We won't be laughing if Michael gets injured tomorrow.:(
Hopefully people will now see why I was so desperate for us to sign Morgan. We basically have insurance against the (inevitable) injuries to Carrick and Basti.

Is that him on the right with his left knee in a small wrap? Could be he jarred his knee or something. At least it's not the ankle anyway which was the main thing bothering him the last few years.

No need to risk anyone. We want to be ready and fit for the game in 2 weeks time not tomorrow.

...and so it begins.....
... the group of moaning fecktardious redcafe scientists have pulled a roll of toiletpaper from under their beds and started crossing off the number of days he is injured so they might be able to prepare a 'called it' post 2 months into the new season.

Yes it has begun.

You might just be able to see it if you are in Germany. Little interview with Schweinsteiger in Germany.

The injury is not even an injury. He just remarked a muscle in the match against San Jose and decided not to risk anything and go on with training.

Sensible to not risk it then.

Yes, then outrage yourself about the fact that they do not seem to have to sing a song or do something else after their first match for United... (he was asked for that in the interview, too)

The initiation songs will come for the newbies. Remember Kagawa doing Gangnam style?!

Some of the one touch passes and long balls have been excellent but we're missing athleticism in midfield.. Don't think Carrick and Schweinstiger will work against teams that have quick players and play on the break.

He's so great. Not even doing anything out of this world either. Just a joy to watch.

Home games.

Away games Schneiderlin, Herrera and one of them needs to play.

Some slick and accurate passing from Basti but I don't like this combo with him and Carrick, it's too square. He looks fired up though which is great to see.

Just keep in mind that he is still behind with training sessions.

Thought he did really well. We just have to keep him fit, will be a great signing if so. People comparing him to Falcao are having a laugh, because Falcao lost a lot of his ability after his injury, while Schweinsteiger just lost a bit of his athleticism.

Can see his quality but needs something different next to him. Someone who can be a little more dynamic and run between the lines and attack the space rather than just passing it.....to easy to defend against

I want him to go forward more.

Both Carrick and him sit too deep. Probably instruction from LVG.

Him and Morgan will be better combo imo with Basti given more freedom to move forward.

I thought it was ideal at Bayern when he had Martinez as partner or behind him - Müller running the spaces - Ribery as a playmaker from the left and Robben doing his runs on the right.

That was Heynckes - or more even van Gaal like.

playing 2 6s together is just LVGs way of being over cautious. he has to play with an 8. we have only one who is kind of an 8 and thats herrera.

Someone like Herrera you mean?

Same thought here. It is difficult to contribute to attack, when both central mids sit deep and are not really mobile. The Bastian+Cartick duo neither prevent PSG from slicing our defense, nor contribute much attack wise. We were outnumbered in central midfield and their final third, whereas our own defense was not protected much as both Carra and Basti did not press enough. Let's see how we line up against Spurs, but my prediction is that we wil not be able to play fast attacking game, if Anders does not start.

Schweini needs more training it seems to regain full fitness. I tend to agree that it should be either Carrick or Schweinseiter that starts, not both together
