of getting these muscle related injuries can be minimalised with good strength and conditioning, good nutrition and enough recovery time. With the fixture conjestion we have, recovery training (think of myofascial release, low inpact strength training and massaging) and nutrition must be at its best.

Lawro has us to lose 0-2. http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/37781121 Would take a draw against Chelsea, some tough games coming up.

Who remembers this Saint Scooby (or Scooby Saint) who kept trolling about how great Lowe was and said he lived in the States. Turned out to be some local film producer or something along that line.

Boufal you idiot, save that for league games! Amazing goal and what a first touch..

http://www.totalsportek.com/manchester-united-live-stream/ Great quality stream, COYR

This, employ a team of strength coaches, physical therapists, nutritionists and massage practitioners. 1 expert for every 5 players (groups selected on bodytype and biomechanical profiles). Watch the amount of injuries go down and the players get fitter and stronger.

Think Fonte should be given the opportunity to captain the team away at the San Siro, he has been with us for so long. Forster Martina - yoshida- Fonte- McQueen Romeu Davis - Hoijbjerg Tadic Redmond - Jrod Austin and VvD to be rested and on the bench

Phillips scored away at city from a Delap long throw, think it was Beattie that headed it on to Phillips.

Great memories! Talking of great moments, Anders Svensson running the length of the pitch to score against Tottenham in the fa cup.

I was told for a fact that Pompey was (and still is) the first club where the majority of season tickets holders dont have any teeth, and share the same DNA.

This, people underestimate the importance of recovery, especially for top athletes over 30. Reckon we will play are strongest team at the San Siro, all the players would want to play that game.

If Black gets the sack, the club should promote Jaidi to assistent manager. Speaks French and if there was any bother around the touchline with the opposing team, its good to have Radhi around

Would like to have seen Martina and Hojbjerg start. However you don't know how the feel after Thursday. Austin did a great job against Prague, but the fact he was knackerd after 40 min is worrying. Can anyone who attended Thursday say if there are improvements in play and if the formation is working better?

Dutch and Italian media reporting Pelle is regretting his move to China. Apparently his girlfriend (Viktoria Varga) is unsettled and Pelle isnt enjoying the quality of football in China. Should we try a loan bid in January? Source: http://www.voetbalzone.nl/doc.asp?uid=288638 (in Dutch).

Is Boufal fit enough to play? Thought he was injured.
