I remember last season there were talks about us being punished for bad discipline record, but Conte said that this team wasn't the same as before and that it would be unjust. If this carries on, is it possible we will get points deducted?

It is. Martial, Rashford, Mkhi would all start here ahead of Willian/Pedro. Could even make a case for Mata tbh. Their attack in general is much better than ours (-Eden). 

Ehhh. I don't know. Martial and Rashford are more talented but just as wildly inconsistent as Willian and Pedro. Mata wouldn't start for us at the moment. He'd be the same liability that Cesc is. Mkhitaryan is solid but nothing really special. Their attack was awful last season with the same players. Just so happens that the goals are coming now. 

Hopefully once Hazard is back to starting every week we'll look much better. That, and Bakayoko + Kante providing a platform for the attackers.

So far nothing really suprising at the top, maybe spurs struggle at home because of wembley. I expect the two manchester club to be the two best teams this season, they had two best squad last season and spend the most net spend this season.

Arsenal is still the same as always. The same thing for liverpool, brilliant going forward, leaky at the back  We looks ok, I don't expect us to destroy teams like last season as team get used to play 343 which is the main reason we won the league.

The Manchester teams are scoring for fun.

Both Manchester sides blowing everyone away. Pretty embarrassing that we can already forget about goal difference after only 5 matches.

The United team/attack isn't even better or more talented than ours is I'd argue. Just everything going for them this season like it was for us last year.

Crazy that man city had a goal difference and now gone in one game..

If it makes you feel any better, we had a GD of +20 after 5 league games in the 2010/11 season and look what happened at the end of it.

Liverpool last 3 matches:

0 wins

79 shots

3 goals

3% shots conversion rate

Just Liverpool

Story of Coutinho's career so far, too. Scores the wonder goal every now and then, everybody especially the media is in awe of him, but they never say it's the first goal in his last 30 attempts. Probably one of the most wasteful and selfish long range shooters in European football.

Agree his tendency to shoot from long range is just crwzy but early lasr season he was spectacular though

What the fuck did i just watch???? Why did you do that to me mate, when i clicked the video to play i was expecting to see some kind of parody mocking those wankers, not that crap.

Video should have been called Damaged For Life, because whoever watches it will not be able to shake those images off for the rest of his life.
