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

[Dick Head]

Total one-sided bull crap from Sky though and now we will have to listen to 20 mins of how Man Unt lost the game and not how Brighton won it.

Tune in to Radio Sussex instead.

At the start of last season I think we’d have drawn that. We’ve learnt how to close games out which is a huge positive.

 

[GT49er]

Sky Sports News pundits doing a very fair job.

WHAT. A. PERFORMANCE.

Some of the worst refereeing you’ll ever see. Biased, plain and simple. Horrendous.
Not even the refereeing team could get Man Utd out of that one.

The SSN pundits - part of theur 'doing a fair job' included pointing this out very clearly!

 

[Icy Gull]

SKY must offer a function to mute the scouser. Only his mic.

I did consider turning off the commentary because of him

 

[Bean]

What a result, despite the refs best efforts! Shocking officiating

At the start of last season I think we’d have drawn that. We’ve learnt how to close games out which is a huge positive.

BUT with 30 secs to go we launch it would have been better for some possession play.

 

[Bold Seagull]

“If Caicedo was in that United team that goal doesn’t happen’.

Reverse praise but I like it. Pascal Gross - not a bad decision to hold onto him.

 

[Farehamseagull]

Unbelievable!

To win away to Man Utd, and against 12 players, just stunning!

Graham Potter is just a genius!

 

[Eeyore]

A good win, but let's face it, if you want to survive in the Premier League you really should be beating teams like Manchester United.

 

[Swansman]

Think it was fine not to give the penalty, that kind of connection happens all the time... also think it was fair to give McTominay a yellow rather than a red.

But Maguire constantly using his arms, pretty much slapping his opponents, for 90 minutes - so annoying to see him get away with it.

The early offside call on Welbeck was also ridicilous.

 

[BBassic]

Get in.

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

That was very impressive indeed. Our passing, movement and pressing were brilliant.

Shit ref.

It's one of life's mysteries how MUFC continue to be so poor given the talent they have.

Isn't it?

For most of the second half they had Eriksen, Fernandes, Ronaldo, Sancho and Rashford on the pitch and created...

Surely Ten Hag will be able to get some kind of tune out of them if given time. For now though...

 

[Bodian]

BUT with 30 secs to go we launch it would have been better for some possession play.

I did wonder about that, but I think the idea was to get it back up towards their corner flag and battle it out up there. Interesting choice though.

Good idea ! Listen on BBC Sounds and you can rewind back to the final whistle for 30 mins of post match analysis/interviews focused on Brighton with Warren /JC (and on demand later)

[Coldeanseagull]

Meh, shouldn't have conceded against a 'team like united'

 

[SuperFurrySeagull]

Picking up where we left off from last season; that's very encouraging! Fantastic performance!

I am in Poland watching the stream on Polish cable and you get a choice between original Sky commentary or Polish and believe they are both as bad as each other.

I think I agree with you Swanny. The refs have obviously been given a steer to allow a bit more physicality and contact, as we saw in the Euros. But that shouldn't extend to letting Maguire put two hands on Trossard's shoulders and pulling him back.

 

[stss30]

****ing great result particularly given the inept officiating that favoured United, as per usual. Really really happy with the performance, particularly first half but also thought the defensive unit were solid in the second. Think we should move fast and offer Caicedo a new 6 year deal with an increased wage - superb talent

 

[ukpolska]

So over two back-to-back games against Man Utd we are 6-1 up.
