[Raw]

This team reminds me of the 12/13 season.

Why?

 

[Safa Boy]

Aside from that one cross - nothing. Alas, I'm in the wrong. We are playing the mighty Brighton after all.

 

[marktan]

Bailly's a bit of a poor defender.

 

[ghagua]

Do we really know how to attack?

No, because City can spend more than us!

 

[ayushreddevil9]

So boring..so so boring.. Mourinho has taken off the joy of watching football from us

 

[Minimalist]

Okay, can everyone confirm that Brighton are pinning us back now?

Because soon there will be a few contrarians in here telling me I'm blind and United are playing like Barca.

 

[Loublaze]

Smalling with a good ball to Lukaku on the left

 

[Garethw]

Step it up lads come on. It's weird, the other team scores, we speed up our passing and attack not and look better for it. We score, and we slow down, stand off, and look worse for it. It's like the opposite reaction to the one you'd like

It happens to often to not be tactical.

 

[Member 5225]

Basically

 

[tony54]

We are starting to look ragged and they are having more shots than us. No comment.

 

[Barnslig]

Horrible 2nd half. Can definately see us concede here, had it not been for Brighton being inept, we’d not be in the lead anymore, the defence has been shocking, don’t know how many times they’ve just run behind us and our defenders aren’t even aware.

And we’re offering jack shit going forward, have we had a shot on target in the 2nd half?

 

[royboy16]

Jesus we are hanging on here,need that second goal.

 

[Drifter]

Fans getting frustrated.

 

[Canagel]

Fans groaning because of backwards passing.

 

[ash_86]

Why is Martial anywhere but LW?

 

[catmandeu]

Jose should sub off martial for rashford, play mata as 10 and call in Sanchez. Sub off matic and call pogba in his place

 

[Nickosaur]

Bailly's a bit of a poor defender.

 

[Hellboy]

dominated at home by a pub team

 

[redIndianDevil]

Depressingly so. They’ve created more good chances than us.

If our team is coached just as well as Brighton we'd be scoring more goals and probably wouldn't have out of CL to such mediocre opponent.

 

[Shiva87]

Are you unaware of our football heritage mate be grateful mate

Just saw the football heritage interview during the half time. You'd think we were Liverpool (and even they are serving up better football)! Disappointing from Jose. I wish (and hope) he apologies - but that's a fool's hope

 

[NoLogo]

Mother of god. Smalling played a pass over more than 5 meters that was not completely useless. I think I just witnessed a miracle.

[redshaw]

How to find the opposition in the box.

 

[Scarecrow]

I think that too, but it could just be inexperience. He's only 23 or something.

He certainly doesn't look like a finished article. Hopefully he gets there.

 

[ivaldo]

At what point are you lot going to lose your patience with Mctominay passing it 4 yards backwards and sideways? We create the grand sum of feck all and yet you think it's acceptable.

 

[Tibs]

This is our best display against Barcelona in ages, we might just hold on for the win

 

[duffer]

Rashford wearing gloves. Disappointing.

 

[Sandyman]

Rashford on Mata off

 

[fergies coat]

Why?

We was boring that year too.

 

[mav_9me]

This is so maddening. The amount of back passes is driving me nuts. fecking cowards the players and the manager.

 

[JinnerJamie]

Playing miles better than us this half, and had way more chances.

I’m sure they haven’t scored?

 

[Catt]

At times you get the impression the players would rather be sat in a nice restaurant somewhere sipping a glass of wine, rather than running around on a cold night playing football.

Yup. I swear I can't decide if they met this morning or are just lazy.

 

[Mindhunter]

We seem to have picked 11 complete strangers again. Really, what do they do on the training ground all week?

Watch videos of how to stop mighty Brighton and get drilled on the game plan i.e who marks whom and who tracks whose runs.

 

[All 3 United]

Ok mata comes off and somehow lingard stays on.

 

[Camilo]

This has been really poor. Brighton are a more cohesive team, which is really sad.

 

[In Rainbows]

Fulham home. Think that is one record set that will never be beaten.

It was 81 crosses that day.

 

[RedSky]

I think that too, but it could just be inexperience. He's only 23 or something.

It's only his 3rd season of actual senior football. Think people forget that about him, we signed him after his breakout season at Villarreal.

 

[Hansa]

Come on, Rashers! Get that 2nd goal.

 

[FireballXL5]

Does anyone else get the impression that Mata thinks Mourinho is a fecking prick?

 

[Bobski]

Bailly looking like a guy just back from injuries who has had to play 3 games in a week.
