Im surprised actually by the amount of injuries United are getting. I also get that bad luck can be a factor when it come to injuries. But I don't remember one as bad a this under any previous manager. I remeber that under Fergie Carrick filled in as a CB a few times, but injuries recently are affecting all other areas on the pitch at the same time.
Does anyone really care about the league now?
For me it's all about getting as many players as possible back for the final and hoping for the best then.

There is such a thing as bad luck. During my time supporting them there have been injury crisis under every manager.
Also I don't believe ETH has much input, we have a trainer after all, and Erik will have other things to do.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
That is true, we also have a very soft bunch who are mentally and physically weak which does not help matters. ETH is no doubt demanding, but what can he possibly be doing that no other coach is doing in training that can lead to many (the typical usual suspects) to be pointing their accusatory fingers at him for being a causal link to injuries?! There has to be many reasons at play, pre and post workout prep, nutrition, recovery and the medical care (or lack of) the players are receiving. It's crisis level to suggest one factor at play, it's now so bad we should be reviewing every aspect of the club.
We must be the most unprofessionally run sports club in the game.

Oh, okay then.
Think it's part to the reliance on CBs for our play.
They have more possession than thebrestbof the players. Even Onana has more possession than our CMs. ETH is a joke, and his system is bull crap.

So, our CBs are getting nose bleed from the hours they spend on the ball even though they are used to hoofing?
If that was the case why don't all possession based teams have similar injuries, especially to their CBs?!

Not a single left back or CB available and we've only been playing one game a week for months.
The Manager, all his coaches and the entire medical team need binning. Get rid of them all and start again.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This isn’t new. We’ve had a defensive crisis every other season for a decade.
Xrap anyway. Good riddance.
Hes been one of our best players since Christmas
----------------------------------------------------------------------
That just tells you how poor our defence is that old maggy has been one of our best players. Well actually, that just tells you how poor the entire team is really.
To be fair to him he's overcome a lot of criticism and I always respect a player who can do that, but it doesn't stop him being a mid table player at best.

You forgot the playing staff. 80% of them need binning too

Hadn't forgotten them. That will happen too.
However unlike the manager and his team who you can replace all at once.....you can't sell or release 80% of your squad in one summer. It's just not possible. So I'd start the rebuild this summer with 30-40% of them being moved on if possible and then next summer do something similar.
One thing is sure is that if Brailsford is serious about making Marginal Gains at United in every facet of the club he's going to find it facking easy not to succeed.
