[Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs Manchester United *** Official Match Thread ***

[jakarta]

The only good thing is that Utd are now coasting and obviously think 0-3 is enough of a beating...

Like Peter Crouch (don't tell HWT I said that).

Burn can at least claim he is the 2nd most skilful 6ft 7 English player of the last few years...

 

[sussex_guy2k2]

He's lucky for two reasons- firstly he's better with his feet than a man his size usually is, and secondly he's come from relative obscurity. He's not the answer if we want to progress, and if neither March nor Bernardo are rated better LWB then they need to be sold.

He also gives us the flexibility to move to 3 at the back with relative ease, which we’ve done numerous times this year.

March isn’t a left back though. God only knows why anyone ever thinks he is. His best games for us have never come in that position.

 

[TottonSeagull]

Your tone is just so negative, blaming Ryan for the first 2 goals when at least 1 of those he could do nothing about, and the other he was unsighted....

And your constant pops at Potter are a bit tedious too...

Yep, not a fan of either....

Win at Norwich and all will be fine need a point minimum.

I'm not saying March is a left back. But he has the potential to be more effective at wing back for us than he does anywhere else.

To be fair, other than picking up a last minute winner against the worst Arsenal side in 20+yrs this is pretty much in keeping with how we've been playing under Potter all year. Too many changes, too much tinkering, too many players out of position, poor defensively and little creativity. Otherwise excellent.

Goal difference would say you are wrong regards the defence. The lack of striker has been our issue.

Our corners are terrible.

 

[Mike Small]

For all his nice touches and positions he picks up Trossard misses a lot.

 

[Frutos]

We look better with Trossard and Maupay on, although United do seem to be coasting.

Trossard has had a couple just wide, and it needed a decent save from De Gea there to deny Maupay.

Exactly.

For (#)teamslikeBrighton these games are a free hit. The bread and butter are Norwich, Saints, Toon and Burnley.

That's our level, and our fans accept that.

GP over thinks things, just play the best players in their best positions.

I really like Potter. There’s a good manager in there, but it’s clear he’s still learning. He’s started far too many matches with the wrong team this year and he’s had to correct his own mistakes too often as a result.

Saying that, I think it’s clear we don’t have many of the types of player he’d like to work with. We lack pace in key areas, for example, and some of our better players ie Duffy, don’t suit his system whatsoever.

Miss Webster , Duffy on the ball is woeful

Considering we have so many big men
our set pieces are incredibly poor

Our corners are bloody woeful aren’t they. ‘If’ they beat the first man I cannot remember the last time we won a header even if it was to head it into the stands.

Match Stats from BBC:

Man U shots on target: 3
Goals scored: 3


You don’t think it’s fair to question Matty Ryan..?

yeah the love train just isn’t working

I liked everything you said apart from Duffy , who is weak link

I don’t think Duffy has been helped by the fact that Montoya is woeful to be fair, we all know his limitation on the ball but he’s a good defender, been left very exposed today.

Biss cops one in the crown jewels.
