Manchester United v. Watford

We have no recognised central defenders now apart from brown. god help us.
 
HT - We need to score 2 in the second half to secure a win

And ffs not Rio!
 
I wouldnt bet on it - even if you had a relatively severe tear in the groin you could still walk.


my point exactly but i have to believe with how he jumped after it appeared he was hurt that this is precautionary. Prob felt a twinge and SAF didnt want to risk it.

At least i fecking hope thats the case or its as others say score more then the other guy because we are truly fecked
 
And why isn't Cathcart playing?

Is this like Theo Walcott at the world cup? What's he doing on our bench if he's not going to play when we lose a defender?

would you fecking calm down?!! You are getting on our nerves ffs! not everyone on the bench needs to be used. They are there for a reason, and the manager knows what he is doing.

This is an one off game so we need to put our best foot in, Cathcart can wait till we already finish Watford off!
 
Anyone know how long groin injuries usually take?

One. Billion. Years.


Decent half, but why are we only scoring when we have to? I can understand that the boys are conserving energy for Sheff but c'mon, lets get two or three up.

Rio is for sure out of Tuesday's clash IMO, and probably out of the Boro match as well. Hopefully, it is minor and he can recover in time for Milan. Brown-Gabby looks shaky. :nervous:
 
feckinell arc at some of you on here,oh god wer'e fecked rio is injured we will get nothing our season is ended.He got a twinge in his groin ,hardly broke his leg or soming.
 
Just hope he was taken off as a precaution, we can't afford to lose Rio at this point of time.
 
Rio's injury will keep him out for a minimum of 3 weeks. Groing injuries are worse than hamstring injuries. Although we have both Brown and Heinze who are central defenders, they have not played as a partnership before, so it is bound to be shaky. It's really sad that both our first choice central defenders get injured at the same time. I just hope this won't ruin our end of season. We'll have to soldier on with whatever we can.
 
At least i fecking hope thats the case or its as others say score more then the other guy because we are truly fecked

If ever a team's set up to do this, it's United. Still, fingers crossed for Rio. Maybe Vidic will be back earlier -- he's made of the kind of stuff they use for suspension bridges, isn't he?
 
Good first half. Typical cup semi. Watford and their long ball tactics always cause our defence problems. Our attack is creating a good few chances, with excellent movement.
