[–]QuicktimeSamPogba 252ポイント253ポイント  (21子コメント)

All the lads played well today but fuck me, isn't it great seeing Luke Shaw running things at left back again?

[–]darkcoolster 53ポイント54ポイント  (10子コメント)

Solid defensively, if he can attack like he did last season out left flank will be scary

[–]Mesial 32ポイント33ポイント  (9子コメント)

Gotta try and link up with Martial better and then we'll be set. The Memphis and Shaw chemistry last year was great.

[–]darkcoolster 8ポイント9ポイント  (5子コメント)

That's very true. Martial not being at top form may be affecting Shaw's attacking as well

[–]QuicktimeSamPogba 14ポイント15ポイント  (1子コメント)

Although Martial seems to be in the wrong, too. Your ex selling your life story to the papers would be all over your mind. Hope it all blows over quickly.

[–]darkcoolster 17ポイント18ポイント  (0子コメント)

He can also be still trying to gain fitness. Remember France got to the finals in the Euros so Martial joined the squad late. I'm confident Martial will improve as the season goes

[–]DankMeneDave Saves 6ポイント7ポイント  (2子コメント)

I'm very excited if "not being at top form" means 2 assists.

[–]darkcoolster 14ポイント15ポイント  (0子コメント)

The first one seemed pretty lucky and the second one was mostly Zlatan. We all know this isn't Martial's top form and he can be a lot better

[–]cookie1254Rafael 26ポイント27ポイント  (0子コメント)

Remember when people were talking about how over priced he was? Looks absolutely excellent despite just coming back from a massive injury. Plus he's still only 21.

[–]SarcasticDevilRafael 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

Yep, would like to see him get forward more though. It looks like they're directed to attack down the right

[–]jaqqzorrManchester United 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

Really wonderful to see. I was worried sick that the leg break would have lasting effects. Doesn't seem that way though!

[–]The_ProdiggityJavier 'Chicharito' Hernandez 1ポイント2ポイント  (1子コメント)

Every time he went for a slide tackle I get flashbacks.

[–]apegoneinsane 225ポイント226ポイント  (25子コメント)

Never been his biggest fan but man, Fellaini was so good. Completely and single-handledly shutdown waves of attack.

Bailly continues to be really impressive. Will be exciting to see how the team plays out with Smalling back and Miki and Pogba fully integrated as midfield was sluggish.

[–]manutd875 37ポイント38ポイント  (13子コメント)

Smalling and Bailly will be very solid.

[–]MisterCroyleVidic 69ポイント70ポイント  (4子コメント)

I feel like everyone's writing off Blind far too soon here...

[–]plus1internetsRooney 8ポイント9ポイント  (0子コメント)

No one's writing him off. He is a solid option to have but Smalling is just the complete Mourinho defender and should be starting when available.

[–]manutd875 8ポイント9ポイント  (0子コメント)

Not really, I really like Blind, I just don't think he'll take the spot of Smalling or Bailly.

[–]icallbullshitsFerdinand 15ポイント16ポイント  (5子コメント)

You never know. They're the same type of defender. It's not ideal.

[–]yuma712Shaw 4ポイント5ポイント  (0子コメント)

Think Blind is a must. Atleast until he gets found out.

[–]chandoo86SAF 4ポイント5ポイント  (1子コメント)

Agreed, but we keep underestimating blind, he made some perfectly timed tackles today, but similar to last year, he might have difficulty against the faster and more physical players. I'm a fan though!

[–]ValisenManchester United 10ポイント11ポイント  (1子コメント)

I'd love to see Fellaini flourish under Mou.

[–]darkcoolster 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

Maybe he will be the Matic for us this season. Still only two good games so far, will need more games to see how good he can be

[–]vincent1989Herrera 9ポイント10ポイント  (3子コメント)

I'm still not convinced. I feel Fellaini steps up and tackles to soon leaving space. Solid performance though

[–]omaroaoShaw 17ポイント18ポイント  (2子コメント)

I think the system helps him, Blind covered for Fellaini exceptionally well.

[–]AMAaboutAMemphis 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

Blind was really solid once again. Smalling's gonna have a hard time displacing him I think.

