...I can't believe that we have Chelsea on Sunday 18th at 16.00 and then on Tuesday 20th is Leeds away in the Carling cup - surely 1 day's rest is not enough - I know that Utd have a squad and there will be rotations but this really forces the changes and of course Utd want to win every game and play the best available - especially against Leeds.
Leeds Game
posted on 12/9/11
This is where our squad comes in. We can field 2 teams, and be competitive with both
Chelsea -
De Gea
Evra
Rio
Jones
Smalling
Giggs
Nani
Young
Anderson
Rooney
Chicarito
Leeds
Lindegaard
Fabio
Jones
Smalling
Evans (if he's fit)
Valencia
Carrick
Gibson (Boooo!)
Fletcher
Owen
Berbatov
Obviously just an example, and I know Jones and Smalling play twice, but at that age, they can. If we could add Vidic, Cleverly, and Rafeal to that, and possibly Pogba, we're doing alright, and should have no excuses with the 1 day rest time

anyone know when Vidic is due back? would be good to have him for the Chelsa game
Welbeck may be back for the leeds game as well although I don't think its worth rushing him
I think Gibson is still out injured though

I agree its not much rest time but great for us fans! The squad looks great at the moment and I feel we are better placed now than any of the last few seasons to handle the workload. Some of our younger talent are like new signings.

We have started the season well and I have confidence in the current squad that people can be brought in to keep everyone fresh.
As for this game, I doubt it would matter if it was anyone other than the likes of Leeds, Liverpool, Man City, etc.

In all honesty I don't care that much about beating Leeds or not, it would be nice if we could but I would rather lose the game and not tire out important players than win the game and tire some of our stars out.
Stick some youth players out there with some back up players that will not be getting many games...

Would it be bad of me to wish he continued being injured? I'd rather we play Pogba or someone from youth team than Gibson ever again

i'm more excited about the leeds game than the chelsea one to be honest.

it a chance for the OLD players to get a run out & rest the KIDS.

it's a chance for a lot of old heads to get a run out off the pitch as well if you know what i mean...
