Did Pep just say Bravo had one of the best keeping performances ever? Well that's one way to put it...

 

Glad we're resting Sanchez for midweek. We've burnt him out a lot before by letting him want to play every single game, we need to protect him for himself sometimes.

 

Was a good contest. Encouraging reaction in the second half. It's early days still, and we showed enough for me to not truly be worried. United is only going to get stronger as the season progresses, so I'm already looking forward to the return fixture.

 

This feels familiar. Annoying as there was barely any contact for the free kick and Cech is very unlucky there.

 

That's just so Arsenal-y...

 

Kinda feel like he should be rested against a non-quality team...?

 

This ref is a complete joke.

 

It's the Premier League, they're all quality.

 

Much better. We need pace, to move the ball quicker into the space and run at their defence. Our front four plus Bellerin should tear them apart.

 

Kos! Brilliant!

 

I mean, I think the only teams I would argue aren't are Hull, West Brom, and Burnley, and even they can hurt you as we've seen already this year.

 

Sunderland are pretty shit.

 

I genuinely forgot they existed. It's better that way.

Some of the goals in that Watford/West Ham game are utterly ridiculous.

 

Modric ended two careers a few minutes ago. There's no recovery.

 

Son is a beast today

 

This is Ozil's worst game in two years.

 

lol West Ham. They'll struggle this year. Funny after the media bigging them up for months

 

A healthy and motivated Son matching his Bundesliga/international form? Sign me up.

 

English refereeing really is in dire straits

 

Need a trial run of a refless match, see if they're even making any positive impact at all

 

Eriksen and Alli looked much better as well.

And we get Dembele the god back next week.

 

Christian got a new contract and we got the old Christian.

Sissoko looked decent. Hard to draw many conclusions as Stoke were dreadful. That could have pretty easily been 0-7.

 

That Payet chip was nice.

 

Took Firmino out of my FPL team this morning after three barren weeks.

I hate this fucking game.
