Manchester United v Brighton - The season starts here 7.8.22 MATCH THREAD

Why aren’t they savaging de Gea for his passivity on that first goal? It was disgusting. Welbeck did the only thing he could, the ball was a foot away from him and he looked like a rabbit in the £#%&!ing headlights.

God I hate him.

De Geas on same wedge as Salah and De Bruyne. Going nowhere

On the plus side this should spark the board to get the Arnautovic and Ivan Toney deals wrapped up to close the gap on City and Real Madrid.

how do we always lose to this shite ffs

The people who thought Ronaldo was the main problem in our team have had a wake-upcall.

Maguire needs to be dropped asap. De Gea needs to be replaced too.

And forget de Jong, we need two midfielders, and the fact we haven't even bought one is a disgrace.

Getting played through at home by a mid-table side. Then again we'll be mid-table with this team.

Who the £#%&! is that woman? Literally have no idea who she is and yet I’m expected to listen to her views on the game

The Scottish Player and Fred off. Ronaldo and Garner on. Please.

As long as we've got 3 forwards in the entire squad.

They’re in a weird mindset of ‘we have to buy the right player’ it’s not £#%&!ing possible, you have to improve incrementally and buy better than what we have, which isn’t really that £#%&!ing difficult. Costs more though…

Needs binning asap.

I’d rather Henderson in goal tbh.

12 months left

I’d honestly pick Heaton. He’d have dealt with both of those goals comfortably.

That's going to be true for the majority of teams we face.

exactly. it seems most people reading this watch football without properly understanding it.

the key positions are if anything worse that last season. that why its literally the same outcome.

we needed midfielders and forwards this summer and didn't sign one.

and then as predicted out new cb has been at fault. while the lb we bought we don't even need.

They’ve lost possibly their 2 best players and have a Utd reject up front and yet they’ve been running rings around us

Potter is a very good manager but put him in charge of Utd and he’d have the same issues ETH has

That was as bad a managerial start at Utd as there’s been
Martinez has been a bit all over the place but he’s new to the league so you have to give him a chance to adapt but Maguire has no excuse
You can’t play a high line with that joker

McFred is an abomination and the fact it’s still our main midfield is a complete disgrace

Huge half time team talk as this 2nd half could get nasty if we don’t seriously improve

Fergie got shamed away at Oxford and found the £#%&!ing coach driver sat next to him with a flask having his butties.

Did I ever mention he got beat 5-1 at the Bert’s three years later?

is that what you are arguing with me about.

that's 50m spend on Martinez could have been spent on a player we actually need.

with pogba gone and him being the main man. how has he done?

if he scored that chance we might have gone on to win.

It all starts with that confidence draining @#%&! welded to his line
