PL - for letting abysmal officiating to continue
 
Class from Mbuemo and Cunha. Casemiro is still some player. Fantasy three points and now three wins in a row finally with Liverpool away and our bogey team BHA!

There's definitely a corner turned.
 
Hope things are finally clicking. It's reminding me of Amorim's second season with us.
 
Chills in my body hearing Glory Glory Man United. I haven’t felt this way in a long time!
 
We're fun to watch and finally getting the results we've deserved from the start of this season
 
# Taylor can suck a fat one, that dude let a lot of fouls go left and right

# Mbuemo is a beast

# Glad Cunha got his first goal

# Mainoo is not the guy to replace Casemiro when trying to keep the machine ticking, that should be Ugarte

# Positive goal difference?

# Did not like Lammens free kick saving, that free kick was slighly off middle of the goal. He should save that.

# Zirkzee should be more aggressive when defending corners, but he is probably very rusty.

# Nice to see Amorim has adopted our culture of not doing things the easy way, Christ...
 
Fully deserved, they managed 2 goals out of nowhere but we smashed today, the feckin curse voodoo is broken.

Mbeumo is the best player on the pitch, Cunha good goal and good game, Sesko assisted, all round good game.
 
Amorim's dumb substitutions almost buried us. Good game from the attacking players.
 
Absolutely delighted. New signings looked fantastic. Great chemistry, the players looked confident and up for it.

The way we fell off a cliff after the subs was a bit scary. I'm glad in a way that we're not in Europe this season. Hopefully we can build some strength in depth before we're back in those competitions.
 
Things went bad when Casemiro went off. We are in the top4 and a good set of fixtures coming up.
 
So many smiles amongst the players. The vibe really must be good amongst them all.

Broke the duck of 2 in a row. Now 3. On to being unbeaten for 10 please.
 
Poor depth, 7-8 good enough first XI players. It's starting to gel, but let's just play the good players and buy a midfielder in January. And maybe a left wing back who can handle things.

Subs derailed us, but the first half was very promising.

This!
 
Feck Brighton the try harders!

3 wins on the bounce! Get in!

Nothing to complain about really! Bar a couple individual errors late on everyone put a shift in and dug in during Brighton’s late surge!

Onwards and upwards!
 
Everything was going smoothly until Amorim decided to test our patience with those subs.
And it's upto the players coming on to step up and make sure we get it over the line.

Despite whatever narative comes out and no doubt there will be some nonsense, we were lucky, we controlled Brighton for the vast majority of the game.
 
Depth need addressing. Do feel we need to do some transfer business in January Lost control when Casemiro went off, the frantic end of the game may be the story, but up until Welbeck's goal I thought we were in control and considering the opponent that's one of the best performances under Amorim.

There is a team in there somewhere.
 
Dont give minutes to subs for the sake of it. Casemiro was so crucial and the moment we replaced him, we started losing the control.

Heaven did okay but Dorgu and Mainoo wasn't good enough
 
Great match. Just lost control when Casemiro got subbed. Mainoo positioning and intensity are miles below Case. Once we got Ugarte there it was better. But still don't replace Case composure.
Love how well Mbuemo fit with this team. Dorgu needs to go. He's not good enough
 
Dorgu, Ugarte, Zirkzee and Mainoo should never be on the pitch together. The drop in quality from first teamers to those is crazy. Dorgu makes Dalot look like prime Roberto Carlos.
 
Brilliant fecking result, huge for Ruben & the teams confidence that, love it!!
 
Made that a lot harder than it needed to be. Thank god we got the job done there. 3 on the bounce feels good.
 
Fun game. Some brilliant pressing, the players looked hungry to prove Anfield wasnt a fluke.
 
Happy to win. Should have never ended 4-2 though. 5-0 should have been the real final score.
 
I can't believe we are 4th after all this.

We are building in confidence
 
And it's upto the players coming on to step up and make sure we get it over the line.

Despite whatever narative comes out and no doubt there will be some nonsense, we were lucky, we controlled Brighton for the vast majority of the game.

Brighton had more shots strangely.

XG and all that shite is pointless in one off matches, cumulative stats don't illustrate context in these games
 
First team players, great. Replacements, not so much.
That's basically it. And the first team still also has some weak spots.

But for now, I'll just enjoy that we have three wins in a row, our new signings are scoring, and that we were good to watch for most of the match. This squad is always going to deliver some disappointments and shaky performances, but we came out of it really well today.
