Nobody gets too far like that

More of the same timid away football we saw last season.
————————

We pressed them extremely aggressively throughout the entire first half and were unlucky to be a goal behind. Brighton constantly had to try long balls and difficult passes to alleviate pressure.

Our overall shape from back to front all preseason and in these first two games has been night and day from last season.

Second half was poor, though Brighton came out of the blocks very fast. It was a pretty even game overall but there’s a lot more to take from the first two games then we’ve seen last season.

I think another result like this in the next couple of weeks or so and they'll sack the bald fraud ... It's just more of the same

We must have lost, Robbsie is back.

I really don’t understand what people are watching to conclude this. We weren’t getting bypassed on the press, we weren’t wide open in midfield because the high press was poor and the defensive line was deep, we weren’t conceding shots and chances all game and we had the opportunities to actually win the game. A bit of luck with the Zirkzee offside and we may well have gotten than one over the line.

There’s clearly a number of positive signs that will hopefully develop further over the next few weeks.

Aye because £500m isn't enough. 😂

Thought we played ok today. Could have gone either way but in the last 10 mins Brighton just seem to want it more.

Berba watched the same game I did.

Obviously there is a hell of a lot to improve on. And I do think Rashford needs to be dropped once Garnacho is fully fit.

Although we look better as a team with Mount on we don’t look like scoring any goals so ETH is going to have to figure this out.

Wheres this step forward??? 😉

Evans contract extension, duh.

Just sack him ffs!

Ten Hag out!!!

I thought we played okay in general transitions. My take aways from today:

- Garnacho has to start, he’s our only direct threat
- Concentration is an issue, some silly mistakes at both ends including the two goals they scored
- It could’ve gone either way, and Brighton away is a tough fixture
- In general we looked a much better outfit than last season

Bit of a knee jerk but with ETH now in his third season he has no safety net! If we are languishing in 7th/8th/9th by the new year he'll be gone. No one expects a title challenge this year, but do expect a challenge for 3rd or 4th.

Rashford, Casemiro, Sancho, McTominay and Antony need to be sold as soon as possible.
