    Wouldn't have minded seeing what Dalot could do at right back. Can understand the desire not to meddle with a lineup that's been working though. Above all pleased that Solskjaer continues to resist the pressure to pick players (i.e. Lukaku and Sanchez) on the basis of prestige.
     
    Perhaps we're a bit too confident on this one. They're game raisers, and where due some drop points.

    1-1.

    10/11, thought Matic would be rested and Fred or Pereira would come in at RCM.

    Good team, let’s destroy these.

    No need to rest when you're only playing once a week.We're gelling together quite nicely, no need to rock the boat.

    Newspaper article in a Norwegian newspaper about Brighton fans being angry with Ole for "disrespecting" them since he said we should dominate. Small time cnuts will raise their game even more now.

    Mmmmm, this really does remind me of when Fergie was at the helm :drool:

    Makes a change from hearing the Toxic One blather on about how dragging this squad to a very distant second was the highlight of his career
     
    Agree with Ole, We shouldn't rotate. That's how you get consistency. They've had one week break anyway and you can always rest them on the 2nd half.

    10/11. Ole doesn't want to mess with a winning team. Can't blame him but thought Herrera might've made way for another attacker.

    Ole see Pogba as an attacker not a DM ;)

    Why are we due for losing points? We have had our time of dropping points early in the season. I expect a winning run of at least 10 games especially after beating Spurs at Wembley..
     
    Glad Sanchez is available so soon. I just keep waiting for his big moment in our shirt. Lost hope under Jose for him but everyone had a new chance since Ole took charge. Unfortunate with an injury the other week after a nice assist.
    Be like a new signing if he came good for us.

    3 points today, let’s go!!!
     
    Going for 4-1 United.

    Looking forward to this!

    There were big hopes of Dalot and Bailly being given starts, provided Brighton is obviously not a tremendous attacking threat. When should Dalot start then if even at home to Brighton OGS prefers Young?...

    How mad was that? Paul fecking Pogba playing DM! :wenger:

    I was thinking more along the lines of Matic on his own would be enough to handle Brighton. :devil:

    So DM
    Pogba is an AM. Ole understood that and it's time than the fans stop this stupid idea of Pogba playing in a midfield 2.

    Pogba is good and happy now, not because Mourinho left but because he finally plays in his best position.

    Why do you want to destroy him ?

    Pogba AM or on the bench ! And since he's our best player, he should always play there !:drool:

    There is no reason not be confident we are playing at home against fecking Brighton Moyes , Van Gaal and Mourinho has done a number on fans psyche to be honest.

    Yeah, I'm not the biggest fan but when he arrived I was hopeful he might be able to play in a three with Martial and Rashford - a hope that Mourinho successfully snuffed out within days. I appreciate what Lingard brings but I would like to see that trio given some time together playing in the new style.

    Don't forget Alexis on the left with Martial/Rashford perenially benched. Pogba replaced by McTominay. God Ole is a breath of fresh air. What a man! :drool:

    Jose making Jose decisions.

    Anyways enough about the past, we're gonna hammer these guys today with martial having a stormer of a game.. I just know it.
     
    No point in changing the team unless it is unavoidable, hopefully today will be a case of onwards and upwards. Hoping to see more of the same football from recent weeks and Sanchez to play a part at some point and become a big part of this United team.
    COYR.
     
    Dalot not starting continues to worry me but lineup probably spot on otherwise. Maybe Pereira for Matic so he gets some rest.

    If Dalot is expected to take the reigns next season he needs some consistent game so when can judge if he's ready
     
    We need to win this. Either of or both of Chelsea and Arsenal will drop points today. It will be fabulous for the psyche of the boys to get much closer to the top four.

    What? It's not as if we've gone on a 20 game wining run.

    Their (Brighton)away record is really poor.
     
    Will be interesting to see if we start with the diamond-formation we did against Spurs or if OGS reverts to putting Lingard on the RW.
     
    Not conceded a goal in open play since we got Ole at the wheel so let's keep that up, along with a 4th consecutive clean sheet and another goal fest.....footy's easy innit????