[–]rajathagasthyaScholes 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

Fellaini was unspectacular, but stuck to the basics really well. Short, simple passing and rarely gave the ball away. Of course, it's only Bournemouth but I think Mourinho will use him wisely.

He's what we've been missing since Vidic left.

[–]jorgelucas7 26ポイント27ポイント  (0子コメント)

Hahahahaha, exactly my thought. He's that crazy motherfucker you used to hate playing when you were younger. His only objective is to fuck you up and not care.

[–]TyperSniperKeane 39ポイント40ポイント  (2子コメント)

Scary to think how well we played without Pogba with a team that hasn't 100% gelled yet.

[–]BotfeldtGiggs 28ポイント29ポイント  (0子コメント)

MOTM: Bailly. Also, it makes me so glad to see a real proper striker in our team. It was long needed. ZLATAN!

[–]TicklingGnomeHerrera 96ポイント97ポイント  (12子コメント)

"Zlatan is too old, his legs are gone... He can't play in the PL... I don't like his haircut..."

ZLATAN SCORES WHEN HE WANTS and I'll be damned if it's not fantastic to see him in this team.

Tony V, Bailly, Fellaini and Herrera all had very good games as well I thought.

[–]darkcoolster 18ポイント19ポイント  (2子コメント)

First half Valencia was so threatening, love that guy

[–]QuicktimeSamPogba 1ポイント2ポイント  (1子コメント)

I was kinda sad that Rooney didn't hand him the captaincy when he was substituted.

[–]strawzySchweinsteiger's godly calves 9ポイント10ポイント  (1子コメント)

All my mates were wanking themselves silly with the ibra circlejerk.

Soon as the rumours started he was coming to us they all started saying "too old, past his prime, overrated" etc.

Fuck them all- top of the league!

[–]conmdur 22ポイント23ポイント  (1子コメント)

Bailly making me feel the warmth and safety usually only a mother can.

[–]Allard1994Good one Jose, good one. 52ポイント53ポイント  (10子コメント)

MOTM for me is Blind.

[–]tranceminSmalling 33ポイント34ポイント  (7子コメント)

It was odd seeing how calmly he took the ball away in 1 vs 1 moments.

[–]CosmicGravyMemphis 4ポイント5ポイント  (1子コメント)

He's always like that. I think he really compliments a really physical defender like Smalling/Bailly with his technical ability. I'm honestly not sure who Jose should drop for Smalling, if either

[–]tranceminSmalling 5ポイント6ポイント  (0子コメント)

You never shake up a defensive partnership when there is quality and consistency. Smalling/Jones have to wait for a fatigue rotation or an injury to get their chance in the team.

[–]t00th0rn 15ポイント16ポイント  (3子コメント)

But.. he's a 'utility player' and a 'squad player' and he's 'slow' and 'physically weak' and bla bla blah.

When will /r/reddevils finally rate him for the star player he is?

[–]mswissHerrera 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

That one on one with Ibe was class.

[–]StampedByGerrardVidic 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

He's a fantastic player to compliment both Smalling and Bailly. Would be devastated if he left.

[–]FlyingSnoopyPaul Scholes, he scores goals! 49ポイント50ポイント  (2子コメント)

I'm glad Rooney scored, but goddamn he was awful.

[–]TheRealPeteWheeler 63ポイント64ポイント  (3子コメント)

With Blind playing so well, I say we come out next match in a 4-6. Bailly, Blind, Shaw, and Smalling in the back with Martial, Rashford, Rooney, Zlatan, Pogba, and Memphis as six lone strikers. It's called the Blitzkrieg, and it works in FM.

[–]BBQ_HaX0rStannis the Mannis 10ポイント11ポイント  (2子コメント)

The 2-3-5 works wonders as well in FM, don't think we should try it! lol

[–]bballpro15 13ポイント14ポイント  (2子コメント)

Bailly MOTM

[–]Mr_ClarkMourinho 7ポイント8ポイント  (0子コメント)

Absolutely. He was so consistent. His positioning was really solid. He was physical with attackers but he wasn't dirty. Very Vidic like.

