Atrocious defending though

Brighton have a decent system in place but individually most of their players are shit.

I've seen pens given for less..

Definitely, in real time that looks like a pen but hopefully VAR will put a stop to penalties for any kind of contact.

Ben White should be ashamed. Sat on his ass twice in that move. His partner and kids will mock him for years

Connoly is trying WAY too hard to win a penno. He will not get the benefit of the doubt in this game anymore

No pen?

Connolly has been watching Bruno videos in prep for this game clearly.

Fourth time Brighton hits the post now, jesus christ

Oh shit.. March off the post, that was a great move

Fucks sake.

How is that even possible?

Bloody jammy cunts I mean come on how are United ahead.

How are United so lousy at cutting off angles inside their own penalty box?

their defence is just very bad. We can't lose to these.

Maguire and Matic don't exactly turn on a dime do they.

Disappointing if these gimps fluke the W.

In the 1980s, Manchester United had a South African goalie, Gary Bailey, who used to keep African charms in the post to protect the goal. He once had a first half where he stopped every shot that came in his direction. Then he forgot the charm in the goal when he went to the dressing room at half time. Conceded 3 goals in the 2nd half. Maybe De Gaea is using juju as well.

Too right, but even Wan-Bissaka looks like a cinderblock. It's almost like watching us last season with everyone being so flat-footed. I wonder how much of it is down to bad coaching.

Definitely think there's something to this theory Claude, especially since the post has made more saves for them than de Gea today.
