No Anderson
Got a knock in training, he technically wasn't ready those few weeks ago either according to the previous reports from Fergie and what he said at the time.
Got to keep old Billy K in the rolexes and limos, of course.
Rested? I'm suggesting this is a warmup formation
Slightly OT but anyone remember what the badge on the sleeve was for on this shirt

He looked a lot more ready than Scholes did last week. Frustrating that all our positive midfielders get injured leaving the sideways masters. Also is there a midfield in the world less mobile than Scholes and Carrick?

You're as bad as Nickg with his Smalling up front with that one aren't you
Come on you have to admit that most of Scholes and Carrick's passes are sideways or backwards, nearly all of Scholes were sideways when he came on last week (including the sideways one to the City player for their goal)
Nothing is going to make that look good. I will of course reserve judgement on that first 11 but i suspect a very hard to watch cringe worthy game >.<
Not surprising is it?
Carrick hasn't been bad lately if we're honest, I guess Scholes is Gibsons replacement as the scapegoat along with Carrick. Let's just watch the game.

Carrick hasn't been too bad but he still looks terrified if anyone closes him down, and the last thing he needs is someone slower than him alongside him. Carrick looks fine when someone like Anderson or Cleverley plays with him, but Scholes or Giggs? Trouble.
It's hard to think of a reason other than Fergie's favouritism for why Scholes has come back in and started/come on when he is way off match fitness, even Giggs would make more sense.

I cannot ****ing wait for Lucas to be back and fit.
But then Giggs has been playing quite a lot lately, so perhaps isn't fully up to it either.
At the end of the day we don't know what's gone on in training, if Giggs has looked a bit tired with playing so much etc. If we had Clev & Ando fit and he was playing Scholes then it'd be a bit suspect but it's not that far fetched right now.

Agree. Spearing has done a good job filling his shoes, and hopefully will continue to do so, but Lucas is different league. Adams has fallen to pieces with himout doing the dirty work.
On a positive note for a change.
Its interesting that some of our best youth prospects (Sterling, Suso) were doing the warmup with the first team today in full playing kit , despite not even being on the bench. Great to see our youth players more closely integrated these days
Nope Carra doesnt need Coates to help him do that, Carra can get an own goal and give a pen away by him self
