- maguire, despite his experience, opted not to clear the teasing cross into the box and it led to brighton first goal. a defender cannot take such a risk as he is unsure if there are opponents behind him
- amad performance was half and half, scored a goal, but two moments in the first half showed that his poor decision making: attempted to connect with dalot cross with his left foot instead of his head; and his pass was behind rashford during a counter and the attack totally fizzled out
- ETH subbing fernandes off was strange, man u need his vision and ability to create smth out of nothing. i felt that ETH was settling for a draw but it backfired
- conceding a late winner is harsh as a draw is the fairer result, but from a objective pov, man u deserve the loss because of poor defending. the players were drawn to the ball and nobody was defending the left and it led to the winner
- next match is at home vs pool, i hope de ligt can adapt in time and ETH select him ahead of maguire

This happened in most of last season's matches which was why they ended in 8th position their worst ever placing ...baldy never learn his lessons..he keeps repeating the same mistakes in his starting XI, his tactics, his reading of the game n his poor substitutions...
still can't hold on for a win or a draw n always kena goal in the last few minutes of the game (weak mentality, endurance n technical ability to defend till the ref blows his final whistle)...some no-brainer fans still keep asking to give him time to build up his team but this is already his 3rd year ...look at Arne Slot of Pool, Husler of Brighton n Maresca of Chelsea they r very new managers in the EPL n leading their 1st 2 games of the new season n yet u see they win their matches easily n confidently scoring many goals esp Chelsea (6 goals in just one match)
...it just shows he is not a good football manager....time for him to go n let the club get a new good manager....
