All 3 United
His tinfoil hat protects him from the Glazers.
Much better in the second half. Better of our 2 CBs today.

He's doing better in physical battles, deals with aerial balls quite well, is composed on the ball.Yep, no idea. He's done nothing wrong and I haven't been a fan of him myself. Bit of a hypocrisy, give players their credit when its' due.
Give it up Lindelof was good today.A lot of you have lowered your expectations on the standards required at united, obviously this has occurred through these sad years of mediocricy. I will not accept the quality in players such as lindeloff, Darmian, lindgard etc.
He wasn't struggling at all in the first. One of our best players already then.He was much better the second half, but I think that is making people forget how much he was struggling in the first. Hopefully the improvement as the match wore on is a sign of things to come though.

Yeah Murray was bullying him for most of the first half to the point where Smalling had to move out of position to guard him and allow Lindelof space to be free.He was much better the second half, but I think that is making people forget how much he was struggling in the first in physical engagements. Hopefully the improvement as the match wore on is a sign of things to come though.
Some people are incredibly set on having Victor as the scapegoat. These people will rate a 8/10 performance as 5/10 simply due to how much he has struggled in the start of the season. He was one of the best players today and didnt have a poor first half either.He was much better the second half, but I think that is making people forget how much he was struggling in the first in physical engagements.

I edited the post to specify that he was struggling in physical battles.He wasn't struggling at all in the first. One of our best players already then.
The Brighton striker held him off incredibly easily every time the ball went up to them. To be fair, even Smalling was struggling to get the better of him in those duels, so it's not surprising that Lindelof was struggling.I didn't see any physical struggling from him in the first half.
Very solid from first to last minute.
I didn't notice anything of that tbh. Didn't notice their striker getting the best of Lindelof during the whole game, contrary to the previous games.I edited the post to specify that he was struggling in physical battles.

If it was 'a few times' I'd agree, but it was pretty much every time Brighton got the ball and hit it up to him.Murray is a big, strong awkward and experienced striker. Criticising Lindelof for the fact he managed to hold the ball up a few times is taking nit-picking to ludicrous extremes.
Yes, that is how Murray has made an excellent career for himself. He is very good at holding the ball up, establishing position and using his strength. Mentioned it in the Smalling thread but too often people seem to expect perfection from defenders. They are up against very talented and hungry players, going to have moments when the forward gets the better of them.Murray is a big, strong awkward and experienced striker. Criticising Lindelof for the fact he managed to hold the ball up a few times is taking nit-picking to ludicrous extremes.
Brighton's best and most dangerous plays came as a result of Murray successfully peeling off Smalling and Lindelof and playing it wide. He actually did it a few times in the first half. Nothing ludicrous about criticizing that.Murray is a big, strong awkward and experienced striker.

You think there’s a defender in the league who can stop Brighton from doing that at any stage over 90 minutes? Must be some player.Brighton's best and most dangerous plays came as a result of Murray successfully peeling off Smalling and Lindelof and playing it wide.

Absolutely.Murray is a big, strong awkward and experienced striker. Criticising Lindelof for the fact he managed to hold the ball up a few times is taking nit-picking to ludicrous extremes.
Don't be so sensitive, Grot.Why are people calling him "Lindeloff"?
Is this some joke i have missed?
I guess i should at some point have gotten used to people not being able to spell our players' names after living through: Raphael, Janusai and the Lindegaard/Lingard problems....
Not at all, but he did it often enough for it to become a real concern for us in the first half.You think there’s a defender in the league who can stop Brighton from doing that at any stage over 90 minutes? Must be some player.
