He really is a clown, isn't he?
I got into a similar discussion the other week, he telegraphs EVERYTHING.
One of the first things van Gaal will ensure is that we now might have to waste an early substitute and plan accordingly around Demichelis also having to play on the right.
I do concur that there are times when its best not to reveal to the press the exact state of play on individuals however his 24 minute spell and how it came to an end was there was for all to see.
It's always part of the game that players attempt to size out suspect parts of opponents bodies legally or illegally and sometimes they get away with it uncarded sometimes they don't.
I don't think the bloke in red some now call the thug will take a flying elbow into Oti's calf on Sunday but he may stray a kick or two in his direction which he would have done irrespective of MP's brief.
