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

[Stat Brother]

No sure anyone could sum that game up better in less words.

Had a lot of practice in making that succinct.


Sanchez had the ball at his feet in his area.
Thread (what £100k a week) was back with Biss.
Suddenly runs at Sanchez from 15 yards away.
Bob says thank you.
Clips the ball to Biss.
On to Jocko.
Out to Flair Hair.
Into their area.

4-5 touches of the ball and a couple of seconds.

All because Thread plays like a 6 year old.

I was wondering if at any point anyone at all in the United camp thought to shout "is anyone picking up the guy with the big hair?".

He's far too good for us, all the time we keep throwing in performances like that.

Biss was straight off the pitch at full time - probably think he could have done better.
Curcurella was half a dozen paces behind - probably thinking 'I wish I signed for Bumley'

He must be kicking himself.

Yep.

I'm sure it would be quite liberating playing for a team that is shite and they know they are.


As opposed Imposter Syndrome & Hove Albion.

Blimey, I'm catching Stat-perspective-itus...

"our sincere apologies for outplaying you and showing you up on your own ground, here have a presentable chance you don't need to do any work for..."

"And another one, and another.
FFS if you're not going to take them, how about playing against 10 men".


Many conveniently forget we gave Spurs the cup and made them look like a team, for the first time in months.
Now have done the same with Utd.

All the while playing glorious football that looked considerably better than anything which has been served up in either stadium, for ages.

You are actually more glass half full than most people who think they are. You realise that don't you!

 

[Is it PotG?]

Looking great marching out in the correct strip.

It's not me...

What cup run?

 

[Sirnormangall]

It most definitely wasn't.
I was just ruined differently.



Anyhoo I can't believe just how 'one man team' Utd are.
Every single pass forward was looking for Ron.
I was expecting them (and their fans) to be poor, but not actually poor poor, just poor for Utd.

But stone me they were proper shitehouse.

Had we not thrown them a bone, every 20 minutes or so, they offered nothing.

I agree - Man U had half a dozen very good chances in the match but most of them were given to them by us, they created very little. Can’t understand why they’re so high in the league.

I watched it again on Sky. Some of their players were quite good; Ronaldo, Fernandes, de Gea, Pogba.

 

[Eric Youngs Contact Lens]

United are one of the sides that I don't ever recall us getting any luck against.. Not just the injustice of the 3-2 at the Amex, but ever.. Cup Final, league games in the early '80s.. that MUST change soon right? Don't ever remember getting anything that we didn't really deserve..

hmmmm ... and the wait goes on...

 

[perseus]

Best if we can learn what to do in one v. one on the keeper from Fernandes Bruno and then maybe Gross could have put us 1-0 up.
