Manchester United vs. Wigan Athletic

Ravel hasnt been playing for the reserves. Guess he is injured too.
Wouldve liked to see Cole on the bench. Or Pogba.

Not that it matters. They probably wouldnt have come on anyway
 
As something completely crazy, put Gibson next to Evans and play Carrick in midfield, it's not as if Gibson can do any worse playing in defence than he can in midfield. I'm sure Fergie's putting him out there to score a goal, put in a show, bump up his transfer value a little and perhaps tempt someone to come in for him...

Gibson will probably stay this season, particularly since Fletcher's on sabbatical and Pogba's leaving well before him, oh and no transfers.

I'm just shocked that Ferguson has moved Carrick to the back after what he said about Carrick being fantastic in Midfield and having a stretch of games to show that he can step up and be our main man.... then he shoves him back in defence. What's the odds of him having a bad patch of form after this? It's like Rooney a couple of years ago... "we've been unfair to the boy playing him in different positions and it's only fair we give him a good run in his favoured positon - as a striker." next game..... Left wing.
 
Berba brace and hernandez goal. 3-0, very odd team selection mind. We could and probably should be using these type of games to reduce the goal difference between us and shitty.
 
i think for those complaining about carrick being moved back, do keep in mind that we lost both smalling and jones today with vidic already out for the season and rio is not fit for today. was there really any other option?

Ferguson knows how to improvise, perhaps he thinks Carrick's distribution from the back will help Jonny Evans, perhaps why he's put the faith in Gibson rather than Fryers.
 
Ive never understood team rotation, if the teams not broke dont fix it in my opinion, it only disrupts our form, especially players like Rooney who dont want to be rested and rely on form for goals.
 
Gibson will probably stay this season, particularly since Fletcher's on sabbatical and Pogba's leaving well before him, oh and no transfers.

Gibson's contract expires after this season and then he is gone, his transfer value is next to zero.
 
Just with regards the bench, looking at how the team, and how many injuries and illness we've now got, whilst it's a little shock we haven't got Pogba on there, it makes sense perhaps to have more "senior players" as such as the first priority are the points, and with the constant gripes about how poor this one is, Fergie perhaps wants back up if it fails.

what a better to get an extension and ergo sale, than to play him in Darren's place? I know Cleverley, Jones and eventually Anderson will all be back but the injuries are still persistent.
 
If there ever was a game to convince Fergie that he has a future at OT, now is the game for Gibson.

Less than 40 starts in nearly 7 seasons tells me this is his lot at United
He can expect to play in low intensity games in and around a load of fixture pile ups.

I'm not surprised ferguson has gone seemingly mental today but I'm surprised that Rooney is a sub given his little patch of form!
If we win he's a genius if we don't he will be scrutinised.
Business as usual!
 
Our team of unavailable players might beat the available ones, if we can have the hung over Rooney on the team:

Smalling Vidic Rio Fabio
......Jones Fletcher
........Cleverley
Young Rooney Anderson

Maybe to get a team ... Rio in goal, Jones in defence, Bébé midfield/upfront Rooney :lol:
 
Stream me up, bisnatches.
 
If Sammon scores against us we should just pack it in as a club altogether.
 
gibson out there today........