[–]cookie1254Rafael 13ポイント14ポイント  (0子コメント)

Can't wait to see how we look with Pogba in the side, we're already seeing improvements over LVG despite a very disorganised pre season

[–]MoosjeMartial 12ポイント13ポイント  (1子コメント)

The only awkward thing is the worst player on the pitch today is our captain and club legend. Love the guy, but think going forward we'd be better off giving him less time.

Happy with the win though. Some good goals, good defense and Eric Bailly with two consecutive man of the matches.

[–]TheTazTurnerRooney 4ポイント5ポイント  (0子コメント)

The worst player on the pitch today still scored a goal and we won by 2. I think its going to be an entertaining season to say the least.

[–]im-ronnie-pickering 11ポイント12ポイント  (0子コメント)

we have already scored 6% of the goals from last year

[–]Set-Abominae 9ポイント10ポイント  (1子コメント)

Haters gonna hate, but Fellaini was excellent. Wonder if him and Pogba can play together.

[–]VanizOneValencia 7ポイント8ポイント  (0子コメント)

Mkhi did a good job, I really want to see more of him.

[–]jtmadsen 6ポイント7ポイント  (0子コメント)

I thought Fellaini played a great match today. Nice to see Zlatan with a debut goal, hopefully he'll score a lot more this season. Bailly was great in defence, especially in first half. Sad, we couldn't get the clean sheet, but all in all, very happy with the result.

[–]strawzySchweinsteiger's godly calves 6ポイント7ポイント  (0子コメント)

Not to get ahead of ourselves after one game but we've basically won the league lads.

[–]ParkerZAYoung 5ポイント6ポイント  (0子コメント)

Decent performance, got better as the game went on. Martial was anonymous most of the game but did better in the 2nd half. Shaw was a rock, as usual, MOTM for me, though Fellaini, Herrera and Mata all played well.

Rooney though... so frustrating to watch. He has no idea what to do with the ball on the edge of the box, he always ends up facing away from goal and passing it back, breaking down any bit of good play. Took his goal well though.

[–]McGrifty 10ポイント11ポイント  (0子コメント)

100% win rate with Mou lads

[–]GolDeScholes 8ポイント9ポイント  (0子コメント)

Lads, Fellaini played well. In centre midfield. What a time to be alive!

[–]MattSR30He's big, he's brave, he's Spanish Dave! 8ポイント9ポイント  (1子コメント)

Bailly best on the pitch today, followed by Fellaini.

Blind, Mata, Herrera and Valencia all great.

Shaw's looking on his way back up.

Mkhi and Memphis looked sharp when coming on.

Ibra had a few good moments (that goal though) but somewhat tame. Rooney and Martial a bit underwhelming.

Great to see 3 goals, deserved a clean sheet but it was a good finish by Smith.

Pleased overall. Roll on Friday!

[–]hugokhf 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

[–]CheerfulChaos14 3ポイント4ポイント  (1子コメント)

Probably overlooked, but Blind was absolutely amazing imo. Delivered every time he was needed.

[–]JamieD86 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

A winning start is always nice. Man I'm really impressed with Bailly, MOTM by a long ways!

Zlatan scoring again is wonderful too, it's just what that man does naturally... could be quiet for 85 mins and then boom.. goal! :-)

Really looking forward to the game on Friday! :-)

  • meh first half, good second
  • still no click between players
  • martial needs to step up his game. Cant see the last year Martial
  • back four looks solid. Blind motm
  • fellaini had a good game!
  • Rooney to be dropped?
  • dave saves!

[–]ballsywallsyBerbalove 12ポイント13ポイント  (6子コメント)

It's good to know we can win despite shite refereeing. Andre Mariner can go fuck himself.

That being said fucking hell that Zlatan goal was so unexpected. Fellaini can be so useful if used correctly. He was brilliant.

[–]daveorMartial 7ポイント8ポイント  (2子コメント)

He was a bit annoying - not booking that Bournemouth player for clipping Martials heels just as hes about to shoot amazed me.

[–]QuicktimeSamPogba 1ポイント2ポイント  (1子コメント)

Yet he booked Herrera for a similar foul in our own half!

[–]darkcoolster 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

The thing is, where the hell was this Fellaini for the last 3 seasons. This is exactly how i remembered him at Everton (before the last seasons where he got shifted to no.10). Under LVG and Moyes at cdm he was constantly caught out of position and giving away cheap fouls.

