Brighton a team of two halves - brilliant in the 2nd again
City were awful in that 2nd 45 though. Some strange s*** going on there at the moment...
Don't worry Pep... you got Dr Tottenham next![]()
The fact that they have significantly better bankrolls than Bolton, Blackpool or Barnsley does play a slight role in their being able to be competitive, as that's what allows data-based scouting instead of the old model of cobbling together a team of journeymen and superannuated ex-Man Utd or Arsenal players which was followed by the likes of West Brom every other seasonThe three Bs - Brighton, Bournemouth and Brentford- are traditionally lower league teams and do not have the support and resources to go toe to toe with the top sides. You’d mark them down as immediate relegation candidates when arriving in the PL. Yet they are all playing dynamic, progressive football and all three must be in with a good chance of finishing in the top half
Think they should check the H T refreshments at the American Express stadiumThey were, a bit like we were, Brighton still took advantage and thoroughly deserved it
The ref seem to signal no foul I guess because Salah was off balance. Looked a likely red to me though if Nunez hadn't scored.That’s a superb counter.
Was like Jose’s Madrid style ones.
Bailey “lucky” Nunez went onto score too, otherwise I think that’s a red card.
A certainty I'd have said, especially at Anfield in front of the kop! Took it well, though missed a couple of much easier chances later on....The ref seem to signal no foul I guess because Salah was off balance. Looked a likely red to me though if Nunez hadn't scored.
It's like the universe is looking to convince them to stick with van NistelrooyDespite being so poor, Utd are only 4 points off 3rd place!
We could spin that the other way. Many of the traditionally ‘good’ teams this season have been poor, and probably quite a few of those even more poor than United and yet you’re still only in 13th having played no traditionally big club away from home. Arsenal haven’t played well once this season really for example. City haven’t really played at all for quite some time. Spurs haven’t consistently properly got going yet. Villa are stop start. Newcastle have only just started playing well.Despite being so poor, Utd are only 4 points off 3rd place!
