Van Hecke risking his life there with Licha.

Good changes but made way too late.

Lol ok. Lisandro got swatted like a small fly earlier on that Milner chance. He's the biggest (not in stature obviously) fake tough guy out there.

It's a reference to his interview after last week's game, saying he killed Traore.

Sorry I don't appreciate a 5'7" guy calling himself the butcher because he puts in yellow card worthy challenges all the time.

That’s a take. He may not win every fight given his small stature but he certainly won’t back down from any fight making him the least fake tough guy.

He doesn’t call “himself” the butcher lol that’s his nickname.

YES

 

[hatterson]

Absolutely no one covering the entire back half of the net lol

 

[Chimaera]

they've been better the last 15-20. United looked like they were holding on for a draw or a miracle goal on a break.

That's the ETH special.

Yeah, that's comical defending.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Massive defensive breakdown there. Seemed like united were more concerned with going on the counter.

 

[southsideIrish]

My cat could have knocked that one in.

 

[Chimaera]

That's the ETH special.

pretty much.

I would also add complete disorganization in the midfield and Casemiro sucking wind from 25-30 minutes in. Maybe Antony running the ball out of play, but all part of it.

 

[Blender]

Awesome stuff.

 

[Chimaera]

Give ETH another vote of confidence, 250 million and another 3 years.

 

[luiginb]

Who is this useless Minteh guy and why is he playing ahead of Adingra?

hehe

I mean had the ball touched Zirkzee's knee inside the goal, United might have ended up as the winner. It's small margins of error sometimes.

Brighton's a good team, but you don't get to claim small margin of error when you're Man United and spent 500M+ since taking over.

Massive win to start the day!

 

[Jussi]

Also, we mustn't forget that it was raining.






Shoutout to Ty!

@robertmac43

Why isn't Gruda starting yet? I actually bother to watch this farmer's league and the kid's not even on the bench? TF?

He will start next game. Got a little look today but I guess they wanted to give him some more time.

This is the biggest window we have ever had. Lot's of new players to cycle through to start the year.

Lot of small margins in a lot of seasons. The Liverpool City goal that was fractions of an inch of a difference decided that season. Players getting hurt. You name it.

At some point, how they play, how they look and the overall results have to be the main thing.

ETH doesn't get the fractional benefit of the doubt at this point if it's me. You can be fine with it

Football is a funny game. United should've been up by two goals in that first half yet Brighton scores. Then Brighton blows United away in the beginning of second, but United scores.

Zirkzee is hilarious, what a massive mistake to make. He had no business to go after that ball yet he stupidly did. Lol. Additionally, horrible schoolboy defending by Martinez. No way you should allow goals that easily for opposing teams.

Also, Dalot confuses me so much. I'm not sure what to expect because he was one of best Man United players today, but I've seen him get ripped to shreds in other matches. Is he just inconsistent?

Brighton wasn't very impressive compared to RdZ's Brighton. So careless with the ball with a ton of unforced errors due to poor decision making. If they played against a talented team, some of those mistakes would be goals against. However, I'm shocked how good Welbeck looks. I thought he would have faded out when he left the Arsenal, yet he has reinvented himself.
