Read the post mate. No mention of first three games, or Transfer Windows. We perennially lose those games even though we had better teams than those clubs. By the way I despise the Money League with a passion for what it has done to our game, and the F.A. Cup.

I'm aware it wasn't mentioned, but throughout the board you can see people saying how we miss out on Champions League football by a few points and this is usually due to the fact we don't get our transfers done early and make slow starts to the league.
Can't argue with that. Hold me!
Yes true. It's easy to see things in isolation isn't it? I do agree though and believe it will improve. Still think we need a bit more pace/urgency/creativity but as someone said, maybe Alli is the answer? I certainly think he deserves a go.
Yep, they were superb again yesterday.
This last one gives you an idea what 73k mancs sound like on opening day of the season.

The thing is we've never had problems with Bentaleb in the middle before. His passing is usually more reliable even when trying to play at tempo. Perhaps with Dier alongside him Bentaleb is under instructions to be the one to make something happen, to try the riskier passes. Some people werent happy with how often Mason give the ball away last season. I always thought he was under instruction to try something. Maybe Bentaleb is just playing the Mason role now.
A couple of those videos are from after the final whistle.
just a quick reply about the Manure game.
As an Aussie its was great to watch a game at a decent time and not some mental time like 1.30am.
Some very promising signs from the team with Toby (cant spell that name) and Eriksen and Harry looking promising.
I'm not sure about Bentaleb twice gave away cheap possession in midfield. At times he looks a little lost. The jury is still out for me on Mason looks all hustle and bustle but does he have the quality for the EPL?
Being such a young team we will need to be patient during the season.

very sharp, nice watch too. Thats what you can get when you earn the big bucks.
Starting the season with one striker in your squad - common sense indeed
Riskier passes to create chances and space maybe, not passing blindly to the opposition 6-7yds away in your own half.
Mistakes happen, ok let's not all call Bentaleb out on it for a one off but let's not pretend it is a one-off, he did this a few times last year and it cost us goals/games.
Fuck everything else, how good did Poch look yesterday, a trillion dollars!!
Walk into this door Mr P and lets see what adventure awaits you?
No crest. DISLIKE.Fuck everything else, how good did Poch look yesterday, a trillion dollars!!
73K mancs?
Surely you mean 50k southerners and 23 k mancs
I think 23k is pushing it a bit too...
Apparently Euston station was a "jubilant sea of red" late on Saturday afternoon!!
Given it a couple of days. I doubt very much that what I think hasn't been mirrored on here by someone. The performance was a little too reminiscent of last year at OT, which means we predictably lost shape and confidence after going a self inflicted goal behind.
There is a long way to go before this is a team who can confidently fall a goal behind against a team like United or any of the sides above us, and deal with it by carrying on regardless.
My one main concern is that we start responding that way against weaker opposition and we'll be in trouble. Last season that was a strength of ours (Villa, Hull, Swansea etc) going behind but finding a way to win. Saturday we could, and possibly should have won that match but I didn't think that was ever going to happen once we went behind.
This is a coaching issue as much as a players one.
