vs. Brighton

It's barely worth talking about because the problems with United lie at the top. But you're seeing clear tactical issues with Hags football this season.

In every game this season, the opposition have made changes which has allowed them to control the game, and Hag has had no answers.

Looks like we've been found out. 3 defeats in 5.

I think the culture of the club is now starting to infest match days. I do have a couple of reservations about Hag, but the shite he's had to deal with is unreal. The only thing that matters right now is a change of ownership. Lurching from season to season with the occassional sticking plaster isn't good enough. We're supposed to be the biggest club in the world. And we're rancid. We don't stand for anything any more. Leeches in the hot seat, abusers and bad eggs in the first team, awful PR, decaying stadium and training ground. The club is genuinely done. Until we change ownership, the dye is cast.

199% agree. It was pretty obvious this summer that the rats in the club decided to make the manager the fall guy again. The season was over before it started.

Purely on the football side, I thought Reguillon had a really good game, and Hojlund was very encouraging again. Casemiro looked a mile off the pace, Rashford had no awareness of what was around him, and the centre backs were awful.

Had the game on in the background with visitors over so didn't catch evenything. Don't think we looked that bad going forward. The defence however has been absolutely abysmal since Martinez went down against Sevilla in March/April. Ever since then no confidence. Like a virus spreading to usually half decent players too.

Hag suffering the same fate as Ole. Got a team better on the transition but wants to play on the front foot and we don't have the defensive nous for it. Having a rush keeper is one thing, but he needs a bit of fucking help from those in front of him. Our FB's are championship quality, Casemiro's legs are gone, McT is bluster without a defensive brain, the CB situation is fucking dire. Only Martinez is anywhere near top quality. Varane obviously still good but can't be relied on physically so not a top option.

Hag has to compromise and have us sit off. Grind out some games. Can't carry on exposing the defence like Ole did. It'll be his end.

I missed the game.
We were lucky to win the first game. Onana should have conceded that pen.

Casemiro took a while to get up to speed last season, so I wouldn’t rule him out yet. But if we paid £70-80M for a midfielder with one season left in him… fuck me.

[Fuck the Glazers]

I think it's hard to criticise individual players this time. I know some of em are shit but the whole team was pretty fucking good in the first 20 mins until Brighton figured us out.

Welbeck started dropping deep, pulling Martinez out of position and creating an extra man, and we lost control of the game. Lallana dropped deep too and it created so much space.

Hag didn't make any tactical changes at half time so the inevitable happened.

Brighton have scored 10 goals against us in the 4 games under Hag. We've scored 2. We've lost all of them. So they have our number. I don't think Hag knows how to crack them. We fell for their pressing bait again.
