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

[Mustafa II]

This is the perfect time to play them.

Their side decimated by injuries and off the field issues. Their key centre half devoid of all confidence. MUFC is a broken club right now.

For this reason, I think we should expect a disappointing defeat today. Typical Albion.

It's got nil-all written all over it

Never...we don't do nil nils

[WATFORD zero]

Shame about Antony being absent really. I was quite looking forward to see him bouncing off Dunky again.

Just for you

 

[Mustafa II]

Looks like we're going to see Fati today, judging by the email teaser...

Strap in lads... this is going be incredible to see..

Try ‘Britons Protection’.great old pub with loads of history.
Or if the Quays, go to Media City. A few bars there.

I'm always concerned when the narrative is that the opposition are in disarray, have issues in the squad and suffering key injuries.

They aren’t that disarrayed. Even with their injuries, missing players (for… various reasons)… they can still start with

Onana
Wan Bissaka - Lindelöf - Martinez - Dalot
Casemiro - Eriksson
Pellistri - Fernandes - Rashford
Højland

That’s still a strong team in my view. Their bench looks depleted though.

Any recommendation for pubs close to the ground?

Very true. Hojland is also an unknown quantity of sorts, but looks the exact type of striker that we sometimes struggle with (i.e a physical beast).

Hoping to see Ansu today. Interested to see who could replace Pervis.

I think we’ll see Igor at left back today

 

[Insel affe]

Well the press are all over United today, Ten Hag is stamping his authority and will want a result to prove he is in charge, so I fully expect either a win, draw or we could lose.

What’s up with Pervis?

I know we won at OT last year, but for the first time ever I am thinking that we can beat them. I suspect, in a similar easy to West Ham and Newcastle, the first goal will be crucial. If we get the first goal, it's ours for the taking. If we let them score first, it might be a struggle.

Yeah but they haven’t lost a league game at home since we were last there. These are also records we are rather good at breaking!

Roberto said he was tired travelling back from South America midweek
