Premier League 2019-2020 we’re off

[Slime]

AT HALF TIME - the points made were about the first half , you are counter with stuff that happened “AFTER” i posted what I did

So try and find something to counter the points made in the first half - Pogba didn’t play that ball through in the first half - he was non existent, the two forwards were all over the place in the first half - so try again

I prefer not to judge a team over just half a game, it can come back to haunt one.

There'll be no point celebrating a goal until the other team has kicked off again. No way should our goal have been scrubbed off today.

???

What happened. Not seen any mention of it.

Glad to see everyone has got more rational with their football debates over the summer.

Let’s be honest, everything Phil said about Utd was relevant to the first half. Second half had been a totally different story though. They’ve countered really well and I can see that’s how they will get their goals against the bigger teams this year. They haven’t looked comfortable retaining possession, but they have been clinical in their counter attacks.

Well going by the Arsenal game and this one so far - these three teams are battling for that last top 4 spot. Chelsea should be ahead and look the brighter team out of the three so far , Arsenal I suspect will look better with a good number of their players to come in but UTD ? That’s their main team - Look disjointed all over the pitch , no leader , Pogba in someone’s pocket , Rashford and Martial headless chickens , Chelsea have carved them open as few times and De Gea and the woodwork have saved them so far.

Come on Phil, yesterday you're having a pop at @Dan2501 for laying it on thick about City too early and next day you're judging 2 teams seasons on 45 minutes!!! I think the word is 'blimey' 😉

Onto the game...

Maguire has looked very very good, the leader theyve missed. McTom could also grow into that role too if he continues to improve. AWB very impressive too today.

Quick in transition, yes lots of mistakes and too open at times, but lots of attacking football, Pogba controlling tempo in the 2nd half.

Definitely still questions marks on a couple of players, eg Lingard and Pereira and they lack depth so a few weak spots but I think United fans will be encouraged at the start of the season.

Fat Frank's first signing must be John Terry from Villa as a defensive coach 😂😂😂

Has to be said, Slabhead has been excellent today. Been so assured and solid at the back, think him and Lindelof could form a handy CB partnership.

I saw him briefly on the tv and I didn’t think he had put any weight on since he stopped playing

Oooh, 2nd in the league.




I know it doesn't count until we're 10 games in and we all also know it ain't gonna last, so let me have this little bit of joy.

United’s midfield. :’(

Liverpool plummet to 3rd. Is Klopp taking Liverpool backwards??? Will he get the vote of confidence if he doesn't get them out of this slump ASAP???

Exciting times...

Never in doubt.

 

[chrisd]

Finish the league today! I'd be happy with 10th 👍

As much as it wasn't a classic. If Pogba can play like that all season, Utd could shock one or two. Defensively they looked a lot better with wan Bissaka and Maguire. The pace up front will worry teams. It's early doors but I think most Utd fans would take that 😁
Re Chelsea. It's easy to say it wasn't a 4 niller, but Utd took there chances when they had to, Chelsea didn't.
However after one game even as a City fan, it's a bit early to get excited.

Was sat behind the goal and saw nothing wrong with it in real time, but grateful for VAR

Yeah I imagine you are, as I would be if it was the other way around. I think a point at yours will be a viewed as a good result as the weeks progress.

It's only Wolves, you wouldn't have.

We had a goal chalked off for handball.

I played my second ever game today. Right back. Black boots.

Chelsea and Liverpool now travel to Turkey to compete in the Supercup, what a waste of time honestly.
