3 pts, no calamities at the back leading to a BHA goal.
 
Champions, Champions!!!

What an amazingly well-managed final. Stuff of dreams and the best time to be alive.
Champions, Champions!!!



Can’t believe we are Champions of Europe once again.
Are you better now?
 
Grateful that we won but boy was that a painful watch. We lucked out in the end.
 
There's plenty of these type of games every season, if you get the 3pts you celebrate and move on
 
Brighton played well. Can easily see why they havent lost in 5 games and are in the top half. 3 points is all that matters though.

Spurs drawing at home makes it a good win.
 
Matic was shocking. We'll take all 3 of those points though thank ya very much
 
Don't know why everyone expected us to destroy Brighton. They are very solid at the back, the team everyone is wanking over, City, struggled to score against them.
Basically sack Jose

This is our United. Next game, I think.
 
Nice! So important to win this! Brighton played this like it was a cup final. So difficult theese kind of games. Well done!
 
Dross. Everyone foaming at the mouth over the lineup as well.. supposedly our best available side today, brimming with attacking intent.
 
Granted the conditions were atrocious, but we made hard work of it.
 
don't understand how we can have Mata, Pogba, Martial, Rashford, and Lukaku all on the pitch at the same time and still look clueless and disjointed going forward. Thankfully luck was on our side with young's strike.
 
Scrappy win for Zé Mota's team
 
Painful to watch. If we would have conceded a goal, imagine the meltdown...
 
Let's be honest, this is dire, isn't it.

Mourinho's been in charge for about 80 games now, he's spent a fortune and the football is dreadful. We don't have an attacking tactic apart from lumping the ball into the box.

The priority is clearly size and strength over flair and finesse, and we've got no idea what to do whenever anyone matches us.

Mourinho's sorted the defence and made us hard to beat, and that's great, but let's move on at the end of the season. Get rid of him and bring in someone who can actually deliver quality football.

And for all the apologists and name-callers, if you think that sort of football is worthy of United then sorry, but you're deluded.
 
I would rather want to watch Guardiola's United than Mourniho's. First time yawning while watching since LVG.
 
Our players seem satisfied most of the match today for doing the absolute minimum to win.

Actually this case has been repeated multiple times with Mourinho since his appointment.
 
3 points after a CL away fixture is always a goood result. Spurs couldn't manage it.
 
Dogshit performance with OG saving the day with a goal fit to win such a game, other than Lindelof there was nothing positive from the player performance side of things.
 
Not great at all. You have to be happy with three points but we were very very sluggish. We lack identity and the way we move the ball so fecking slowly was reminiscent of LVG's tenure. We need to get much better than this if we're to get anywhere this year.

Still, three points against an enthusiastic well-drilled side cannot be sniffed at.
 
They are a bastard of a team to play, Hughton has them drilled extremely well.

Could have done with an easier game before travelling to Watford.
Indeed.

I've seen a lot of Brighton this season and they're a very tough cookie to crack.

The usual RedCafe moaners will have you believe it's the end of the world but Watford will be far more open than Brighton were.

Arsenal always give you loads of chances too.

3 points, Spurs dropped 2 easy points and Liverpool or Chelsea will drop points this evening too.

Time for a beer.
 
Let's just move on. A very unsatisfying win but will get those over a season. Let's hope that performance doesn't happen many more times
 
3 points. Can't complain.
You absolutely can complain. That performance was dreadful yet again, perform like this in the next 3 PL games and we will struggle to pick up 3 points combined.

Mourinho hasn't got a clue how to set up this team, you'd think we'd have learnt how to play against a team who park the bus as it was our undoing last season.
 
Couldn't care less how they played, the three points are the main thing. Watford is up next! Forget about this..
 
Gadawful but I will take the 3 points and move on. We have a long way to go before we challenge for anything meaningful though.
