Good job we don't have Anelka, Torres, Dossena, Carroll or Diarra looking at that list or we could have a full XI on physio room!

All four of the missing players should be available either for our next game or the weekend after. Get in.
Wonder if he'll play 3 at the back when everyone is back, or whether he'll go back to his regular formation. If that's the case 2 out of Sakho, Toure, Skrtel, Agger are getting dropped.....

Huh?, the 4 coming back don't replace those you've listed.

Johnson coming in means one CB gets dropped if we play 4-2-3-1/4-3-1-2

If he the wing back then either Moses/Hendo or Lucas make way

That's one of the 4 listed.

Yeah and that was obv what he meant innit. Formation change means people being dropped.

Johnson back will be ace.

There, I said it. Someone had to say it.

 

[Red Mullet]

I guess I'm reading it too literally but a formation change usually means a personnel change, no?

I'm expecting good things from Johnson now.

That's what happens when you try a reach around on Moyes when he is jumping up & down on the Old Trafford bench

[article=http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2448243/Marouane-Fellaini-injury-Manchester-United-fans-backlash-club-announce-seven-week-absence.html]Manchester United midfielder Marouane Fellani could face surgery to solve a wrist injury and could be out until December.

The £27.5million summer signing missed Saturday's 2-1 Barclays Premier League victory over Sunderland and visited a specialist in Manchester before being assessed by medics in Belgium.

He will miss his national side's forthcoming World Cup qualifiers against Croatia and Wales, and up to two months of United matches in the league, Capital One Cup and Champions League.

But when the official Manchester United Facebook page posted the news, the reaction was hardly supportive for the Belgian.

The post read: 'On Saturday, news emerged of an injury to Marouane Fellaini that could keep the striker out for at least a few weeks... Join us in wishing Fellaini a swift recovery...'

However, some of the comments left underneath the post were far from positive and it didn't all relate to him erroneously being called a striker.

One said it was 'good news', one was 'actually happy he is out' and another said it was the 'best thing that could of [sic] happened.'

Others went further, with one calling him the 'worst signing in all of Europe this summer' and another opining that 'we look better without him.'

Manager David Moyes admitted at the time the wrist ligament damage 'doesn't look good'.

'He's going to see a specialist,' said Moyes. 'It doesn't sound too good but we'll wait and find out on Monday.'

Fellaini may need to wear a special wrist brace when he eventually returns to action.[/article]

Edit:
Q: How does a wrist injury prevent Man U's 'top' and most expensive signing this season from playing?
A: He uses his hands to stop others from playing.... if he cannot stop others, he simply cannot play...

He needs it for pushing his opponents in the box during set pieces...

The signing hasn't turned out well so far. Fingers crossed it carries on this way.
