I hadn't realised how good your recent record was against them until I saw some pre game stats. You have them in your pocket

Can we play them every week..
The Brighton fans were singing
Your city's blue just like Brighton.

Anyway City are on the box now.

Shall you and I chat about that first half? Foden purring

Got the potential to be a big score

 

[Red devil]

He's the worst one on one striker in the league, yup worse than Nunes . Never looks like scoring. In those situations he either has a touch like a camel, see today, or hammers it straight at the keeper, see today .

I'd be happy to see him leave in the summer. How does your brother feel about him?

Much the same as yourself

A good afternoon out at The City Ground.

Nuno Espirito Santo’s Nottingham Forest did well to defeat Anthony Taylor’s Southampton.

Forest title charge shows no sign of stopping yet.

Nice to see Ipswich's goal difference take a battering, at least until Chelsea beat us 7-0 tomorrow.

European charge absolutely! Title - not this year

Everyone keeps writing that they expect a drop off, I expect the exact same in the second half of the season as their first.

Top 5 finish and CL football is on its way to Nottingham

Cannot believe this performance. Where’s that been all season

My point, though, is that Bayindir surely cannot do any worse than what we saw from Onana today, and what we have started to see too often again from him of late after a relatively solid start to this season.

The saves Onana has been credited with are saves you would really expect top ‘keepers to make. The mistakes, on the other hand, aren’t.

You'd like to think he wouldn't make such a mistake. But then again, he could do a Karius or Taibi.

It may be worth the gamble putting him in goal, the gamble being that putting him behind that outfield side could put him under a lot of pressure, and potentially break him.

I just don't get Mazaroui at moment. He was very solid under ETH, but looks really uncertain under Amorim. As a right wing back, he looks to have no intention of pushing forward. Diallo end up playing on the wing almost exclusively, even though he is meant to be one of the No. 10's. On the other side, Dalot tries a bit, but not much better (being a right back, playing on left wing is inderstandibly tricky). Looks to make us look really light in midfield in and out of possession.

Honestly, how is this not a booking? Gibbs-White got sent off (on Taylor’s say so from the 4th official spot) for less

Genuinely don’t understand how he can be so incompetent from week to week

Bit of confidence after a few good results. Every one wants the ball. Haaland seemed to come deep to great effect a few times. Foden looking like Foden. Green shoots

I wasn't truly confident until the 4th went in though!!

I suppose that is what you get playing a 3-4-3 without recognised attacking wingbacks. We are effectively playing a back five, leaving us horribly short in midfield.

The two positions United absolutely have to fill either this month or in the summer are those two positions.

Brighton won at old Trafford again for the third time running.

Who was running?

I've been saying that for more than a decade!

It’s Antony Taylor


That has the potential to be a bit more than a yellow

I do remember Liverpool fans saying how bad the PL refs are last season and we took a lot of stick for it.

A Taylor was and still is one of the worst.

But it amazes me that VAR just backs them up.

The Joelinton assault on motd last night was a joke,

I thought that .
Nowhere near the ball it’s a red.

Haha, I bet tomorrow we'll go back to slagging off footballers not respecting referees
