That was a shit penalty. If Hart keeps a cooler head he doesn't dive and saves it easily.

United shelled it 2nd half and then took advantage when Clement blinked and changed his system. The system was working well for them and United had produced nothing 2nd half but Swansea faltered in attacking areas because they had no cutting edge up front - the young lad up there did ok but never possessed a genuine goal threat, and they need someone who can push Llorente (Bony?).

United had moments in the game (up until the late deluge) but were solid and workmanlike rather than fluid and the final score really doesn't reflect the whole 90 minutes. They didn't create loads and a better team will cause them problems and it won't be enough to try and nick something from a set piece or deflection. They won't lose many and will win more than last season but will still draw a few they shouldn't because they lack the creative fluidity of a City, Spurs or Chelsea (of last year at least). Will also be interesting to see the affect the Champions League has on them.

With the exception of their full backs, I think they are looking almost like the perfect balance and blend all round the pitch Steve, I have to say. They'll never swarm over teams in the early stages like a Guardiola team, but they won't look as fragile either. They may not have City's depth of quality attacking options but in Mkhitaryan they have the best AM IMO, in Pogba they have the best "8" and Lukaku they have a real bully of a 9. When you add the craft of Mata, the pace of Rashford and Martial it means they are able to be both pragmatic and threatening in transition, a good combination. They can win games in a variety of ways and protect them too, with players like Matic and Herrera, good footballing 6's.

I think the two Manchester clubs will be ahead of everyone this year personally and I think Mourinho will edge it.

agree with most of that, but still think it will be:

City
Chelsea
Manure