[–]Sensur10Nani 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

Another slow start but we really picked it up by the second half. For me Fellaini was epic at midfield.

And that Zlatan goal. Man.

[–]darkcoolster 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

Good start to the EPL season. Bournemouth away is a potential banana peel and we navigated past it convincingly. Would have loved to see more of Mkhi tho

[–]maydaybomberHerrera's #1 fan 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

Pretty bad first half, great second half. Herrera and Fellaini were great.

ZLATAN!

Also can't wait to see more of Miki.

Also does Herrera get the assist on Mata's goal?

Bailly MOTM

[–]elvstroem 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

Martial really got going after a quiet start, Ibra is a pure intelligent footballer and must be so fun to play with. Rooney is a blunt force kept whacking away. Fair game too by Herrera and Fellaini and the back four. I'll take three away goals every day of the week!

[–]gauravahluwalia 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

Blind with another good game. Ander was wonderful today as well. So was Fellaini. Rooney, despite his goal was definitely the worst player on the pitch today

[–]Vvyyzz 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

I wouldn't put Martial as a standout player, he was pretty quiet the whole game.

[–]AJMcCoy612The Special Juan 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

A bicycle kick

A cup winning header

A 25 yard strike

Zlatan Ibrahimovic's first 3 goals for Manchester United.

[–]lemi69 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

Mikhi needs to be played more and involved more!!!!!!

[–]NoivisSchweinsteiger 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

Bailly is a fucking tank - really looking forward to seeing more of him.

Tony V and especially Fellaini looking a lot better under José than they did under LVG already.

Martial and Shaw bombing down the left is a sight I'll never get enough of and Zlatan is definitely (what surprise) not "past it".

Blind had a really solid game as well!

Despite the goal I'm still not 100% sure on Rooney, I really want him to have some more great seasons for us, and he definitely still has qualities to him, but he did seem to really slow down many of our attacks. For now I guess I'll just trust Mourinho not to shoehorn him into the team if he turns out not to be the best option for us in the future, after all Wazza has a tendency to find his moment and somehow end up on the scoreboard even if he looked dire before.

[–]Kimash-sama 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

Post match thoughts

  1. "Calmly cleared by Bailly" or "dealt with by Bailly". So many times I heard that during the match. Eric Bailly is a beautiful bastard.

  2. Luke Shaw...welcome back. It's like you never left the way you played today. You were missed immensely last season.

  3. Fellaini and Herrera did a fine job. Herrera especially made some beautiful passes today.

  4. It's good to see a team work as a team and not rely on individual brilliance to win matches.

  5. On the topic of individual brilliance Zlatan you majestic bastard. Fantastic.

  6. I have to give plaudits to Daley Blind. So reliable it's almost hilarious.

All in all a fantastic way to start a season. Alot of positives and hopefully the team shall keep improving. GGMU!

Fantastic from DeGea at the end there. Fellaini would be my motm. So composed in possession and really broke up their attacks consistently. Good to see Zlatan and Martial light things up in the 2nd half. With the right lineup, I think we'll be returning to the side that makes defenses wet themselves.

[–]amishbr07 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

Not to reiterate what has already been said but I loved the way we killed any momentum they built when they scored their 1st and only goal. Absolutely fizzled the game out after that.

[–]RadamelBirtles 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

When this team gets into the swing of it, it's going to be immense. Bailly is a beast of a player.

[–]manchesterunitedgoal 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

United scored three goals with 53% possession and had 11 shots, 7 on target, and United haven't gelled yet. Good riddance to boring possession with endless ineffectual passing and no end product.

[–]ooppzzyDe Gea 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

Blind was excellent, very impressed with him today. Bailly was fantastic, absolutely love the enthusiasm. Will be interesting to see if Smalling will still get played over Blind.

Rooney needs to be subbed much, much earlier or maybe not even start. I'd love to see more Mkhi. I'd have like to seen Mata play a full 90 as well.

Ibra did well enough today, definitely make his mark and is proving haters wrong. I still think Rashford needs more game time though. I hope Mou sees his potential.

Overall, I'm happy with the performance today

[–]thisthomas 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

Eh, not used to saying this but, didn't Fellaini have a great game?

