They went well at the beginning of last season. 3 wins in 3. Journalists said they had their swagger back.

As usual let's wait until 10 games to see a general pattern. (even that's not enough).

United convincingly won their first game of the season last year too. I expect the hype around them to grow as they've a handy run for the next few weeks but we'll see where they are after Christmas.

Just realised the new Kyle Walker won MOTM for Spurs earlier on. They have already got their replacement.

Wouldn't worry West Ham and Newcastle are out and out crudballs

Newcastle were holding tight till the sending off, could have gone either way at 11 v 11.

Lukaku is going to score a shit ton of goals for Man U, unfortunately.

Yep, sometimes its really disappointing to be so right all the time.

I have no idea why anyone thought Lukaku wouldn't be extremely productive for a top side, but it's going to turn out to have been a popular misconception.

Have people said that he's unproductive or that he isn't good?

I think the reservation people have about him is how he'll cope with the bus parkers or top teams, say in the CL knock out phase,  who won't afford him the kind of space West Ham were so kind to give him today.

A striker that's limited in confined spaces can be very detrimental to a team''s attack - we've seen that often with Walcott despite his huge volume of goals over a season.

Utd looked good. I hope its just the early matches and they dont sustain this

Matic and Lukaku are great buys, if they get Perisic I would make them favourites for the league.

The Lukakuites getting their 'I told you so's in early I see. They know it's only downhill from here.

United as a whole looked pretty good, don't know how much of that is down to West Sham though.

A guy with a goal scoring record in the PL like Lukaku's made him a foolproof signing.

Lukaku, Salah, Morata and Lacazette all scored on their debuts and were generally impressive. Will be interesting to follow them from here.

It would be good if Arsenal bought more PL ready players like United have done for years.

I guess it goes both ways. Sometimes you get Arteta, sometimes you get Welbeck.
