Statement win from United.

Ran ragged all over the Hammers today with a 4-0 win. There wasn't one player that looked out of place.

Well...  they better.  West Ham is probably the worst team in EPL and they were missing half the starters.  I honestly was shocked it was only 2-0 on 80th minute.

While they were missing some starters, relying on players like Andy Carroll will cost them no matter what and at the end you still have to perform. And they are no where near the worst. They are a mid table team and have been since they made it back to the premier league in 2012.

They were missing  way more starters than just Andy Carroll. They finished 5 points away from being in 17 place last season.  They were the worst GD team outside teams that got relegated.  Calling this a statement win is a joke.  Luckily who ever put together schedule for ManUre, made sure they have a cake walk schedule until mid October.

You still have to perform is my point. While the EPL doesn't have as much parity as say the NFL and NHL. It does have more than a league like the NBA. Burnley is a prime example of that. Situations arise that are in and out of control of the team and the teams have to adapt. United made sure there was no doubt today. To my knowledge they created the most chances out of any team in the EPL this week.

I get it, no one likes to give United credit and that's fine but any outsider could see that they looked damn good today. That score line could have easily been 6-0. Rashford had a post and Zabaleta made a desperation slide to save what was sure to be a Lukaku hattrick.

I'll leave something for you to look at.

Arsenal played well and I never said they didn't. LCFC was only in the game because they converted there chances. I didn't realize Arsenal that many chances and that's my mistake.

At the same time to say United did not look superb today would be ignoring facts.

You mentioned that the Hammers were only 5 points from 17th last year, Leicester was only 4.

Anyone who watched United play could tell they were dominant. West Ham only had one shot on goal and most of their possession was them simply dinking the ball around the back. Every time the Hammers tried to go on the attack, Matic was there to regain possession. Offensively, this was the most creative United have been in quite some time. 

I'm curious were you scoreboard watching or actually watching the game? Because no one in their right mind would right off United's performance as so-so.

I never said they did not looked good.  I said that game should not be taken as a statement for upcoming season.  Gotta play quality team to know if you are for real or not.

Different team, same result for United. Another 4-0 win.

Carried possession and play for most of the game as Swansea sat back and defended. 

When Swansea finally came out of their shell in the 80th minute, United buried them with 3 goals in 3 minutes.

Teams are going to slowly learn that you can't play for draws against this United team.

Anywho, great start to the season.

Swansea manager is a moron.  Literally threw the game...  In first half the game is basically 50/50 and United scored first goal on 45th minute from horrible defending by Swansea...  Moron (Swansea manager) panics and changes formation... leaving only 2 CBs to stop United counterattacks.  Where United thrives?  Counterattacks....  What did he do?  Moved defenders forward...  I'd fire his today if I was owner.

      Trade Deadline Talk

      By frankw · Posted

      You guys are just going to have to accept the fact that Dan Morgan is a mid GM best case scenario currently. I used to have people get very belligerent over defending Scott Fitterer too. And that's not hyperbole. People used to go to bat for that guy like he was blood related. We have a truckload invested in the OL and what do we have to show for it? The whole unit is already banged up including one of our big signings. Even without all that the group has largely take a step back from last year in pass protection. Then you get to the QB room and there's only two conclusions you can make about Dan Morgan. Either he deliberately ignored it two years in a row on his own accord or he took orders from Tepper to do so. Either scenario says he's not fit to be an NFL GM.

      Is Canales digging his own grave?

      By strato · Posted

      Frank, ceding control of the defense in no way verifies that Tepper told Canales to bench Young.    It certainly buttresses the idea that Canales would need permission to bench him but that is as far as you can take it.    After that it is pure speculation and it doesn’t make sense.

      Uhh, okay yes that happened. I didn’t like the pick either I am a 3rd or later RB guy. Always. Actually hated the CMC pick too. Hated the Stewart pick.  No one wants to talk about trading the #39 in that draft and what he did with that.  Got #52, #155, and the Rams 2025 2nd to boot.   The 52 and 155 plus our 142 5th rounder to go up for a Brooks Everyone wants to forget about the 2025 2nd for that Rams trade  which was used to move up for Scourton.  That Rams trade down was a great deal for us.
