And this is the side who took the final European spot for next year's FIFA CWC.

He's been playing at LB, too. To keep a clean sheet against arguably the best attack (so far) in Ligue 1 is credit to their squad & the work Rosenior is doing.

It's more concerning when you consider how much support they gave him throughout the summer. If Ratcliffe continues to support United with such bizarre decisions, they will continue to decline.

I think they haven't won in their last 15 games. How O'Neil is still in a job is beyond me.

He's rise has been something. Playing regularly for Brighton & is already a permanent fixture in the Cameroonian NT at only 20.

I'm unsure if Brighton's line has been well placed on occasion or our positioning has been poor considering how many offsides we've had. Three goals ruled offside, I think.

Sancho has had some really bright moments this afternoon.

The same player, too. He's clearly after that title this season. 😄

In all fairness, if we didn't have Sanchez in goal, we'd probably still have a cleansheet intact despite that.

Palmer has scored four goals in a single game twice since joining us. He's truly becoming the World Cup offensive player we've been waiting for.

Sanchez and greediness. That's giving Brighton hope.

Something else from Palmer. He really should have 4 as well.

Webster ain't getting back. That should be a red all day.

We are one side Brighton shouldn't be playing that line against especially considering who they have at the back.

Third time is the charm. I thought Jackson had messed up the chance up, as he was clearly in to minds. Brighton seem so open. We could have easily scored 3 in as many minutes.

Great pass from Enzo. Palmer should have probably passed to be sure, but Jackson didn't help him either. We managed to miss a 3v1 last season, IIRC.

Just when Sanchez was getting some praise. Erratic!

I thought Felix or Nkunku might have gotten the nod to start with Palmer possibly starting out wide.

Do you think Slonina won't be in the picture at all, @Vesper?

I'd say decent is probably an understatement. Nkunku might have scored against Bournemouth, but Sanchez was the reason we were even still in the game at that point.

The current result aside, I have no idea how ten Hag is still at United. He really should have been sacked well before the FA Cup final. Either way, it's a win-win for everyone else.

Nkunku has his shooting boots on (poor keeping has helped, tho).

Superb assist from Felix

It might only be Barrow, but I'm still worried about that midfield. 😅

A loan of any sort should have been agreed once the club had intentions of signing Sancho. I can't see him playing more than a handful of games until Jan. He's right at the bottom of the pecking order having failing to impress when given chances in the opening games.
