    Really happy with the lineup! Loss incoming based on this.

    Agreed, he's looked absolutely shot for a while now and its reflecting on his perfirmances over 90 mins

    That post would have had made more sense in January, but he’s been very good for most of Feb and early March.
     
    Respect to Jose for the lineup. Let's hope they perform.
     
    Based on recent performances , this is right call from Jose. Both Pogba and Sanchez were calling to be benched.

    I am sure Brighton will be praying for these two be substituted in asap.

    Not starting few matched does not mean we are going to sell them.

    Yeah great, our best two outfield players (on paper) left on the subs bench, thick end of £1 million per week playing like they haven't got a clue, personally I'd be questioning how the shiny toys are currently broken.

    Exactly.

    People enjoying seeing the manager failing to get the best out of his marquee signings. People should be worried rather than celebrating this nonsense.

    These guys came to us as proven world class players yet they're struggling to even look half competent.

    I remember seeing Hazard looking like a fraud under Jose and I'm sure it wasn't fun for Chelsea fans.
     
    Be interesting to see how this new singing section works out, which is where the away fans ordinarily are. Hope it hasn’t just cannibalised other parts of the ground.
     
    Looks like Houghton has done the same as Sevilla in striker terms. Leave the finisher to come off the bench and go for work rate to start the match. Let's just hope the game is won before Murray comes on to Ben Yedder us..

    Matic is being worked to the ground. Could Carrick not have started?

    Good point. He's hardly been rested this season. Prior to the last few games, even Matic was getting some stick about his performances.
     
    Freezing tonight.

    Question: Are you not allowed to play wearing jogging bottoms? Or, wear some yoga pants or something under your shorts? Surely the chances of injury increase in this cold weather?
     
    Why has Zlatan been frozen out? He isn't injured and these kind of games are perfect to give him minutes. Terrible decision to give him a new contract if he isn't going to play.
     
    Romero makes me less optimistic than I was. Still the team should be good enough to beat Brighton. It's Brighton.

    Didn't Memphis wear something like that?

    :lol: Wrap them up in cotton wool and put helmets on them while we're at it

    V good point re Hazard under Jose.
     
    Come on! Saturday evening, horrible weather - could become a classic. Let's get the job done!
     
    A pitiful 7/11. Nothing but a convincing win will do tonight. Come on United!
     
    And in these conditions the players might be standing around a for 5 minutes while the ref makes a VAR decision.
     
    used to love playing football in this kind of weather

    one thing is for sure - the pace will be quick as the players will want to stay warm
