I just hope we can avoid an even bigger defeat. I have no confidence in those jokers todaySo much for our midfield
trio.
Off with Andreas.
Lets get Messe Lingod today please.
Rashford, well at least do better than what Mata did and it will be something hopefully.
He's been poor with any ball in the air. Looks very uncomfortable dealing with it.Bailly is having a shocker.
I'm sure there will be intent, it's the execution that's the big question mark.Sure the players are showing half-heartedness and are well off the pace. Brighton pressing well and beating us to every ball/challenge.
What I don’t understand is why Mourinho didn’t change our system with Brighton pressing high against our two CBs and midfield. 80% of our possession has been deep in our own half in front of the penalty area.
Mata has been anonymous. The only one looking up for the game is Lukaku and he can’t even hold the ball up to save his life.No surprise so many on here including myself could see a potential Chelsea 15-16 season meltdown happening. This is beyond pathetic we are making this shite side look like Bayern Munchen. If we don't sack Mourinho we are going to have major issues against every single team in the league, 7th or 8th place finish. This is exactly how Chelsea played the season he fecked up badly.Baily
BaillyMissed the game until now, how the feck are we 3-1 down to Brighton?
Why are we so pathetically predictable?Just give up.Taking Pereira off was harshFeck me. Did they just tell us there were two subs a few times, talk about it for a while but not tell us who they are, or did I miss it? Was so frustrating
Well said. It is our own teams attitude that should be under scrutiny.
I started drinking again today. You should try it.
You're off your rocker. He's a liability.Good grief. Not a great start to the second half.
Yes Victor was missing, but what caused the unnecessary penalty was Bailly, I mean you have the world best Keeper ffs, where's the trust?Bailly is a calamity. He is not as thinks he is. Needs to keep it simple.Proper laurel and hardy stuff from Bailly todayMartial is still in? Jose just being cruel on purpose...Bailly is going to give everyone a heart attack today
I think that any team playing us will do exactly that - press our defence.
However, let's not forget that last season, against the minnows we struggled. Our superstars simply cannot motivate themselves to battle with the minnows.Don't agree with taking both Mata and Andreas offFred is reeeally having a stinker.
Bailly and Fred are just walking disasters out there on the ball.If you don't laugh at the state of this team then you'll just lose your mind.
Brighton 0-2 Man City
Brighton 1-5 Liverpool
Brighton 0-4 Chelsea
Brighton 1-1 Tottenham
Brighton 2-1 Arsenal
Brighton 1-0 Man Utd
That was Brighton against the big teams last season. Unless we just accept we're closer to Arsenal than the rest (starting to think this is the case), then we really should not be in the scenario we find ourselves.Has anyone posted the Samaritans phone number? Some of you may need it.Matic and Sanchez are obvious misses. Our defence are new to each other (Young on the right, Shaw on the left with Bailly and Lindelof partnering for only the second or third time or something?)
20 years ago you’d have just shrugged your shoulders and said “shit happens it’s only one game in August” but we’re in the kneejerk age and have been since the mid naughties and every dropped point is scruntised.Bailly is a red card waiting to happen.48 min
Phew, Bailly nearly blunders again by almost losing possession on the edge of the box but gets away with it this time.
Let's keep making it hard for ourselves shall we?
Not with that attitude.The bright side of bailly being so bad is lindelof looks quite calm !This must be comical for anyone that's not a United fan, the standard of football is laughably bad.
We should go for him once he's past his peak and has hoarded trophies elsewhere.
We aren't playing as well as we could and should do. I fully agree there.
You speak the truth.
Brighton play Liverpool next. No game raising is going to happen there.Yep switching it across the box to a defender under pressure sounds like a great idea..Bailly seems to be in full clown mode today I can only laugh at that attempt.Let us all be honest with ourselves; We are not genuinely competing for the title in the upcoming season never mind winning it.
Didn't Mourinho say last year he wanted 4 signings and if the club got him the fourth(Perisic), he would be extremely satisfied and that is exactly what happened with Matic, Lindelof & Lukaku(even though we all knew they would not suffice) and what was the result? City cruising with a massive gap to the title.
He said not too long ago that he is not expecting a lot of changes to the squad and that he is probably looking at 2-3 max. He means it and it's not one for the cameras or like some say, said to "prevent clubs from knowing our budget". That is what will happen.
We all know we will not win the league. Why?
Because the likes of Jones, Smalling, Fellaini, Young, Valenica, Lingard, Rashford, Martial etc who are not good enough are still here and will play key roles yet again in what will be a culmination of frustrations, abuses, rants from pundits and fans alike.
We can complain all we want but Mourinho is not gonna be as ruthless as Pep is and ship them out.
Don't set yourselves up for any dissapointments. Deal with the reality. We will likely be in the race for 2nd-4th and you can quote me on this when the season ends.
The above was my post before rhe season started and the prediction is well on course. Whole club is in shambles...- Status
