What a lad Pickford is. He just saved some lives from heart attacks caused by those gut-wrenching last few minutes. Great game, 3 points!

And also, Chelsea and Liverpool dropping points today, and Huddersfield beating Palace 3-0 away. What a matchday.
 
Much better 2nd half but still a lot to work on. Hope we ditch that 3 at the back formation for good and won't play Klaassen and Rooney together.

3 points though ;)
 
We really needed that win. Everything changed in the second half, Im not sure if it was them getting tired or the changed formation, but all of the sudden Rooney had much more space in the middle, and we had more opportunities to break as well. Didnt finish some of them because we still need a striker, but defensively we were rock solid, outside of the one shot allowed near the end. Pickford didnt have to stop much but man did he command the box well, and great save when he needed to make it.

Plus dropping balls 40 yards on someones feet certainly didnt hurt either.
 
Some shocking performances out there today, worst of all from our manager I'd say. A win is a win though and hopefully the board will get some new players in, because damn we don't half need them.

Stoke need a load also then. Chelsea, Place and Liverpool too. It's first game of the season and we have a rare win despite being disjointed. If after 10 or so games we are still playing as we are then concerns will grow.
