United's injury crisis last season...
rather than continue the unseemly thread hijack by some of the more uncouth members on the dailly transfer thread i thought this should have its own place, where it is allowed to fester and rot into an sticking mess of faded hopes and dreams, mixed with rabid frothing bile - a stinking @#%&! soup floating out into space and time, a drifting vortex of endless disappointment and regret, maybe even heading towards the distant constellation sextonius contemptuous where it shall sit like a capsule of other-worldly dread in contempt forever...
wrong thread indeed... funny that a simple matter-of-fact has people crawling all over it looking for deep and meaningfuls though ... united had one of its worst injury crises of recent years last season. at times up to 15 players from the 1st team pool were unavailable. 12 different novice youngsters from the reserves and u18s got to play for the 1st XI in february alone. will keane was not the manager's solution. he made 2 substitute appearances and was injured in the 2nd, never to return. any connection with rashford taking his chance is merely a coincidence. one advantage rashford's phenomenal start had on lvg's options was it allowed him to take depay out and still play with 3 forwards during march and april. |

each week, given the players available, van gaal made wrong choices. every manager has to deal with injuries - they are judged on how they cope, not what challenges they face. his main problem was his inability to pick a midfield. consistently. that wasn't down to injuries, but stupidity.
soz to inform throb. he's gone (way too late). let it go. we have a whole new @#%&! to worry about. |

On the Keane thing, it seems to be forgotten that it was about a month after he came back that he made an appearance for the first team, and that was off the back of him scoring for fun in the U21's, including a couple of belters. The progression to the first team was probably as much a reward for his work since his return as much as him being ahead of anyone in any pecking order.
I'm not sure why he was brought back, probably as much because it wasn't going that well on loan as it was to bolster the first team, much like Januzaj. |

Wondering what might have been is so much harder because his ability to organise and find solutions for the second season running with a massively flawed group was evident. He will forever wonder how things would have turned out with another striker, though. |

Terrible run of injuries, but have we not had injuries in the past and coped ok?
Giggs and O'Shea in midfield was made to work by a great manager. Louis couldn't get his lads to play in a £#%&!ed up league. End of the errand. The Southampton home game was sickening in its shitbaggery and that's when I knew he had to go. No amount of injuries can excuse that sort of failure. |

Injuries have been £#%&!ing ridiculous for the past five years at least. Maybe last season was the worst? ... not much in it. Amazing how players declare themselves unfit for their own convenience when things aren't going so well and suddenly come good when an international tournament comes along for them to add to their resume. RVP, Schwein etc
