This is probably gonna be the only way they will win atm. That first half was absolutely dreadful.

well, yeah there is that lol

 

[Calpol]

Need a few goals now to get the confidence going. Its amazing how a couple of minutes can paper over the cracks of how poor we have been.

Well we started to press, forced two mistakes. I mean it's not hard to correlate that effort = reward.

 

[robfosters]

Brighton got too cocky and overconfident, serves them right.

Should Bruno's yellow got reversed? On one hand he shouldn't moan like he did but at the same time if the ref made the correct call first time round then he wouldn't have moaned.

You absolutely love a papered crack. In fact I vote we change your name to "lining paper". United have been papering over cracks for the past 3 years and you thought we were going to win the league

No

In a word, No. Bruno needs to shut the hell up and get on with improving his play.

No. He still did what he did.

It is hard for these players to understand, that’s for sure.

No because you don’t show dissent to the ref no matter what

Even if we go on to win this 5-0, we'll be poor again in the next game. No point expecting anything else for the foreseeable.

Tbh Utd are lucky it was only him that got a yellow. There’s no need for it, they know there’s VAR as well. Sure they don’t get everything right but don’t scream in their face every time.

Do you realise how often we've been screwed by VAR lately?

 

[omnomnom]

Did the ref not see the defender? How is that clear and obvious or are they not bothered anymore...I don't think its clear that Elanga gets to that first personally. Dunk can't complain as it was brain dead defending.

You mean when Fernandes went full Anthony Joshua last week and shouldnt be playing for a few weeks?

You’ll be alright against Leeds. March is the time you might have to stock up on the antidepressants

Messi’s been awful, barely found a teammate with a pass all night.

When you are playing in a farmers league week in week out when you come up against real teams it must be a shock to the system.

He's been poor against Ligue 1 sides too, generally.

 

[Calpol]

Fred is such a terrible footballer. I reckon I'd pass it better than him and I'm 51 yo.

Indeed, 7 goals isn’t it? That’s not great considering the opposition.
