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

[Reddleman]

Hammers home the fact we do not have a suitable back up striker

Absolutely, a couple of decent performances does not paper over the fact we are so sort up front.

We also need a new left back/wingback. Bernardo is nowhere near good enough for this level and March needs proper competition.

 

[Stato]

Good to get the opinions of two Man Utd players as pundits. Have they lost Steve Sidwell's number? Liam Rosenior? Glenn Murray?

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

I don't get the love of Burn and not just because of the goal. Just don't rate him at all, does a couple of flashy things every game that come as a surprise because it's unexpected but as a defender I don't think he does the basics very well.

Poor all round tonight, Ali J and Ali Mac look like the most likely to create something but nobody else stands out so far.

I agree to an extent.

Steady last season, but nothing more and often played on by opposing teams.

However, think he’s done well generally in the cup so far

I think we've played well and looked the better team. Shame we're a goal down, but nobody really gives a f**k about the Worthington Cup or whatever it's called now. Surely there's no money to be made out of it with no gate money, so the quicker we're out the better.

It’s a trophy ffs. What other chances do we have realistically of winning anything?

Plus a route into Europe I believe.

 

[Weststander]

Does it matter?

You admitted your dreamy affection for Manure today in the other thread.

Probably glad to see two heroes of yours.

 

[Dick Head]

One word. Predestination.

 

[Driver8]

We need something up front. I’d bring Maupay on at HT.

Veltman not looking like a Potter player so far. Guess it will take time.

Plenty of nice performances elsewhere, but as the pundits said, if you're going to play that high a live at set pieces, the keeper needs to be coming out. Several times Steele has stayed rooted on his line. I can't really put blame on any of the defenders for that goal, the ball is so deep.

Strange, i think he's looked really assured in each game.

 

[Mackenzie]

Have they taken the roof off of the stadium?

 

[severnside gull]

I used to think he had pace to burn, but Manure players are winning foot races against him tonight, even when he has a head start.

Wonder if the club will look to strengthen the LWB position in the next 5 days?

Think it may have been mentioned

 

[zefarelly]

I really like Gross in that deep midfield position

Me too . . . Give him the ball and he feeds . . . . If Maupay comes on, spray it wide, feed it in, boom!

Or pass to AJ and boom.

I'll take a pair of both please!

 

[Gilliver's Travels]

But I'd heard from some bloke up in Leeds that White was worth £20 mill. Shome mishtake??

 

[Weststander]

Think it may have been mentioned

On NSC, a lot.

Hopefully Ashworth and mates are having the same conversation.

 

[WATFORD zero]

For the goal, I tend to think if we are beaten in the air with a great header then fair enough, but, surely we should be blocking a player from having a clear run through. It's so frustrating.

You don't even have to be any good at football to block a runner, it really is basic stuff. Then it doesn't matter if White moves too early

Looking at the rain sheeting down, I miss the Amex and seeing the game live. I am warm, dry and have a drink in hand. But it's not the same. It's a bit shit.

 

[The Fits]

Bit more tempo this half please.

Has Bernie had an injury that might have making him permanently slower?

 

[Questions]

Got to improve. I think Maupay will be on soon

 

[JonnyCLately]

Bernado is so slow - when did that happen?

 

[MattBackHome]

I really like Veltman
