Tbf, Mbuemo looked decent. And it took you back in time to see Maguire leaping like an elderly salmon.
United always play well in the big occasions, and so they did even last season. What really matters is how they can play when facing the other teams in the league outside the top 6...arsenal was very poor today, and possibly one of the worst performance you'll see from them this season. Other than their solidity defending, they were atrocious going forward.Such an uninspiring performance, Gyok looks rusty which is fair, Zubimendi looked so solid..
What can I say about the defence, Saliba and Gabbers are monsters.
Raya Feline-like
Credit to United, best I've seen them in 18 months, they'll be a real threat up top in games.
Onto leeds!
Absolutely, we were torrid going forward, I'm just hoping it's cobwebs and rust.United always play well in the big occasions, and so they did even last season.

The most 'exciting' teams I watched were City and Forest in the first half. Lots of excellent players in the other matches but mind-numbing tedium with the style of play.I watched 5 games over the weekend and struggled to keep an interest in any of them,there's very little individuality or originality on show, the top teams are basically decided by who gets the most favorable decisions
That's pretty much most club football these days.I watched 5 games over the weekend and struggled to keep an interest in any of them,there's very little individuality or originality on show, the top teams are basically decided by who gets the most favorable decisions
No it’s notThat's pretty much most club football these days.
Agreed - especially considering they’ve effectively had no pre season.I'd say after the weekend's fixtures City look by far the strongest after 1 game.
Still, “winning ugly” is a skill I guess, so there’s thatArsenal don’t look like they’ll challenge based on that
