[A mex eyecan]

But he was lauding them two games ago against Liverpool. Little ole Brighton eh !!

oh yes, we now have such influence over these ‘top’ sides, oh my days

 

[Bodian]

You will be pleased to know that M U fans think the opposite. We should have seen 2 red cards!

Baleba, and who?

Twice . I really do get the benefit when it works. I suppose it is back to Hughton and Potter days of learning better ways. I just feel we do it at the wrong times, that's all. Not saying it's the wrong thing just do it against teams that don't do the high press until we progress.

Meh. We have 4th least dangerous mistakes on our own half, only City, Arsenal and Everton are better in that area. It just seems like we make more defensive errors because we don't give a shit when other teams does them.

Three away wins on the bounce is fantastic. Had to listen on the radio today. Away end sounded epic

Same. Fantastic support. Safe journey all.

From their forum. Makes me happy

How can the club and the execs sit by and watch shitty f**king clubs like Brighton and Bournemouth have their day every time they come to

What an arrogant entitled tw*t that poster is.

Isn’t it working? It’s gone wrong twice (I think) this season when we’ve got a 21 year old gk and literal kids playing in midfield. Mistakes will happen.

Ultimately, if you play the ball into other areas consistently, teams will press in those areas instead and you’re faced with the same issue.

The key is for the very young midfield players to get better at receiving the ball with their back to goal, which will happen a) with experience and b) with better scanning.

Some players do this naturally - Caicedo, Busquets, Rodri, Lampard, Alonso - others need a bit more time.

But we’re not going to stop doing this, and neither are any of the other big sides around Europe because the benefits far outweigh the negatives.

Goalkeeper is 22

f***ing pleased as punch. Hate those ****s.

 

[Brian Munich]

That worries me

Lamptey to LB was a great sub. Diallo had been looking dangeorus with his pace off the mark all game, which Pervis struggled with. Lamptey nullified that.

 

[The Oldman]

Baleba, and who?

Minteh for a foul on Dalot

 

[Cheshire Cat]

On train on the way back.
Thought we were excellent, a great all round performance, no weak link in team.
Only downer is the buffet car is closed.

I assume the train has more home fans going to London than away fans.

Just seen this headline on the beeb website

We didn't beat them, they lost

Don't take it personally. Whoever wrote that couldn't put another [club] beats club]' because it would be repetition with the Everton/Spuds bit – it could easily have been the other way around. Nothing wrong to say they MUFC lost because... they lost

 

[Bodian]

Minteh for a foul on Dalot

What about Solly for putting a hand up to Garnacho's neck? Are they not moaning about that? (all over by then though)

[Brian Munich]

You know, this is the first time this season I was really confident we wouldn’t.

Given our results this season, I didn’t relax until the 96th minute when Solly was winding down the clock in front of the away fans with a mixture of touchline keep ball and shithousery.

isn’t it brilliant to see MU clutching at straws in an attempt to demonstrate winning a trophy.

 

[Pevenseagull]

Looks like we've given up

Happy yet?

I’m on my third train of the evening, lucky to bump into any football fans at this point let alone our lot

Received a yellow for it

 

[Greg Bobkin]

I know he was only on for a very short time, but anyone have a view on Gomez's very short cameo?

My mate knows someone who started an RIP thread (and lived to regret it) and he reckons Gomez was shitehouse.

 

[Seagull58]

Because the refs aren't Brighton fans so they won't pretend it was deliberate?

Dint be an idiot. He deliberately stamped on Van Hecke's foot. Clear as day.
