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

[Colonel Mustard]

What a day! I'm still in a backstreet pub in Salford having a great time with plenty of nice ManU fans who are being very complimentary and friendly. Just about to be collected by my wife and off out for a decent Chinese meal. A good day's work. Brilliant performances.all round.

Expected win against a midtable team.


Always great to see United lose.

 

[Muzzman]

MAn u v BHA game of the day on Sky Sports @ 2030 full 90 minutes..

I wonder how they get to watch it anyway ?

IP TV on a firestick.....

You should probably disregard me right now, because I’m so tipsy turvy I just sang a Bon Jobi song karaoke, but I managed to get a whole Lithuanian bar to celebrate Albion’s victory by buying everyone a shot of absinthe, and everything is fuzzy and beautiful and insubstantial right now, but what the hell just happened!? 1-3 and not even close to being nervous at the end. I’m buzzing, even the bartender who rolled her eyes at me earlier tonight is buzzing, are you buzzing? God damn I love Brighton and Hove Albion

Steele's distribution was great today. My only concern was, would the Dutch goalie have saved Hanibal's shot( what a name)
It was from quite a distance. Easy to dismiss when it wasn't important at the end of the day.

[Kinky Gerbil]

Just seen the goals.

Onana is dreadful.

 

[cjd]

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

Surreal

I haven't been to sleep for almost a year. I daren't.

Must keep taking the drugs.

Almost total control in the second half, Man U never really looked a threat.

Man U manager clueless taking off their striker at 2-0 down.

We need fear no one, whoever we play

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

His Ajax team were amazing. A little bit like us now, but not as good I don't think.

Any manager going to utd is destined to fail.

His talent ID is dreadful

He convince United to spend 160 million on 3 Ajax/Ex Ajax players that are very very average.

Plus Mason Mount.

Not sure how much say he had in recruitment at Ajax?

Then they claim they have no money.

 

[Weststander]

I genuinely think Ten Hags main modus operandi is being constantly angry with his players. Unfortunately for him he's not Brian Clough.

The renowned disciplinarian, the tough guy. A reaction from the hapless hierarchy after Solsjkaer was deemed to have allowed a lads club of his mates.

Pep, Klopp and RDZ aren’t afraid to sideline and upset the odd player or two, but overriding that their teams go out to enjoy themselves in expansive football.

They always seem to have whac-a-mole endless list of duff players, controversial personnel, sick notes and huge contract situations to sort out. Currently:
Sanchez
Maguire
Antony
Varane
Martial
Van de Beek
McTominay
Evans
Dalot

At Ajax did he have their traditional head coach role? Recruitment a collective from above.

Giving him £500m to spend at Manure, he’s looked out of his depth. The media have mocked that almost all of the recruits have had some Eredivisie or Ajax connection.

He had a fair amount of good players come through as well.

Cass on a long term contract as well is madness

 

[portlock seagull]

I don’t know why I’m happy tonight. Beating Man U every season is normal. I’ll save it for when we do the double over them

 

[Weststander]

Just seen the goals.

Onana is dreadful.

Manure tw@t Mark Goldbridge on TS just had a rant about that. Furious that clean sheet machine De Gea was got rid of, replaced by a £45m rubbish keeper.

Crikey. A 4+1 contract for a then 30 year old, £18m a year wages. What is it with their > £300k a week wages?

That was a knee jerk signing after the Albion won at OT in August 22. Solidified DM, but staid football was then ensured. Like Fabinho and Henderson it appears the legs are going.

Real Madrid let players leave for good reason.

And beat them in the Cup Final

 

[The Fits]

The more I watch the JP goal, as lovely as it was, the more I think most GKs would have saved it.
