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

[PILTDOWN MAN]

No good doing well and always giving away soft pens. Not a Bong hater but he needs to learn to be more careful in the box. Gives away so many needless pens/feekicks.

Bit late In his career for that.

But this isn't dross. we're playing well against a rejuvenated, and frankly unrecognisable from earlier in the season, Man Utd.

We're playing OK, up until the final third, then cocking up our chances. Is it a case of being scared on the big stage? Because you'd fancy us to put some of these chances away if we were playing at the Amex.

A bit of belief and positive intent from the manager and players. To surprise us a little. This is a completely predictable game so far.

We’ve made it totally easy for them, it’s a self inflicted losing position. It was a blatant pen - stupid challenge by Bong and we chose to play with 10 men, Murray shouldn’t be on the pitch, Andone should have started and would have probably made more of that chance.

Ridiculous.

Gross and Murray have been really poor and look off the pace.

What a huge surprise that is.

Most people called it and the manager seemed to miss it and still played the pair.

Isn't one of the golden rules to play inform players, its an insult to the players who could replace them.

Why wasn’t Pogba banned for that shocking tackle on Alli last week?

 

[Stat Brother]

I guess we've got 20 mins of 'this' before we try and get something from the game.

I'd love CH to explain why he thinks Murray is more suited to counter-attacking than Andone. No dig at him, just wanna know the thought process.

I think the difference is simply the quality in front of goal, we have had a few chances to test the keeper and failed. All down to money.

 

[HantsSeagull]

please tell me CH has made some changes. 2-0 down at OT - what have we got to lose?

Everday is a learning day.

So we are 2-0 down at HT and we waste another 15+ mins until he will give anyone a sniff of getting on.

So predictable come on Hughton shake it up a bit.

 

[LamieRobertson]

Really? Am I watching a different game?

I think you’ll find they are a ‘half empty’ kind of person

I take your point but Murray's 1on1 volley vs De Gea is just lack of bottle in my view. Just get it on target and force the keeper to make the save. How many away games have we failed to score since being promoted?

 

[Mackenzie]

Come on lads, we’ve got them on the ropes now.

 

[banjo]

2-1 Liverpool

 

[Bodian]

Is that 'go left, pick up the sticks...' I can hear there?

It feels like all of them.

Isn't there a team closer to where you live that you two can support
