Man Utd Thread:

[GJL]

Rooney out injured for tomorrow and reading between the lines maybe for a while..

"But at his press conference on Friday the United manager admitted the injury is 'nasty' and said the striker is likely to miss Tuesday's crucial Champions League clash with Wolfsburg.

He said: "Wayne's is a nasty injury. When we go on it's been getting worse.

"We have to let him train to make the ankle stronger, that's very important. I cannot say (how long) because the doctor shall decide that with Wayne of course. He is training well in the rehabilitation."

This is the moment that most have been waiting/hoping for recently.... but a part of me thinks 'be careful what you wish for' :-/

Who ever comes in can hardly do any worse? Opening for Herrara to get into the side?

Is he injured at all or is LVG being cute here? Either way I'm hopeful this will improve matters.

Lvg smart by saying rooney has a nasty injury.

Prevents the media onslaught for dropping the england capt.

West Ham are a decent team... Controlling a lot of play and should be at least 2 up!! Utd plenty possession but one shot on target by the Clown!

[stiffler]

Utd worth a few £ in play at 2/1.

Can feel a goal coming last 10.

[laoislad]

Ye should have played Rooney.

[Cunny Funt]

Ye should have played Rooney.

With no Rooney which player will be the scapegoat for this result?

[Boycey]

21 attempts, 1 on target

Carrick was the only one out there not padding his stats, he went to his strength which is passing to players going forward and although he missed a few that is going to happen, he was the most positive passer of the ball today, Memphis D was excellent for a change when he came on.

I am glad the fans booed them because they deserved it, sideways and backward passes are alright as long as there is a balance with passes being played through.

West Ham were fantastic at the back, well drilled and hard to break down, if anything they should have won this game.

Man u fans won't be happy with that today! But look at the results that have been happening week in week out in the Premier League. This season West Ham, Stoke, Leicester and Crystal Palace have been taking points off the so called big guns. Have to say for once this league is fun to watch!

And not forgetting the likes of Liverpool also taking points off the so called big guns.....

Arsenals to lose I feel.... But if Leicester have any sense or money left they should bulk up the squad after Xmas and give it a lash!!  What a story that would be

Was reading the wee match previews in the Irish News this morning and they show a W L D for the last 5 matches for each team. Interesting stats,  especially from the top 6 usual teams, which is good.

StGallsGAA must still be making his way home from Old Trafford.
