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

McAllister has real quality though, his first touch is sublime

Brighton usually seem to lose on the odd occasions I get to watch. I'm watching tonight. All my fault I'm afraid, lads.


Sorry!

 

[Grombleton]

Connolly is starved of service
Propper is poor tonight
Montoya is...a liability.

Bit of a shake up needed in the 2nd half.

Outclassed - but that goal was clearly offside. VAR not working?

I wonder if we will get an apology?

 

[Solid at the back]

Shamefully disappointing. Connoly up top on his own, really doesn't work. We need to wake up because with the games coming up we need to becareful we don't waste our GD

Embarrassing display

I know. And I don't generally aim criticism at the ref and his United assistants

I never like these dodgy experimental formations, the midfield is all over the place. Nobody knows their job. Sometimes you just have to keep it simple.

In what world was starting Bissouma out wide left and two of the slowest midfielders ever to grace the Premier League start in the middle seen as a good idea?!

 

[oldboyroy]

Training session for them isn't it

 

[vagabond]

GP will change things up at half time, expecting a few subs

 

[TottonSeagull]

Why hasn’t Potter changed it around? Showing the tactical nouse of an asmatic ant at the mo!

**** me you're a miserable bunch this evening . . . I've just come in after a first band rehearsal for 5 months, in a GOOD mood . . . . We look ok

Problem is, Manure look terrific, extremely fast precise football . We're still in it, and have shown a few glimpses. . . .

This is just one of those typically modern football mis-contests where a clubs keeps spending £100m’s on proven internationals and crush all before them. Their advantage, money. ManC always brush Brighton aside with ridiculous ease, I don’t know why some Albion fans get a boner when Guardiola’s lot visit. Complete mis-contests.

We managed to beat Manure when they had a basket case of a manager, hated by key players.

Betting tips - put money on them to win the Europa League, money talks.

United are looking good, and consequently we we need a bit of luck, like a ball miles over the sideline being called out or Shaw being blown up for being way offside

You know, the sort of luck where an official gets it right when things are going against you

Even the guys doing the fake crowd noises on Sky Sports Main Event have given up.

If you try really hard, you can *just* about make out the crowd noise, occasionally

Meanwhile the players’ shouts are turned up to max.

Burn was keeping him onside, look at the grass lines on the pitch. We deserve to be 2 nil down, but how the hell that lino didn’t see that ball was out... such poor officiating.

Was he though? From what Sky showed I couldn't tell. For most of the season it seemed to take 2-3 minutes to make those decisions

 

[Luke93]

Only 30 mins in and yes, playing verses a very good United side. But today’s selection from Potter has been a shocker. Irrespective to hindsight, why pick 3 players out of position given the quality on the bench? Even if you want to freshen things up and save energy verses Norwich, they were other options. I don’t agree with writing off tonight’s game if that was the thinking too.

Like to be able to agree but havent seen that myself tonight looks a pace slow

 

[SoggyCabbages]

Should have started Murray I reckon, can hold it well and let wingers run onto it.

 

[Seagull58]

Shaw clearly offside and the ball went out of play during the build up

 

[willalbion]

Too deep, too passive - Man U are looking very good but is that them or us letting them play?

 

[Super Steve Earle]

Strange team selection. Strange formation. Strange system. Playing like strangers - no surprise there then! One of those Poyet night's when you look at the team and just wait for the first goal against.
