Thing is hazard isn't fit, yet we keep putting him out there. I see no reason why he's playing today other than to make sure the media does not think there is a spat between mourinho and him. If he's not fit, let him sit and play youngsters.
Which is why we should be playing youth in games like this. They might not be perfect, but they'd get valuable experience and be looking to impress. You can't tell me brown wouldn't have gave as much as salah did that half.
That would be valuable playing time though. It isn't a given van gaal will play someone like mata in the starting xi in the league. This could hurt him.
