Honestly feels like he's trolling at this stage. Who wants to watch that fking lineup?

 

[FerociousCorgis]

You know he played for Arsenal right? They haven't played good attacking football for several years now. They were a dysfunctional team last season that was bailed out by Sanchez over and over.


Arsenal attacked twenty times better than this lineup would create. If this was our usual starting lineup i wouldnt bet on this team making top 4, or hell maybe even top 6.

 

[Santoryo]

And those talking about punishing Martial and Rashford for having a poor game are having a laugh. Majority of our players have poor games in plenty of games and don't get punished.

Martial and Rashford are some easy target for Mourinho nonsenses

 

[Canagel]

It's almost as if Mourinho is a bit of a prick.

Mourinho is simply a very dishonest person.

Its devoid of logic.

Do you know what infuriates me even more? He doesn't give Martial/Rashford chances with the rest of the main team but only chucks them in with the mediocre players like Darmian, Fellaini, Rojo. The minute we actually play our best team they don't get the chances. It's like being deliberately set up to fail. Anyways let's hope to be entertained. Which sounds difficult but we'll see what happens.

 

[Sterling Archer]

Pogba was as shit as anyone else in that game. Why is he starting currently?

I don't have it handy but my response is just that gif of Rashford not passing to a wide open Martial.

 

[reddaz71]

Martial and Mata rightly not starting,in case you have not noticed they have both been anonymous on the pitch when picked as much as off it! Sorry to break it to you Martial and Mata fc.

 

[Annihilate Now!]

Objectively, that looks like a naff lineup...But hey, let's see.

 

[charlenefan]

It is crazy that we are at the end of the season and we still don't know what our best 11 is. fecking shambles

That's just not true is it?

De Gea, Valencia, Smalling, Young, Matic, Pogba, Sanchez, Lukaku

Only debate is who's the other CB, extra CM or a number 10 and who plays on the right

 

[stu_1992]

Well that's an interesting line-up... Clearly he is still giving chances to earn places with a line-up such as that. Hope for some sort of performance after the last game.

Spot on. He knows what he is doing. Mourinho out!

 

[Litch]

I'm not bothered with 3 games left. Whatever decision made about the team for next season has already been done and irrespective of who plays now doesn't mean they are staying or leaving. Let's get the point and secure second.

 

[BusbyMalone]

Really interesting line up that. Fascinated to see how Sanchez and Lingard play up front together. Both have good movement off the ball and should be a handful for the West Ham defence.

 

[3KDré]

Feel sorry for Martial. Works his arse off to get into the lineup, gets benched. Comes back and one of our best players in every game he plays as well as one of the most productive then earns player of the month before being benched. He's never allowed to get consistent game time even when he's proved he's one of our best players, is very creative and one of our most clinical.

 

[mancan92]

Jose is so frustrating. Martial in a two upfront has shown to be great. Will he give him a go. Nope

 

[Damien]

That's just not true is it?

De Gea, Valencia, Smalling, Young, Matic, Pogba, Sanchez, Lukaku

Only debate is who's the other CB, extra CM or a number 10 and who plays on the right

It is true, and you answered it with the second bit in bold. Knowing 8 names from 11 is not knowing our best XI.

ive made this point several times now, wholeheartedly agree. Only time either starts lately seems like we have the whole scrub bunch in with them. Then once they struggle everybody zeros in mainly on martial, as rashford gets a bit of a pass usually. Then they are back to bench until we get the scrub bunch back again. Seriously we only see darmian when martial and rashford are in. Oh look here is the corpse of blind in. Rojo has barely played lets throw him in there too. Mata hasnt been seen in months why not throw him in there. Then they all look like they havent been given any instructions and have essentially been told to go figure shit out.

 

[breakout67]

De Gea, Valencia, Smalling, Young, Matic, Pogba, Sanchez, Lukaku

Herrera and Lingard are obvious choices.

The only position up for grabs is the centre back next to Smalling.

 

[Gbenger]

As a spectator maybe. Chile aren't qualified

He said he’s benching Bailly (who is not going to the World Cup), so that other defenders going to the tournament can get play and get called up.

Sanchez is obviously not going to the World Cup but Martial might go if he get enough chances to play. Why is Mourinho not helping him?
He does not even need to bench Sanchez for Martial. Just play Martial as Striker since Lukaku is out.
After all, Martial did not dissapoint him when he was played as striker in the Everton game which we won.

Mourinho is even more hypocritical than I thought. I don’t think I would ever warm up to him.

The lies, hypocrisy and double standards exhibited by him are things I would expect from someone like Trump.

