[Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs Manchester United *** Official Match Thread ***

[junior]

The kids played a blinder today.

Very frustrating player though. Lacks end product.

 

[Steve Foster]

FFS Solly. Clear on goal again. Bloody useless at times

Encouraging thing here is that we are creating chances this season. Last season we played well but didn't create much. I know hitting the woodwork doesn't earn points but the signs are encouraging. Can see Utd getting a third on the break if we aren't careful but I can also see us scoring. Good game

 

[BBassic]

Been the better team bar the few minutes leading up to their second. One of those days.

 

[London Irish]

That was shit from Solly. Shame as he’s had a fine game. But missing like that is not “luck”

 

[jimhigham]

Need to learn how to hit the target

For all the flair on display this is the elephant in the room. We've only managed to score from a penalty despite carving out so many opportunities.

 

[PersianNYer15]

Really should have done better there

And again....

 

[TottonSeagull]

Throw your head at it Solly

For the same reason we ended up down the bottom of the league last season despite dominating game after game!

We've totally dominated and been better team against 2 top 6 teams and will likely get nothing.

Of course many will see those performances as reasons to be optimistic about our seasons chances
The flip side is we won't always play as well, and injuries and suspensions will bite at some point. We simply must improve end product somehow.

The what ifs need to be banished.

That's schoolboy from March. For anyone that doesn't think we need a LWB there's your evidence. Solly has played really well today but his finishing isn't good enough

 

[Hugo Rune]

To all you Solly lovers.

He has been brilliant.

But we need a left footed goal scorer like Sessegnon to put him under pressure.

 

[Originunknown]

Wow how are we behind.

Trossard and Solly could have had 2 each at least.

 

[junior]

March has cost us today. A bit more composure from him (or Trossard) and we'd be winning this. Why did he just take a wild swing at that? Decent header and thats in the back of the net.

 

[FatSuperman]

Jesus Wept Solly!!! He's been brilliant but it's driving me nuts this finishing

 

[The Wizard]

Unbelievable ref, blind.

 

[Hugo Rune]

Textbook ref today!

FFS!

 

[LamieRobertson]

Clear corner kick even I saw that in real-time F off ref

 

[Uh_huh_him]

**** OFF!!!

 

[The Wizard]

Oh **** off Maguire

 

[Mayonaise]

Detest Maguire
