Onuachu was super impressive tbh. He is 2,01 meter tall, strong as ****, but surprisingly quick feet for such a big guy. And hard working. Might be worth following, he's only 21.
Rooney has had 1 good month out of 6, yet we try to convince ourselves that with him in the side this 1 game would of been better?
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?
WTF even APOEL (Cyprus Champions) easily beat Midtjylland in the 3rd round of CL qualification.
14 injuries or not this is, erm, ******* ****!
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.
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?
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
