United would be below us in the table if not for Zlatan. All that money and talent in the squad and he's their only reliable goal scorer.

At 35 -- the same age that sees Barry labelled a grandad -- he's having his first season in the prem, and instantly he's making it happen. He's on course for over 20 goals, easy. It makes me laugh how so many English people have refused to acknowledge his ability for so long.

Anyone who knows football, knows Zlatan is a God.

i got to admit, didn't think he'd find it this easy. I knew he wouldn't flop, just thought he'd get about 12/13 in the league for the season. However, i do have a feeling he'll go through a bad run in the second half of the season.
 
Wycombe have now won 8 matches in a row. We have a young striker called Scott Kashket who scored the winner v Orient today. Mark my words, he will be playing at a very high level soon.

Man United are decent, but seem to be missing something that'll bridge them from good to great

It's our wing players I think. Today we had Rooney and Lingard who are both average (despite his assist)

It's just far too slow. Martial has gone completely out of form this season. Mkhitaryan is looking really good but has been injured....he is meant to be back for the return of Moyes on boxing day though.

I didn't expect him to make this kind of impact. He had a bad run for 3 or 4 games where he got into great positions but missed sitters (Stoke and Burnley in particular, missed big chances vs Liverpool + Chelsea too). He could easily be on 13-14PL goals right now.

I don't understand how he is in such great shape at 35. At 70 mins today he was running at full speed after a counter attack...when the likes of Rooney seem finished at 30 I guess it shows how much taking care of yourself can make a difference. From what I've read Zlatan doesn't smoke or drink and doesn't go out much either.

During his bad run in October Mourinho told the press that he was going to renew his contract for another year so I wonder if that helped his confidence. We are going to have a 36 year old Ibra leading our line next year!

We have been playing well for a long time. Stoke and Burnley at home we completely dominated but drew. Arsenal we were the better team and had 5 shots on target compared to their 1 (in the 89 minute which they scored!!). Everton we were good for 60 minutes and should have held on until fellaini decided to be fellaini

Overall we have progressed as a team and don't look anything like we did under Moyes or LVG. It's hard to think of the last game where I have thought where we are trying to avoid defeat or hang on.
