No LAL

Happy Friday guys and gals - I hope you are all well.

Instead of the usual LAL article, I thought I would try leave them alone today, even though things over on the scabby side aren't looking good. With Mario Balotelli having a sly dig at Brendan's tactics as a reason to why he hasn't scored yet. However, we'll just brush that aside and move on..

Today, I would like to discuss Monday's game against West Brom.

According to PhysioRoom, we have Smalling, Jones, Carrick and Young (who cares about that ) back from injury. I was hoping Herrera would be fit, but it seems he'll miss this game, and return for the Chelsea game when we should be getting back a fully fit squad.

What's your team for Monday? Score prediction?

Do you agree with Mario?

He hardly gets injured at all.

====================

I think he is recovering from his second injury in just over a month, and he will need to play at 100% in every game, so I'd rather not risk him against west Brom. I think we could cope without him.

He's recovering from a rib injury that is unlikely to be aggravated if he's deemed fit enough to play, and the last six years of his career would suggest he doesn't get injured easily.

Our midfield options still aren't that good. He should start. West Brom away will be a tough game. They've given us tough games for a few years now. We need our best players. Not Antonio Valencia.

There is nothing more I'd like, than for you to prove me wrong DTKF.

We'll have to wait and see I guess.

Hopefully he'll play and we can get the win. We need these players to play as many games as they can together to gel as a team.

Agreed. I have more concern that we don't have a definite back four atm. I don't think they are as bad a s people make out, but there is arguably too much competition for the CB position to have a settled starting 11. Hopefully LVG just picks his 4 in this game and sticks with it for the next few after that.

Yeah I agree.

Shame Jones got injured really. He was looking good at the start of the season.

Mæstro

Your obsession with Liverpool is rather OTT, oh and Balotelli has scored for Liverpool.

My obsession is banter based. Although this article failed.

Well I have seen it and he speaks well. He even says Van Gaal needs time like he needed time and he hopes he gets it and compares SAF start to. The problem Moyes had was we were champions with a settled team. Van Gaal has managed to change the squad and is trying to omplement his philosophy already. I didn't see Moyes strategy as nearly every game we struggled to score more then one goal. Van Gaal is not scared to make subs like Moyes said against Newcastle he was scared to take RVP off thinking of what the crowd would think I personally rather see us lose 1 or 2 games heavily but win the majority then just lose by the odd goal or draw then win 4-0 like Moyes reign.
