Huge loss.

Our team is so brittle. Another big spend needed in January...

Lord TSC

Unbelievable about Blind.

Usually don't cry about luck or stuff like this out of our control, but...

dubmick

One of the few players I've been impressed with this season. Would be surprised if he plays again this season.

TheDoc

Who else exactly is injured now apart from DDG and Blind ? Absolutely gutted for Blind thought he has been excellent.

Goes further to just make me hate internationals and their breaks from the domestic game. So frustrating and rubbishly timed through the year.

Carrick no doubt slotting in there now. So at least he had come back in time.

How Soon Is Now

Cant believe this seriously how the hell are we so ****ed with injurys every year!!

Dunno when the team is gonna get a chance to play a settled first 11 with all the changes having to be made its really not helping the fact we have a new manager and new players.

Ah i dunno so fed up with this at this stage.

DM_7

Herrera back in for Arsenal game so.

Rayne Wooney

We'll probably see Carrick Fellaini and Rooney with Di Maria and Januzaj flanking RVP against Arsenal

Sanchez is going to cause us a lot of problems, fantastic player

ElChe32

Another injury!??!

Isn't carrick injured as well

Blind injured? F**k sake.

Ffs, was hardly intentional, even if he did mean to follow through fair play. We need players like that rather than tc23 being afraid to tackle.

He can use his height and strength to his advantage.

I don't think it was intentional but you never know with that lumbering oaf.

On the bolded bit...are you for real?

Why? They have indicated it will be a 4 to 6 weeks job, medial ligament damage, not cruciate or anterior

MCL isn't as bad generally, also there is still the hope its a strain rather then a tear, just keeping my fingers crossed for some good news when they do a proper scan

It's always nice to have a player who will get stuck in, and use his weight. we have had to deal with the likes of carrick, cleverly, Anderson shying away from tackles in the past. It's good to have a player who skirts the line of 'dirty'. Ivanovich for Chelsea. It's good to see him getting stuck in. Plus Allen ran into him, at the most he used his arm to push him away.

But sure faux outrage is always good.

Some strong words being thrown about, but hey that's none of my business.

:rolleyes:

You accused me of "faux outrage". It was neither fake nor outrage.

Also,I haven't thrown any strong words around unless you consider "oaf" a strong word in which case I suggest you get out more.

I said it looked accidental but you're choosing to ignore that.

Just looked like Allen ran full pelt into him and he is unfortunate he comes up to his arm.

See this below. It could have been an accident but it looks to me he lifts his elbow up. Naturally you'd straighten your arm out across your opponent, not lift your elbow up. But I'll agree that's not enough evidence to say he 100% meant it.

Personally looks sneaky to me

Marouane Fellaini hit Joe Allen with a nasty elbo…: http://youtu.be/cHxzE41VXC8

The_Kew_Tour

At least we know the club ain't in a drug culture I guess.

The injuries are annoying but not surprising now.

FutureGuy

So 5 of our 6 signings have suffered an injury already.

I think the scientific/medical term is lol fail.

Massive blow.

I didn't say you were. But there is a bit going around, which you can't deny.

I read what you said, it could be intentional, could also not be. Fellaini gets a lot of hate, his 'spit' on city.

irishfeen

Any update on DeGea?

Ordinary man

That gif of fellaini reminds me of when we're having a kickabout with little kids and 1 of them runs blindly after the ball and crashes.

He brings it on himself but I agree,the 'spit' thing was ridiculous.

Nothing beats the laugh of a regular Conspiracy Theory poster.

The Moldy Gowl

Fellaini was just imagining larry, he upset his feelings.

J. Marston

It wasn't even an elbow.

More of a forearm smash, to be honest.

Headshot

I cant recall a season that utd have been hit so hard from injuries. Its been awful.

We desperately need to buy more squad players going forward.

The Moldy Gowl

We have had 39 injuries since lvg joined. 1 injury every 3 days.

kryogen

It is impressive alright, for the wrong reasons of course, but impressive

Will I Amnt

Ah sure isn't it a pity he didn't break his nose and give them something proper to cry about :pac:

For Arsenal game:

Blind is out for sure.
Carrick is injured.
Rafael, Herrera and Falcao are not fully fit or back from injury.
Rojo, Jones, Evans.

That's the spine of the team out injured or not fully fit. With these problems it's really hard to improve week in week out.

Mitch Connor

we have a better team out injured than we have available. Brill.

beno619

Hopefully Blind isnt out too long but Fellaini and Herrera should be able to cope with Arsenal's midfield.
Our real issue is still the center backs.

NUTZZ

Current injury crisis;

Was there anything more about Blind this morning lads?
If this amount of injuries happened to any other club, I think I'd be even beyond the laughing stage - it's hard to believe, it really is.

I'd even say we will see Herrera as the holding player while Fellaini goes box-to-box.

CB is a disaster. Utter disaster. Injuries to the guys who cover the guys who cover our defenders.

Danny Welbeck will be chomping at the bit.

He tweeted that there's fluid on the knee & will need the swelling to go down so the injury can be assessed.

Not much just getting a scan today so nothing solid. Hiddink is taking the negative attitude and saying ligament,

God I hope its just a bad knock but we would never be that lucky

sky88

before the international break i really thought wed beat arsenal in a tight game but after the latest injuries its hard to see keeping arsenals attack out.

can only dread what the defensive lineup might be on Saturday

brinty

hahahahaha
we could have some fun predicting the start 11 for that game v Arsenal now...
I'll give it a go!!!

Lindegaard
Valencia-McNair-Blacket-Shaw
Herrera-Fellaini
Janujaz-Rooney-Di Maria
RVP

Amos, James, Fletcher, Wilson, Mata now i'm struggling!!!!!

Liam McPoyle

Wouldn't be too concerned with Big Dave not playing, it's only his little finger so stick a bit of tape on it and Bobs yer uncle.

Aye it's not his first dislocation of the finger, speaking as someone who's dislocated his knee 3 times...the first time is the worst and longest to heal!

So i'd expect the fit team to win based on having 11 players, but put Wilson in with the 10, for sake of argument, and its a fecking close run thing! Up front I give it to the fit guys, but that defence is looking shot!

This is the first one that made me want to cry, there was something really comforting about having him always available when others were out.

Ah man. I've done the knees 3 times as well. That is an injury that never gets easier to take.

pfffft, did mine on a GAA trip to Galway. Manger asked could I play on, didnt believe I was injured till we got back to Dublin and saw my knee. Did it a few times after until I got surgery to fix it, never found it that sore, just flick it back in place and get on with the day.
