I'm factoring in the United win.

Still think Naismith was the wrong sub at the time, no one would have expected, or even thought it was possible Naismith could do that.

Still don't like the way Lukaku is basically not used.

Very happy overall though

naismith always scores against chelsea

 

[mythbuster]

What's he doing bringing Naismith on, ffs.

8 points from the first 5 games of the opening "10 game start from hell".

I think most of us would have accepted as reasonable about 12 from that set of fixtures. I reckon we can get between 15 and 20 points - injuries permitting.

how many more do we need before it's not permitting? hope coleman was just a knock.

Also. Lads. We defended really well on corners.

Love that! Mourinho looks like he wishes he was as special as Roberto.

Hes still got a few weeks to keep his job for me, said all along I would have a look at his job prospects in October.

Suppose its looking good for him so far.

Im not prone to kneejerking David.

3 tough away games coming up, lets hope he doesnt choke.

Ha!
Without fear. We play with what the manager and myself call 'arrogance'.

Spot on tactically today and we were excellent defensively as well, which has been my main criticism of him for ages.

The tough start to the season could have been really tricky, but eight points from five games is probably more than most of us were expecting if we're being honest. Add to that turning round the game at Barnsley and Martinez will be quietly pleased with how the season's going.
