Premier League Gameweek 31

Are our players capable of playing like Brighton or do Brighton players have more technicality than ours
I’m assuming you’ve not watched any of our games this season then.

Why are there so many fans with ridiculous comments like this? Can’t help but continually bash United even when we’re not involved in these matches.

It was only last weekend we set the record for the number of shots in one half of football. We’ve won a cup. We’re in the quarters of EL and semi of FA Cup. EtH has the highest win rate of any manager after 50 games for United. We have beat City and Arsenal. We’ve actually played some very good football at times.
 
Brighton are an absolute joy to watch. What a club. Lost Trossard, Potter, Bissouma and yet they keep improving game by game. They seem to keep finding absolute too noch Bargains in the transfer market. Fair play and nothing but respect for them.
They find these bargains because they are Brighton. We are not allowed bargains.
 
Are our players capable of playing like Brighton or do Brighton players have more technicality than ours
They have more technicality, not necessarily better players but all are more press resistant and a very nice balance throughout. The only press resistant guys we have are Licha, Malacia, Antony... Also having an actual striker makes such a difference as we see with Martial.
 
I love that so many Chelsea fans managed to convince themselves that Frank would turn things around :lol:
 
Brighton are an example to most clubs in Europe
 
Some week for us eh?

Just need to win tomorrow and we're possibly 9 ahead of Spuds.

Considering how they're playing, that's a good cushion.

Today’s results only mean Forest’s players will be far more up for it than ours.
 
Bournemouth are making the same mistakes they did at the Emirates.
 
This weekend couldn't be going any better................which means we're getting smashed by Forest tomorrow.
 
We'll win against Forest. Tails are up after the disappointment of Sevilla, everyone will be focused on bouncing back and getting a result in the league to stop the rot.

It's next week we should be worried about, the second string don't have the required mentality to maintain focus week in, week out.
If you say so
 
Said it in the Mitoma thread, but it’s fecking infuriating the stance both our club and supporters take to signing players when watching a team like Brighton. Balked at Caicedo for 6-10m (essentially nothing for a club like ours), but now we are lining up to pay 10x that amount for him and pray he works out
 
Genuinely can't believe how well it's working out for Palace so far to sack Vieira and kidnap Woy from the old folks home.

We have to stop being hoodwinked by club like Dortmund and look and players from perceived lower PL clubs. Mane is another example of snobbery.
 
Mydruk hasn't been great for Chelsea, has he? Long may it continue.
 
Newcastle lost, spurs are losing. Brighton can take one of theirs. You curmudgeon.
I’m not a curmudgeon. Brighton are currently the 3rd best team in the country with an elite level coach. Their buildup is truly outstanding. They totally deserve top 4 - however the best result for Manchester United is them not winning and it’s pretty bizarre to see so many cheering them on.
 
As good as Brighton are they give up so many chances.

:lol: I gotta laugh at how accurate this is. Any points that we pick up will be a bonus.

I assure you McFred would have been ahead of him in the team selection
 
The fact that Brighton had 20 shots after 60 minutes says a lot as well. A shot every 3 minutes :lol:

Mitoma was £2.7m.
 
I give up with this fanbase. Absurd comments all over the show.
Wait, are people actually seriously arguing that we have more technical players than Brighton? Pretty much every one of their starting XI is so good on the ball.

Yes, we definitely have better players and better squad and are higher than them in the league but if you don't think they have better technical players, then you don't know football.

Out of our players, only Shaw and Martial are excellent technically.

Edit: forgot about Eriksen.
 
:lol: I do. It's just shocking we don't have as much technicality as Brighton. It's as if we never prioritise the ability to keep possession when targeting players
They had time to instill this with Potter and now Di Zerbi, we have had constant changes with the emphasis on getting CL football at all costs. Hopefully we are showing a bit more style and with the right signings, not necessarily the media, again perceived sexy signing, we will improve more and more.

Caicedo was 5m. We didn't balk beacuse of the price or doubts about his ability, but because the move was too difficult to figure out.
