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

[Affy]

I thought a very decent scrap. United, despite failings, are still a very good side with excellent players.

That said, we are a very good side with excellent players and it was good to see us dig in. Very good result.

 

[Eric the meek]

We're 6 points above Palace and Chelsea. That'll do.

 

[Swegulls]

Fingerspitzengefühl that triple substitution!

 

[jcdenton08]

Fergie time still exists.

Fortunately!

Fingerspitzengefühl that triple substitution!

I think you can get cream for that.

 

[Questions]

Surely we can’t throw the title away from here.

 

[Pogue Mahone]

Fewer! Get your grammar right. See me!

Well, you won’t see him.

 

[Weststander]

I didn’t think we played that well tbh. But we kept going and went for the win.

Making those subs at 87 I thought was a bit late but assume we knew or had an idea 7mins injury time.

Enciso’s energy and pace plus Baleba really getting stuck in was a turning point, softened them up for a triple sub chocolate topping with sprinkles.

Performance wise, can only get better.

Love Hinshelwood, but not a LB. Readymade replacements lining up.

Minteh will learn to pass. Also on working with our RB.

 

[Albion my Albion]

A beautiful win with quite a bit of Glück involved that Man U wasn't able to take a 1 goal lead because Zirkzee got in the way of what was a certain goal.

 

[Si Gull]

Think you should be calling Specsavers instead

Obviously he had a good game, at the time I just felt he'd missed a couple of chances to go through....

1.40 am in New Zealand. Whisky o'clock. I love this team.

 

[Munchkin]

3 points. Amazing feeling at the end, but…..

Defensively we looked very vulnerable today, we can’t give better teams than United that space and those opportunities and not expect to be punished. That high defensive line didn’t work and the players (more so Dunk) were quite obviously frustrated with the system and lack of cover at times.

The result is everything. I get that, but for all the attacking quality we now have, we have and must be better in defence. Play like that next week and Arsenal will tear us apart.

It’s amazing as a Brighton fan I’m looking at this game as us being at least their equal. 6 years ago happy to nick something off them, now it’s a very different story.

 

[The Mole]

Just watching the TV coverage… were we playing today?

 

[jcdenton08]

Since Fab arrived have our balls gotten even bigger?

AND two new first team signings coming in the next few days. What a time to be alive

 

[Jackthelad]

I can’t believe one of them called us hipster. We are lot things but hipster is not one of them.

 

[Ding Dong !]

They utterly robbed us at the end of last season...............payback done and dusted !!!

 

[Bodian]

Surely we can’t throw the title away from here.

It's ours to lose.....

 

[Stato]

Well, we're all getting older.
