Hopefully we can get through the Bolton game at the weekend with a patched up team then see how we go after the international break. I read that Park may play some part on saturday which will be a big positive for the midfieild aswell as Anderson being a few weeks away, as for Rio any team would miss a player like him but with the way Smalling has progressed he's more than capable of covering for the rest of the season. No news on Vida yet and that is one player we can't afford to lose long term as he's been a rock at the back this season.
Went to the game on tuesday and apparently the cameras missed it but not long after Hernadez was booked Heinze got a few niggling kicks in at Chico so the next time he ran at him caught Heinze square on the jaw with a well placed elbow. Heinze spent the next 5 minutes moaning constantly at the linesman.
Was a cracker of a game that was almost ruined by poor officals there was some nasty challenges on Carrick, Brown and Valencia that all went unpunished the Valbuena tackle (if you can call it that) on Brown being the stand out.