[–]BradyBunch88 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

I thought Fellaini deserved man of the match. As much as I felt Bailly put in a solid performance, I was extremely impressed with Fellaini, I’ve never seen him play so well defensively, he remained calm under pressure, in the first half, I thought he looked a bit too erratic, but second half he came out and was just a rock at the back.

Shaw was fantastic at getting forward, has the confidence to get forward knowing he can get back and defend, so he put in a good performance.

Zlatan was great, a lot of people don’t like him they take his jokes seriously, he’s just having fun and it’s refreshing and nice to see a big player have fun on and off the pitch. But he’s a very selfless player, made a few good passes and got a sick goal!

I thought Valencia was one of our best players in the first half, attacking the opposition and getting past defenders. Glad to see he got a chance.

But out of all of the performances, I was massively let down with Anthony Martial. He clearly didn’t look happy on the wing, last season he was running at defences, chasing every ball. I saw him pull up a few times rather than chase balls. He looked like he didn’t care and I felt he would’ve given more if he were the chosen striker. I would’ve liked to have seen Mkhi get a bit longer because I don’t feel as though Martial really added anything.

Overall, I thought it was a solid performance, as soon as we got the first goal, the team settled down and we started playing with confidence, there were glimpses of a typical Mourinho side, but, still a long ways to go before we’re playing like champions.

[–]slezdieselBailly 12ポイント13ポイント  (32子コメント)

Pros:

  • Ibra with a cracker. Looked good in open play too
  • New centre back pairing? Would be hard to drop either Bailly or Blind for Smalling
  • I know he isn’t everyones favourite, but I thought Fellaini did his job really well today
  • Shaw looks very energetic, so good to see him back

Cons:

  • Herrera was almost invisible all game
  • Rooney, while not as bad as everyone in the match thread was saying, was pretty ineffective. Good goal though
  • Martial had an off day. He looks unconfident to me

Overall gotta be pretty happy with that result. Scoring three on the road was pretty much unheard of last season. Definitely positive signs, especially with our biggest signing yet to play. Still think the number 10 position needs to be sorted, Valencia showed in the first half how important having wingers/width is. Personally I’d like to see Mata at 10 and miki/Lingard on the right

[–]ParkerZAYoung 52ポイント53ポイント  (4子コメント)

Disagree about Herrera, he kept the ball moving and always made himself available for a paas. Also played some really good passes, like the one that put Valencia through on the right and another good one for Martial.

[–]Mr_ClarkMourinho 9ポイント10ポイント  (3子コメント)

Also Herrera was passing the ball FORWARD.

And Rooney was pretty shit. Mourinho putting him out wide seems to be the only thing we can do. I'm happy to see he actually got subbed.

[–]ParkerZAYoung 1ポイント2ポイント  (2子コメント)

If Rooney is going to play it needs to be as a striker.

[–]vBradRafael 2ポイント3ポイント  (1子コメント)

He can't do the 'other number 9 stuff' anywhere near as well as Ibra though, like holding the ball up. He frequently gets bullied off the ball - it's grim watching him play striker against Kompany.

[–]ParkerZAYoung 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

You're 100% right, and the real answer is that he shouldn't be starting at all. It just depends on Mou being willing to drop him.

I thought Herrera played really well. He got on the ball and tried to make things happen and he and Fellaini were solid defensively.

[–]benhanks040888Paul Scholes 5ポイント6ポイント  (0子コメント)

If you thought Fellaini was good, then Herrera was definitely at least as good since they were basically playing quite the same role. Fellaini did a good job defending air balls and stuff while Herrera was better at distributing the ball.

Rooneys second half was solid all around

[–]darkcoolster 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

Blind proving most people wrong and might just keep that center back position.

Shaw was poor in attack imo but very good in defence

Herrera had a few good passes first half, one brilliant one to Valencia so he wasn't exactly invisible. The lack of chemistry between him and Rooney is obvious tho.

Martial's been out of form for a while now, I'm starting to get worried. He needs to put one in the back of the net.

[–]PunyHumanoidHerrera 4ポイント5ポイント  (1子コメント)

He got 2 assists today?!

