No Rooney, Carrick and (to a lesser extent) Valencia = Utd are sh1t.
Though most importantly of all...no Fergie!!

United will be 8 points off 4th in a few hours
I think both the two performances by us and Man Utd, against Saudi Sportswashing Machine, shows we're definitely in a better place than them at the moment. They're not very good at what's often derided by some, that's possession , control of a game .
Very comfortable for the Magpies. well done to them .
Yes, Krul made a few decent saves while still at 0-0, but it certainly wasnt anywhere near the number he made at WHL
So...
Pardiola?
if they lose either or both rooney for a consideration of time they will be in massive trouble.....
Very under-rated to me. Wasn't Greg on here a few weeks ago saying he should be sacked?
Brutal. They look about 15 points behind recent par, which is massive at this stage of season. Ouch.
Considering the cover they have for the attacking positions in Rooney/RvP and then Welbeck, Hernandez, Kagawa etc I think Carrick being out could actually be worse for them. Has been close to an ever present for Ferguson I think and is a fantastic player imo. Should be one of the first names on the England team sheet and should have been for years now.
This. Carrick is the heartbeat of their midfield, a bit like he / Modric used to be for us.
@Squawka: Man Utd completed just 284 passes passes today. Saudi Sportswashing Machine completed 348. How badly do they miss Michael Carrick?
