No goal vids? Seeing as I couldn't watch.... :(

Happy for the 3 points but sounds like we huffed and puffed. Nevermind 3 points :drool:

Happy for the win and the fact we scored more than one goal, going to try to forget the rest though.

It honestly at times looked like we had 10 men and they had 11

Dominant in the second half, pressing well which led to multiple chances.

Why can't we score the easy chances though!! It's a big problem.

Also, Lindelof and Maguire are solid together.
I reckon that's anxiety....

Dreadful but we'll take it. I think we'll be on the end of a few drubbings in the harder fixtures to come.

Average overall. We were bullied on and off the ball in the second half. Good goal from Ronaldo and then the red card after that meant they were finished especially that their form dropped in the second half anyway.

paul should start when he’s fit, enough with McFred already. Sancho had a good first jalf, faded off in the second.

bruno was everywhere today. Glad he scored. However, he is a man that needs rest. We can not keep playing him like that.

overall, glad with a 2-0 win

Just glad we won. Wonder which club is gonna give Potter a shot with a bigger team, if he can reproduce what he's done with Brighton but with more resources he's gonna be right up there.

And we're back in the top, a mere 3 points behind Tuchel's Chelsea.

Quite how that happened is anyone's guess.

It is unbelivable how LOW the technical skills are in this team. And the runs? At several points in the game we win the ball in defence and everyone is just standing STILL. What the heck has gotten into these players? Make runs, so we can clear or move the ball up the pitch.. How difficult can it be?! Shaw is such a frustrating left back. Cucurella would take his spot in a heartbeat.. So left footed, and is never playing with urgency.. Urrrgh..

Ralf’s plan worked: lull them into complacency with the most boring and passive first half ever, then press hard for 10 minutes and see what you get. Then chill …

Delighted and very relieved

@Damien will the lineup points be corrected with Varane pulling out after being named?

Fred was diabolical. Elanga was poor. We're lacking in confidence throughout the squad and it's clear that we don't press at all as a team. Difficult to see us improving at this rate.

Our worst performance of the last 5 games, yet the best result. We are so random! Really poor first half but better in the 2nd.

We beat 10 men, yippee!
As a result of pressing better from the minute the second half started. I'll take it - Brighton are a very good team that had some good momentum on their side. I reckon they will feck up at least one of Spurs and Arsenal soon too.

Fantastic second half. Ralf came out the tunnel with a face like thunder, so it was clear a bollocking was fished out. The pressing was fundamental to the turnaround. Give Ralf his credit.

Decent second half, should have scored a few more too. Pogba made such a big difference.

We were holding for dear life at 95th minute against 10 man Brighton at the Old Trafford. Let that sink in.

Nothing has changed. We are as horrible as we have been whole season.

It makes my eyes bleed. Bruno's goal puts an undeserved gloss on it.

There is. Problem with match ratings. Varane didn’t play, where is Lindelof there?

Some of our players lack intelligence and self-awareness, awful decision making. All those times they decided to bang it into row Z and run blindly into a wall of defenders instead of passing, could have been actual scoring opportunities.

Good win still. Please play Pogba every match while he's here.
