Feels weird watching a Utd side having a striker that has genuine aerial threat. Great header

Might be a bit early / late to say this but Ibra could well win United the title.

Probably the first time in a long while that I've actually felt genuinely confident in this United team. Tidy performance overall. Ibra was gleaming, Pogba looked sharp and the whole team kept their shape. Not ready to say they'll win the league but top three minimum.

United looked great

Funny how buying good players actually makes the team better, Arsene should take note of this wonderful discovery

A lot of positives from last night. Ibrahimovic was awesome, Pogba looked comfortable, Valencia and Shaw were superb. Really promising attacking football. Southampton had the ball a lot but thankfully didn't create many decent chances.

Loved the Pogba/Ibra post match interview.

Yes.

Never really looked threatened and considering the side has barely had a chance to gel and Mkhitaryan hasn't even featured yet, it looks good for them

Only problem is if Zlatan gets injured because although I rate Rashford I don't think he's fully ready to take the mantle in a season where they want to win the League

Nice to see Aguero scores penalties in the Prem. Otherwise I'd chuck him from my fantasy football team. Cheap pen to give away.

I know there's been an alteration to the penalty box grappling rules but Sterling on Shawcross there seemed a bit soft. Then again, Stoke should really have been given a penalty when Kolarov bulldozed Joe Allen, so I guess it works out... maybe?

Kalechi is so underrated.

Not even sure if underrated is the right word - ore like seems ignored by the mainstream press. Which is a shame I'd love to know if the prick has bought his mam a house, and if his car is too arrogant for a player of his standing.

Hull over half way to Derby's points record they were going to smash.

A side with Wijnaldum playing shite, who knew?

Maybe Hull only need 13 fit players and a caretaker manager after all.

Not only that but to a Burnley side who only had 3 shots in the entire game compared to Liverpool's 26.

Thats a slightly misleading stat just because of how early they scored, also pretty much all our shots were outside of the box.

Geez looks like we've got the most reckless midfield pair in the league then.

Blimey - 25 out of 26, according to one graphic I spied on Twitter.

Much like Mark Clattenburg then.

Should've conceded 2 penalties, should've had Coquelin sent off, Sanchez was poor, but at least we're off the mark eh.

I never saw the game but about 20 of those will have been Coutinho no doubt

I only saw the first penalty claim, didn't think it was and that Clattenburg made the right call. Defender seemed to get the ball first. However, I'll wait for a better replay on MOTD tonight. Sounds like the second one would have been very soft if given too?

He was responsible for a fair number of the ones selected by Match of the Day. The defending on both Burnley goals was pretty abject, mind, even if they were excellent finishes.
