Matthew Le God Posted 2 December, 2014 Share Posted 2 December, 2014 (edited) Notice they've got Rojo back now, so they're not looking too bad at the back. Their defence tonight vs Stoke City is... Valencia Smalling Rojo Young ...that wouldn't fill me will confidence. Two wingers shoehorned to play fullback plus Chris Smalling who is out of his depth at Man Utd. If Smalling was at a mid table club I'd doubt he'd get remotely near the England squad, he is a disaster waiting to happen in every game as he is very limited technically.

To be fair, Valencia is pretty much a wing back these days anyway, SAF played him at RB a few times. Young I give you, horrific footballer played out of position. His pace will get him out of trouble though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Clarke Posted 3 December, 2014 Share Posted 3 December, 2014 Di Maria is out. Blind is out Shaw is out Rafeal is out Phil Jones is out Rooney could well be out I really fancy this one This has always been the game I've fancied of the 3. They're on a good run, but I may regret saying this, but I don't see them as a team who can go 5/6/7 wins on the bounce as yet, they're still growing and they're full of injuries....and as they won their 4th on the bounce last night, it makes you wonder if we can halt it on Monday...it'll be good to put a bit of daylight between ourselves and Utd again, as they're on our tail a bit. By all accounts, Stoke should have drawn last night, they didn't play particularly well at all....so although results have improved, I don't think their form in particular has.

Wiggles31 Posted 3 December, 2014 Share Posted 3 December, 2014 Reed must start if the injuries to Cork, Toby and Morgan remain. Also give Gardos a chance at CB. Never confident with Yoshida playing. Utd are getting a lot of media hype but were lucky against Arsenal and nearly threw it away against Stoke. The easiest of these hard games IMO. Don't believe the hype. Need to be more urgent in attack but squad depth is paying in dividends. Give some youngsters a chance. 1-1 for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

del boy Posted 5 December, 2014 Share Posted 5 December, 2014 Looking back I wish we'd played the reserves against Man City and the Arse, lost anyway and now be ready to face Man Ure with a fully fit first team. But that would be rather defeatist and who knows, if things had gone differently we could be 6 points better off by now - lovely thing hindsight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have overtaxed our quality players, probably not being aided by having an entire first team of internationals with endless international breaks and different training systems. We have a team,a very good one but we don't have a homogenous squad and probably never will have, never mind we've 40 or 50 million in the bank that we can harp on about from time to time. Trouble is money in the bank is useless when you can't afford (under FFP) to pay the players that you could buy with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Clarke Posted 5 December, 2014 Share Posted 5 December, 2014 Gutted for Cork, bit suspect about Morgan. Hope this isn't going to be another one of those injuries that's quite bad, but the club keep under wraps! Sounds good on Toby and Tadic at least....luckily midfield is our strongest area!

James Posted 5 December, 2014 Share Posted 5 December, 2014 I suspect Morgan is badly injured but they don't want to disclose it to damage morale. Good(ish) news about Toby hope he makes United. If he doesn't who plays? I can't believe we've had so many injuries in such a short period. Literally identical to last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNSUN Posted 5 December, 2014 Share Posted 5 December, 2014 Tough to name a side for this one. I'd assume we either play Reed or resort to that formation we played against Villa. So: Forster Clyne Fonte Yoshida Bertrand Reed Wanyama Davis Tadic Pelle Long or like Villa with the Reed out the team above and Mané in. FWIW I'd go for the latter. United's defence is suspect and I'd attack the crap out of it at home, with Wanyama as the brick ****house protecting our defence. Oh, and I've picked Yoshida above Gardos as that's the substitution Koeman has gone with lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May be wrong but I thought Morgan sat in the dugout during the 2nd half of the City game. Surely he'd have been getting medical treatment in the dressing room if the injury was serious? He was also on the Saints advent calendar wrapping presents (badly I might add) and certainly didn't appear to be hobbling about. FWIW I think he may have returned to early from the injury he got whilst away with France. It may not have healed properly and now it's flared up again.
