Brighton just absolutely bossing United.

 

Hmm this feels less than ideal

 

United still feels like a bunch of players that don’t really fit together. ETH obviously needs time to get the team chemistry up but I’ve felt this way for a couple years.

 

Doesn't matter what ETH does or wants to do, if we're having to play the shambles that is McTominay and Fred in midfield, this team won't improve.

 

Ronaldo second half hat trick will mask everything and make all their fans simultaneously miserable and excited

 

Hilarious that hasn't been given as a penalty.

 

Lisandro didn't get anywhere near the ball and bulldozed him to the ground

 

The more things change the more they stay the same

 

Took 50 minutes for ETH’s “system over the players” approach to go out the window then lol

 

Garnacho for Rashford and Garner for McTominay please

 

Did that not hit Dalot’s arm?

 

The last 10 mins really sums up the Robert Sanchez experience. Great save (albeit on the offside) on that break and then about 3 mistakes on the corner

 

Ref and VAR not gonna let United lose this one

 

This is the third season in a row that we’ve played the first game of the season absolutely nothing like how we played in pre season. These players are absolutely bizarre.

 

I guess I didn’t watch preseason last year because they looked great against Leeds for the first game of the season last year. I think that was the first match

 

Brentford are back level after being 2-0 down. They have looked like a different team this second half. Really great finish on the second goal.

 

Rashford finishing this game without being subbed is a crime

 

Frenkie watching like “yeah no”

 

Great second half from Brentford. I feel like Toney is going to have a really big season.

 

60 mil for cucurella and win in Manchester to open the year. Pretty good week.

 

I believe that is the first ever away win for Brighton against Man U.

 

Well the invincibles dream is over for another year. Missed most of the second half but that first half was bad stuff. Same as last year and nothing like the positive play we had in pre season. Every player was taking 5 seconds too long to do what they’ve been doing for weeks now.

still positive about our chances this season if we can sort that shit out and get a few more players in, god knows we need them. A midfielder, someone to take Rashford’s place and a striker that will move would be nice. Right back and a keeper in addition would be the dream. De Gea was at least at partial fault for both goals for me.

 

Rashford is becoming a huge problem for United. There was some stat during the game that said he hasn't scored after starting a game in the League for 15 months, which is insane.
