Treble_Winning vs The Manchester United Medical Team

What on earth happened to Rashford? What manner of illness has afflicted him? With the kind of modern facilities and medical team that United have got, surely some precautions could have been taken against illness? Diet? Nutrition? Vaccinations? Boosting their immune systems?
United to eradicate illness and diseases :lol:

People get sick, it happens.
 
Have you ever actually played football at any level?
Injuries happen, it is a contact sport.
I think you are going way over the top with trying to blame somebody , Jones is a physical player we have always known that.
Where does the reckless come in to it, nobody know how the injury happened.

Yes Jones is a physical player. But his physicality should be directed at opponents during games and not his OWN PLAYER. Especially not during a period where we have many important fixtures with 3 trophies at stake - and already knew that Zlatan was suspended.

Do you know how the injury happened?
 
The last few pages have been extremely amusing and it's all down to one poster :D

You think it's amusing that some stupid nonsensical events off the pitch might possibly sabotage our season? We have a chance of winning 3 trophies this season and we needed to have the best possible conditions to do so. It's not amusing at all that we have to play at Stamford Bridge in a knockout game with zero strikers.

It's your view of the events that is most amusing, not the events themselves.
 
Sounds a bit too aggressive for a team in average form and depleted of strikers considering that we're playing the champions-in-waiting, away from home and the history of this fixture. Don't you think?

History doesn't matter. Form doesn't matter. League position doesn't matter. It's a cup game. We should attack and seek to unsettle them. An early goal is what we need. Shatter their confidence and overwhelm them, cause them to panic under pressure, and then methodically take them apart. I like the suggestion of going with an attacking approach. We need to try and blow them apart with wave after wave of pressure.
 
If we are going to lose then it should be because of performances of those on the pitch. Not off it. Have they done every single thing possible to give the team the best chance of winning? That's all I'm asking and I think the answer is no.

You're absolutely correct, we shouldn't accept injuries in any circumstances. Simple as that. Of course if they instead of training just stayed at home between matches, they might be all fit. I mean, Rooney-fit, not Valencia-fit. Then again, you can get injured at home, too, no matter how careful you are.
 
You think he went out to injure his own player !!
Thats it I am done. :rolleyes:

No, I don't think that. I don't think Jones is a nasty guy. But he may have done it carelessly and that is what is annoying, he could have been more careful. Especially considering what was at stake. We can't risk injuries at this point of the season.

Sounds like that final scene from the Lord of the Rings where the armies of Gondor marched up to gates of Mordor and Aragorn whispered "For Frodo" before he went hell for leather. 10/10 would view again

My view of the events is simply that Man United should try to give itself, as a club, the best possible chance of winning games instead of self-sabotaging. If we lose the FA cup due to events off the pitch it would be a total joke.

Only if it were that easy.

I often wonder why pundits like to bring up history, as if it has any effect on the outcome of a game in the present day. How does a loss to Chelsea some 10 years ago affect the team's chances today? Totally no relevance whatsoever.
 
Rashford is a bit influenza prone, come to think of it.

And that is precisely why I think the doctors should be doing a better job at dealing with his immune system, perhaps give him a vaccine or something. If a problem has taken place repeatedly there must be a root cause that can be addressed.

I can't accept this shit, a club like United needs to do better. We don't see the Chelsea players falling ill or injuring each other do we? This is amateur bullshit at its worst! If we lose, this striker crap will surely be a major reason.
Rashford is trembling and quivering uncontrollably in a bunker near Carrington. Won't come out till Jones goes away.

So you want our players to take it easy in training?

Have you thought of the possibility, that they indeed have, by training intensely making sure they are ready for the fight tonight? Sometimes, when doing that, players could hurt themselves. If they trained with the priority of avoiding injuries, I'm pretty sure we would be doing nowhere near as good as we currently are.

When we are

1) experiencing a very packed schedule of important fixtures at the business end of the season, and

2) already missing Zlatan due to suspension, and

3) can't really afford to have injuries

Then YES, by all means, take it slightly easier!

Train hard, train well, but train safely and carefully!!!!

Based on my experience, when you go easy to 50-50s, and try to avoid injuries, that's when you tend to get injured. Not fully supporting your ankle, going into a tackle with a "weak foot" etc.
 
Treble Winning posts are unbelievable , is he serious or a wum ?

Expecting the club to prepare optimally for games at a crucial time in the season is "unbelievable"?

We are on the brink of 3 trophies, if we lose the FA Cup and the Europa League due to shooting ourselves in the foot, would that be okay then?

What is unbelievable is that many fans seem to have such low standards for the club, and some have suggested that they have already accepted defeat before a ball has been kicked. THAT is unbelievable.
 
Of course not, the players are big lads and professional athletes. But this kind of nonsense simply isn't up to scratch for a club with aspirations to win three trophies this season. It's not good enough. If this costs us the FA cup it would be a joke, a case of self sabotage really.
Ok, I get it now. You're trying to lighten the mood before the incoming storm. :lol:

It doesn't work that way at the top level.
 
I'm pretty sure i read that Jones was not to blame for the incident.
People can get injured at training without any contact.
I doubt Mourinho dress them up in armour and an axe, and tell them to fight for their spot.
 
Ok so how come the Chelsea players aren't falling ill? Why aren't they injuring each other? Why is Costa not going to miss this game as a result of being injured by John Terry?
because he is not a reckless idiot like Phil Jones. Basically
 
Very valid point and thread. Personally, I think Jose needs to explain this in his next presser. There absolutely must be accountability for shit like this and heads need to fecking roll. Its absolutely not acceptable that someone just randomly falls ill before a game, the medical department needs to answer for this shit. THE FANS WANT TO KNOW!
 
It's time to stop joking and get serious. The stakes are very high now at this point of the season. We need to do everything possible, I would hate to lose the FA Cup and Europa League and so would you, no?

Yes, I would. I would also "hate" if our players trained with the mentality of trying to avoid injuries.
