Didn't the rags sell all of their strikers in error (That's some error) and they had to play him because he was the only one left?

No, they had an injury crisis.

Ah, but the rags are not a sacking club.

Saw bits & pieces of the second half, but the first half of United was very tight and compact. Probably one of their best defensive performances this season. Some unlucky bounces saved City from their counterattacks and it could have been worse than 0-1. But it was kind of expected to tire eventually, read that both Rashford and Evans carried an injury and in normal condition wouldn't have played at all. The number of injuries many top sides around the leagues this season is worrying, Liverpool, United, Barcelona, and Bayern all ravaged at some point.

City & Arsenal have been luckiest in that term and it shows that they are doing good and contesting for the titles. We'll see if Liverpool gets some of their players back now or if they have to rely on kids longer.

I loved ETH's Ajax & I was quite buzzing to see what he could do in United, but this season has been so tough. I don't follow them in depth so I don't know if they have a plan now on how to prepare better for next season, but they need some quality additions and figure out how to outcome the injuries.

This 'care in the community' idea has gone too far.

both Rashford and Evans carried an injury and in normal condition wouldn't have played at all.

That sums up Ten Rags tenure at Old Scaffold, he selects and plays half crocked players and then cries about having a squad decimated by injuries because he over plays them.

Shaw injured for 3 months then plays for 11 full games on the trot then broken again for the rest of the season.

Being hungover after being on the piss in Larne the night before isn't an injury.

Well, I take my hat off to Scruffy Jim. Originally he bought 25% of the rags. At the weekend I saw a paper state it was 27%. Today the Telegraph are quoting 28% . Give it 2 months and he'll have taken over the club without spending a penny.

Government is going to pay for the rest.
