Really pleased with our start to the PL

4 wins and a draw from first five is a very good start. Villa and Everton both at home up next too.

I am slightly concerned about the defence though. Wan Bissaka lucky to not give a penalty away today, Shaw obviously did at the end and Maguire had some really shaky moments as well. We have the firepower to win the league but it's defences that win you titles. They need to sharpen up. Midfield probably doesn't help them in that respect but then I don't think Donny or Matic makes us any more solid in there either. Badly need a top midfielder next summer.

Come on United.

We dismantled Southampton and West ham, Newcastle United and Leeds. The only team to outplay us was Wolves.

We can't keep conceding freak goals now can we?

Freak goals? We've made a habit of conceding such goals

Well the law of averages say it is unlikely to concede goals like that. Lingard is the only player for west ham to score a penalty in last 5 they have taken lol.

If we defend poorly we'll concede

Roy Keane just said Utd will be like a roller coaster, some real highs but also some poor lows like the disaster away to a 3rd rate Swiss side. It's just the way Ole has us set up.

Yes Ole is at fault for Man Utd expected goals being under 1 in 10 of the last 13 league games and would have been in 11 of the last 13 league games if Atkinson gave us the penalty at the end instead of giving it to west ham. Man Utd have by far the best record in that period, much better than Liverpool or Chelsea or Man City.

So by far the best team defensively in last 13 league games is Ole fault?

Plus it's this season we are talking about. Last season is consigned to history

Well Ole had his side keep clean sheets at Anfield, at the etihad and at Stamford Bridge last season, the 3 teams touted as main contenders for the league and in reality we should have won all 3.

Well like I said we still had more shots and faced less shots than Chelsea this season. Our only dropped points were due to VAR error. You could say we got 2 points against Wolves back we lost due to a VAR error at Southampton so we are on par with the points we should have.
