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

[Ding Dong !]

If TB wants to be top 10 he is going to have to open his wallet for a top class striker, it really is that simple

Got it in one !

 

[WATFORD zero]

Maybe it's just rose tinted spectacles, but I'm pretty sure we didn't used to get this excited/upset about the Football Combination pre Amex

 

[MJsGhost]

But this wasn’t entirely ‘our second string’ was it?

Dunk,
White,

Burn ... to be fair.
Veltman ? Supposedly a pound shop world beater...

...

Maupay,
Trossard.

We’re miles off a top ten club. Miles... we’re another two towns down the road ffs.

GP picked a side he thought could win.

Should that worry us?

2 starters from our 1st XI.

No, it shouldn’t worry any rational adult.

 

[Albion Dan]

I thought we did well, just lack the final ball and a bit a quality in the penalty area.

Yep that important requirement when it comes to winning matches.

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

Basing that on one game? World cup and multi trophy winner Paul Pogba you mean? And unfortunately for him he was up against an absolute genius talent in Alzate, not Dale Stephens anymore. He is brilliant, one of the best in the world.

Unfortunately for him he’s had really poor managers in his second Utd spell.

Couldn’t do it against Stephens either.

Can’t handle it in the hardest league in the world. Couldn’t do it first time around under Fergie.

Stephane Givarch (?sp) has a World Cup winners medal as well (France 98), means he was in a good team.

All fur coat and no knickers.

Not if you have an ounce of common sense.

Well, I am worried.

Not least re this weekend, with several first XI players now crippled in the confidence department.

Great stuff.

A master plan indeed.

 

[vagabond]

So in short, the bed wetters are genuinely upset we’ve lost against Man Utd twice. Oh, and billion euros Chelsea.

What do you guys actually expect? You seem to think we should tonk top 4 teams?

You really need to get a grip.

Agree we weren’t at our best tonight, but it was mostly second string. Your reaction is ludicrous.

and also deja vu on deja vu

Pitiful and predictable limp display. We can't even play a tight game against a bigger side now. Its three goals or more every time....0-3...1-3...0-5...1-3...2-3...0-3...and all at the Amex.20 goals in the last six home games v the big boys. Always excuses about bad luck and how the game changed on small margins etc. Reality is...our new found style plays into their hands. I can see us getting minimal points from our 12 games v big six this season ( and that is virtually a third of the season )

Yep we are getting hammered time and time again by the big boys...

And still potter doesn't do anything about it.

Juan Mata needs to get away from United. He won and delivered the free kick for the goal that forced the pattern of play in the second half, then he scored the goal that settled the tie. Then the two idiots commentating spend the rest of the game going on about how Pogba and Rashford's introduction made all the difference.

Shame to watch Bernardo have a game to forget, poor touches, misplaced passes and then let Van Der Beek go for the second goal. He didn't make a case for himself at a time when we are still rumoured to be after another LWB

Member how EVERY season people judge a team by their performances in the Carabao Cup and how every season they have no bearing at all on the league?

I member.

Newcastle almost lost to Newport, Wolves lost to Stoke, Leeds lost to Hull, we lost to mega bucks Man United. All in a cup no-one will be able to attend the final of anyway in all likelihood this season.

Move on, we've played bloody well in the league games so far and have had a hell of a lot of praise in the media for it.

If we continue how we've started we'll be absolutely fine this season and surely cause a few upsets along the way if we get the rub of the green for once in a game like last Saturday's.

Hughton made the Amex a fortress. Potter’s Amex record is shocking!!

Actually it isn’t great is it......

But then his away record is better I would think

Seems crazy we are conceding so many cheap goals and we have probably the best defensive defender in the whole league out on loan to me. Funny old game, football.

 

[Steve in Japan]

Molumby has looked decent and thought Ali was good when he was on. Not many others to take positives from. Burn, BernaNO, Dunk, White, Veltman,Gykores all poor.

Yup, those 2 not bad, happy to agree. I don't give a monkeys about the Caribou camp, but I do want us to turn up and give it a go.

Tonight was a damp banger. A rolling over. **** that, its a bad habit to get into.

 

[Farehamseagull]

Over 50% of you on here are laughably pathetic. Potter and Ashworth are the two best things to happen to this club since Bloom. A League cup result (b side vs b side) doesn’t change that.

THIS.

 

[Uh_huh_him]

The commentary of that Pogba free kick was laughably poor.

They’re just so desperate to drool all over him. “Majestic” and “work of art” - what the hell? It was a shit free kick going several yards wide until it took a deflection.

Looked like a deflection and then in off the post.

Hardly majestic.

Irritating twats

Our captain and the new Costacurta hmmmmmm sure; its not a drama that two of our key defenders have just been made to look average by an average Man Utd and consequently will be devoid of confidence for the ‘little’ game at the weekend.

Brighton 0-4 Bournemouth

“A fortress”

That is true.

Gykores is not the answer. And I doubt Zeqiri will be either this season.

You won't get a la carte shopping in Lidl.
