THIS IS MANCHESTER UNITED #143 (2019/20) - Rebuilding The Team!

What a poor game and martial machiam non existence. We need to buck up

[Liang_Zai]

We should have been more clinical n trash brighton and improve our goal difference.nevertheless 3points in the bag

[KeeHuat]

Rashford needs to improve his conversion rate. He misses too many chances. Our defence with high balls is a worry. But at least we got 3 points today.

I like the way they "woke up" when Brighton pulled a goal back. The way we hit back with the quick goal was great and yes, MR should have put us in a much more comfortable position had he not missed a sitter.
But at least in the 2nd half, we see some fighting spirit in our lads.
Hope SM is not too seriously injured towards the end of the game

We had a good game.
Was particular impressed with the midfield control compared to we started in earlier games.
Have to improve on our finishing in goals.
Lost too many valuables goal difference.
B.Williams can take over the old Young anytime.

Totally agree that it is time for Young to be rested and let Brandon Williams take over. This lad had a great game tonight. Fearless and quick but the only negative is can be abit too robust in his challenges

Really think the FA should relook VAR.
So many controversies. Seems to favour "certain" teams from losing teams perspective.
Haha..just like when certain referee officiates game, we already know which team would get the worst deal when critical decisions had to be made

[KeeHuat]

Williams can take over the left back spot if he continues to perform the way he has been playing so far. He has the Roy Keane "take no prisoners" attitude and also can't be bullied even though he is young.

The 3 forwards James, Martial and Rashford played well but the finishing to put the ball in the net should improve. Fred is improving. Brighton's keeper played well.

I don't think I saw Lindelöf head the ball at all. Defence needs to improve in clearing high balls into the box. Only defender that is constantly heading the ball is Maguire. We will probably need to get a better centreback to partner Maguire. maybe Tuanzebe or another young player

Yes. The FA should relook into the VAR.

MCstarted very well until pools scored in the 6min.
Before this goal, there was a hand ball at the other end which the MC players protested.

The first goal should NEVER be allowed to stand. Whether it is handball by Bernado or TAA (which should then be penalty), the game should have been STOPPED.
The VAR rule states very clearly that if the ball is LAST handled by the opposition and thereafter leads to a goal, the goal is NOT COUNTED.
We can see very clearly that the ref (supposed to be the best in the League) did not understand this rule.
If the first goal did not go Liverpool's way, the game could have been different if penalty was given.
The irony is that Klopp would say that TAA was too close to avoid the ball, thus agreeing that the ball did last touched the attacking team that led to goal.
Either way, the game should have either restarted or penalty awarded.
The fact that VAR only argued that TAA touched the ball cos he was in close proximity, that means Oliver is hopelessly wrong.
MC can only view this as yet another decisive decision for Liverpool, but NOTHING can be done now

Anyway, had never liked Oliver to officiate our matches
