Manchester United 1:0 Brighton & Hove Albion

United will win this, bring on Fellers!

McGrathsipan · Nov 25, 2017

This is Brighton and we can't break them down.

Brighton.

Brighton.

I think Mourinho is trying to prove a point - that Rashford and Martial cannot play together.

So by playing them both he's trying to prove they can't play? How random a quote is that... Does it really make sense to you?

Wow what?

I thought he got injured again.

R'hllor · Nov 25, 2017

2nd half will be much better, specially because Valencia will be further away from me, people rating him, calling him a machine is just pure madness.

Too risky to bring Zlatan on at HT. Way way too risky with his injury surely.

Don't be silly, tigers don't need recovery

Or was it lions..

The problem is not the players, it is the coaching. How about trying a bit more variety on the crosses, make the play quicker. Players have to wait to see where the players are and the play is slowed down because of that. A good attacking team will know where their teammates are going to make runs, which areas to play the ball in.

This is just poor attacking coaching.

Bingo.

We've got two over-the-hill wingers at FB, and two young strikers on the wing, and a no10 who cant create anything, where the hell has £600m been spent on this team?

Pretty shocking tbh
Hate Pep and how he’s bought a team, but he sure spends well... grrr

redIndianDevil · Nov 25, 2017

Why is Young and Valencia the only pair who has the ball so much at the attacking third, both those two are abysmal at creating anything, no wonder we look like crap.

Jose doesn't play Rashford and Martial together, we said he lacks balls and that he doesn't like Martial. He plays them together and they don't click, we say Jose didn't coach them well and he has no idea about how a team should attack and score.
He plays Miki, we say he is kissing the Armenian's behind when Mata should be playing as our number 10. He benches Miki, plays Mata who fails to spark, we say Jose lacks tactical know how.

People just parrot the latest moan. Fans aren't coaches though so such simplistic thinking is expected

If it's slow with Martial and Rashford on the flanks then surely speed isn't the issue.

Bringing on Fellaini isn't going to help us, maybe Ibra could do something.

criticalanalysis · Nov 25, 2017

Play a proper midfield 3 with Herrera at the base and let Pogba roam ffs. None of Miki/Mata/Zlatan/Fellani are good enough to warrant playing in front of Pogba and taking his space.

dmode · Nov 25, 2017

We need to win this match, I'm concerned

Young has created loads this season.

If your star player has just come back from a long term injury, you do not start him for 3 matches in a row.

When the medical staff declare your star man fit, you play him. His playing duration has been managed well so far. That first half incident had nothing to do with not managing Pogba well. Could have happened to any player.

Rajma · Nov 25, 2017

Smalling done like an amateur here, terrible

E-mal · Nov 25, 2017

Mata is dreadful

Shark · Nov 25, 2017

What the hell is going on here.

Why do you hate him or the way he has bought his team? Isn't mourinho doing the same?

Did the same with Rooney tbh.

iam_kramer · Nov 25, 2017

Jesus, only one team playing attacking football out there.

Camilo · Nov 25, 2017

Lets just give Chris Hughton the job - clearly he's a managerial genius.

Minimalist · Nov 25, 2017

LOL that would have been a fun start.

Mkhitaryan should have started, even if he was going to get drowned in the middle that Brighton 5 midfield players. Martial should have been rested to start Watford away.

All he would of done is got easily disposed and then they would of counter attacked us even more than they already have done. The space he plays in as you said is drowned.

Are you talking seriously ?

Yes. Common Pogba just came back from a serious hamstring injury, an injury which is really tricky and can really torment a players career if not managed properly. Given that he is a really important player, but that doesn't mean that Jose has to throw him into every match to give it all when he has just come back.

Sammyjunn · Nov 25, 2017

Oh God Mata...

Android1974 · Nov 25, 2017

I agree changes at half-time are not warranted.

GifLord · Nov 25, 2017

That shot from Mata :lol:

Brighton are generally well organised and difficult to break down. Even City had problems with them.

drdoityourself · Nov 25, 2017

Mata plays like he's missing a pint of blood.

Charlie Foley · Nov 25, 2017

No foul there

redIndianDevil · Nov 25, 2017

Knockhaert is having a field day

redom · Nov 25, 2017

Encouraging start to the second half ... for Brighton.

YouOnlyLiveTwice · Nov 25, 2017

You can see the players have been told to get it together and up the intensity. Let’s see if they can do it.

Minimalist · Nov 25, 2017

Bit of a dive there by Rashford.

antohan · Nov 25, 2017

Zlatan in for Mata now please

At least he would be able to provide quick 1-2s and keep the ball on the ground.

Kapardin · Nov 25, 2017

Mata has always been an average player, but a couple of seasons ago, he used to score the odd goal or unlock the defense with a nifty pass in games like these.

Now he's utterly useless.

Kazi · Nov 25, 2017

Rashford trying a Nani vs Arsenal 2012

Foxbatt · Nov 25, 2017

we need to get either Rashford or Mata off and get a midfield player on

Andycoleno9 · Nov 25, 2017

If that was sterling it it would be a foul. It strikes me how we don't have respect from refs anymore

ManUtd1999 · Nov 25, 2017

Brighton gets easily to our goal, but luckily for us, their execution there hasn’t been good.

altodevil · Nov 25, 2017

Mata has been shocking so far
