Just a bit of hindsight after the game: what the fuck did United actually do this window? Like, Onana is an upgrade, but I'm not convinced they've actually improved lol. Højlund is unproven at best, and while I think he could be good it's too early to tell; their midfield has replaced Fred with Mason Mount, and they have Reguilon on loan. Meanwhile Brighton have Ansu Fati, Newcastle have fucking Tonali, and Liverpool finally have an actual midfield.

United fans have already turned on Mount.

Liverpool are looking like they'll be hard to beat.

Brighton getting Ansu Fati is amazing

I agree. I was seeing signing announcements from Man United, but they seemed so over the place. Haag is a solid coach, so he must have a plan. But I'm not seeing it.

Brighton have stepped it up from being a formidable side to being a mildly terrifying one. Fati was a WTF signing for them. But they had other excellent signing this window too. And they managed to keep hold of Ferguson as well. But most of all, like us they seem to have a very clear occurs of where they want to go tactically.

Tbf Fati isn't the player he was before the injuries but still like what the fuck lol. If he can regain that confidence and ability Brighton should have a shout at CL.
