So much hypocrisy and double standards in this thread, lol.

If it was us scraping through a win it'd be seen as "Only results matter", "We'll get better, it's only the start of the season" etc etc etc. But because it's a rival they're obviously shit and unimpressive, which is true but such a shortsighted thing to say all things considered.

They're doing it like we did after losing to psg last season.

They won't win the league though imo, just because of the lack of goalscoring players in the team and rooney looks rusty

It's incredible really. I actually commend Utd for winning two games they weren't their best in. People need to understand that whilst they aren't playing amazing they are still getting results. They're obviously still trying to click - it'll be interesting to see when they do. If they keep scraping results in the mean time then we've got a serious title rival.

That is true but then again, last season they had periods where they picked up wins despite not playing well and it didn't get them anywhere. I guess you would just expect United, after 1 season and spending more than 200m under Van Gaal, to get better but so far, they still look unimpressive as last season and lack that distinct style of play or identity, if you like, that Van Gaal has talked so much about.

I'd disagree with lack of goal scorers, they do have Memphis, Mata and Rooney in the team after all, all who grab 10/20+ goals in the season.

I feel Mata on the right wing eliminates his goalscoring threat, while rooney has been looking like he's forgotten how to play striker position.

They still need a proven goalscorer (unless Rooney scores 25+, Hernandez scores 10+ and the rest of the team chips in when needed)

Barkley, Kone and Lukaku are in great form. With the bad defending of the Soton players, they are making Everton game really eaasy.

Swansea looks damn good.

Sunderland.

WHU beat Arsenal but now 2-0 down to Leicester.

[Pizy 17,860]

Sunderland are truly diabolical. Hope this is the year they finally go down.

[Sir Mikel OBE 4,742]

Montero absolutely destroying terrible fullbacks in this league.

Ivanovic last week

Already has got Janmaat sent off this week.

[Reddish-Blue 2,226]

How do Sunderland keep avoiding relegation?

He has got it all!
