Brighton deserved the win, they are a super side. Caciedo is a World Class footballer, he deserves to be playing Champions League football.
They are a joy to watch. Some wonderful players and an excellent manager. Said before kick off to my lad I had a feeling we’d be turned over, and don’t really have any complaints.

Other way round, the Brighton player gets a second yellow....and that's me saying that!

Nice to hear someone magnanamous in defeat on the forum.
It was tough for united in the end but what a great penalty!

Fair play to Luke Shaw for coming out to speak to the media and he makes a very valid point, it wasn’t a free kick.

Huddersfield were a bit shaky in the first half but in the 2nd half I'd say they thoroughly deserved the win. Sheff Utd on the beach of course, but they looked up for it early on. Neil Warnock is a footballing legend.
Just need Allardyce to take Leeds down now and I'll be a happy terrier.

Balls to that, you accept the decision and carry on in a professional manner, not throw a huff and then throw an arm at the ball because you're upset. Guy is a massive liability with his attitude.

Nothing being said about DeGea being left on the pitch after what would have been a removal from the pitch in rugby for a HIA?

He was playing football, not rugby.
He looked fine after play restarted. The need to take more time with keepers though, as they can't be taken off the pitch while play resumes.
Wish he'd been taken off just before penalty though, he isn't very good at them

No goalkeeper in the world was saving that penalty. I'm pleased for Brighton's season and hope they can afford to keep hold of their players for next season - and that's coming from a Palace fan

Disappointing for Utd.
A defeat was always on the cards, so at least it can be said that at least Utd turned up, and didn't get completely thrashed.
Created good chances, but not clinical. Sadly, like quite a few other games, we lose control of game, especially in 2nd half. So bad at keeping possession. As good as Rashford has been this season, the likes of him and Martial seem to be more reactive and less proactive in their movements, and often second best at getting to a ball. Maybe they just don't have that instinct as to getting themselves into better positions. They definitely don't challenge the opposition for aerial balls, or make proper tackles, which takes the pressure off the opposition defence.
Shaw played very well, so ridiculously frustrating he handled it at end. Definitely not deliberate, so no yellow, but no idea why players have their hands up like that? Almost an instinctive reaction for many to throw arms up when they feel contact from opponents. Can't imagine he was using them for leverage.
Fair play to Brighton though. I wouldn't mind them finishing high up the table thi season, so as long as Utd finish top 4, then might turn out to be not the worst result in the world.

Was a good penalty, but I'd still like a more intimidating presence in goal when facing it.
They were extremely slick at this last night. One thing that stuck in my mind, a round of applause to the groundsman, the team not one person. The one touch passes they made could not happen without a wonderful surface to play on. I didn't see the ball make a single bobble out of place. It's the same across most grounds now, the standard is stunning. (Part of me still hankers occasionally for a Baseball Ground or Molineux in February but that is nostalgia talking

Anthony must be worst Brazilian since Stevie wonder tried to shave his wife’s growler
He has certainly been stealing a living this year. Do you think the tantrums are there to cover that up?

Tells you how bad Forest have been when we've let him score past us
I take consolation in the fact we took 4 points off this Brighton team this season though.
