Not watching. Have Brighton become utter brick, or have united actually become decent?

Been lucky today
2nd goal a huge deflection
3rd was a foul not given even after VAR

Both are brick, utd just slightly less so and a bit lucky.

 

[DeanoAustin]

Still find it absolutely incredible and under-talked about that United haven’t lost a league game they’ve been leading at home at half time since 1984 under Ron Atkinson.

Its mind boggling even more-so given how they’ve been for 10 or 12 years now.

They both play more entertaining football than us at the moment, to be fair. ManU being the better team up until the 70th minute, Brighton playing well the last 20 min. Brighton have had some really decent attacks, in my opinion.

Entertaining football is not always good football.

I’ve seen subuteo games more entertaining than some of ours

Brentford 1 up

Entertaining football is not always good football.

I'd rather watch an entertaining game than a superb exhibition of the players on both sides following the plan, I don't go to cinema or a show to see how wonderful the photography or makeup were in the film or the set and lighting at the theatre.
Most sane fans go in the hope their team will win but there are many who want to be entertained as well.

 

[glasgowspur]

Told you, they are all brick.

 

[Kandi1977]

United still ain't got a goalkeeper though. That free kick should never be a goal! Virtually in the middle of the goal! Poor goalkeeping!

Chaos is entertaining, especially if you win or are a neutral.
I'd happily be crap but win and entertain.
To use your movie example I'd rather watch bubba hotep and be entertained than watch some the "greats".
Interstellar, shudder.

 

[Bedfordspurs]

What’s clear is teams shooting form distance are getting more joy today
Shame we don’t do it

It's good to watch! I genuinely thought both teams had technically good spells in that game, as well as it being an entertaining game. Arse are technically playing really good football this season, but I'd rather watch a game like ManU vs Brighton than them.

Brentford are totally bossing Liverpool now.

Makes me wonder about what made them tick. Brentford seem to have not lost a step despite losing Mbuemo and Wissa and a key DM.

Not exactly missing Frank are they. It's clear that a club with the right internal structure and environment is just as important as the manager.

Here's hoping Frank's career isn't destined to go the same way as Potter who left a well run club for apparent bigger and better things and got found out somewhat....

 

[afsoc4life]

Make that 2-0. Solid goal from Shade. Solid pass from Damsgaard.

 

[afsoc4life]

2-1 Liverpool strike back. Poor defending

 

[Kandi1977]

Fook me that's a lucky goal for the bin dippers! How Brentford didn't manage to clear that cross is beyond me! Bounced past several players in the box.
