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
----------------------------------------------------------------------

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.

There’s positive signs in every defeat. There’s only one thing that matters though,

No more excuses for slaphead.

Rashford, Casemiro, Sancho, McTominay and Antony need to be sold as soon as possible.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Sancho is practically out i think. Juve
Case and rashford i see them leaving next season
Mctominay subject of a bid from napoli
Antony who's crazy enough to want him?

Antony it the type of player you sell to Girona for £400k.

6 - Since 2022-23, Manchester United have lost more Premier League games thanks to goals scored in the 90th minute (+ stoppage time) than any other side (6); they'd only lost two such games in the first 30 campaigns in the competition combined. Asleep.

This is an actual pisss take

We must have lost, Robbsie is back.

What an odd thing to say. I’ve been posting all week.

At least you haven’t done a “ should we sign Welbeck “ article.

Or Toney

Not sure how any of them changes this game. We are still not good enough, not fast enough, not solid enough when the chips are down.

It wasn't a terrible performance but some individuals can certainly do better.

Obviously the Zirkzee one was the correct call and I reckon we'd have won had he not got the touch. Like I said it is the right call but it's one of those strange ones where there's no disadvantage to the defending team there.

Is that roughly since games started going on for 96+ minutes regularly though?

These is really the whole issue. They are so highly paid and propped up that we refuse to understand that these players are as far as we can go. None of these players are going to improve. They are going to get only worse.

We didn’t sit back at all. It was Brighton sitting back and playing on the counter most of the game. Stupid attackers and ball watching defenders turned a comfortable win into a defeat.

posted on 24/8/24

Certain individuals looked way off it physically today, which is strange as they didn't seem to last week. Mainoo and Amad in particular.

Plenty of positives in how we set up though - the first half is probably the best I've seen us play at Brighton in 4 or 5 seasons. But it's a real concern how toothless we look up top. Unless there was an injury to Bruno, the decision to take him off for McTominay was utter madness.

De gea should be better.

Thought we played well in places, especially on the counter. Still not good at dominating anything

I am shocked how stupid some fans are, they turned a Brighton sit back and counter performance into a game they were on top of lol as they were on top for 20 minutes of the 90.

We just need to put another one game unbeaten run together

I think we look better than last season. We have a discernable shape.
Mount is going to be key imo to pressing and a link between midfield and attack. He puts a shift in, but needs to be more creative with his passing.
Antony, Sancho need to be sold if possible, or at least not on the pitch. Assuming Ugarte signs add McT as another to go
Rashy I don't know he shouldn't be an automatic starter that's for sure.
Onana improving.

Yeah it’s one of those in the fairness of the game you’d want to see given (even for opposition), but it is what it is.

Oh yes. It's a definite offside, of course. Just a bit of a shame that's all.

Brighton have beaten us 5 times in our last 6 meetings. In that time frame we have spent over £500m and they probably have made a profit. Oh and they've had 3 different managers.

The excuses are just getting worse. We are a badly coached team. We don't defend well and especially our back post. And we don't look like a team that is ever going to score a decent number of goals.

Not sacking him when they were going to is going to come back and haunt them. Sentimentality over common sense on the back of a cup upset.

We've now lost more PL away games than we have won under Erik.

16 wins
17 defeats.

This is now being accepted by some of our stubborn fanbase who simply refuse to admit they are wrong.

Going nowhere under this manager.

Mainoo is a bit of a concern in this respect.

The sooner we have Ugarte’s energy, tenacity and determination available for that midfield, the better IMO.
