Brighton & Hove Albion 2:1 Manchester United

Insanity · Aug 24, 2024

Played slow and lethargic.
Didn't take our chances.
Gifted them a goal.

That's the first half summed up.

Ayoba · Aug 24, 2024

Amad not ready for the top level yet

Redivy · Aug 24, 2024

Zirkzee and Garnacho on ASAP.

AS18_ · Aug 24, 2024

Amad not on it today. Need Garnacho to start the second half.
I’d even be tempted to to take Rashford off too, but dont think there is enough goals in the team.

r0663664 · Aug 24, 2024

Playing without a striker and 2 wingers that are playing like shit. What is the point of buying a striker?????

Red00012 · Aug 24, 2024

Amad or Rashford off

We move the ball too slowly. Easy predictable attacks.

Amad need to get out.

Large parts it's actually been the opposite, we've played the ball fast with intricate passes. It only slows down when it gets to Rashford and Amad.

Offside · Aug 24, 2024

Need to switch both wide players at half time. We’d be winning this if we had Obertan and Tosic. Absolutely woeful stuff from them. Otherwise we’ve played quite well.

Ekeke · Aug 24, 2024

Rashford and Amad nowhere near good enough in that half, Garnacho on for one is a must

Maguire should have dealt with both crosses building up to the Brighton goal

Zirzkee, Garnacho and DeLigt in for Mount, Rashford and Harry at half time please

How does Amad survive this half? He’s been utter shite.

El-Manos · Aug 24, 2024

We’ve been much better but unfortunately one of those games where the opposition gets one chance and takes it

Crimson King · Aug 24, 2024

Amad poor.

Maguire had a moment and cost us a goal.

We were fairly comfortable until then.

I don't know where the goals are going to come from, especially playing this system. We don't really carve teams open.

Can't blame Sancho for being angry about him not beeing in travelling squad with Amad playing like that.

laughtersassassin · Aug 24, 2024

Should have played De Ligt. We know Maguire is a liability already so ETH was kinda asking for something like that to happen

Notice the number of times Rashford avoids physical contact by either slowing down before the defender challenges for the ball, or starts his run before receiving it so it looks as if he is just too quick for the pass.

No

Rozay · Aug 24, 2024

I sense some fear in our play. Bit of respect from Brighton. Caused us to be apprehensive with our pressing and conviction.

Amad had a total shocker first half too, be surprised if he comes out for the second half.

We've not been as bad as this thread suggests

We’ve probably been the better team but are losing which is what counts

RedIan · Aug 24, 2024

Amads passing has been poor but he still looks far more a threat than Rashford who’s not in the game at all.

Garnacho for Amad at HT a must

Absolutely. Some really good moves have totally broken down through Amad this half.

abailey123 · Aug 24, 2024

We’re light years ahead of where we were at this stage last season. How we’re 1-0 down is beyond me! Garna and Zirkzee the obvious first 2 changes here

El Jefe · Aug 24, 2024

The pressing has been good, our shape has looked much better and we’ve also improved massively in possession but we are still toothless in attack.

Amad and Maguire have failed to justify their starting roles especially with better players in their position on the bench. Mount has been decent but no matter what he brings no one can convince me we wouldn’t be better off having a striker in there.

thegregster · Aug 24, 2024

Usual crap. ETH being schooled by a no mark manager.
Maguire asleep,
Martinez crap.
No CM.
Rashford usless.
Mount being pointless.

Betson · Aug 24, 2024

Awful defending for the goal , you cannot make any progress when our game is still littered with basic errors.

Amad’s passing has been catastrophic.

Thought his link up play was meant to be his thing, shocking.

Neither should be getting as much stick as Rashford gets on here, it’s pathetic.

How is it pathetic? He's been dreadful, absolutely dreadful for over a year now.

Amad will remain a Pre-season Ronaldinho if this goes on.

I can sort of get it today with what happened yesterday. But shouldn't have been allowed to play

This is the same old shit let’s be honest.

It's not at all. We've been the better team.

Mainoo need a rocket at half time

Agree. Mainoos been caught on the ball too often. Quite unlike him.

SouthMancRed · Aug 24, 2024

We all deal with grief differently and he wanted to play but Amad should've been left out of this one.

RedSky · Aug 24, 2024

They're getting in down on right. If we don't fix that they'll score again.

Red_Aaron · Aug 24, 2024

Soft goal again

When are we going to start consistently fckin concentrating

We constantly undermine ourselves with this shit

DavidDeSchmikes · Aug 24, 2024

one consolation we don't look easy to play through. Last season the likes of Brighton would have had 5+ shots by now. But we're looking meek up front atm. It's not happening for Diallo and Rashford atm. I'd bring on Garnacho

IrishRedDevil · Aug 24, 2024

Pressed for 25 mins then it stopped.

MonkeysMagic · Aug 24, 2024

Lack of striker or not, the feeling that we have to create 7/8 chances before scoring 1, whilst the opp need only create 1/2 to do the same,never escapes me with this team!

Sandikan · Aug 24, 2024

Brighton away early kick off..never screamed promising outcome.
But Brighton don't look good have poached a goal and that could well be that.

On what planet does Ten Hag think this woeful Bruno Mount front 2 deeper false 9 nonsense works?
Doesn't help the wingers look woeful too

Sigh

MacabbiUnited · Aug 24, 2024

Rashford seems to have lost the ability to break forward with pace when the ball is at his feet

Todd · Aug 24, 2024

Going down a goal away from home is usually a death sentence for us, so I'm not hopeful.

Amad needs to be taken off.

r0663664 · Aug 24, 2024

Amad and Rashford should both be sub, Garnacho and Antony?

V.O. · Aug 24, 2024

If Antony puts in the half Amad just had, people would want him shot.

Shame Maguire shat the bed given two chances to deal with their goal. We've actually been fairly good in general play.

Devil_forever · Aug 24, 2024

Get Maguire, Mount, Rashford and Amad off. Bring on De Ligt, Collyer, Zirkzee and Garnacho.
