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

[dejavuatbtn]

Just a bit of a scary watch titting about at the back. I know it’s part of the masterplan but I will have a heart attack one of these days.
The Cisco Kid needs to look up and pass a bit more - we can win this.

 

[Steviewonder]

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

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

Gross and Solly link up incredibly well.

 

[albionalex]

March on for Buonanotte after 65 minutes I reckon.

Maybe even earlier.

 

[dolphins]

No half time subs for us then.

 

[Mr Smggles]

Steele great, Enciso and Billy also looking good. Welbeck not quite on it. Mitoma having another battle against Wan Bassaka.
I think we can still do this, but need first goal

I think the first goal is imperative (if that’s not too obvious to say). Whoever scores first will win 2-0 imo.

 

[AlexBH]

Gilmore has definitely got something about him. Heard very mixed reviews about him though. Norwich fans didn’t rate him at and he hasn’t played much for us, but he was brilliant for Scotland in the Euros V England and looks great today, a bit of an enigma.

 

[Steviewonder]

May end up 0-0, but feel like if Brighton can somehow get a goal, then it should get our players up the gears, and Manchester United could open up more.

Edit: I'm betting there will be a Solly winner

Ah the Alfa Arna

A particularly shite car on par with an Allegro. Doubt there are many still in existence.

 

[Berty23]

We can’t keep being this open at the back can we? We really miss caicedo in the middle and rashford can do him.

 

[GoingUp]

I think Buonanotte will come really good, has moments of brilliance but he's so young and sometimes you need to forgive him for the odd short pass or wrong decision.

RDZ obviously trusts him.

 

[Bodian]

Surely that should be a booking for Rashford - you won't see a more blatant dive.

Norwich fans are absolute weirdos. He got man of the match one of their games and they were slagging off the commentator for awarding it to him. Their hatred towards him was unhinged, even if he was a shite as they claimed (which he wasn’t he was just a kid who wasn’t ready or suited to their team).

One of my friends is a Norwich fan and said they still have a thread on their forum devoted to slagging him off and hating him.

 

[maltaseagull]

Rashford should get a yellow for that dive.

 

[oldboyroy]

Rash going down as Dunk brushes his chest hoping for a pen

 

[Steviewonder]

Rashford definitely playing fir penalty - cheating Berk

 

[Mike Small]

March needs to come on for Buonanotte.

I can still clearly remember the days when a back pass like Websters was better than any shot we would have had, and would have beaten the keeper, at the level we were at

 

[Mike Small]

Have that Fernandes.

 

[giveusfalmerplease]

I would sacrifice Gilmore for van hecke so Caicedo can join Ali Mac in midfield. Ali not the same without his right hand man tonight

 

[GoingUp]

Wish we would stick Caicedo back in the middle, even that means putting Gross at RB. Ali Mac is doing Caicedo's normal work, would love to see him pushed more forward too. Gimour is stroking the ball around well though.

 

[Mike Small]

Bring on Solly - it will further lift the crowd
