So Rooney confirmed not even in the squad? What is going on :s
Off in the summer!
no Rooney ?
I thought I was going to have to miss the game due to being at work, but I've got a burst pipe under the kitchen sink, so I'm having to take a half day to go home and mop up and wait for the plumber. Telly on.
Silver linings and all that, though I might end up taking a hammer to the pipe myself if we lose.

Totes
Or injured.
Can't believe that.It's not 12 yet
No Rooney or RVP. Think we will struggle.
Smalling's earning is wages anyway.
Team is strong, but no Rooney is a worry. Anyone heard anything about injuries?

Where's Evans?
May be knee-jerk, but I can't see us going through with that line-up. With RVP, Rooney & Kagawa we miss our three best attacking players.
This. Odd though that SAF didn't mention it in his presser.
doesn't the line ups come an hour early. how did it come so soon? surely some prank

Rooney can't be seen in these pics either. Must be injured.

5-4-2, I like it
just seen BBC and apparently the excuse is that he's knackered.....don't buy it personally
not impressed with the team, no Rooney or RVP.
I expected Rooney to start and RVP sat on the bench.
I think we can still do it but its going to be a hard and scrappy game.

Valencia again
no I dont, that was the reason he did not play on Saturday.
I didn't buy into the whole Rooney is off talk from around the time of the Madrid game but something is definitely going on now. Something is not right. Unless he is injured of course
Surprised Giggs is not starting. RVP was always going to be on bench. Rooney must be injured.
What's up with Evans?
What's up with Evans?
Welbeck's going to have to be key for this game. He'll have to be the one who links the midfield with the attack because Hernandez will of course be on the defenders' shoulders.
There's some knee-jerk reactions here - replace Rooney with one of Hernandez/Welbeck, and it's basically the team we all expected. I understand Rooney has a huge influence on how we play - but I trust Welbeck.

Seems strange, you would think he is as strong as an ox.
Smalling will be playing his 4th full match in 9 days won't he?
On plus side, it's nice to see Powell and Vermijl on the bench!
Rooney picked up a groin injury with England according to MUTV
We'll soon know the truth from Coleen Rooney's twitter!
Considering this is the only thing left to play for this season, I expected the strongest possible side.
Anyway.. trust Fergie.

How? Expecting Chelsea to fold in shock at the non inclusion of Rooney or RVP?
They'll need to invitation to attack.
It'll be over by HT
Game begins in 40 minutes.
Valencia also.
Valencia aside I'm happy with that midfield.
Hernandez plays well against Chelsea so that's not a problem and Welbeck will work his arse off.
The defence is good too considering Vidic can't play two and Rafa is out.
Just got to cross our fingers and hope they play well.

He took knock against Sunderland.
Gets worse IMO. We do well when Evans has played
I'm backing Hernandez and Nani to really perform today.

We'll be on the counter today!
Damn. Didn't know that. Good think i came early from college
the team out is very capable of winning, saying it will be over by HT is a bit OTT.How? Expecting Chelsea to fold in shock at the non inclusion of Rooney or RVP?
