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

[Kalimantan Gull]

While I think Brighton is overall the better team in a long row of aspects, I fear Daniel James might have a very fun day against a defense that could be described as "not that ****ing quick". The fact that he got a year of Potterball in him, he probably have a lot of tactical inside information that could turn quite costly. I think United more than any team will be trying some extremely aggressive high pressure the first 20 minutes or so. If we can survive that part without conceding, I think a win is likely.

Do United do the high pressing thing now under Solskjaer?

That was one reason we've done better against United than any other big 6 side since we got promoted, they let us have the ball

Potterball could come of age today or we could get that thumping we all know will come with it now and again.

Keep the faith... this is a win.

It should be. I would be very disappointed with a draw against these has-beens.

Teams need to do it properly against us this season - like Burnley. Just close down with your strikers and we will pick you apart through the middle. Close down our midfielders at the same time and we struggle.

Perhaps less so now with the pace of Connolly up front?

Problem is you are lumping it up to two midgets if you can't play though them. It is the one time we miss a big man up front. Although we normally still try and play our way out and try and drive me onto a 4th blood pressure tablet.

WOW! No parking the bus for us. The dream front 3. Could be very, very good or a humping.

The runs and movement of Maupay & Connolly will cause them no end of trouble!

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

They have some serious pace up front - I wonder how we'll come with that? Could be goals at both ends on this one.

Why is kicking the ball forward for our two fast strikers to run on to called 'lumping it'? Might be better to call it an excellent 40 yard pass.

I'm really hoping we get to see some close-ups of bewildered looking United fans wondering what the hell is going on as their reality check continues.
