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

Or maybe fans have grown accustomed to criticising him beyond what’s reasonable? He has under formed at times. Maybe he’s not fulfilled his potential (still time). Still a fine player who as I said is recognised by writers, peers etc.

I don't believe he gets criticised by fans generally - just like writers, commentators and the emperor in his birthday suite, most believe that they will be regarded as stupid for not seeing his talent if they dare to speak of it. I don't care - I say what I see. He's not rubbish, just very average. Maybe I'm stupid.

Nah, you’re not stupid. I respect your view. Just comparing it to a few so called experts in the game but I guess ours counts as much as theirs when you’ve watched football long enough.

I just saw Dermot Gallacher on 'Ref Watch' on SSN. All decisions correct according to him.

What was his explanation for the ball hitting the arm which with the new rules means the goal must be disallowed? As I said earlier, it is a stupid rule but if you are going to have it then use it.

He said it came off Dunk's arm!

One of the players' arms must be double jointed then as it didn't look that way to me or the commentators.

I agree with this quote, on the day we were beaten by the better team, they played quicker, crisper football than we did. I think I only saw one instance when we zizzed the ball around that led eventually to us scoring. Solly March when he came on was doing his Butch Wilkins impression by only passing backwards and sideways and GM didnt have time to get into the game. They were sharper, faster and appeared to want it more than us TBH we looked physically and mentally slow in comparrison.

I dont know if theres still the ''Oh well we dont stand a chance of winning at Old Trafford and Anfield'' mentality in the squad, I really hope not, because we can do better than we did.

Nonsense.

We were beaten by the better team.

Just accept it and stop blaming the ref.

There are two big positives from the game:
1. We only lost by two goals
2. We still had 11 players on the pitch at the final whistle
