Can’t believe some fans on here are using this victory over our b team over Brighton B team as some type of progress. Has Ole really lower our standards so much? Our most expensive player on the pitch probably cost more than Brighton full 11 today. Nevertheless, it good to see that we aren’t completely shite at football to loose to Brighton B side. Now hopefully, we can do much better in the games that matter and not rely so much on luck and set piece. Despite Spurs schedule congestion, they will still be a tough match. Hopefully, it won’t be another step backwards after Sunday.
Any win is a good win, there's nothing wrong with that and winning/getting the results is what matters, especially this early in the season. Every loss is magnified as the end of the world and the sacking of Ole, it's called overreaction.
Luck is a significant part of football...the ball is round, as are the balls that draw your next opponent in cup competitions. When the ball is round, shit will happen. It'll go against you or for you, just part of the game. Deflections, hitting the woodwork, etc.
Playing against Spurs, United cannot beat themselves and make mistakes that allow Spurs to punish them. Another quarter an hour for Pogba and Rashford did them well. More match fitness for all the players. Good to see Maguire kept out today to rest/recovery.
