Not to worry. At least we have VAR to make sure thuggery like this won’t go unpunished.
Christian Eriksen has left Old Trafford on crutches
- Thread starter MyOnlySolskjaer
- Start date
Precisely. In an alternative universe he could've been due to be substituted the next time the ball went out of play and still got injured.
The club can easily fund a loan deal or even a cheap transfer, it would be pure negligence if they are not trying.
Eriksen is a big loss, as well as lacking quality in midfield we are now low on numbers as well.

You would think the world is about to end going by some of the posts in here.
Its one 31 year old midfielder, we have cover and have the opportunity to get a replacement if we hurry up.
We will still get top 4.

That's our season done then if we don't bring in a suitable MF today. Better win the League Cup because we're not getting Top 4 with that lack of depth; we have two MF's with or without Scott. He's not good enough.
Well this is shit obviously, potentially disastrous. On the plus side we will almost certainly be seeing more of Mainoo and/or Iqbal than we otherwise would have done, and it’s always nice to see talented youth getting these chances.
Lucky to come away with just the one injury.
Carroll would of tried taking out whoever was on the pitch.

Jonjo Shelvey incoming???
Imagine the outcry if he plays 30 mins against Forest when we're 5 up. I think I'd rather back our manager and his team of coaches in determining when players should be rested than the Caf's finest.
Fecks sake. Andy Carroll you absolute donkey. Really hope we can sign someone last minute now.
That guy has some vendetta against us. Will probably join us and injure half of the squad in training.
He did a great job against Real Madrid all those years ago.
1 cover which is MCT that's no cover that's a flat tire.
Which opportunity? A few hours left? We will probably get someone else's rubbish on loan.
Ouch, very ouch.
Can we please update the thread title

Sorry but if we had cover then why was he playing that game anyway. We have no one to replace him . People forget how bad Fred is at progressing the ball
It reminds me of average "investors" who always moan "I should have bought more during the dip" overlooking the fact that whatever assets theyre buying could go down more.
fecking genius post.
Let's not play any players in must win games in case they get injured. Genius
Bugger.
Exactly. We are basically playing a man down when this guy plays.
When he was playing, half the fan base on here was moaning, saying he's to light weight or he can't last longer than 60 mins as he's played too much,
Its a blow but not the end of the world.

Better call Tielemans fast
I’m gobsmacked. Thought it would be a few weeks maximum. Iqbal and Mainoo will be getting some opportunities then.
I don't want to sound dramatic but I hope Andy Carroll gets launched into the sun.
Awful news and could potentially ruin our entire season with all the games coming up. Such a massive shame. The fact that we didn't try to get a midfielder in this month is a travesty and it looks even worse now.
And Andy Carroll, the useless bastard. If I'd write everything I think about him right now I'd get a permanent ban from this place. Can FA not look in to that awful tackle now and suspend him?

Gutted it's so long. Walked off and even crutches can be precautionary.
Blame is all on Carroll not Ten Hag.
Who was to know he'd be on some goon demolition mission.
At least it'll stop people moaning we're too open in midfield when Fred's energy comes in.
But we lose an exceptional range of passing from that area.

Not really fussed with Eriksen. He makes our midfield too weak and slow sometimes i feel. Bruno can slot perfectly into his spot and perhaps the returning Sancho can play as a 10
Don't put your back reaching mate ffs
Not happening I'm afraid. We'll just have to make do.
Lets ask Arsenal if Martin Ødegaard is available for a loan
Gutted he's going to miss the cup final.
He's going to be a massive miss. Bruno now has so much responsibility for creativity.
Andy Carroll was an utter fecking disgrace on Saturday and I'm convinced he was determined to injure someone.

I think people are going overboard with this. It’s a blow but it’s not season ending personally. People were saying Eriksen was a weak link a week ago and now it’s like we’ve lost 2012 Messi.
You can put Fred in, drop Bruno back, put Mainoo in more etc. Casemiro has a good passing range from centre midfield. Sancho could be deployed at the attacking midfield part.
Get a cheap loan in the next few hours and it‘s better. Hopefully that’s why we’ve been so silent since Saturday about it, because we’ve been looking around. Maybe Rabiot wants a quick loan from the Juve scandal?

- fun convo that would be!You know that 2 year period we stopped picking your calls all of a sudden? It's because we all dropped our phones in the North sea by mistake.
Agreed.
Also if he had done more spinny moves, it would have disoriented Carroll, making him too dizzy to land his assaults
The donkiest donkey to ever donk.
We can nick Jorginho’s move to Arsenal
I think we need to bring someone in on loan as we are low on numbers

Is it possible to recall Hannibal?
We're probably the only club in football who would end up paying a transfer fee to bring our own loanee back to the club.
Fred's time to shine I guess
Oh well
I don't Bruno can slot perfectly into his spot at all. They're really not the same type of player. Bruno doesn't look after the ball was well as Eriksen and could be a bit of a liability in there.
What makes you think Bruno would be good in that position?
Andy Carroll, Newcastle fan.
