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

[Swansman]

United pretty good unfortunately. They have so much pace everywhere on the pitch. Pressure them and they will run behind you, let them play and they will run past you. Just like in November they show that 19/20 United are a nightmare to cope with for this team and its certainly not easier now when they've added Bruno Fernandes.

Want Montoya and Stephens out in half time, bring on Mooy & Maupay. The game feels pretty lost but weirder things than randomly finding a 2-2 result has happened.

No discussion whatsoever that the second goal should have been disallowed. What a crock of sh*t Sky is. If that had been our goal rather than United's, they'd mention it for sure.

I’ve just been screaming that at the tele too but really, what were we expecting? Impartiality?!!!

 

[The Wizard]

The setup has been a shambles, the team selection was poor, we’ve shown no intent from minute one, despite the fact we got results in our last 3 games against 3 very good sides.

Their away form this season hasn’t exactly been bulletproof and off the back of some good results the least we could have done was come into the game with some intent. Everyone knows they have better players than us that much is obvious, but you can’t ALLOW a team as talented as them to dictate from minute one with no threat going the other way otherwise you get over ran and dominated, as this proves.

 

[FatSuperman]

Probably won't get anything tonight.

You say that, but I put a safety bet on; Man Utd 4-0. So if we are as outclassed in the second half, at least I'll get a hundie or so to make myself feel better

Unreal - is that was us scoring against Man Utd the whole half time would have been about it and the ref would have definitely been told at half time so he can correct the error second half. So unfair.

Are you really a Brighton supporter? Or just a wind up merchant?

I didn’t bite on your Ryan comment, but you really are a bit of an arse, aren’t you...

So your happy with this performance are you? Why shouldn’t we compete with Man Utd? Not saying we should win but try to compete. Potters tactics have been naive at best so far!

 

[Stat Brother]

VAR has cost BDB goals and between them their now costing us goals as well.

 

[The Fits]

How we going to change it peeps?

Maupay for Connolly
Mooy for Stephens
Move Bissy central

Murray for Montoya
Lamptey more defensive please.

Duffy Dunk Burn
Lamptey Propper Biss Mooy March
Mc
Maupay

Just play a proper team.

 

[Steve in Japan]

45 minutes to make a game of it. 0-2 or 0-4 makes no odds, let's have a go pls.

How many of the early leavers have already switched off

Wrong formation and personnel completely - too much tinkering. No complaints we’re behind but will day the officials and bias to the ‘big club’ has been obvious.

1) Lamptey makes what looks a perfectly good tackle and we are 3 on 1 at 0-0 - our 3 players go mad. No mention of it by comms, no replay! Want to see it again.

2) Their goal. Ball so so so far out and cheeser lino somehow misses it - how?! And how can’t VaR intervene. Then it looks like Shaw is off but we see no VAR replay and the comms just say Burn played him on - anyone got a screenshot of this?

Just seems they’re on top enough without the bias. No crowd going against us for sure tonight.

It looked clearly off to me. BBC saying VAR did check it- but if so, it took a second. They usually take ages when it's that tight.

Yeah. Wrong end of decisions but it’s dangerous to focus too much on it. We’re getting tonked.

With the right substitutions we can nick a draw. Maupay, Mooy, March, Trossard and Murray to nick an injury time winner.

Yep officiating has been disgraceful. United brought their own linesmen apparently.

 

[blockhseagull]

MacAllister as a CF. I understand he’s an attack mid or winger.

Think he is playing more off Connolly in his preferred position ?

However pretty hard to tell when we haven’t got the ball

 

[Mike Small]

Him and Prop can’t be in the same side

It didn’t work against Huddersfield so won’t work against this United team. Please stop picking them together Potter.

 

[studio150]

First time 5 subs made at HT in a PL game?

Couldn't do any worse

 

[lawros left foot]

As bad a half of football from us, that I’ve seen for a long time.

I wondered what those girlie sounds were, I thought it was a crying seagull

 

[Fignon's Ponytail]

Gave up as soon as the 2nd goal went in. Certainly looked offside to me.
Such a slow timid performance from the start...Gross would look like Usain Bolt if he had been on the pitch...
