    Seems like you're just moaning..

    Who else would you play given our injuries? Or would you play a two man midfield with Pogba

    I said shows our strength in depth. McTominay is the depth considering injuries. He had a good game last game but we don’t need a good game we need a world class game. I’m happy for him to be a squad player but not a regular, just my opinion. He has been pushed in at he deep end too soon.

    I hope he proves me wrong.

    It is surprising, considering Jose hasnt gone with a back four against a team that play with a back three. Arsenal, Spurs, Chelsea, Swansea, Moscow, etc.

    Yeah, but the centerback's injuries and the Pogba situation hinted at this.

    Sanchez has played an awful lot of his career on the right. Barca, Udinese (arguably his best form) and some at Arsenal too.
    Whilst Martial largely struggles on the right. Martial could handle Moses, Sanchez would cause Alonso a massive problem.

    Of it could work the other way round too, but the player with the least experience of performing at RW is Martial.

    Fair enough, yeap could go either way. On paper, Martial can bully Moses, while I think Sanchez may struggle against Alonso. Alonso is one of the best players on good form this season. I rate his defensive ability that high. Sanchez is still not on a good run of form. Hopefully, Martial will reignite his January form.
     
    That's a good line up but still finding it hard to get excited for this game. It's that constant feeling that all we will get to see is dross and goofball.

    Edit: meant hoofball. (Damn autocorrect)

    Not for us sadly, or not yet at least.

    He should be doing better than one assist and a single goal from a missed penalty. You know our last few results would probably have been if he had scored more goals, right?

    Its a new team he's in and the players surrounding him are on poor form FFS. It's not like he set up Lukaku with a golden chance against Sevilla.

    If players were more clinical he'd have more to his name, and that's when settling into the team. He was also shifted on RW for a small period since he joined but it didnt work at all and was shifted back left. He was put central against Spurs too but had to drop back because of the steaming pile of shit in Pogba behind him.

    I don't know if you're suggesting from the bold part that us not scoring is down to Sanchez, because its laughable if it is.
     
    Any English rivers please? I’m not home and can only find Dutch and Thai! PM would be greatly appreciated.

    Not really. We have three fit centre backs, along with Darmian who can, and has played there for us.

    Pogba situation? What situation? Again, he played in a double pivot against Arsenal, and despite us vulnerable defensively, we were a threat going forward.

    100% this, its a joke.

    I'd hope that Young just plays gash so he has no choice but to play Shaw next game, but we already know that that doesn't matter.

    Jose's decisions really starting to piss me off.
     
    If Lindelof is as good today as he seems to be playing ice hockey we're onto a winner!
     
    Why is Atkinson the ref every time we play Chelsea? His biased towards Chelsea.

    Don't think, in current form, Pogba can play on the right of midfield two against Hazard.
     
    I like the line up today (other than the central defense). Not sure what the formation is going to be but it seems as though we can line up one of 3 ways. The first is most likely considering Mourinho's insistence with a 4-2-3-1 but I would prefer the last. Either way, Pogba won't have "as much" defensive responsibility because of 2 DM's in the line up so hopefully he can be unleashed today:

    ---------------------------DDG---------------------------
    Valencia---------SMalling------Lindeloff---------Young
    ----------------McTominay----Matic--------------------
    ---Martial--------------Pogba---------------Sanchez---
    ------------------------Lukaku--------------------------

    ---------------------------DDG---------------------------
    Valencia---------SMalling------Lindeloff---------Young
    --------------------------Matic--------------------------
    ---------------McTominay-------Pogba-------------------
    ---Martial---------------Lukaku---------------Sanchez---

    ---------------------------DDG---------------------------
    Valencia---------SMalling------Lindeloff---------Young
    --------------------------Matic--------------------------
    -------------McTominay------------Pogba--------------
    -------------------------Sanchez------------------------
    --------------Lukaku-------------Martial---------------
     
    Very important games for both managers in my opinion. Not that mourinho is under threat of being fired, but the fan base is getting agitated

    Since we've only won 1 of the last 15 games against Chelsea (Chelsea have won 7, drawn 7 or something like that).

    Oh, shut up! Trying to be positive, you come in and make me cry. It will be 2 in 16 today.

    Young at leftback, Lindelof vs. Morata and Martial potentially playing on the right are all valid concerns IMO but I'll wait until the game starts to make any judgements.

    I know, but think if we have Rio and Vida this place will say same things. So much negativity.
     
    This is Pogba and Sanchez best position on the pitch. Hope to see them put on a good performance and compliment each other. Martial on the other hand; if he has another poor performance on the right, his future at United will be in doubt.

    Alright lads! If you're going to play shit today, can Jose at least deck Conte so I've got something to be excited about. Thanks

    And wear a bald wig while doing it, so that later he can claim it was satire or something.
