Does Caf like the lineup? I need to assess my expectations accordingly.

I do! I think that's our best11.

Last time we started with a sexy attacking line up, we lost at home to Sheffield. Knowing our ability to take advantage when other teams drop points - I'm a bit scared about the outcome of the game.

bosnian_red · Apr 4, 2021

Extremely attacking lineup. Going to be a very open game, Brighton will definitely have their chances. Fred next to Pogba doesn't fill me with confidence that it'll be safe enough, but hopefully we outscore them.

Andre Kagawa · Apr 4, 2021

Great line-up! 2-1 Brighton.

I think it’s hilarious that you have to shoe horn everything into a tragedy story about how the club is run. Lighten up a bit.

Eh? I barely ever comment about how the club is run and when I do it is largely balanced...

Having a tactical criticism is fair enough, but to say "they do not have the stomach to do something" is just silly at this level. The whole point is to develop the players, the results are always secondary. We should be applauding the fact that the coaches take this approach, not criticising it.

Maguire and AWB have been okay. They have weaknesses sure, but they have not been disastrous signings like Sanchez and Schweinsteiger etc. Only VdB has really been poor so far and I say so far because it is his first season - he can still very easily turn it around. James was just a punt and has shown in recent weeks that he can do a job. Sometimes you need those players.

Rubbish software, rubbish logo but to be fair, it is a sign of the times though, so can't really complain from United's point of view.

Maybe you should lighten up a little?

10/11 had James in fer rashers.

Pogba and Bruno start together looking forward to some sexy football.

BHA starting with 3 defenders and none on the bench

Uniquim said:

Three defenders is a bit strong in the BHA starting XI, None on the bench' IT'S DIABOLICAL.

SirAnderson · Apr 4, 2021

Feels like its been a month since we last played. Haven't watched any footy since our last shambles of a defeat. Hopefully they do the business today.

International break, getting injured in foregone conclusion games like Kazakhstan vs France...

Get well soon Tony.

Cavani will have to stay fit for the rest of the season now. Oh dear :lol:

Still a fantastic striker, but his injury record this season definitely requires different adjectives.

AjaxCunian · Apr 4, 2021

Despite all the moaning recently, very excited to watch the the guys. There is more than enough quality on the pitch for this to be a good match, both sides.

laughtersassassin · Apr 4, 2021

That team needs a DM in place if Fred. Then we getting somewhere

Roosney · Apr 4, 2021

That XI looks pretty exciting.

SuperiorXI · Apr 4, 2021

After some type of uplift tonight after a bad couple days, come on United stick 5 past them.

Vidyoyo · Apr 4, 2021

Wasn't going to watch but as Lindelof is back I think I will.

Why's Ole letting the players know 3.5 hours before who's playing?! Surely keep it until an hour before so everyone stays focused and mentally prepared.

I got 9. Thought he'd go with De Gea and that Lindelof was still injured.

Me too, and I didn't realise Cavani was fit to start either.

DWelbz19 · Apr 4, 2021

Tend to play a bit shite after an international break. Hoping for a change

DWelbz19 · Apr 4, 2021

mental, that. Both ways.

Crustanoid · Apr 4, 2021

Please don’t cock this up, boys

Random Task · Apr 4, 2021

That's gotta be the strongest eleven players we can field right now. No excuses, we have to get the 3 points.

Incredible run of games from Maguire. He deserves the utmost credit.

gerdm07 · Apr 4, 2021

I'm glad Henderson kept his place. DDG can be the cup keeper.

Surely he ranks up there with fastest to the 100 appearances. Even so, incredible from Maguire and seems to be putting in his best displays recently.

RedTiger · Apr 4, 2021

Just once, please put bottom feeders away after an international break.

calodo2003 · Apr 4, 2021

Anyone have a good...?

Man, the next season should be make or break for him. He's been disappointing, to say the least this year.

r3idy · Apr 4, 2021

Shexy Football time.

Thought he would have gone back with DDG but fair play to Ole sticking with Deano

Cheers mate. I just hope that we win, I'll take any win.

Brighton won't sit back. They'll come out and play and they'll give up chances. Pogba and Bruno should get plenty of joy.

Andycoleno9 · Apr 4, 2021

Not happy with DDG benched because he should be our no1 but the rest is our best lineup. I expect good football today.

Classical Mechanic · Apr 4, 2021

Nice team.

He doesn't really deserve to come straight back in on merit though.

Why should he be no. 1? Cos of his wages or his 2018/2019 form?

Walters_19_MuFc · Apr 4, 2021

Keeping a close eye on Ben White.

Good to see Welbz.

matys · Apr 4, 2021

I, for one, think we'll win this comfortably, nothing spectacular, just a solid 2-0 performance

Amadaeus · Apr 4, 2021

I will be surprised if we play better football than Brighton today. Of course we have a 100x better squad, but the difference in managerial philosophy between Potter and Ole is like night and day

Walters_19_MuFc · Apr 4, 2021

Caicedo on the bench. Wonder if he'll get some minutes?
