If he doesn't start Vinicius then there's no point in signing him
We were told he was Mourinho's first choice signing..
He's proven that yes he isn't Harry Kane but he's a good quality ST and he's a real number 9. We need to play with a real number 9 especially with Jose's crappy football.
Bale should probably start but god knows whats happening with him
Blatantly not happening but
Lloris
Aurier (dont care if he fucked off at half time) / Dier / Rodon / Davies
Sissoko / Hojbjerg / N'Dombele
Bale / Vinicius / Son
If Bale is fit enough to play every Europa game and every cup game, hes fit enough to play in the PL, hes a professional footballer for fucks sake on a bazillion quid a year

Dier no way he deserves another chance. He needs benching to take him out of the undroppable mode he probably thinks his in. No point having a squad of you don’t give others a chance when the play in possesion of the shirt is playing crap.
Being 'fit' for EL and cup games is one thing, the PL is quite another.
I want to see Dele and Sid. Please
If Vinicius doesn’t start I just have no idea what to say
Reset after 19 games so shouldn't do
It’s worked brilliantly before
I get the feeling José sees Son as a forward so is likely to play him up top instead of Vinicius. I don't mind that idea too much as it's worked before, but Son is a little off form so I hope that if it's not working out Mourinho makes a change early enough to give Vinicius a fair chance.
I'm hoping we see Rodon and Toby at the back for this one. I think Rodon has done pretty well so far aside from his mistake on Thursday. Toby is still our best CB despite his loss of pace so they should be a decent partnership.

Can anyone remember what it was like to look forward to a game? 2 years ago I’d have been upset with a Sunday evening kick off. Now I’m just glad it gives me time to do the shopping, walk the dog and cook dinner. And not have too long to stew over the performance before bed.
We’re playing Brighton. Surely we can be brave enough to play possession based footy? Put them under the kosh from the off. And keep them there.
I’d really like to be a bit less invested so I could take or leave watching a match. But even when we’re putting on an absolute shit show I can’t switch it off until the final whistle blows. (Or leave the ground if we’re EVER allowed back in)
I think I may need

I reckon this is an opportunity to play a game the way the supporters want. Dominate midfield, not give it to the opposition.
I would replace Lamela with Bergwijn but other than that I think that is what I would like to see.
Bale in the middle reduces the amount he should have to run and he does have the passing ability and smarts to potential set things up from there. If he is as lazy/immobile as he has been that does potential leave us a bit vulnerable in the middle but hopefully PEH can clean a lot of that up.
We are going to have to try to get something more from our midfield and Winks/Sissoko/Lamela/Moura don't offer us anything in that regard. Bale might not either but he by far has the most chance to do so, so worth trying it out especially against Brighton. It it isn't working Jose can always bring on Winks or Sissoko in the 2nd half to try and eke out a 0-0 draw.
*IF* Vinnie gets the nod he needs to be more aware of the last man. Far too often he was culpable of drifting offside against Wycombe. Personally speaking it became quite frustrating to watch.

Expect these to get the ball wide with March attacking our weak point Doherty, so could see Sissoko on to cover there.
Fully expect to see the team below;
Lloris
Doherty Rodon Toby Davies
Sissoko Hojbjerg
Lucas Ndombele Bergwijn
Son
Then when chasing the game, bring on Winks for 30 minutes, Tanganga for 25, then Bale for injury time.
Brighton haven't won at home so far this season, which worries me a lot more than it probably should.
