The XI I think Poch will choose...

Vorm
Toby Sanchez Verts
Tripps Dier Dembele Davies
Eriksen Dele
Kane

My Attacking 433/4141 XI...

Vorm
Tripps Sanchez Verts Davies
Dembele
Eriksen Dele
Lamela Kane Lucas

A little more solid XI would replace Lamela with Dier and move Dembele and Dele forward.

All the negative reports in the media regarding Mourinho and Pogba could be in our favour. Brighton did a fine job against them and we're better defensively organized than Brighton so maybe a cheeky 1-0?
Not necessarily, that result could be the wake up call and consequently up their game to our detriment.

Why would you bring Winks into a huge away game like this after not playing for properly for 6+ months, and drop arguably our player of the season so far in Alli.

Because as I said before, its my team. No need to justify my selection

Would be nice to get an idea behind your thinking though mate.
No need to post your team selection either especially if you dont want to explain or discuss it but you did.
Dropping Alli would be fkin dumb imo but each to his own.

Lloris

Aldewiereld Sanchez Vertonghen

Trippier Dier Rose

Moura Eriksen Alli

Kane
Got to go at Man U. Expose that weak defence. High tempo from start.
Lloris stays in for me.
I'd play Rose over Davies but dont think Poch will. His pace will throw their defence into a panic and stop their rb bombing forward as be too scared.
Dier over Dembele. Hmm tough one. Poch will probably go with Dier and Dembele can always come on later.
Rest picks itself.

I think Poch will pick Vorm - if Lloris missed training on Friday because he spent the night in a police cell I cannot see any other outcome. Other than that it's the same side as last week with Dembele set for another cameo from the bench.

Vorm
Toby Sanchez Verts
Trippier------Dier------Davies
Eriksen---Dele
Moura
Kane

Subs: Gaz, Aurier, Rose, Dembele, Winks, Lamela, Llorente​

They're basic questions about a team you've posted. No need to get all defensive. The majority of us cannot fathom why you'd include Winks for Dele when Dele has started the season so well and is bang in form and Winks hasn't played for nearly a year. Just interested in your thought process. If it's as simple as I think Winks gives us more control in CM then that's fine and is your opinion.

Actually it's only half that, he was injured in February, six months ago.

I'd not be totally shocked if Gazzaniga gets the nod, just to counter their aerial threat at set pieces if Fellani starts

Why would you do Dele when he's started the season in top form?

Its against Manu so I decided to go three at the back but also wanted to strengthen the mid field, hence Winks alongside Dembele. That would leave atm of 2 from Moura Eriksen Lamela and Dele, I chose Moura as he now adds something different and Eriksen as he always does well against Manu. It was close but I decided to sacrifice Dele by making both him and Lamela as impact subs. So no @slartibartfast I dont think its quite fkin dumb

Obviously you dont think its dumb.
Just everybody else lol.
Seriously though, I dont give a crap.
Who cares?
Sure somebody out there, probably Poch, would start with Sissoko :eek:

If we go with the four at the back, does Poch leave out Sanchez for Toby?

Would go against his principles. Toby probably isn't going to be here next year.
