Bet he is a rare silver on fifa 17
Yes because generally when you have a player playing well for the past month and a half, or in form as I said, the team generally has a better chance of winning.
Why is this such a complicated idea to you?
Because your idea of playing well isn't mine, he has been back to his drab old ways for last few weeks. Against Sunderland it was like playing with no striker because he was using his special trait of constantly dropping deep leaving the defenders with no one to mark or not worry about runs off their shoulder.
Obviously they were shaken by losing Rooney and De Gea in a span of few days. This team is just weak mentally. I've already said after Moyes got the boot, that losing Evra, Rio, Vidic and Giggs all in one window is going to backfire. There's nobody left there who can bring the hammer down. They tried to fix the issue by bringing Bastian, but he got injured - while fighting for a 50-50 ball in a meaningless game. Take notes Mata.

Were you reading LVG's mind or was he reading yours?
'It is the law of Murphy. When you start the game and your goalkeeper is [injury] number 14, you're not starting like usual,'
'A lot of things are happening in the heads of the players. The first 10 or 15 minutes were not so good but after that we came into the match, scored and could have scored more.'
'I think that, in certain phases, we were not organised. But that happens when you play with another team every week.'
We play the same drab snooze-fest way no matter who plays, so why are the injuries even that important? It's a small picture inside a larger one.
The lack of leadership we've known about for ages now, literally multiple seasons, so we bring in one guy and expect it all to change? Schweinsteiger that is.
Lets wait another 5 months to get all these players back and have another 1 year of longevity under LVG just to realise that all these players were bang average or poor in this system anyway. It will make no difference whatsoever.

Of course injuries are massively important.
What? Injuries on the scale of what Utd have right now can utterly destroy everything. As a lifelong Everton I know exactly how injuries can disrupt everything-we lost Arteta in his prime and we suffered. And that was with 1 player. We lost a few we were stuffed.
If you lose a key player your playing efficiency can plummet. Lose half your squad your in the brown stuff without a paddle and depending on how long they're out for, that's the season potentially wrecked. 13 players out this point of the season? Even I have sympathy for LVG because that's just a sickening list

You think we'd be any better under this clown with these injured players who we've already seen in this system and have mostly been bang average or invisible just like the ones out there yesterday?
I don't really have any sympathy because I know we'd play the same way no matter who is in the team, the only advantage is with youngsters they show more eagerness due to wanting to impress. Everyone else is utterly invisible or has been poor under this system.
If we actually had a manager who was getting the most out of these players and playing the type of football that would do that then obviously it's a different story.
But right now, the injuries is just a side problem to the main one which is getting rid of LVG, he should of been out of a job long time before now.
You could easily argue that 8 of them 11 players that played last night were viewed at starting 11 material beginning of season.
Smalling, Blind, Carrick, Herrera, Martial, Memphis, Mata, Lingard.... he started this first game against Spurs this season so why not?
So this team is now not good enough to beat a team that has not played since December?

If you don't see how 14 injuries can be massively disruptive, there's not much more to be said

The whole core of the team was missing yesterday...just take a look at the subs, it was like having a pre-season game to give u18s some game time.
Injuries aside, I don't think LVG survives this week.
I think we're arguing two different things here, I'm saying in the grand scheme of our problems LVG is more of one than the players he has available or not available in the case of injuries, because he's getting the best out of none of them.
Aston Villa, the bottom and worst side in PL acted on their manager after 10 games, what the **** are we doing?

Asked whether he watched the match, Powell told a news conference:
"No, I completely forgot - I was playing FIFA, if I'm being honest.'
'I did read the reports and, I don't know, it’s hard. They're under pressure because the gaffer has come out and said [winning the Europa League] is the best way to qualify for the Champions League next year.'
'They've had so many injuries, with Wazza going out and David was injured before the game.'
'But there's no excuse. They should have won, but that's just the way it is.'
And this guy played 21 minutes in our crucial CL game against Wolfsburg.
