According to my Ibrahimovic Watch it's still 10:18. I haven't put it back since the clocks changed.

I had a bet with a mate that Zlatan wouldn't score 20 league goals. Not at his age.

It's not looking good at the moment
Long way to go mate. He started off well. I hope it's a good bet, could go either way but fancy your chances right now

So is there a reason why Alan Shearer is persisting with this Zlatlan isn't world class talk...Yeah I know it's subjective but if you're going to count Aguero as world class then you need to include Zlatlan surely.

Pure quality. Almost top scorer in a new league at 35. Class player

Impressive how explosive he still is. You normally imagine a 35 year having to get by on his movement and experience, but he's outmuscling people and spinning away from them. Not shabby at all.

He is fantastic - I've always admired him as a player and it's great to see him in the Premiership. 35 years old and still more than capable of scoring a bucketful in any league. Top class.

Yep, the goal against Palace especially was the sort of goal you just don't expect from someone that age. Only van Nistelrooy has scored more goals in his first 16 PL games for United.

I believe the reason roughly boils down to a very intricate and detailed nuance to the game that some people haven't yet managed to grasp...

Alan Shearer is a plum.

I'm a big Zlatan admirer, but I'd underestimated just how much of a leader he is. And not in a showy way, but rather in the oldest-fashioned way: leading by example.

And off the pitch, he seems to be like a cool big brother to younger players. Most impressive.

I liked his 1st goal against West Brom, pulled the defender to put him off and got in behind him and scored a header.

Can't really teach that experience
