Manchester United v Brighton - 3pm 16/09/23 - Official Match Thread

Awful performance, same old names letting us down again.

We had better hope Amrabat is Keane reincarnate because that was alarmingly comfortable.

Worst part is, it’s not really a surprise. Brighton are better than us.

I was trying to be optimistic…you know support my club. Did I say some mean things against your beloved glazers for a second?

We would do better with rashford to negotiate contracts that keep him in the final year of his current deal. Only time he ever plays well.

That has ruined this week’s statements.

Don’t be silly. It’s only June. We will sign players really late on, so they need a few weeks of the actual season to get up to speed. If we are are feeling extra @#%&!ish? We sign two on injuries like hojlund and Amrabat

Just checked in after driving my boy to Nottingham… oh dear

No manager can or will succeed under this ownership post-Fergie. The culture at the top is rotten and it conspires against success at the club.

These @#%&!s can't even be bothered to tell us they aren't selling.

Can expect a standard weak champions league performance , finish outside top 4 and the manager wrongly sacked around Jan -Feb

Fair play to the Brighton manager David Gest

Still lads - it’s not all doom and gloom around us.

Got Russell Brnaad hosing the Christmas Party this year. A welcome distraction from all the negative press surrounding us.

It sets the tone. The likes of Sancho coming out in public undermining the manager . Two signings in the summer arrive injured

Obviously you do the business as late as possible …it’s only June lads.

So sad to see. I just hope ETH get the backing and support of the players because if these £#%&!ers down tools and hang him out to dry there is no hope

Arsenal didn't destroy us though, did they - even some pundits who love to deride us admitted it could have gone either way.

The point is that we have a bunch of players who don't react to adversity very well and far too easily feel sorry for themselves.

Even today, there was the ball going out but not given incident. It would be nice if we could catch a break occasionally.

Well worth starting The Scottish Player for that one interception. Absolute class.

As a club and as a team - brighton are everything this lot aren't.

Organised, classy on the ball, hard working and total belief in what they're doing. Fair play to them, they've absolutely shit on United today without getting out of 3rd gear at any stage.

United meanwhile continue to be a £#%&!ing disorganised mess. So many players out there playing for themselves. No more so today than Rashford and Casemiro. The pair of them were shocking. I think we saw what little was left for Casemiro to give last season, he looks utterly spent and what you usually get from Madrid cast offs.

Rashford? Well what else is there to say. No appreciation for his team mates, no hint of playing for the team, one priority for him and that's all he's interested in. Get ball and shoot. Doesn't bother to press, doesn't bother to track back. Absolutely bought into his own hype.

As for the rest, i don't know what to say any more, The absolute ease with which teams just walk into our 18 yard box to score goals is as £#%&!ing astounding as it is disgraceful. Nobody wants to do the dirty work, nobody wants to graft when they don't have the ball. Conceded 10 goals in 5 games. How do you even begin to £#%&!ing fix this?

If The Scottish Player and Rashford start the next game i'll be worried.

You make your own luck. The defending has been poor, throughout the whole season, big gaps in the midfield . Shit finishing. The game isn’t played on luck.

6 points after 5 games on -4 GD. The player so my have themsleves to blame that isn’t not catching a break.

Naturally ETH will wrongly get the blame.

We were so shit I started writing Paul Pogba erotica halfway through.

Fold the club?