 

[Santoryo]

The logic is pretty simple. Jose wants Martial to agitate for a move so that he can move him on without getting all the blame

And then few years later when he's at some other club and get asked why he sold Martial from United he'd claim that he never sold him but the club did it.

That's the cap he's been saying about Salah and KDB. He's blaming Chelsea for selling them when he's the one who pushed them out of the club with his treatment.

 

[In Rainbows]

Martial and Mata rightly not starting,in case you have not noticed they have both been anonymous on the pitch when picked as much as off it! Sorry to break it to you Martial and Mata fc.

Now if only you could apply that logic towards other underperforming players.

 

[charlenefan]

It is true, and you answered it with the second bit in bold. Knowing 8 names from 11 is not knowing our best XI.

It's only true if you subscribe to having 3 positions up for debate as a shambles

 

[Gbenger]

I don't have it handy but my response is just that gif of Rashford not passing to a wide open Martial.

That’s for Rashford.
What's your explanation for Martial being benched?

Before you start, know that Pogba did a lot of stupid things in that game.

 

[FerociousCorgis]

Now if only you could apply that logic towards other underperforming players.

shit if that was the case we would be lining up with ddg in goal...annnnnd thats about it haha.

 

[Sassy Colin]

Good to see Shaw starting, would have preferred that we persevered with him when he was playing earlier in the season.

 

[KM]

It's only true if you subscribe to having 3 positions up for debate as a shambles

What the hell man? Ofcouse its a shambles if you don't know three players in your favored XI?

 

[The holy trinity 68]

Rashford and Martial have been pretty crap lately, so being snubbed should spur them on to try harder and to improve to fight for their place.

 

[Wednesday at Stoke]

Do you think that deserve to play? The loss was against newly promoted Brighton. It is also pretty known that playing well gets you within a chance of starting the FA Cup final, especially if Lukaku is out.

The opponent makes a difference for me. So Im fed up with them . Because they can and should do better .

Even if they weren't good, what are you getting upto by playing Sanchez in a dead rubber game? He's 29, a proven quantity. I'd like to play the players I want to know more about by giving them playing time.

Rashford and Martia had poor games, now play them again and see how they respond. What's there to lose?

 

[AshRK]

Well, lets see how will the JMFC end, when he spends 100+ mil this summer and does not win anything big again. The end of the past it cheque book manager FC is nigh.

I dont care which FC at the end stays as long as the real FC that is Manchester United FC succeeds.

 

[RedDevil@84]

Herrera and Lingard are obvious choices.

The only position up for grabs is the centre back next to Smalling.

And what will be our best formation? 4-3-3? or 4-2-3-1 or 3-5-2? Does that keep on changing depending on who gets injured?

 

[Nick7]

can't argue with martial or rashford not starting. they were woeful in the last two games.

 

[Sassy Colin]

Pogba was as shit as anyone else in that game. Why is he starting currently?

By that logic, we should make 11 changes for this game

 

[King.of.Red]

surprising line-up and 3-5-2 formation. who cares about rashford and martial. they deserve to be dropped. well, can't wait to watch our team. let's beat hammers!

 

[Drifter]

As he lost control of the dressing room again. Any way a measly 5 out of 11

 

[mu4c_20le]

lvg'esque

Martial was one of our best players just a few days earlier and changed the game against Arsenal. Lingard for eg has been dogshite for a few games now and hasn't made any impact but gets the nod over him. It just boggles the mind. People saying martial doesn't deserve to play because of the Brighton game well what has Lingard done to deserve the start then? It's just tiring now but I'm going to support the team now and hope to see something good.

 

[charlenefan]

What the hell man? Ofcouse its a shambles if you don't know three players in your favored XI?

City have 2 positions that aren't nailed on, who's the CB with Kompany and who's the CF Jesus or Aguero?

 

[breakout67]

And what will be our best formation? 4-3-3? or 4-2-3-1 or 3-5-2? Does that keep on changing depending on who gets injured?

The same set of players play multiple formations throughout the game.

Formation is not particularly important, rather it is the players and tactical instructions.

 

[FireballXL5]

Hope I'm wrong, but this has all the makings of a snoozefest.

 

[Water Melon]

I dont care which FC at the end stays as long as the real FC that is Manchester United FC succeeds.

I am with you on this one mate. However, my understanding of success is either PL or CL trophy. Hopefully, we win one of those soon.

 

[Gbenger]

By that logic, we should make 11 changes for this game

Yes, because the guy who quoted me said they were being benched for being shit.

Your statement only proves that the rule is ridiculously stupid.
