Tough game that. They are pretty good defensively. Even city (ya' know, the team that's won the league 8 times this season and the best team that ever existed) struggled to break them down, so we can't have to many complaints.
Smalling and Lindelof together is a disaster waiting to happen. I have very little trust in either of them.
Have to admit, although I was calling for Rashford and Martial to be on the pitch together, it hasn't been as impressive as I'd expected. |

Rashford seems to have developed a habit of giving the ball away quite a lot, hopefully it's just a blip.
More worrying, Mata has contributed practically zero in all of his appearances this season. Mkhitaryan and Herrera have been no better - thank fuck we signed Matic.
Forget the goal, Ashley Young was head and shoulders better than any other player on that pitch today. _________________ This is Manchester, we do things differently here.

Said last year too that we need to replace Smalling. All he does is grab hold of the players. _________________ 'The trouble with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money'? |

brighton were very organised and very good, a frustrating game, not unlike many last season, but this season we seem to be turning these into wins rather than draws.
good point on Ashley Young, he has been excellent .
smalling is an accident waiting to happen, sometimes he does something very good and you start to think he may be a good defender after all, then he'll do the simplest thing so badly you wonder if he's even a footballer at all !!!
linderolf was a lot better yesterday , but playing alongside Smalling isn't going to benefit him in any way whatsoever. _________________ People say I'm condescending. That means i talk down to people |

Being my local club I do have a soft spot for them and was pleased to see them get into the PL. There supporters though.. hypcricitcal cunts. I know at least 5 who went to the game, all of them supported a 'top 6 club' only a few seasons ago. |

I like Hughton & they played well the other day but that constant small time unoriginal shite for an hour was annoying. _________________ We have some right mardy twats as fans, Chubby is the worst. |
