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

[Mike Small]

I think we've been too cocky for our own good in this game. Coasting without much of a edge. We've given the ball away quite a few times and I think the fact that we are a much better team than United has got into our heads. Seeing Biss and Maupay constantly apologising to Fernandes, Shaw etc for fouls has been well...weird. Dunk still has that in him hasn't he. Thought he was a tad unlucky with Webster quite close.

Lets be clear though. United are rank and they're shit. 1 billion pounds?! WOuld love a draw now. Bring on Welbeck and Lamptey.

But this is the reason Dunk doesn't get picked by England. He's good, but not world class, and doesnt seem to be as good as last season.

Come on WD, you’ve seen this plenty of times before.

 

[Amexarmadillo]

We've thrown away a point against Man Utd and some people are acting like the world's ended! Frustrating yes, particularly with how poor they were first half, but let's have a dose of reality here.

Sorry but it was the way we’ve completely shift ourselves in the face. UTD did nothing themselves to be in front or have a man advantage.

Oh come on, if it was the other way you would calling for a red! Dunk fooked up and paid the price!

And you can guarantee that if it was the other way around it wouldn't have been a red.

 

[Farehamseagull]

Cant understand that the red card is even discussed, it is as clear as it gets. Elanga reaches that ball before Webster 100 times out of 100.

This.

Crap refereeing not giving the red straight away.

Disgraceful second half, the worst in years

I'd wait til the end if I were you. Are you always this premature? ;-)

 

[Bodian]

Maguire grabs Moder and pushes him to the ground. Townsend reckons it was both with their arms round each other!

 

[BN41Albion]

No, but those are exceptions not the CLASSIC rule! Reminds me of ‘93, we played so well that day and came away with nothing. Schmicel made a double wonder save that day too to deny us.

But that's what makes those clubs the top clubs ffs they pull results out the bag even when playing poorly because they have big name players. Of course the good results against the top teams are the exceptions!

 

[JC Footy Genius]

Man U have been so p*ss poor I suppose there is still an outside chance we could sneak something.

Except Dunk deserved the red!

Webster was covering.

He’s not currently as good as Dan Burn.

Well that was a great first half shame it’s not being carried into the start of the second half, I don’t think it was a sending off Webster looked most likely to get to the loose ball, but with the two subs on I think we could still sneak a goal

 

[B-right-on]

It wasn’t the ref it was VAR

No. It was the ref, VAR said to look at it. But Dunks feck up to put him in that position.

 

[R. Slicker]

Ooh, that was the 1st tim Elanga didn't throw himself on the floor.

 

[portlock seagull]

Yep, not as if Dunk not received more than a few red cards in his career.

 

[bhafc99]

I'm still baffled.

We were so so good for 45 minutes and we've utterly spunked it up the wall in the space of 9 minutes.

It's incredible.

More like 90 seconds.

Such a shame, after a really great first half, to now be facing an uphill struggle we really didn’t need to be.

Just felt we got a little complacent and casual, and wham bam we’ve paid the price.

 

[willalbion]

It was only his second game back. He’s been out for ages.

 

[Washie]

I think people are also forgetting that Elanga is faster the Webster.

 

[birthofanorange]

Complacency cost us, Such a relatively dominant first half does not equal a similar second.
Masters of our own downfall, here, sadly.
