I can't see Man Utd getting less than 6 points from those remaining fixtures. -

Sorry to be miserable but I just think we're going to fall short. Main reason being that the midfield balance has just not looked right without Longstaff (LWLD the last games he's missed), and it's exacerbating the fact there is serious fatigue in that area of the pitch for us. Hope I'm wrong, but if we don't beat Brighton we're gone IMO. -
When they were good their weird milquetoast atmosphere seemed to work to their benefit. No pressure and the players thrived. But like you say it's to their detriment now their players are gutless and pathetic. Can you imagine Goodison, Elland Road or City Ground in this situation ffs. The team might be shit but at least it would be a hate filled cauldron.

5ft5. Bit small for our land of giants

Don't think it's unreasonable to say it's going to be an extremely hard game. Not just because Brighton are a good side but because their strengths will play really well against our current weaknesses unfortunately. Lack of balance to the midfield and full backs that are looking a bit tired. It probably wouldn't go well with the home crowd but I'd almost be tempted to play a bit like the away side. Keep it solid and hit them on the break.

Especially since I've been doing exactly that and making a fortune -
Brighton don't look ready to roll over this season. Going to be a tough game.
-
I don't really understand how Pickford gets away with just taking players out on the regular.
-
I never rated Mcmanaman either despite him getting some hype. However he was undoubtedly instrumental in winning the FA Cup for Wigan. Gordon hasn't really done anything at this level to justify the fee we paid.
-
I've never seen it with Gordon like. Somebody like Callum Mcmanaman showed more than he has at this level. Didn't want us to go near him for the fees reported last summer. In January I convinced myself to trust the club, as he is clearly liked by both Ashworth/Howe, and seen to have promise within the England set up. However so far he has remained a disappointment. Apart from one cameo when he made his debut off the bench and looked 'sharp' I've not seen anything from him. Definitely disappointing all-round.

Never watched Luton this season. Like watching an NBA side, land of the giants.

I'm definitely becoming negative overall but I don't think it can be overstated just how much better a point was today than a loss. I think we can take positives from it and attack these two home games knowing we can do it if we win them both. Lose today and I think we'd be done. And we very much could have lost today. -
It's an option in certain games against tired legs to move Isak into where there is space. But as your starting move it's a waste. Feel like Eddie has bowed to pressure a bit to play them both together.
-
Now I'm over my anger I think it's not a bad point.

Could really, really do with a favour from Leicester. -
Brighton is first.

Might just go for a walk or summit
-
I can't even watch. Minutes behind so just refreshing on here instead
-
Botman and Schar from set pieces are doing my nut in now like. Wish one of them would just attack the ball properly.
-
Need to change this system. The front three is all wrong. I can't believe he's stuck with Isak wide after the Arsenal game tbh.
-
Yeah we're bottling it

Leeds United vs. Newcastle United: 13/05/23 @ 12:30 (BT Sport)

In the words of Danny Dyer, I am fucking shitting myself. -
Sevilla were 4th favourites for the EL when I looked this morning. Another example of odds being out of whack when you consider the fact they basically win this tournament by default.
