Great to have in the dressing room tbf.

It's £#%&!ing embarrassing how much better they are than us

Chasing shadows

Nice to see Casemiro lose the ball then amble back

you're not going to get very far in the league conceding the type of goals we do. Any team that string a few passes together just carve through us time and time again.

It seems no matter what players he picks the pattern just stays the same. 15-20 minutes looking like we’re on it, nothing works or comes off so we just lose our heads and a goal then all our shape goes.

Hopefully we can get something before half time but we usually then come out good again second half and these don’t look that great tbf considering they’re the best footballing side in Europe.

Casemiro needs to sort his shit out sharpish or he’ll be out for the team for Amrabat.

it's not that we're just awful without the football, too passive, too many spaces and players not getting back

Brighton are defending really well to be fair.

We're struggling to get the ball to Hoijland. Rashford is getting into good positions but he's making bad decisions when he gets there. Often smashing a shot against a defender who's 2 yards away.

Erikkson seems to be struggling. Not entirely sure what his role is to be honest.

Reguillon isn't as rusty as I'd feared.

Could do with some width. Anyone know what happened to that spotty lad from Brazil ?
