Match Day Swansea v Man Utd, Saturday 19th August 12:30

United look good....

Martiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal!

 

[Renegade]

On course for 152 goals this season with none conceded. Going to walk the league.

 

[Bilo]

What a HORRIBLE football match.

[JimJams]

Nipped out for the second half. With Martial replacing Rashford and grabbing a goal, is the frenchman going to be able to oust him from the starting 11?
Or is he on for a prolonged super sub type role?
Perhaps Mata makes way?

 

[Stevencc]

Mourinho should be sacked if United drop points in this fixture.

 

[HtfcWArrior]

United are winning the league nailed on

You overuse this GIF mate. Upgrade your shit.

I think Mata will make way for Herrera against bigger teams, with Pogba playing in a more advanced position like we've seen when Mata came off today for Fellaini. Pogba could pick up a lot of late assists and goals, much like Yaya Toure a few seasons ago when he would start in central midfield, Silva would be replaced and he would take over as the #10. I don't think we'll see Martial and Rashford on the pitch at the same time unless Mkhitaryan is injured/rested. Martial is a more natural finisher, I still hope Rashford is given a stretch in the team.

 

[JimJams]

Anyone else get a sense of discomfort between Pardew and Henry?

 

[Stevencc]

Any human being should feel uncomfortable around Pardew.

 

[epic73]

We've scored 15% of the goals we did last season in 5% of the matches.

That's a dull stat.

 

[Stevencc]

That's a dull stat.

But not as dull as United's football, right Salty?

Playing against relegation contenders in your opening two matches you've looked impressive. It will slow down though

It will do, yeah - but similar to comments you've made about beating the smaller teams being important as that's where you usually slip up, we struggled to put these kinds of sides to the sword and often ended up conceding a 1-0 result and coming out with a draw. Many other times it was a 0-0 we were leaving with.

We did beat Swansea away least season but we drew 1-1 at home with West Ham, for example.

All early doors though, City were flying at this stage and Conte was favourite to be sacked and we all know what happened.

All I remember from those days is people guaranteeing that City would win the title.

I like to remind them every now and then.

Steeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeven, where's Baillyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy?

Antoniooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Just coming home from our home match ( btw: we won 1-0..first opening win since....can't remember ) so couldn't watch a single PL match today and now looking into the match threads.
Must be an impressive last 10 minutes of ManU with 3 Goals in 4 minutes. 8-0 Goals 6 points so far...the sky's the limit?
