Blame all on the player you like, but it's Young and Mata, right flank completely killed us, their player got behind in our right back lot.Has Mourinho lost the team? Save for a few exceptions, they’re just running around pointlessly.
Care to explain why not and who you think the best defender at the club is?Bailly is having a shocking game,This is the second time in a year we've made Knockaert look like the lovechild of Messi and Maradona.
After the last game, I kept an eye on him thinking he was a real talent. He isn't. He's a journeyman winger who our defenders seem to have laid money on winning the Balon D'or.What was that!? I can’t think of a player who is doing well.
Trying to find the fault in the game but it’s all disastrous!
Surely it can’t be this bad in the 2ndMuted the sky sports half time pundits for the sake of my own sanity.
Don't set your team up to play within themselves/as if they're the underdogs.
Do what the 'progressive' clubs are doing.
Sell all the Raiola clients.
I think the whole system is the problem. Not individuals. All of these would walk into their side. Brighton didnt have a single shot on target against Watford. They are shite. It's our manager failing to get any sort of cohesive play out of us, not knowing how to control games against relegation fodder, and getting outplayed by trash. Doesnt matter who our center backs are. Both of the ones playing right now are 30m signings Mourinho wanted.Jose has to take responsibility. For ffs Mata? What the eff is he doing on the pitch? He jumped away from the ball when it was passed towards their left wing. He has been a menace to US. Has not done anything. As for Young he certainly has not been better than Damian against Leicester. We have the best attacking on our left side yet we are always playing on the right. Get Mata off for ffs and get Rashford on and let him run against their defence. I also feel Pererira has been very poor.
I do not think it was Lindelof's fault. I think it was actually offside too but they did not show it in slow motion.Championship teams doing us in. Nothing to see here...Brighton and Hove Albion. 3 goals.I'm not really surprised. No matter how much you convince yourself things will get better, it really does not. Players clearly are not playing for Jose. Obviously Jose will not train them to lose. He has lost the dressing room for whatever reason.Everyone ready for Pogba bingo with your host Graeme?Bailly is 3/4 brain dead.It’s a horror show from back to frontWe just don't push up the pitch while attacking.feck giving Bailly a chance to redeem himself. Take him off at half-time.
I would desire that right nowThis will be a long season I think.
He’s an absolute mess.We can't string 3 passes together, I'm struggling to see what our game plan actually is? On top of that, why does every player need 3 or 4 touches before making a pass,forcing them to misplace or concede possession, it's embarrassing! All the blame lies with the management in my opinion.Brighton will ship 4 next week at Anfield. They are pretty shit but they just love playing us, we are also pretty shit to be fair.
No, that would be "huge". He said "huge, huge, huge" so billion and a half.
What attacking?
Still blaming Van Gaal?
What coaching?! All our players look absolutely terrified of the football! We started the game like we were 3-0 up and cruising.
I'm just so depressed by what I see from United these days. There were seasons under Fergie where the football wasn't the best, but you never felt like we had a team of cowards.
I just can't identify with any of these players, they will obviously never care as much as I do.Three goals conceded against flipping Brighton, no disrespect.
We either play defensive and solid, making it hard for the opposition to break us down, or push high and force them into mistakes and capitalise from there i.e. the Lukaku chance.
At the moment, we're doing half and half and it's not working. As usual, there looks like there no game plan. Players not sure how to defend as a unit, especially in wide areas. This is something we struggled with against Leicester, and were unlucky not to concede from a Maddison chance.
They'll ship 4 before half-time.Fred not doing too well today as well. Goodness knows how we prepare for games. It's like we don't want to be here today. Crazy.well, I certainly lowered my expectations before the season started, but have to say today is a bit of a shock. Wow, just wow....
Sack Mourinho and get a manager who can coach a side that can outplay relegation fodder maybe?We're making a mid table Championship level player Murray look unplayable at the moment.
Brighton are a bunch of journeymen hacks, yet are playing like dons.
Amazing.
This Bailly - Lindelöf experiment has got to end though. It's lasted way too long already. Get Smalling back in asap.
If we can salvage a draw we'll have done amazingly, as not sure we have 3 away goals in us.
Same here. Not listening to those two ABU cnuts.FFS just seen the score, missed the first half.
Are we playing that bad? My son says it is dreadful.The warning signs were there with preseason and then that first half against Leicester, barring a complete 180 in the second half we've not shown the capability to get this back. We hardly tested them that half.
Jamie Redknapps making out like he was an absolute Midfield General. Can't take him seriously.There aren't enough calories in the world to make me feel better about this team.For the 2-0, have you seen what Bailly did to concede the ball ? I mean wtf
never clear it for corner when you can aim for the throw in- Status
