Schmeichel's Cartwheel
Correctly predicted Italy to win Euro 2020
Will we regret it? With Martial's injury, we are down to one senior striker. We feel very very thin there I must admit.
Back after SouthamptonHow long is Martial injured for?
We are 3 or 4 injuries from being totally screwed...Will we regret it? With Martial's injury, we are down to one senior striker. We feel very very thin there I must admit.
That game just became much more difficult.Back after Southampton
We won't miss a player who scored 27 goals and 15 goals for us in two seasons?We won't miss either of them but knowing this place they'll be a few people proclaiming they could have scored 30+ goals between them both.
Some are still talking about Hererra as if we've let Beckham, Scholes and Keane go at the same time so nothing surprises me.
Well Lukaku had 27 goals in year 1 and then what, 19 in year 2? Shipping goals and not replacing them is pretty daft.We won't miss either of them but knowing this place they'll be a few people proclaiming they could have scored 30+ goals between them both.

Lukaku and Herrera, for all their faults, did a job for us. Lukaku was our top scorer for the last two seasons & Herrera was a starter. Not replacing either, along with Fellaini, who again despite his many faults did a job for us (we could have used him last Saturday) was a very foolish move from us in my opinion.We won't miss either of them but knowing this place they'll be a few people proclaiming they could have scored 30+ goals between them both.

Whichever team gets 3/4 injuries to their first team are screwed not just Manutd.We are 3 or 4 injuries from being totally screwed.
Sense. I dont know why everyone is calling for Lukaku and Sanchez to be replaced? They got sold because they don't fit in the system.We have striker cover, but that striker is our left winger. We should've bought another winger.
No we should have bought an actual no.10 that scores goals. We have loads of wing cover e.g. Lingard, Chong, Greenwood, Gomes.We have striker cover, but that striker is our left winger. We should've bought another winger.
Exactly. Imagine if Liverpool had Salah, Mane and VVD injured? Though in City's case, they're so ridiculously stacked that they'd be fineWhichever team gets 3/4 injuries to their first team are screwed not just Manutd.
And I would rather have Rashford, Martial, James, Greenwood all rotating than waiting for Sanchez to come good or sign someone like Dybala who is here for wages only.Exactly.

The problem is those teams rarely get injuries. We do. Ole has been working on fitness at least, there will be growing pains but our squad should be fitter because of it.
Not as screwed as us and you know it.Whichever team gets 3/4 injuries to their first team are screwed not just Manutd.
We don't need wing cover, we need first choice wingers.No we should have bought an actual no.10 that scores goals. We have loads of wing cover e.g. Lingard, Chong, Greenwood, Gomes.
At the AM position our substitute teacher is also the head of French for some reason.
If we look at it up top.Not as screwed as us and you know it.
City would cope fairly easily though I concede Liverpool might find it harder. But whichever way you look at it we have less depth than both of them, as well as them both having a better first 11.
With our new all action pressing style I’m expecting hamstrings and calves to start going down soon enough. We will be playing centre backs all over the pitch soon enough.
Whether you like them or not we have first choice wingers in Rashford and James. We also have options in reserve. At no.10 our first choice is Lingard, there is a clear difference. Adam Johnson has more Premier League assists in the last 6 years than Jesse Lingard and he was in prison for 3 of them.We don't need wing cover, we need first choice wingers.
I really think it depends on ‘which’ 3 or 4 players get injured in most cases.If we look at it up top.
If Liverpool lose 3 - Firminho, Salah, Origi - then we are looking at Shaqiri and Brewster?
Manutd lose 3 - Martial, James, Rashford - We will be looking at Greenwood, Chong - so both are still quite fecked. I wouldn't mind if a Lingard over Rashford got injured.
City - They can cope.
I would rather have a thin squad this season and getting rid of players we dont want and then next season signing 1st team players and ones who don't perform this season drop to the bench.
I honestly think we'll start seeing the likes of Young and/or Dalot play on the wings if it gets to that point. Which it probably might.Yeah I think we will.
Neither Martial or Rashford have been truly consistent in their time here, for various factors. We need them both to step up.
Martial is injured at the moment. Lets say Rashford gets injured early vs Southampton, what would our front 4 even be?
Greenwood
James - Mata - Lingard
Because that is beyond piss poor for a club the size of United.
Liverpool have much more flexibility, if they lost Firmino, Salah and Origi they'd still have the best LW in the league, and the likes of Oxlade-Chamberlain, Lallana, Wijnaldum can all play higher up the park.If we look at it up top.

The only one I am worried about is PogbaI really think it depends on ‘which’ 3 or 4 players get injured in most cases.
I just hope we don’t lose too many midfielders at one time or we will part like the Red Sea......
