    I forgot we'll be welcoming that delusional feck Frank. Hope we get battered all game then nick it with a controversial injury time winner.

    Good question! Why did I think Frank was Brighton's manager? How embarrassing. I blame the poster that put Frank's picture up and threw me

    I thought you were talking about Lampard, the blue colours and all.
     
    I won't be able to watch either for different reasons but how many will be skipping this one in favour of PSG-Madrid? I wouldn't blame any of you either.
     
    We scored in 18th minute against Burnley, only for them to equalize in 47th. Scored in 21st minute against Southampton, then they equalized in 48th minute.

    If we can at least be consistent then we should take lead tonight in 24th minute before they make it 1-1 in 49th minute of the game. Yeah, meaningless statistics, I know.
     
    I think the result is difficult to predict as Brighton are quite wasteful with their chances but I expect them to dominate possession and have more chances, hopefully we can take ours and they don't.

    Pretty depressing when you're expecting Brighton to come to Old Trafford and dominate :(
     
    Depressing to already know that the line up will not surprise us as we have almost no options anymore. Maguire as a captain will not be removed, Shaw will continue as Telles is just back from Covid. Mc Tominay will keep his position. I don't see how we can play without Pogba now ? Unless Bruno is benched, but don't see how Bruno can be rested since he's the one covering for Ronaldo's lack of runs....

    What I would like to see :
    With Fred for Pogba at 60th
    Lingard for Bruno at 70th
    Elanga for Rashford at 75th

    ----------------------------------------------De Gea--------------------------------------------
    Wan Bissaka-------------Lindelof-------------Varane-----------------------Telles
    ------------------------------Mc Tominay--------Pogba-----------------------------------
    Sancho------------------------------------Bruno--------------------------------Rashford
    ----------------------------------------------Ronaldo---------------------------------------------

    So this game isn't being broadcast on TV in UK.

    Yet, the kickoff is 8.15 so it doesn't clash directly with BT showing Champions League Games starting at 8pm.

    How pathetic.

    Listen to it on the radio. If it is not going well, you can just fall asleep....

    Also, BS this isn't broadcasted, annoying to clash with CL games which is why

    Didn’t know this wasn’t selected for tv coverage as the initial fixture which was postponed back in December was chosen for tv coverage. Thought the matches that were postponed and chosen for tv would still be broadcasted but oh well, can’t say I’m extremely disappointed considering the first 45 mins will pretty much be the only part of the game to watch.
     
    We'll play good for half an hour, they'll then boss the midfield because Scott likes to play hide and seek, while Bruno and Pogba can't be bothered defending. Maguire will make a howler and it'll end 1-1.

    Fred has some kind of a weird strat that when he plays, we generally win. There is something about this guy for all his so called faults, managers play him. Will be interesting if RR goes back to McFred tonight….?

    Definitely. He's an exuberant chap. 'McFred' might be a bit of what we need for the moment. At least they're familiar with each others game.
     
    I think the only change I’d make for tonight is put Rashford on the bench. He’s often done well as a sub this season and we are lacking any alternate, reliable impact players to bring on second half. I want something in reserve to freshen things up second half.

    We could either push Pogba up out of the pivot and play Fred in midfield, or we could simply start Elanga or Lingard.

    Pogba, obviously leaving at the end of the season, unless no one wants him at his asking price and he stays at United (please no), should not be starting.

    Will watch both, but can’t decide which I will watch live however :)

    Lingard
    Ronaldo

    Maguire should never be an automatic starter (probably no one should from this team anyway). He has been terrible and he should be dropped.

    although rashford has scored/assisted recently, i think his overall game as been below par again. Would like to see lingard given game time. He is still a united player afterall

    Very strange you want Lingard to start, rather see Elanga than a player who clearly wants to go and won't risk anything
