Mata has scored in like 8 of his last 10 games, not sure why people were so sure he'd be dropped.

How are those maps possibly compiled? (The one that shows all passes from the game)

Some guy on a computer mapping every single pass as it happens? That has to be an exhausting job. Or is it all automated somehow?

Di Maria was fantastic. He was excellent all game and that free kick was just superb.

Herrera was just awesome, loved that goal XD.

And Daley Blind, again I swear he's our best signing, he's the guy we've been looking for the past 10 or so yrs now.

The rest of the team performed well, told ya'll Blackett was quality, RVP needs to pull up his socks, age is already against him, Also can't wait to see Shaw come in.

Honestly after watching this game I swear we can win it (Chelsea would have to slip up badly tho lmao), Can see positive results against our big rivals in the future (Yes, I can see the future haha).

So after one game vs the worst team in the league only Chelsea stand in the way of you guys winning the whole thing?

This makes me want to cry. We....we have a midfield! with Herrera, Blind, Di Maria, Mata, Carrick and Fletcher of course.

It would be scary if you guys started using tika taka passing triangles.

Yes, my thoughts exactly, before I even doubted we could even get into the top 4, with these signings and only room for improvement I see us in the top 3. This season will be really interesting and I'm eager to see how it all unfolds.

They join the "We beat QPR 4-nil" club, and think they're the best...

20 ****ing times best!

Daley Blind is what Hargreaves should've been for us if injuries didn't end his career. It also helps he knows LVG's system because of Ajax. Every time they would attack, he would stay back. Links defense to attack quickly too. Hopefully, this carries on.

Blackett looks good, but we all know Jones will take that spot once fit. The other CB spot is between Evans/Smalling/Jones/Rojo. RVP hasn't really played well in all of his matches thus far and his spot is ripe for the taking by Falcao. As for Shaw, I expect to see him against Leicester.

Now one player I will like to highlight during that match - RAFAEL! He was pure quality during his 65+ minutes and offered great width in attack and looked to be playing smarter on defense. The quality on the right took a major dip when Valencia came on. If Rafael can just manage to stay healthy, he can be one of the best RBs in the Prem.

I mean it's great to be super optimistic about your team but what Liverpool did last season had never been done before in the PL era (7th place - title challenging), and you are expecting it to happen twice in a row.

Will Alan Pardew survive the week? I kinda doubt it now.

Does Newcastle avoid the drop? This club looks Championship bound.

Has ownership caused my fandom of this club to wane severely the last couple years? Very much so.

God help us though if Newcastle pick up Tony Pulis

They really should though. With the amount of money they spent + no UCL + no Cap-1 Cup they have the chance to throw all of their eggs into 1 basket.

Leicester & West Ham should be 6 points before Everton & Chelsea travel to Old Tratford in October.

We (Chelesa) still have 5 matches to play in September (2 EPL, 2 UCL, 1 Cap-1). Same for Citeh. 4 for Arsenal & Liverpool.

Yes, Yes I am. I've been a United fan since 2003 (I was 9 back then), I only know success. So bear with me, I do have that much faith in my team and LVG. Even if in the end we don't get what I said we would, I am pretty sure we would get back in champions league.
