Need sinchez on!
We need some music?I would be bricking it right now if Jose was in charge, but given our current form under Ole I full expect United to score again.
You're turning a blind eye because you rate himLingard with another silent dominating performance.Ole has us defending about as well as we can with these guys. Painful watching some of them. Hopefully we can hold on.74 min
Mata does come on in the end but Lukaku back on the bench.Been on cruise control for too long. Against the run of play perhaps but we can’t really complain as we were only in 2nd hear. Let’s see if we can up the tempo again.
He was marking two players. Should have had more help. Dalot just let Gross float in in front of him. It was bad defending but not Jones fault.Bring Sanchez on for Lingard, the latter has had an awful game.Everyone's snoozing aroundAt least that that goal prevented Lukaku coming on. One good thingSo Lukaku was trusted at 2-0 but not at 2-1. Strange.Someone should make a compilation of Matic losing the ball in situations like that. It's like his brain freezes and then he gets dispossessed from behind.Is Brighton’s assistant manager Thomas Tuchel?
Young really shouldn't be a starter at a club like United. Nowhere near good enough.Simple mistake of players not used to playing together but we should be scoring from our chances. Glad Mata is on to help finish these chances.
Of course. That doesn't mean he's playing bad today though.
Music is always needed
Ole needs a word with these feckers. too much faffing about today.Not who I'd have brought on at all. Guess he'll keep the ball better mind.Mata? WTF.
It wasn't, Lindelof was at fault for not being goal side and letting the cross come in.
To defend.Need Lingard for what?
At least lingard is off. He's been utter crap again
People are scapegoating him because they don't. Why was he marking two players? Why was a ball like that allowed to be played so easily?Not really sure what Lingard's role has been today. Apart from generally trying to make a nuisance of himself?
I thought the same.Why RashfordKick ourselves if we drop points hereWe should be comfortably leading. We can never be trusted to keep a clean sheet so we have to be more clinical to make sure our inevitable defensive mistakes don't cost us.That was greed Rash
Yes.Good sub. Mata will add a calm presence to keep it ticking over.That was the wrong substitution, it is like zero sum.77 min
15 minutes to go and Brighton's tails are up after that goal. We need to go up a gear here and look for a third to give ourselves that two goal cushion again.
And Dalot for allowing Gross in so easily. It was a complete defensive breakdown. Blaming one player is ridiculous.
After his “showing” at Spurs presumably Ole doesn’t trust him as a player we can bring on to help control a game and ease the pressure on the team. Mata will at least help with ball retention. Lukaku won’t help with that nor providing a useful out ball.
He missed a bread and butter header that could've stopped that goal, that's my problem and its not the first time.- Status
