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

[Hugo Rune]

Putting out a weaker starting 11 against a mid-table team. Sounds logical to me.

Thank goodness someone got it right pre-match!

 

[Hovegull]

Play tell me we sang “you’ve seen us play, now f*** off home to Surrey”

 

[Icy Gull]

I am going to wake up and find we are just outside the relegation zone aren’t I?

Surreal

 

[The Fits]

Watch this from 8:42. EVERYBODY.

Watch.

He's one of the best things on the internet. It's an absolute penetration.

 

[The Fits]

Onana...'balon d'Or, he needs to be nominated for the fell on the floor'

About as useful as a hazelnut condom on a woman who's got a nut allergy. Or a man.

So pretty useful then.

Enjoy

It really is amazing how quickly they are ready to not just give up on this game at 1-0 down, but ready to give up on the whole season at 2-0!

Also, respect to whoever got this out so quickly.

 

[Triggaaar]

Well I got that very very wrong.

Isn't that always the case when we win?

Casemiro, McTominay, Eriksen and Bruno got absolutely bodied. Brighton look a class above us.

Seth Akhlaken - TEN HAG IS A DUTCH VERSION OF OLE,CLUELESS.. FLICKING JOKER

Alexslol - Name one other manager who does such horrible subs as ETH? remember who put in MAGUIRE for Ronaldo? yup, Ten Hag. Get this man out, he has no clue what he is doing.

[US Seagull]

In what way funny. I thought it was a class finish?

It was a class finish, but the feign before that totally embarrassed the United defenders.

 

[Icy Gull]

Good old Irish premier sports 1 for me today and a reasonable 15 second delay
They were Raving about Brighton. No man u only focus.

Peacock for me, the female commentator came a few times as Rashford scored a disallowed goal and whenever he bore down on us. Did she play for United?

Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi to Sky Sports: "We played a great, great game. We deserved to win, we played well. In the first 15, 20 minutes we suffered a lot because Man United played in a different way than we prepared for but after that we played a great game.

"I think the game was changed when we kept the ball. In that moment their pressure was strong and to keep the ball helped us to control the game and then we have four attackers who are very fast and very good.

"We have to keep our style when we are losing, when we are wining. We can't forget our DNA because the game can change and it's bad when the result can change our style. We are working to not lose our characteristic, our quality and to score more goals. We scored three but had many chances to score again."

On his experience with Brighton: "I must admit I feel I know I'm very lucky to be this coach for this team. it's like I dream because I am enjoying it a lot, enjoying to watch my team playing, showing their quality. It's an honour, I'm proud."

On the Europa League starting: "Thursday will be a historic day for us, the fans, the club, the owner. We want to play well and keep in our head the memory from that day."

I find this just amazing; United played a formation he did not expect and had the better of the first 15 minutes, so he changed our formation and we dominated the remainder of the match. Incredible coaching and response from the players.

I feel like the female commentator was meat-riding Rashford a lot. Like "RASHFORDDD OHHH"

 

[Jeremiah]

I would have liked to have seen Verbruggen come on for the last 10 minutes and play in midfield

 

[brighton_tom]

Crazy result given that Ferguson, March, Verbruggen, Gilmour, Estupinan, & Pedro would probably feature in a lot of people’s strongest 11.

Yep - I didn't like the starting 11 until about 15 minutes after kick off when they all settled down and took United apart. RDZ is a genius.

 

[Dick Swiveller]

I have never really "been having" Ten Hag. It seems a bit like England where they seem get results in spite of the manager. They have some world class attacking options but all it took was 1-0 and their press became pathetic. With us under RDZ, we will stick to the plan religiously. It may not work sometimes but heads don't drop and we chip away. Some of their players were embarrassing the way they gave up once we played through them. You can see how they have been on the end of some maulings. He doesn't appear to be on top of their egos despite his hard man image.

 

[Uh_huh_him]

Lamptey was a strong contender for MotM playing out of position.

He will need to have a good UCL campaign or he will be gone by Christmas
