Did we deserve to beat burnley? No. They are **** and will be bottom. We've used the same team and same tactics for every game. Something I remember someone, can't think who, used to scream like **** about.
It's good against Swansea as they aren't good going forward. Against better sides though I'd rather we play higher up.
I was disappointed about the choice of personnel, I thought we'd change it for Arsenal and I think Mason should've started. I don't remember anybody screaming like **** about it, I remember somebody pointing it out and somebody else arguing daftly against it

They've had big investment for a few years now. Plus, due to their connections, they get players like Ighalo for next to nothing. They were promoted with two centre forwards that are better than any we've ever had at this level. They were safe by about January last season and if they could get some managerial stability, they could go places.
Did two of them play? We could have played a midfield four costing 34 million yesterday but chose a ginger costing a million. Price tags don't mean much it's how the players are coached and encouraged to play.
Looking at Watford's purchases there, whoever said you can't buy success was wrong, He costs £12.5 million..
As usual, Sunderland look ****ing ****e. If it wasn't for Turgoose and some dogshit finishing, it could've easily been five.
Highlights of today's games... Spoiler: Crystal Palace vs Stoke City Spoiler: Southampton vs Swansea City Spoiler: Tottenham Hotspur vs Sunderland Spoiler: Watford vs Manchester United
Watford are a better side but they're beatable. Similar to Swansea really, or are you choosing to ignore that too? I'm not wanting to hail Phelan as some tactical genius but the bloke deserves great credit for how the first 5 games of the season have turned out. He's not got everything right but, like I said yesterday, we'll see his true worth as a manager if he shows he can change and adapt when things haven't gone to plan. At least if things have gone a bit flat after yesterday, we know we have very capable options to come in from the sidelines.