[–]scholeszzSchweinsteiger 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

Sure, if you think a mishit shot and a pass before someone makes space and drills one into the corner from 25 yards is more of an indicator of his performance, I can't argue.

His form was on the low during the end of last season too, not to mention he had a less than satisfying Euros. I can see why his confidence might be a bit on the low side. He's looked sluggish throughout preseason as well.

He's definitely not been terrible, but we've seen him do much better.

Martial had a fairly poor Euros and preseason, the whole number change thing might not have helped either. Hopefully he'll find some form soon

[–]BBQ_HaX0rStannis the Mannis 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

Rooney had a poor first half. His 2nd half was a lot better. More movement and his passing/touch seemed better. His goal was class.

[–]MrBenLadScholesy 2ポイント3ポイント  (1子コメント)

I felt as though Martial was struggling to work with how Rooney went forwards. Rooney kept turning and the playing it sideways again.

I really don't like Rooney in the 10. Today was the experiment and I thought there was obvious signs everywhere he can't play there.

[–]gauravahluwalia 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

This. The few times in 2nd half he started moving center he was very good with one of those instances leading to Zlatan's goal

[–]ungaayaAnder 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

Fellaini deserves to start. Anyone who thinks otherwise is just biased.

[–]Takley 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

A 3-1 away win, with many players have to improve / have room to improve, without Pogba, Smalling, and Miki (who i still think should start out right) . I'll take it.

When you're done with Rooney but cant get his chant out of your head because of the crowd

[–]nakedcapital 1ポイント2ポイント  (2子コメント)

Did Zlatan play the full 90 minutes? He's so old, I'm afraid he'll collapse from the effort.

[–]maydaybomberHerrera's #1 fan 3ポイント4ポイント  (1子コメント)

Zlatan is probably in better shape that most people in the league

[–]GrayOctopusBasti 1ポイント2ポイント  (1子コメント)

Martial seems to be distracted by something. His ex starting things up maybe?

But fuck me, does Ibra score normal goals?

[–]spydermahn1De Gea 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

Mkhitaryan will not be able to gel with Rooney or Valencia. Same as kagawa, he was successful at Dortmund because they play quick football with somewhat risky passes. Valencia, although good today still seems so indecisive and will 9/10 will not try the risky attack. when he is played in over the top and catches the defender out.... That's when he is confident enough to pick the right pass.

Rooney will most of the time slow down the play or Hollywood it to Valencia, but it is always Hollywood to his chest and not into space so that Valencia can run into it. Same with martial!

TLDR : bench Rooney play mkhitaryan or we might as well calk him kagawa 2.0 and send him back to Dortmund now!

    Mata decent and Rooney bad, of course, welcome to /r/reddevils. Mata was great all game, and Rooney started slow, but eventually made his mark and played well

    Very impressive performance from Bailly and Fellaini. Smalling and Pogba can only make the side better as well.

    Great to see Shaw get another 90 minutes under his belt, doesn't seem like there'll be any long term damage from his injury

    [–]daveorMartial 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

    Can't wait to see Bailly vs more attacking teams like Arsenal and City - if he can cope with their best players he will be a serious asset for us.

    Seemed more uninterested than usual, bit sloppy too

    He did however end up with 2 "assists" I think

    Finished the season with a 3-1 win against Bournemouth and started the season with a 3-1 win against Bournemouth. Bailly was fantastic again, motm.

    Watching Zlatan play is just such a joy. He does things effortlessly that lesser players would be remiss to even attempt.

    I went for 1-1, guess I'm a bit negative due to the past 3 years.

    Looked very solid at the back. Nice to see Daley get the armband at the end, wonder who will make way for Smalling with both Blind and Bailley looking great. Shaw looked great defensively but I'd like to see a bit more going forward. Wasn't sure about Fellaini and Herrera at first, but they got the job done. Fellaini with some important headers out of the box. Besides the goal, wasn't crazy impressed by Zlatan. And I had completely forgotten about Memphis, hope he comes on strong this season. So glad we're back.

    A routine 3-1 away victory. It's been so long since we had one of those. A good three or four players contending for MOTM, and almost everybody played well. Really nice start.

    Valencia was fucking great today on the right. He seems like a completely different player.
