    A classy touch by Pogba to braid the Everton colours into his hair for the occasion. #respect

    No idea why Tom Davies didn't take the shot.

    I don’t blame Davies there, always works in Fifa and never offside.

    When United are leading a game towards the end, do their fans shout defend, defend, defend-defend-defend? I hope so, they might not know what to do otherwise.

    It'd be more guidance than they get from the manager.

    Man Utd had such an easy start to the season as well. Had them at least a few points clear. Now their fixtures start to get a tough. 0-0’s galore incoming

    It's the exact same shit every single week. It's worse than when they were bollocks, because this squad could do something.

    Yep. Today was a bit better in the first half but then Ole made the changes to make sure we reverted to the norm.

    Maybe if the Glazers give him a few more decades he might figure something out because two seasons worth of games doesn't appear to have been enough.

    I wonder whether crowds returning has smoked him out a bit more now that things are back to normal intensity levels. You can't just grope your way back into games and count on late defensive lapses.

    Alex Ferguson taught us that the Manchester United Manager needs at least five years before you can really judge him.

    Coventry utterly bossed us that second half, they looked very good.

    Even without the penalty earned from a shocking dive, they would have battered us. That's a big wake up call - 3 losses from the first 11 is not promotion material. Hopefully we can improve over the international break.

    Not looked at the data but is Coventry just fluking it? Gyokeres looked crap for Brighton and there's nothing in their entire squad.

    Also Ronaldo looks a bit less effective in games where goalkeepers selfishly don't roll them along the line for him to tap in.

    They seem very well coached. Pressed us well without over-committing and constantly overloaded our full backs all game long. Gyokeres seemed to just have great positioning all the time, especially for his 2nd goal, and he could have had a hat trick if not for a class save.

    Gyokeres was good for Brighton U23s.

    He'll pull it now if another manager is keen. I don't think Bruce's contract is long-term.

    I don’t think Thomas Partey has had a shot on target in his Arsenal career and how he’s taking 35 yard free kicks.

    Six wins out of six home games so far, half of them after being behind at half-time. Combine that with the free fourth shirt that celebrates the iconic architecture of the Coventry Building Society Arena, season ticket has been a bit of a bargain so far

    This match is absolute trash. Think Brighton just got their first shot in target having had about 16.

    This match has been god awful and yet somehow feels our best performance at Brighton away since they got promoted.

    I’ve said since day 1 that Arteta is 1000x the manager Emery ever was.

    If he starts playing Martinelli he can have a Pardew esque 10 year deal.

    With Emery I'm willing to subscribe to the theory that his methods only work in Spanish. There's no way you can win as many trophies as he has while being useless.

    I think it’s 50/50. that was a factor because the amount of times 90% of the team looked like they had no idea what they were doing whereas his English speaking set piece coach had us as the best in the league on that front was glaring.

    I think also he works better as an underdog. You shouldn’t be adapting your game plan to some team that hasn’t won in 8 games. It didn’t matter who we were playing below us, it always felt like an even game.

    Clever from Watford. They get to try the new manager bounce now and again in February when they sack the next binman.
