Decent game but for all the money spent by Man U on forwards they locked poor up front.

Am I the only one who only remembers Gykores as an average striker in the championship?

Quite a dull opening weekend so far. Several dull draws otherwise several very one sided  big wins. Even that Utd Arsenal game was dull.

Improved so much that they ended the game trying to lump it to Maguire.

Can you blame them, as I said their forwards all looked poor. Long may it continue.

Not me. I’d never heard of him until a few weeks ago

He played for  Coventry in the championship and didn’t pull up any trees.

Good managers spot potential though, like Unai did with Rogers.

Just heard an Arsenal caller on 5 Live saying he thinks Manyoo can take a number of points off the big 6 this season.

Not sure if it was a snide dig or not.

Per Palace disallowed goal. The rule has been there for several years because the opposition teams were doing exactly like the Palace player did anyway. It is ironic that, if he had just shouldered the Chelsea player out of the way, but held his own ground, it would have been legal.

Manure have been regularly raising their game against bigger sides though, especially under Amorium. It is when they play crapper sides they struggle more.

Their record against Brighton is particularly laughable.
