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

[Seagull27]

The way you're all talking it sounds like we're playing like complete turnip. I'm at work and listening on TalkSport and they're saying it's a great match from both sides.

It is a good game, and we're playing fine. Just turns out that Man Utd are a decent team as well, who would've guessed.

 

[Bodian]

Don't like these through balls to Rashford in the middle.

Do like the Casemiro booking though - lets run at him, he loves a red.

Top of your arm isn't handball - isn't that we all knew?

Sometimes it is apparently.

 

[Seagull27]

Gilmour looking very sharp with his passing

 

[atomised]

United next to me in swc whining about people cheering and making too much noise

 

[Farehamseagull]

I love Enciso, he’s magic, special.

He’s a starter now when all fit as far as I’m concerned.

 

[Steviewonder]

Shame Fugueson still injured. Welbeck just not in game. Can't understand why Solly isn't playing.

 

[BN41Albion]

How the f*** can our fans be dead at home to Man U when a win will keep us on track for Europe? I despair.

Very decent atmosphere in the ground

 

[Steviewonder]

Quite entertaining half. Both teams had good chances. Not much in it.

 

[Marty___Mcfly]

Missing March on the right for corners etc?

 

[Bridcutt]

Any one else feel like a lot of our attacks are being ruined by two of our players getting in each other's way/standing on top of each other?

 

[pb21]

Very finely balanced, much like the SF, although quite different too.

If it wasn't for Steele we'd be losing, if it wasn't for De Gea's face we might be winning.

Caicedo is struggling at RB, not sure what the solution is though?

Shame Fugueson still injured. Welbeck just not in game. Can't understand why Solly isn't playing.

That's because he hasn't had any service. Our players are trying to score worldies

 

[Bodian]

Gilmour looking very sharp with his passing

He's been excellent - some good interceptions as well.

Can't understand why Solly isn't playing.

I was wondering if it was something to do with not having Gross or Veltman behind him?

 

[GoingUp]

I like Enciso having those wild shots, want Ali Mac to do that too but he's playing deep again.

Easy to get annoyed we aren't looking as good as we did against Wolves but we are playing a well drilled, inform Man United team in 4th position with a team worth, probably billions? Not the same team we got used to battering previously

 

[jcdenton08]

Okay half against good opposition. Very similar to the cup semi final. Rashford looking very dangerous on the break over the top. Gilmour started strong but faded a little. Mitoma looks dangerous… but why didn’t he pass?!

Not a bad half at all, but we look very exposed on the break because of how we play.

Caicedo doing okay at right back, but he is wasted out there and got mullered by Rashford for a clear cut chance (good save Steele!) when stood up one on one.

 

[oldboyroy]

Good 1st half, some lovely stuff from us but they are bloody good on the break! They've had more chances with quick incisive passes which we've struggled a bit with. Mitoma's miss has been best chance of match and could prove very costly.

 

[Bodian]

Missing March on the right for corners etc?

I think Buanonotte's corners are better. They at least beat the first man!

 

[1066familyman]

That touch by Gilmour on around the 43 minute mark was a thing of sheer beauty!

He's having a great game again.

 

[GoingUp]

Is March injured or rested?
