Who here thinks Anderson will be fit for Sunday, it's a bit fishy that Anderson and Silva are both "Injured". Anderson's injury didn't even look too serious so maybe this was all a part of SAF's plan?

If he plays it will be a more positive part of our team.

Opinions?

If its a minor muscle tear it takes a minimum of 2 weeks to recover. Unlikely.

Mick

Silva will be back but I don't think Ando will be.

A sneaky feeling Vidic may start too.

Andy S

Yes saf took him off in a game we were in danger of losing just to fool mancini,how daft can u b with just one head.
Mick the red fireman.

No cleverley,anderson,valencia or vidic = no hope in hell of winning! im predicting a stuffing is on the cards as we have no midfield.

I'm pleased we dont have a midfield for this game, it will mean we dispense with the pointless passing back and forth in the middle. The only player with any injection this season has been Anderson and he wouldnt be played against City anyway, too much of a defensive liability.

Play it long for the boys up front to do the business, normally hate that style of play, but our tactics against city are always negative we need to bypass the pondorous midfield.

Sween

He wouldn't get picked even if he was fit.The terrible performances of the rest of the midfield all season have obviously merited their inclusion ahead of him.

Question for the eds and or anyone who knows about this player fernandiho of shaktar supposadly on his way to manchester but he does not state if its us or city whats he like i know he did a number on chelsea and from what i have seen he is a tough creative player but what do you guys think about him would he spur us on and make us tick again ? Katef.

Another crappy midfield performance we lacked creativity. SAF pls stop using those our old legends they usually cost us our matches, saw POGBA tonight and i wept we lost a good player in him. Maybe its time to try our U21 teams midfield am fed up of wat i see. Do u people feel the same way. MOGUL

Pogba has gone. Get over it.

-JakeW

Could not agree more onli nick powell looked decent in there tonight i am worried about sunday cos the mibfield will be carrick fletcher scholes which means no pace lots off sideways passing we are going to get mullered very sad how bad we have got

Agree totally. It was very sad to see an average but energetic team overrun us and not have the wherewithal to turn it around. I thought Giggs and Scholes looked what they are not what they would want to be.

Get over it - we had already qualified and put out a team made up of younger players such as Wooton and Powell so they get first team experience and players like Jones and Smalling who are still regaining match fitness.

Relax man... it was a performance that didnt matter. But of course, they should do better. But still, the old legend Scholes, was the only man on the field that cared (when he got yellow carded in the end of the match).. and that is more frightening!

Steffen

I agree with u im sick of seeing our midfield over run in ever game if we had a world class defensive and central midfielder we wud b a match for any 1 im sick of seeeing us been linked to forwards

i agree with paul pogba i was saying to myself last season dont bring back lengend scholes use pogba but he didnt such a shame hes gonna be a top player in a bad league

I most certainly do feel the same way. The problem is our 1st choice midfield is still lacking by the standards required to do well in Europe and our Home league.That said the second string are not going to do any better.Midfield needs an overhaul big style.I for one would love to see Fellani and Eriksen both mobile and good with the ball.

The one bonus from last nights match is that Cleverly picked up an injury ...the lad is absolutely no where near Utd class

Bilko

Alot of the problem is also down to tactics as we continue to stick with a rigid 4-4-2 rather then adapting to a 4-3-3 or a 4-5-1 to compensate for our average midfielders. take last night for example, a good time to try a new formation with the players on the pitch but what does the boss do? stick powell on left wing, rooney right wing and has a two man midfield then all we do is lump hopeless balls into the box and concede possession or look for aimless balls over the top.

Yes our midfielders are rubbish but they are even worse in the current tactics. what happened to the europen games or the big games when we used to play a extra man in the middle so we could control the game instead of conceding posession all the time.

tactallyinept

Agreed. It was worrying that all we did was lump balls in the box. No spark. Rooney quiet. Hope we improve for the derby

Once apon a time even are b team would have this Romainan team to the sword. My how times have changed! I hear people saying dont worry we already qualified but for me r midfield is poor even at full strenght! Time for fergie to address this situation or Let the Special one take over the rains at OT!

@Bilko You are happy that a United player got injured? Shows what kind of wannabe fan you are.

And could people stop the love in for Pogba? Did people actually see him for our reserves in his last season at United? He was unmotivated and constantly outperformed by Lingard and Petrucci. I am pretty sure that his transfer to Juventus was done a lot earlier than reported.

The way he played for our reserves looked like his head was already somewhere else.

The only talent we really miss is Ravel Morrison. Pogba was just greedy.

For everyone saying relax the game did not mean anything is absurd. Financially it has cost us and getting beaten by Cluj at old trafford is not acceptable.

A lot of teams who had already qualified did squad rotation RM, Barcelona, Dortmund, Bayern but they were still by far the better teams. The difference is our squad is poor and when SAF rotates players in and out we are a ghost of a team.


Shahram

I dont agree that our reserves are poor its playing them out of position and putting square peggs in round holes to play our same old formation.
