14th in the table as things stand

We do have a silly number of players unavailable to be fair, Say my Name

You could argue that all of Rafael, Shaw, Carrick, Smalling, Rojo, Herrera would have started today if eligible.

And then there's another new player coming in, in Daley Blind and hopefully we'll get one more on top of that as well.

We've been awful true.....but we've had rotten luck with injuries as well.

No excuse not to beat Burnley though

On paper we should be top of the league right now

is rojo going to actually happen. If not we are fooked at the back after tomorrow

SSN said earlier today that Rojo's agent is confident he'll be available after Int break.

Eduardo Vargas is still waiting for his clearance too for QPR. Similar waiting time to Rojo.

Both will get it. Just takes time.

The defence really isn't the issue.

The issue is having two inept wing backs and one of the worst CM players I have seen in a United shirt for some time.

I agree with you on the wingbacks and CM

Although I still think we're short of one top class CB too.

VC

The back 3/5 are certainly our problem.

Evans is just hopeless and I dont think Jones and Smalling are much better tbh.

I agree with you that having lightweight static dummies like Fletcher in CMF exposes our defence greatly but Im not sure that the addition of the likes of herrera and Dimaria is going to stop the likes of Evans playing like a cretin.

As for the wingbacks..Blind Shaw Rafa or whoever they are going to be will have to be able to defend a lot better than Young and valencia do.

So you don't think the central defence which can't play the ball along the ground isnt an issue?

We haven't played one team of decent quality yet, well see what our CDs are made of when we do,

Don`t worry fellas, LVG will be gone long before Xmas.

Question is can we hit the dizzy heights of 19th 2nd from bottom like 07-08 season before we play on Sunday in 2 weeks time?
