Perked up a bit in second half. First ten min was pure Hughton. Stephens and Duffy are not good enough.

[Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs Manchester United *** Official Match Thread ***
- Thread starter Dick Head
- Start date
We didn’t look great but a man united team on their game pressured us from the first minute. Even at our absolute best we didn’t stand a chance tonight. Better in the second half but united had definitely taken their foot off of the pedal.
Could have been much worse

No not when you see the goals, one took a huge deflection, one was point blank and one was straight through a defenders legs.
Frustration for me was that we were set up to limit the damage tonight. And it didn't work.
Crap tactics and naive in my view. We do better when we press. Yes its a risk but how did it go tonight?
Think we just needed to get tonight’s match out of the way without injuries, a yellow for Dunk or a Red for anyone else. Mission accomplished. The icing on the cake was the chances Trossard created and that we didn’t capitulate and let in a confidence shattering number of goals. We should put this down to United being much better than us on the day BECAUSE they have better players.

This is what I don't understand, Bissouma has been one of our best players for the past handful of games in that position. Why change it
Same goes for Lampety motm last game, messed about for this game
Dunno, against Leicester we were very good at stopping the breakaway from our set piece. Tonight, not good at all Slow to react all night, no energy.
Not fatal, but tonight is a kick up the arse. A deserved kick up the arse.

Disappointing way to lose. Potter got it wrong (which will happen occasionally when he changes the team so often) but the players couldn’t keep up with utd. Wasn’t even a contest.
Despite this, 4 points from the games we’ve played since the restart is a good return. Make it 7 from 4 on Saturday and today will be quickly forgotten.
There has to be a reaction vs Norwich.

Well at least we kept it down to 3. Now let’s never speak of this again
REDKNAPP speaks .... "Brighton were poor tonight, they were really poor tonight"
Thank fck for that, a bit of plain speaking.

Hopefully it was all a ploy to give Norwich false hope for saturday
I'd add Propper to that.
Is it PotG?

If we stay up, which I believe we will, who gives a C#####e s###e what Redknapp thinks?
Couldnt understand selection today but who ever does. Lampty outstanding at Leicester and then plays him in midfield..Connelly does nothing outside box and will never be a lone striker in any division. I considered Locardia and Androne to be far better but both let go. Dunk off and at last a chance to see Burn at Centre back but no Bernardo goes there.. I know he has his fans but surely Bernardo is a better full back. Potters tactics very strange setting up to defend. ( What stick Hughton would have got } He needed to be brave and make changes before half time } Just glad I wasnt there. Considering how Norwich.played against them hope we are not in for a shock on Saturday.
But he's right. You can say who gives a ****, but he is correct. Anybody whose played or watched football would say we were poor tonight.
