This sums up the fall of United perfectly. Acting like big shots after struggling to beat newly promoted Burnley, at home, days after embarrassing themselves by losing to, and getting outplayed by, the might Grimsby of League Two.

United love Fernandes, but I think he epitomises their downfall perfectly. I would be embarrassed to have this entitled twat as our captain.

Newcastle are pretty toothless but this Leeds side is so sh*t in the final third. They have got to be going straight back down if they can't improve quickly.

Yup. Piroe is Championship level, ditto Dan James, Gnonto works hard for no end result. Goals are going to be scarce.

Grealish was much more shackled than Palmer. Pep had him in a straight jacket.

Pep didn't get much chance to shackle Palmer. Set Grealish's career back. Glad to see him back doing what he does best.

how is that not a red card?

@Valerie

a penny for your thoughts

CHO playing for Forest today and I think Liverpool will get 3 points against Arteta's team.

One thing City knows is how to keep the ball. Pesky af

Such poor defending there

City wins this. Brighton can't get te ball long enough to do anything

Brighton can’t get any final ball right. Such a poor start to the season.

Pen Brighton

1-1

Deserved. Much changed Brighton this 2nd half.

what a goal that would have been

Get in!

Brighton should be 3 or 4-1 up this half alone. City still horrific defensively.

Noicceeee 2-1 Brighton!

Match of the Day was already nauseating: it was "Jack" this and "Jack" that. Ugh.

who?

Pep is fast turning into Wenger 2.0

Don't know what happened, 1st half they were so controlling. 2nd half City are a shambles

It will take a long time to transition after KDB. Silva too.

They were only controlling because Brighton were very ineffective in their attacking end. They sharpened up and carved City open that entire 45min.

Should’ve ended 4-1.

Pep really stop caring about wingers after he brought Haaland in and relying on KdB-Silva-Gundogan-Rodri midfield

Now with most of them too old, relying on just Rodri is crazy. Everything goes thru the middle to Haaland

Just seen how a manager can influence a game and from a half where they couldnt string 2 passes together they went on an carved them open like a pumpkin for Halloween. 4 subs at once and City didnt know what hit them and were on the backfoot the whole of second half.

Sadly, I don't see our person at the wheel having the guts to make changes this radical when things are not going his way.

Guardiola either needs a sabbatical or a new club to freshen himself up. Can't help but feel that his time at City looks closer to the end the more I see them play.

You felt the same way about Brighton’s manager first 2 games, or just now because it’s convenient?
