[Gooner Leroy]

This is the first time in years where I'm not expecting us to take a hiding from Liverpool
Obviously this will now happen

Expect a spanking, much different scenario to the Charity Shield and a league game when it was all wrapped up. 4-1.

 

[Calpol]

I have low confidence in this United side today. At times where you are short on form and maybe fitness you need a system or pattern of play to fall back on I just don't see that Solskjaer has this in place the way the other top coaches have. Predict Brighton win sadly. 4-1 odds of that. I hope I'm wrong.

 

[adam cool dude]

Why isn't Ole starting Bailly!?

 

[mid_gen]

I think this is the best XI for United. I.e. wobbly at the back but with enough class up front to win.

 

[Converge]

Why isn't Ole starting Bailly!?

Because Ole.

 

[Ayahuasca]

United have started awfully. Brighton nearly 1 up there.

 

[adam cool dude]

Because Ole.

We are going to lose today. Can see it already.

Bailly and VDB should be starting and Pogba and Lindelof on the bench.

 

[The Running Man]

Why can't we pass a football 10 yards?

Completely agree. If only we had another CB signing so we could have Maguire on the bench too.

Seems we forget how to play football with a few weeks off.

We're poorly organised, no cohesive game plan.

So pretty standard since SAF days then

Maguire not even attempting to get in the way of that ball. Nice.

Moyes had a plan.

Ole his players are no where all the time. No passing triangles just constantly looking fir long balls.

Embarrassing.

 

[ozzaman]

So VDB is basically the best Utd player in their opening fixture and doesnt get a start here? Oh Ole what are you doing..

 

[mid_gen]

Lollers, Maguire is so slow. Needs a sprint coach to work on his acceleration.

 

[Robbo]

To be honest, stick Sancho on the wing here and not a lot changes. Would lift the club though, look at what Bruno did.

While we've had 2 really good runs since he took over, I don't really rate Ole. I've seen very little from him to suggest he's anything more than an "ok" coach, managing some talented but very streaky players.

 

[adam cool dude]

If someone said to you 10 years ago that Brighton would be dominating United in a premier league match you would have been laughed at. We are such a mess at the moment.

I have always stuck by Ole but we have gone backwards since lockdown. First eleven know they are getting picked and can play rubbish and not get swapped out.

 

[Converge]

Is Rashford even on the pitch?

Oh there he is!

 

[Sui]

Where's Jose when you need him to get the goals a bit bigger
