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

[dangull]

Rashford is the big danger at the moment. Van Hecke can't challenge him because of the obscure yellow card.

 

[Napier]

Please could some kind person pm me a working stream. I have spent the first half listening to WA and trying to get a stream with no luck.

 

[Morvangull]

Reasonable half considering how many changes we have made. We are missing Estupinan. Therefore Mitoma has not been very effective as he hasn't got the same interaction with Lamptey. However, it was very good movement and a clever leave from Lallana for Welbeck's goal.

He was the main danger even before the yellow card.

 

[dstanman]

Lived on the edge during the first half, but deserve our lead. Half time has come at the right time so we can refocus

 

[Oh_aye]

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.

Good first half. Adingra looking a little light weight for me and understandably his touch isn't as crisp as the rest. Loads of potential but needs a bit of work. Dahoud looking a bit casual. Excellent games so far from Dunk, lamptey and van hecke

 

[jimhigham]

Couple of changes. Second half start like against Wolves. Bosh! Job done.

Possibly.

 

[Muzzman]

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

I thought he wasn't that bad, certainly not poor. Blocked a strong shot from Rashford, was calm around our own box, some nice defensive headers in there too... He is a little lightweight when being closed down, other than that he's been OK, IMO.

Their disallowed goal came from a break after an Adingra cross but no one in the box.

Nice assist though.

 

[Javeaseagull]

No doubt someone has already said it but their disallowed goal was a typical top six biased decision.

 

[Normandy seagull]

Decent first half. Bit lucky a couple of times. Adingra needs to get back and defend more. Dahoud- mixed bag. Dunk brilliant- brimming with confidence. Mitoma looks weary.

 

[Oh_aye]

Nice assist though.

I'd completely forgotten about that!

 

[Hendrax]

we need to sort the Van Hecke/Rashford problem as they are abusing the yellow card. double ups needed, or maybe an early sub for Igor

 

[birthofanorange]

Could you river me up as well please? My usual one appears damned.

Indeed - I would love one, too. I have one, but it keeps buffering every few seconds....grr!

Completing mangling VAR by saying it is only there to overturn major errors. Which is guff as offside and ball out of play are considered as binary.

 

[The Fits]

Gilmour would dominate their midfield. Suspect we will see him for Dahoud early on.

 

[brighton_tom]

Utd fans very salty everywhere & always.

Corrected for you

 

[spongy]

Why are Pervis and Solly missing? Squad rotation? Or carrying injuries? Rotation at OT seems mental?
