Felliani is injured so I will venture and say Mata place is safe for now

I think Mourinho will continue to front Mata in the starting 11 because he's a good stabiliser. In a game where United struggles to find goal like yesterday, Mkhitaryan will be subbed in to change the approach. With Fellaini out I hope Mourinho will give Schneiderlin a chance.

Guardiola has had the best start so far, I didn't expect things would go that smoothly for him.

And the big clubs prevail. Looks like last season was a blip after all.

yeah, this season looks like back to normal. Chelsea and Manchester clubs look solid as hell, Arsenal has a very high top level but is too inconsistent and loses vs top teams, Liverpool basically the same cept they only shine vs top teams and lose vs bad ones, Tottenham is more consistent just slightly worse all around than the top 3..

Couldn't agree more. After 3 weeks it already looks like a Manchester/Chelsea top 3, with Arsenal finishing strongly and claiming 4th after their CL campaign ends in February, and Tottenham/Liverpool fighting for 5th.

Don't even think you can add Liverpool fighting for 5th. They might take a result from one of top 4s but they look woeful at times. Spurs have more potential than them when they firing, last season they started slow too pinching wins but then went into overdrive, if they do that again they will comfortable be 5th and might scare Arse.

However it 3 games in and 1 injury to Chelsea back 4 and we pretty farked xD

I'm fairly certain Chelsea will add a defender before the window ends. As for 5th, I'd actually give Liverpool a better chance at the moment because Spurs' squad is too thin. There are some tired/out of form players (Kane, Alli, Eriksen mainly) who have to start every match because the alternatives simply aren't good enough. I saw a link to Isco in the Mirror but we all know that Levy won't pay for that kind of quality. A few fringe players will be sold and the sacred zero net spend will be maintained.

Àjax wins 3-0. Let's hope the loss against Rostov was an incident.

Nasri should write a book of how NOT to handle a footballer carreer that had everything to be at the top.

This City side looks really good, but holy shit they look extremely weak in the back

A more serious team could exploit that and give more than 1 headache to Guardiola

Hoffenheim vs RB Leipzig as highlight game on the first matchday. The Bundesliga schedule creators sure are some trolls.

The stadium in Bilbao was full, then big rain happened. Most of the tourists ran away from the rain.

United look stronger than last year. But it took them untill the 92 minute to break down Hull. I guess we just haven't seen enough games to make any serious predictions.
CIty absolutely dominated an under strength West Ham. But as soon as Antonio's goal went in they looked panicked and scared to play. They got themselves together eventually though.

Man CIty Vs West Ham was a full house. You must have been watching just after half time when people hadn't made it back to their seats.

In theory I like the Premier Leagues hard stance against holding in the box. It's going to mean more goals and make it harder for boring teams that offer little up front but defend deep to stay in games. However it might lead to a lot of diving in the box. If the ref's not really looking at something and he just see's an atacker go down he might be tempted or think he has to give a penalty. I don't want to see that. Another implication is that if England is the only country doing this it might make English teams a bit week man to man in European competition.

i wouldnt say taking 92 mins to score is the same as needing 92 minutes to break them down.
united had 29 shots (9 on target) from what i know. the entire game was pretty much played in hull's half and id say its the most one-sided united game ive seen in years.
the team was just missing a bit of luck to get the ball in the net, but any other day that could have been a 5-0 game
