[Remember the geese]

Interesting - nice one mate

Tbf this fella does get some stuff right on the academy - and with all the injury news we need some lads to fill the bench!

Yeah, I trust this source completely when it comes to the academy. Will be refreshing to see a new face or two.

 

[JBG]

Really wish Amir Ibragimov was older and ready for the 1st team.. would have been perfect replacement for Amad now

 

[Joseunited]

Imagine Kone in midfield while Casemiro sits on the bench.
God alone knows how we are going to set up tomorrow.

 

[Irwin99]

So with the bad news i'm thinking this line up?

Onana
Dorgu, Yoro, De Ligt, Maz, Dalot
Casemiro Bruno
Eriksen Garnacho
Hojlund

 

[Bertie Wooster]

In regards to the usual "no more excuses" posters.

How does losing 4 of our midfielders in between matches count? Just "another excuse" if we struggle without them all? Or can we at least acknowledge that it's a huge blow worthy of valid comment, rather than just an "excuse".

 

[Shark]

Amad and Mainoo out for the season. Two players who made it somewhat tolerable to watch us play. Think I'll just forget we're playing now and call it a day for the season.

 

[DavidDeSchmikes]

well this could be another Man Utd 3-2 Arsenal 2016 type of game

Those posters need to drink a bottle of cop on.

Personally I blame 3-4-3 for these injuries, if we played 4-3-3 this wouldn't never happened. Gosh darnit!

Amad could be gone for the season which would be a massive blow but Mainoo is only expected to be out for a few weeks according to what I've read.

 

[Dannn411]

In light of injuries, my ideal lineup and formation (which will never be picked) would be:

Bayindir
Maz, De Ligt, Yoro
Dalot, Casemiro, Bruno, Eriksen, Dorgu
Zirkzee/Hojlund, Garnacho

3-5-2

Is Onana injured?

 

[laughtersassassin]

Safe to say we are the stupidest club in world football

 

[NotoriousISSY]

Is Onana injured?

He probably just doesn’t like him, which is a fair take.

 

[RedRocket9908]

This was always going to be a tough fixture to win but now we've got no midfield its almost impoosible to win.

 

[ColvaleGoa]

Battle of the Injured

 

[Gandalf]

Didn’t we sign Heaven in part because he wanted to play midfield rather than as a CB which is how Arsenal saw him. Would he be a possible option in there tomorrow?

 

[Hoof the ball]

"F**k it! We'll play all the kids!"
"F*****g first team squad SUCKS!"

 

[groovyalbert]

Would love to know what Amorim has been making us do in training this week to get all these injuries.

 

[rooney2009]

This is why you don’t loan out all your squad players with replacements in the January window
We are being run by muppets. And they almost gave away Garnacho as well.
There is no way Anthony and Rashford should have been loaned out without at least one replacement.
We are definitely in a relegation battle at this rate.

 

[Wrecking ralf]

In other news. Lindelof is back

 

[Giggsy13]

It’s more of an indictment of the players and our sport science/physio team.

 

[SparcMac]

Injured Spurs vs Injured United.

 

[Overhaul FC]

Still laughing? Pay attention to the young players at our club before you laugh at them being included.

Antony and Rashford were both shit though so we’d still be crap. Longer term loaning them out was correct as we need rid of them both once and for all in the summer. I’d rather see a younger player given a go than Antony and we won’t be any worse off.

 

[100]

Weirdly looking a bit more forward to this now.

 

[Giggsy13]

So who from the U-18 and U-21s is going to make the step up? Looks like the youth movement is coming.

Issue isn't loaning out Antony and Rashford (who both where shit and basically not playing). It was not bringing anyone in, that was a very stupid decision.

 

[Zico1982]

Onana
De Ligt-Harry-Yoro
Garnacho-Mazraoui-Bruno-Dorgu
Eriksen-Zirkzee
Rasmus

 

[Wrecking ralf]

Onana​

Mazraoui De Ligt Yoro​

Dalot Kone Bruno Dorgu

Zirkzee Obi Garnacho​

​

Or have the front line

Moorhouse Zirkee Garnacho

 

[rooney2009]

We’ve basically lost 2 bodies and not replaced them.
This is the physical premiership where a big squad is required.
I’m just fuming at the way this club is being run at the moment.

 

[ThanksBoss26]

My guess is Casemiro and Bruno and the two central midfielders with Eriksen and Garnacho as the number 10’s.

Not an appealing prospect but I think the likes of Kone, Moorhouse etc will more likely be on the bench.

 

[Wilt]

Good …Amorim learning the art of winding up opposition

I give up on people calling most of our players shit.
At least Anthony gives his all unlike Rashford, it’s not his fault that Woodward paid 80m for him.
You need squad players in the PL as you can not have world class players that will happily sit on the bench every week
The problem with this club is the Management, the Glazers and stingy SJR and his bunch of Ineos muppets.

 

[Bertie Wooster]

I guess the only 'positive' of the timing of Amad's injury is that it's come just after we've signed Patrick Dorgu, so at least we still have one left footed wing back.

But obviously such a huge blow that we can't play both - or benefit from Amad in the #10 role.

Any team without him looks worse. And remove our first three options for the CM's at the same time and, bloody hell, it looks a depressing line up. And that's before we even consider the lack of depth on the subs bench.

 

[always_hoping]

Injured Spurs vs Injured United.

Spurs getting players back from injury vs United who have lost a hand full of more players to injury

 

[roseguy64]

Amorim is going to do a Van Gaal at Ajax

@Niall

Also, please remove Gore and Wheatley.

 

[hellhunter]

You still know whose injuries will be the story in the media if we get any kind of result

Antony was shit for us though and given he only played about 130 minutes of football in the league this season he wasn’t even a squad player, just making up the numbers.

We had no one to replace Amad with or without Antony, it’s pointless complaining about him not being here.
