[brighton_tom]

How much did our starting 11 cost? This must be a cheap one

 

[fruitnveg]

haha, Ref getting up their noses now.

 

[Krafty]

HT: Man Utd 0-1 BRIGHTON

And breathe

 

[Hendrax]

f***ing hate these cheating twunts. good challenege from Dahoud and the whole team turn and shout at the ref

 

[Bodian]

Yellow for Fernandez. Good - can't stand him.

 

[The Fits]

Blimey. Unusual to see us have such little control but undeniably thrilling.

 

[razer]

We need to really needle Fernandez in the second half so he lashes out and gets the red.

 

[maltaseagull]

Fernandes fees a yellow for a foul but gets away with a 2nd for mouthing off to the ref. Great footballer but absolute prick. .

 

[jimhigham]

Feels like we need to bring on at least some of the rested talent for the second half. Gilmour for Dahoud for me.

 

[Frutos]

So far so good.

 

[DJ NOBO]

Aspinall : “it was a yard out “

 

[Gabbiano]

Feels like we need to bring on at least some of the rested talent for the second half. Gilmour for Dahoud for me.

Dahoud seems to get bullied too much in PL. Gilmour offers better movement and better passing.

I wonder if Baleba might get a few minutes too.

 

[WATFORD zero]

Aspinall : “it was a yard out “

Well you should see what I call 8 inches

 

[Washie]

We need to bring on Igor for JPVH, not because hes played poorly, but that yellow card is dangerous.

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

Blimey. Unusual to see us have such little control but undeniably thrilling.

Haha 'only' 58 percent possession at OT.

 

[Mackenzie]

100%

Decent first half, especially considering how many key players aren't playing.

We're lucky to be winning, as it's been very even, and could have gone either way. On another day, their goal would have been allowed, as there was millimeters in it... but it was the right decision.

Let's not forget, this Man Utd side despite their problems, have many millions of pounds worth of talent and some top top players such as Rashford. We can be pleased.

Some of our 'fringe' players are looking a bit rusty - namely Lamptey, Dahoud.... but everyone is putting on a shift, no bad performances.

Van Hecke's harsh booking will be a problem in the second half, with Rashford on him like a hawk.

We're missing March on the right and Gilmour in the middle a lot.

We can be very happy with 1-0. Hopefully we will see some positive changes in the 2nd half, particularly superstar Ansu Fati, to see us through to the win.

Let's not count our chickens though. This is a very tough fixture and Man Utd will be feeling confident they can come back and win this. We could do with an early goal in the 2nd.

 

[pocketseagull]

incredible we have two top quality keepers

 

[Triggaaar]

We just need to go in at HT now 1 up - vital few minutes

My sky bet app thinks the first half is still going - 39 mins. How do I bet that it'll be 0-1 at half time?

 

[bluenitsuj]

Dahoud poor so far and it seems Lamptey has been banned from passing forwards.
