Cardiff may have had their first attempt on target. Weak looped header may have been dipping under the bar and turned over.

Surprised no Bony.

Hope Michu doesn't sulk. Need that second striker. Ante Rebic would be nice if we can get him.
 
So, last season, we played utd with a fairly similar team...just Canas and Shelvey.
Are they better than Ki and De Guzman?
 
good starting line up for us - look at the strength on the bench - awesome. two solid teams.

this is a litmus test for me - how we play today, not necessarily the result will tell me how we are going to compare to the rest of the league. after seeing arsenal - wenger had better get it together soon or he will be out of a job and arsenal out of the prem - it was that rank today.
