Brighton were poor last week and have something to prove. I like Chris Hughton as a manager, I think he'll turn it around for his team.
Whether you hate Mourinho or merely dislike him, you have to admit his teams are always hard to beat. However, Manure dropped points against weaker sides last season and I just get the feeling the camp still isn't a happy one in Manchester.

Brighton 1 Man Utd 1

Rash one from Bailly, no arguments.

Not helped out by De Gea's pass, of course.

Macclesfield Town/Manchester City. It's complicated.

how's the karma tasting mate

Redcafe is GOLD today

I've got more important things to be doing than going on Redcafe, mate - I'm reading a book and eating sweets.

They taste sour.

Wow, we look so poor. Nothing has changed in our approach. Constantly passing sideways and backwards. It's really hard to watch.

I'm beginning to think k Mourinho just isn't up to the task. Spent a fortune and we're just not improving at all.

Fantastic bounce back from Brighton, they look totally different to the team that lost tamely last weekend. Not being funny, I think they need a fourth to make this safe. Hello, Rashford is coming on, Mourinho must be spooked!

Martial off, a heavily strapped Fellani on. Come to us Martial, you'll get regular football, a manager who will get the best out of you, and 60,000 Spuds singing your name....you know it makes sense.

No surprises, I think Mourinho is a lost cause, this all feels very Chelsea 2015/16. United haven't looked good when falling behind since Ferguson left, pitiful vs two banks of four. The defensive calamity today won't be repeated throughout the season, but it's evident that United won't be close to challenging this season. I mean, it was obvious weeks ago, but painstakingly so now. Can we fast track this and get someone else in with a different executive now rather than in six months? Ta.

Bad day at the office for the team in red but it is way too early to write them off. Mourinho did looked shocked and befuddled when Brighton went 3-1 up, as though the actors in a film he is directing decided to use a different script to the one he gave them. Big result for Brighton, terrible result for Man Utd. Chelsea used an early defeat to go on a brilliant run a couple of seasons ago. Can the "special one" do the same?

Nah, I have seen enough in the past two seasons to write them off. Nothing has changed. And Liverpool + City are even stronger than they were.

This was a fascinating mid-table clash.

I'm a jaded United fan, let me wallow in apathy.

City
Liverpool
Spurs
United/Chelsea/Arsenal fighting for the other spots

End the season now. Bring back the World Cup. :ohn:

I'm with you there, all the time England were in it was like the whole nation (Scotland, Ireland and Wales are just annexes of England, face facts you Celtic heathen) had a spring in their step. Happy days...:bg:

Pretty sure he can't wait to leave/see the back of Mourinho.

A guid dram
Brighton are good at home, this shouldn't be a shock result against a mediocre side.

United's strengths over the years has invariably been the cohesion in their defense ,they have always had CB's who compliment each others game and successfully cover the weaknesses of their fellow defenders whilst allowing them a veritable safety net. I just never seen any real understanding between Bailly and Lindelof ,it remains to be seen if over time they can develop this ,or if the manager has the time or indeed the patience to watch it come to fruition.

I just think this new breed of football fan is less inclined to afford players the space to grow and patience is a trait lost on the restive ,that said, I think United will be far more compact when their Serbian metronome returns to sit in front of the defense and this in turn affords Pogba the space to push in behind the attack.

Lastly,I'm perplexed how a player of Herreras quality is not utilized to maximize his undoubted dexterity on the ball ,I remember watching from the Kop in 2015 totally transfixed at how he completely controlled the midfield ,it was no surprise when we introduced Gerrard and he was impelled by what he had witnessed from the bench to stop the lad by fair means or foul.

United played us off the pitch that day and strolled to a 1-2 away win and we witnessed a consummate master class from a seriously underrated player.
