Wouldn't be too disappointed with a draw considering where we're coming from.

I'm wary too. I expect Brighton to have more possession because they are built that way. But I think we are more solid defensively than last season and if our attackers put the first chance away we will be comfortable like we should've been vs Fulham. It won't be an easy game but let's hope for the best.
Absolutely. Like someone’s mentioned before I’d get them both on together. If Rashford doesn’t start performing drop him and let him know his place isn’t permanent.
Then I saw him score, It's Carlos Baleba!38 year old Milner and Gilmour in midfield… surely we can play through that. Mount could be key today.Come on reds!! Let’s build momentum. Win today and make Liverpool worried to come and play us next week!some of you need to step away from your computers. the hysteria is ridiculous.
for whats it worth, the fact that brighton have such an intense approach, and we are away, are exactly the reasons you would keep the likes of DeLight on the bench, having only just arrived. 99% of managers would do the same.
Pretty bad, but tbf they have only been in the PL during our most abysmal period in the PL.
We've only won once in the last 6 outings against them. Our record at their place is atrocious so coming away with any points in comparison would be good.
Although saying that the relevance of results several seasons ago is a bit limited, it can't be used as an excuse. We have a much better squad than them so we should be getting 3 points.
Stepmum, apparently. I think she helped raise him though, so it's still gonna hurt.
Shakespeare. And the internet has proven this idea false.
Agreed. His off the ball game is top class, but he needs to start being noticed for what he does on the ball, too.Not meaning to moan, but I hate watching the two fasle 9's. I know it's needs must with Hojlund out and Zirkzee getting up to speed, but it just depresses me to see us line up without a striker when we used to have RvP, Rooney, RvN, Chicharito, Saha.. the list goes on and on.
However, Brighton in recent times have killed us through the middle. Maybe it's the right way to go for this game, even if we had a fit CF.Surprised at Amad starting despite his news yesterday. The rest of the team was expected.
Shitee, now my confidence is gone. We're gonna lose, aren't we
Yorke, Cole, Sheringham, Solskjær, Cantona, Law, Ibrahimović, Tommy Taylor, etc.
Ok sure
Zirkzee is only 23 has been training with us for more than 3 weeks so to claim he is not even nearly match fit at this point in nonsence, what on earth are they doing on the training ground if Josh still isnt fit to start?Didn’t realise that Brighton have spent an absolute fortune this summer.Sancho not even on the bench again, hopefully it means we're close to seal some kind of deal.
I expected Maguire to start again, the same happened in Casemiro's first season he was on the bench for some games as Mctominay was performing. It's a good approach make the players fight for their right to start, Maguire had a great game last week so it's only fair he keeps his place for now.Cmon boys!Another mid performance from mount beckons.I hate when we play first. If we don't win it ruins watching others games for me.James Milner in central midfield at age 53 is pretty crazy.What’s that Brighton marching anthem??I thought Gilmour had gone to Napoli? Evidently not.Should be winning that midfield battle. They have a 38 year old Milner.
We are coming from a win on our opening game ?
What are you even on about we should be winning here
They have new coach. We have basically our best 11. Everything except our win here is a bad result.That's a tasty looking front four for Brighton. We can't afford to give them any space to counter.I am so bored of pundits telling us how young Hurzeler is and how so many of the team are older than him!Our bench looks a lot better than last season?Thought Zirkzee would get his first start
Not his mum, otherwise he would not play.Ah welbeck 1 away from 100. That’ll end well.I love those old school traditional sweatshirt style zip up hoodies. Those are sick
Have you checked our win rate vs Brighton? They are tougher than City for us.that Brighton team is shyte, sorry. can't believe they're the favourites here.- Status
