Brighton & Hove Albion 0:2 Manchester United

Dargonk · May 19, 2024

Well that was an uninspiring first half

peridigm · May 19, 2024

What a dull half.

Gordon S · May 19, 2024

Brighton are a boring team and manage to bring the worst out of us.
Absolute shocking first half

Bobski · May 19, 2024

Mainoo needs to get on the ball more, something that will he will need to improve on.

Nothing to do with setting the bar low. We havent got Scholes and Keane in our midfield anywmore. Move on!

Based on what ive seen this season, he was ok against Arsenal and Newcastle. Nothing special but ok.

Move on? Some fans are so fecking rude for no sake. Good on you if you are happy with your 2 game sample size.

City will trash this team 3 or 4 -0 and they will keep possession once they hit 3 within 70 mins.

Lets hope that's what they do at 3-0. The record is 6-0 in the cup final and that is definitely under threat next week.

Hester_manc · May 19, 2024

Another terrible 45 minutes from United, where we are second best.

All season everyone talks about a massive squad clearout, and then when the season comes to an end they start making the case for keeping all the players they previously wanted gone as a "squad option". You see it in the Amrabat thread, the McT thread, AWB, Maguire, etc.

Exactly

Insightful comment

More insightful than yours which was based on nothing. All the stats show they've not played well. They're 16th in the league for xg during that time

Berbaclass · May 19, 2024

Adds two minutes but blows after one

DomesticTadpole · May 19, 2024

Even Andy Ritchie on MUTV saying we don't deserve anything.

Big Ben Foster · May 19, 2024

Two minutes of injury time, blows after one. Ref must be bored out of his mind too.

BarstoolProphet · May 19, 2024

The state of our team the first half. McT playing as a hybrid winger/striker sums it up

NewGlory · May 19, 2024

One of the worst games we have played this season, so far. Brighton are not good enough to score, but City would have been 4 or more up. Absolutely horrible, Amrabat being one of the worst

Annihilate Now! · May 19, 2024

Considering we're playing City-Lite, this really bodes well for next weekend

nazanto · May 19, 2024

Out pass, outrun, outplayed is the story of Eth's Manchester United team.

United Hobbit · May 19, 2024

Can't wait for this season to end (feel like I repeatedly say that in recent seasons)

manutddjw · May 19, 2024

Got to take Bruno off. Can’t risk him for the final.

Andycoleno9 · May 19, 2024

Newcastle did their part. At least result is not important anymore.
We finished 8th. Bloody hell.

Abizzz · May 19, 2024

Feels like our players aren't allowed to run when off the ball. Everyone just standing waiting for the player with the ball to do something.

It's inspiring enough. We aren't losing nor have let a goal in.

I know, and I wasn't sold on ETH last season. But, I did expect an improvement. To finish in this league position with this level of performance is appalling. We've been played off the park too many times this season. Can't actually remember that many performances where we were the better team.

Gutted.

Exactly. It’s incredibly disappointing. I thought that EtH was the one.

Yagami · May 19, 2024

Ghastly, and I'm not talking about the Pokémon.

Lu Tze · May 19, 2024

I think the only way I can handle this mentally is to play FM and try to sell everyone, again.

Yakuza_devils · May 19, 2024

I have seen enough, can't take this anymore. Need a new manager and new direction.

People say when Martinez is back he will transform our team, right? I certainly can't see it today.

The point is it's absolutely worse if you don't invert. There's no discussion. It's current tactical meta for a reason.

We need to make a 3-2 in possession. You can take your pick of five players to make that from. The most common / the most flexible way to beat a press is to make it with the inverted fullback.

if you have the right players, yes but not for Dalot

If you don't have the players for it, you should never force a tactic, that's idiotic. We can't retain the ball nor protect the backline

djembatheking · May 19, 2024

That was a dull slog. A few minutes in the legs for Martinez I suppose.

Ekeke · May 19, 2024

Amrabat and McTominay are 2 sore thumbs, they stick out by a mile as players who dont have the abilities to play in our midfield. Amrabat has constantly lost the ball to Brighton's pressing players with no awareness whatsoever of players around him

Red00012 · May 19, 2024

Amrabat needs to feck off to a league where you’re allowed time on the ball

FerociousCorgis · May 19, 2024

Really glad we are doing false 9 as if that was us dominating last game with it. Mctominay is absolutely nowhere near the level we should have. Amrabat been caught more than an std at a whorehouse

glazed · May 19, 2024

We're not very good but the premier league match commentators lay into us like a pair of second tier playground bullies trying to get Jamie Carragher's approval.

lex talionis · May 19, 2024

The players are clearly under orders not to risk injury, even if that means a dreadful performance and deserved defeat.

Wing Attack Plan R · May 19, 2024

Awful half. The decline into shitville football was slow at first and then all at once. Worse than falling in love.

It does annoy me that teams get plaudits for picking players who can pass all day but provide no threat on goal.

DavidDeSchmikes · May 19, 2024

it's not just the league position, it's the performances

For all those fawning over De Zerbi...they've had a pretty terrible few months.

For me Brighton play like City-lite without the quality. They've had all of the ball for the half and really, only created one or two chances, largely from deflections from our tackles.

And that's with us randomly carriyng McTominay up front.

It’s all well and good schooling an EtH managed United, unfortunately for De Zerbi, he loses that free 6 points a season if he gets the United job.

Amrabat is spectacularly poor. We paid 10M for that. You could fire Erik for cause based on that alone.

Yep under the radar £10m up in smoke.

Could have sacked him with that money.

Red00012 · May 19, 2024

I turned down a ticket for this game. I’ve been well justified

r0663664 · May 19, 2024

Actually you can see, they don't plan to try to win. Everyone is playing at walking pace so they don't get injure. These players shouldn't wear this shirt. I hope I don't see these players in United anymore... AWB, Amabrat, Casemiro, McTominay, Lindelof, Antony, Rashford, Sancho..... even Bruno.

Last season we ran City very close in the final. We’re a much much worse team this year so our chances are not good.
