We are getting some goals at least.
Comfortable but I think we especially Pogba should be able to play better.

And on the bright side for Swansea, at least they might get a good billing on MOTD tonight...
Martial made their back four soil themselves, they fell apart after he come on.
Swansea are a poor, poor side, they should get used to seeing that kind of thing happen to them this season, we were utterly crap.

You're going to take some stopping this season, a powerful and pacey side.
I always thought we had a decent start till we play Everton.
We'll take some shifting from top spot.
Going to be a hard slog having to watch Swansea every other ****ing week!
*lol at Roofie*

You did make an argument for Martial 2-3 weeks ago. On his last two display, he is showing the true dynamism to his game. On this billing, he definitely needs to start games going forward. I'm not sure how we would fit him in with Rashford playing, but they may need to start interchanging who starts and who sits. He has amazing feet!!
It's still very early days in my opinion. Remember the way City started last season? However, I think Mourinho is a different beast when he has his team together.
He could start instead of Mhkytarian and play with Rashford.
I accept Mhky had a couple of assists today again but he also goes very quiet for periods of games.
I'm basing this on on line commentary mind so if I'm wrong then I'm wrong, although it sounded like he didn't do much for most of the game.
Ideal front three for me is Martial, Lukaku and Rashford.
Frightening.
I hear you, but I would be afraid to drop Mhkytarian. However, I do see the argument to start Rashford alongside Martial behind Lukaku. With Martial especially taking Mhkytarian's place.
Mhiki was man of the match! I would start with him. He makes the killer pass (es) and he had again the most assists. Early days but Lukaku could be a younger version of Zlatan: not doing much but scores the goal when he gets the chance.
Yeah, I did say I was basing it in BBC on line so didn't actual see it. They said he did nothing first half.
Anyway, he would't get in my own preferred first eleven.
I'm very happy today, We won 4-0 for the second game in a row, We're more attacking this season I reckon. So far so good thus far.
The squad we have now we should be looking to put in the players we expect to do best in each match. We don't have an obvious starting XI which is superior to any other combination, particularly in attack.
I reckon Herrera will replace Mata for some matches and hopefully Martial will get starts when we are likely to counter attack. Micky is good at picking defences apart in a game like today, but not as effective against the better sides who put him under more pressure imo.
So I think when we are playing top sides, or decent sides away from home, we may see Matic, Herrera and Pogba in a three man midfield with Martial and Rashford supporting Lukaku. Or maybe even Rashford up from with Micky and Martial supporting him.

Early days of course, but at least we know how well the side can play. A couple of seasons ago there was absolutely no hope of seeing attacking, flowing football again - so any blips or downturns during the season should only be temporary rather than the norm that we were getting used to.
The entire team were poor today until the double sub.
Mkhitaryan has 4 assists in two games. He's un-droppable right now.
